Love was truly in the air at The Bellevue Manila as Bells & Vows 2025 unfolded, turning the premier destination in the metro south into a haven of romance and inspiration.
In partnership with Wedding Essentials and Sweet Comfort Event Management, this year’s edition gathered the country’s finest wedding creatives and suppliers to guide soon-to-weds in crafting their dream celebrations.
“Bells & Vows has always been about giving couples more than options, it’s about giving them inspiration,” shared Patrick Chan, Managing Director of The Bellevue Hotels & Resorts. “Every corner of this event was designed to help them imagine a wedding that feels like them.”
Guests were treated to a visual feast of styled vignettes that reflected diverse tastes and visions:
Representing the timeless romance of the classic couple was a vignette beautifully curated by Amelia Blossoms by Marinel Marcelo, with photo reels by NQ Photography. The scene was made even sweeter with a signature cake from The Bellevue Hotel and bespoke creations by Froilan Dosdosen, flower cart display by Tally PH, plus a playful Paparazzzzzi activity that brought out everyone’s inner celebrity.
For couples who honor tradition, the Ting Hun setup by Events Central by Anna Winstel stood out as a crowd favorite. Paired with the artistry of Amady Manila, a handcrafted Bellevue cake, elegant designs by Marc Ngan, and an inviting Coffee Bar by The Bellevue, it offered guests a beautiful glimpse of what a modern yet meaningful Chinese engagement could look like.
Meanwhile, Il Fiore transported guests to a dreamy seaside celebration. With Boy Kastner-Santos’ timeless bridal pieces, a chic Bellevue cake, and the live artistry of Mariya Studio painting the moment as it unfolded, this beach-inspired vignette captured the magic of love by the shore.
The main stage became the true centerpiece of the evening, awash in Bellevue’s signature hues of blue that perfectly captured the property’s spirit of elegance and warmth. Designed and masterfully brought to life by MC Pascual, the stage set the tone for a night that was both sophisticated and heartfelt, a visual reminder that every love story deserves a beautiful setting.
“Our goal is to show that weddings are not just events, they are love stories brought to life,” ,” shared Elvie Sanchez-Quiazon, Vice President for Sales & Marketing of The Bellevue Manila and B Hotel Alabang.
