In an exclusive <strong>Metro.Style </strong>interview, Manny talked about the bride&#x27;s initial requirements, saying, &quot;Bea already had a clear vision in mind. She wanted something simple, relaxed, and ethereal. Nothing overly grand or traditional, just a gown that felt true to her and allowed her to move with ease and grace on her big day.&quot;</p><p>And because Beatrice was clear about what she wanted while still respecting the style and philosophy of her designer of choice, Manny said that their collaboration was such a joy. &quot;She was incredibly relaxed, sweet, and kind throughout the process. She shared her vision with me, then simply said, &#x27;Do whatever you think is best…. I trust you,&#x27;&quot; Manny shared. &quot;That level of trust is such a gift for a designer. It allowed me to create freely while still staying true to her personality.&quot;</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760143973622beatrice luigi gomez wedding gown by manny halasan - bridal gown fitting metro exclusive 1.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760144068286beatrice luigi gomez wedding gown by manny halasan - bridal gown fitting metro exclusive 2.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><strong></strong><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760144089559beatrice luigi gomez wedding gown by manny halasan - bridal gown fitting metro exclusive 3.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><p>Beatrice&#x27;s gown for her intimate wedding was a clean and minimalist strapless creation with an elegant cape. &quot;We designed a gown that reflected Bea’s natural elegance and calm energy. Simple and sleek, just like her,&quot; Manny described. </p><p>Because the gown had a no-fuss design, it allowed the bride to move comfortably, which was a top priority for this cool bride. The designer added, &quot;One specific request she had was to include a cape, and she wanted it made of lace. For this, I chose a delicate French lace with subtle sparkle that added a romantic, ethereal touch without overpowering the look. Aside from the main lace cape, I also created a plain chiffon version, something light and flowy that she could wear for her pictorials or the after-party. It gave her more versatility while still keeping everything cohesive and elegant.&quot;</p><div> <img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760144693559beatrice luigi gomez wedding gown by manny halasan - bridal gown fitting metro exclusive 6.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760144708323beatrice luigi gomez wedding gown by manny halasan - bridal gown fitting metro exclusive 7.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760144722238beatrice luigi gomez wedding gown by manny halasan - bridal gown fitting metro exclusive 5.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong></strong></div><p>Beatrice&#x27;s wedding gown story is proof that a balance between comfort, style, and the bride&#x27;s personality is always ideal.
