A Celebration of Filipino Wedding Artistry | Featured photo by Law Tapalla Photography
The Manila Hotel and Wedding Essentials once again open their doors this October to “Tadhana”, a spectacular gathering that brings together the country’s most brilliant designers, stylists, and creatives who shape the landscape of Filipino weddings.
This year, Tadhana shines a spotlight on the visionary stylists whose tablescapes transform tradition into living poetry:
“Halimuyak” by Arvin Pingol (San Miguel, Bulacan), a golden love song where sampaguita and ylang-ylang whisper memories.
“Hiraya” by Cacai Muñoz (Central Luzon), a dream brushed with light and longing, blooming in quiet magic.
“Alon at Anahaw” by Monarich Bumanlag (Malolos, Bulacan), soft blue tides and anahaw embrace timeless love.
“Kasaganahan” by Glenda Enriquez-David (San Miguel, Bulacan), radiant abundance, a feast of joy and togetherness.
“Perlas ng Silangan” by Ferdie Talbenito (Hagonoy, Bulacan), luminous elegance, a love poem to the islands.
The evening crescendos with a runway showcase featuring iconic Filipino designers: Chris Diaz, Erik Castelo, Mich Viray, Simoun Andres, and Tadhana’s founding designer Mak Tumang. Their creations, bold, romantic, and steeped in cultural pride, capture the essence of the modern Filipino bride.
