Kiray Celis' Wedding Ceremony Gown by Jazel Sy

<p>Actress<strong> Kiray Celis</strong> tied the knot with <strong>Stephan Estopia</strong> on December 13, 2025, holding a wedding celebration that was as magical and fairytale-like as she dreamed it would be. </p><p>Kiray and Stephan&#x27;s wedding ceremony was held at the <strong>Shrine of St. Therese of Child Jesus</strong>, followed by a grand reception at the nearby <strong>Sheraton Manila Hotel</strong>. From the get-go, Kiray (or <strong>Johanna</strong>, her real name) wanted to feel like a princess on their big day. This vision specifically guided her wedding outfit choices, which had one thing in common: an intricate design. </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:960px;display:block" width="960"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1765900488287Kiray_Stephan_W030.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner">Bride Kiray Celis, as photographed by Metrophoto</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>Kiray walked down the aisle in a spectacular ensemble that perfectly captured her dream of a &quot;fairytale&quot; wedding. The stunning collection of wedding outfits includes masterpieces by renowned designer <strong>Jazel Sy</strong>, who crafted three looks for the star-studded event.</p><p>Jazel shared that Kiray first reached out to her early this year. The bride met with the designer, bringing a clear vision of what she wanted for her wedding gown, while also respecting the designer&#x27;s style. </p><p>&quot;She wanted a &#x27;fairytale&#x27;-inspired gown,&quot; Jazel told <strong>Metro.Style</strong>. &quot;She wanted a magical, princess-like gown that still felt elegant and sophisticated. Comfort and movement were also important, especially since she would be wearing it for long hours and special moments throughout the day.&quot;</p><div><strong></strong></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1765900933702Kiray_Stephan_W002.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1765900974644Kiray_Stephan_W003.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:960px;display:block" width="960"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1765901040702Kiray_Stephan_W004.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner">Kiray&#x27;s prep gown by Jazel Sy</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>Not your typical bride, Kiray made sure she went all-out for every aspect of the wedding, including her prep look. Veering away from the usual bridal robe, she traded the classic pre-wedding outfit for something that was more aligned with her style and personality. </p><p>&quot;She wanted something different and more <em>her</em>,&quot; Jazel revealed. &quot;So, we designed a minimalist, structured modern tube gown that matched her small waist. It photographed really well, and at the same time, it made it super easy for her glam team to do her makeup on the upper top without anything getting in the way.&quot; </p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center">[[PHOTO ALBUM]]</div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><p>The ethereal, form-fitting dress, featuring a corseted bodice and a thigh-high slit, was a beautiful prelude to her dramatic bridal transformation for her version of a royal wedding. </p><p>&quot;For her main ceremony gown, we really went all-in on the fairytale feel. We made a sparkling ball gown with a very long, dramatic train—something that would wow from the moment she stepped into the aisle,&quot; Jazel detailed. &quot;The gown had custom embroidered lace, all hand-beaded and hand-made, so every detail caught the light beautifully in photos and videos.&quot;</p><p>The bride not just glowed, she also sparkled in her dream wedding gown. </p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1765902161357Kiray_Stephan_W073.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><p style="text-align:left">The reception brought a wardrobe change designed to match the elegant celebration. Jazel created a lighter gown that maintained the dreamy, romantic vibe but allowed Kiray to enjoy the party.</p><p>&quot;We added a tassel style of beading on the lower part. It really did the magic because it really sparkled, and there is also movement on the details during the first dance,&quot; the go-to bridal designer shared. </p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1765902425994Kiray_Stephan_W086.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-2" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DSNalMSEr3w/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=720&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A13832532.8%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-2" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>&quot;Working with Kiray was a joy,&quot; Jazel said. &quot;She was always kind, very appreciative, and open to suggestions.

Without it, you worry less about tripping and can simply enjoy your walk, your gown, and the moment.&quot;</li><li><span id="docs-internal-guid-38204765-7fff-cec1-050c-33cf12268518"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space-collapse:preserve">&quot;You only get married once, so don’t be afraid to wear your dream style—with the help and guidance of a designer you trust. Choose designs that flatter your body type and make you feel beautiful and confident from every angle.&quot;</span></div><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space-collapse:preserve"></span></span></li><li style="text-align:left"><span id="docs-internal-guid-38204765-7fff-cec1-050c-33cf12268518"><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space-collapse:preserve">&quot;If your budget allows, have fun wearing different looks throughout the day: one for prep, your main ceremony gown, and a separate reception gown. It really is like your own little fashion show. Try different silhouettes and styles so each moment feels special and intentional. </span><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space-collapse:preserve">It’s a once-in-a-lifetime day. Think of it as one big show where you get to feel like a star and fully express yourself through your gowns.&quot;</span><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space-collapse:preserve"><br/></span></span></li></ol><div><br/></div><p>Kiray wore a total of five outfits on her wedding day.
