Conrad Manila once again set the stage for wedding elegance with the return of Inspired Beginnings, its signature bridal showcase held last June 28-29. Now on its sixth edition, the event brought together the country’s most celebrated designers, stylists, and wedding tastemakers for a weekend of curated inspiration.
A collaboration with Getting Married Wedding Coordinators and Event Planners by Kutchie Zaldarriaga, this year’s fair transformed the Forbes and Taft Ballrooms into immersive wedding galleries. Headlining the event was DEVOCIÓN, a solo couture show by Francis Libiran, unveiling his latest bridal collection in a dramatic opening night directed by Ariel Lozada.
Throughout the weekend, couples enjoyed exclusive designer fittings at the trunk show and met top suppliers during the expo. A grand finale fashion show directed by Robby Carmona featured equally talented designers Rian Fernandez, Manny Halasan, Nat Manilag, Ehrran Montoya, Val Taguba, Vee Tan, and Ryan Ablaza Uson, presenting a fresh take on modern bridalwear.
The styling showcase featured tablescapes inspired by Filipino artists, elevating event styling into a celebration of local creativity. Featuring works from Randy Lazaro, Blooms Events by Allen & JP, Ginger Gaddi, Drew Menor, Dave Sandoval, Tiger Lim, FJ Sionson and Kathy Sy-King.
With visionary design, exclusive experiences, and passionate collaboration, Inspired Beginnings 2025 reaffirmed Conrad Manila’s position as a leading destination for dream weddings in the Philippines.
