She knows what works for her. And that always makes the collaborative process easy,&quot; Vania told <strong>Metro.Style</strong>. &quot;Leila&#x27;s fittings were always such a breeze. It was always so memorable every time she would visit the atelier. Her mom joining us made it extra special and filled with beautiful and emotional moments.&quot;</p><p style="text-align:left">Vania&#x27;s exquisite taste and excellent craftsmanship are a perfect match for this stylish, creative bridechilla. Leila&#x27;s ceremony gown is minimalist yet stunning: an off-shoulder micropleated dress that mirrors her simplicity.</p><p>&quot;Leila wanted something that reflected her personality. Easy, effortless, and romantic,&quot; Vania shared. &quot;She wanted to wear something soft and light. We opted to work with textured chiffon and chose to do subtle embellishments of French lace and pearls.&quot;</p><p>With Vania as a go-to bridal designer, her expertise in finding the right balance between timeless fashion and personality-driven design is truly sought-after. When choosing their wedding gown design, Vania advises brides to focus on what works for them. She said, &quot;Most of the time, there can be so many options and opinions that it can get overwhelming, but knowing what makes you feel good and yourself is all that matters.&quot;</p><div> </div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1766033158836ROB05599.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1766033176813ROB05595.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><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/1766033189014ROB05592.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner">Photos by NicePrint Photo</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><p>Mito, on the other hand, veered away from the suit and wore something more fit for their Filipiniana theme.

The <em>barong </em>by Kelvin features doodles as lovely as they are significant. </p><p><em></em><em></em><em></em><em></em>Kelvin told <strong>Metro.Style</strong>, &quot;The doodles represent personal elements from the couple&#x27;s life and story, including their traditional Taal ancestral home, a bonsai tree, their dogs, a May Street sign, a video camera, a Balinese god figure interpreted through a <em>barong </em>motif, and footsteps symbolizing their journey together.&quot; </p><p>While Mito had these ideas, Kelvin noted how collaborative the groom was and how much he trusted and respected the vision and direction of the designer, something that is key in making the designer-client collaboration a success. </p><div style="text-align:left"><em></em><strong></strong></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1766034463215A love that is set to the right soundtrack 🎶🥰 Musicians Leila Alcasid and Mito Fabie just held (1).jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1766033215914A love that is set to the right soundtrack 🎶🥰 Musicians Leila Alcasid and Mito Fabie just held.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><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/1766034508135METRO WEDDINGS LEILA ALCASID MITO FABIE COVER.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner">Photos by NicePrint Photo</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>For an occasion as special as a wedding, it&#x27;s important for couples to work with a team whose vision and work style align with theirs.
