Sometimes a wedding is not just a union of two people, but a blending of two cultures. When I first met Chloe and her then fiancé, Richard, they were in the midst of planning their church wedding in England. Chloe wanted a gown that celebrated her Filipino heritage while reflecting her husband-to-be’s customarily proper culture. Both traditions strongly reflect a love for the classic and romantic, which was a perfect description as well for their picturesque union in a little medieval church in the Oxfordshire countryside 🙂
From Manila to the UK–her strapless gown with a full trumpet skirt combined vanilla-colored bridal taffeta with a demure piña silk top that buttoned up the back
The gown featured dainty, hand beaded French lace appliqués inspired by sampaguita blossoms
A ‘lady-of-the-manor’ gown with a touch of Filipiniana
Best wishes to the beautiful couple! Richard smiles as Chloe blooms in the sunny English countryside
