Article (news)

<p><strong>Alyana Asistio </strong>and<strong> Bryan Mendoza</strong> <strong></strong>tied the knot with a three-day wedding weekend in <strong>Dumaguete</strong>, kicking off the holiday season with so much joy and love<strong></strong>. The couple gathered their family and friends to witness their union in Catholic and Christian weddings. </p><p>Classic, timeless, and heartfelt are the perfect words that can describe the overall wedding, ultimately highlighting the true meaning of the occasion. After five years of togetherness, Alyana and Bryan have reached the starting point of forever; they marked the milestone of reaching this far in their relationship with an elegant celebration that focused on candid emotions and honored traditions. </p><p>For the Catholic wedding ceremony, fashion designer<strong> Ingrid Santillan </strong>revealed that the bride wanted something classic and fit for a royal wedding. &quot;I have known Yana since her younger years. And even from then, she&#x27;s always been into classic clothing, so her silhouette preferences no longer surprised me. She always likes clean cuts and classic designs that will still look beautiful even after 40 years or more. She is not into trends, and she&#x27;s more of an heirloom kind of woman. She always wanted a full coverage wedding dress<em> a la</em> royalty. And that&#x27;s exactly what we did for her,&quot; Ingrid told <strong>Metro.Style</strong>.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17647663200451000103481.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo by NicePrint Photo</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>Classic minimalism defined Alyana&#x27;s first wedding gown, which she envisioned to be simple yet beautiful, clean yet chic. With the bride sure of what she wanted, the whole design process became easier. Ingrid created a long-sleeved, princess-cut creation, with a classic silhouette, made of a delicate and crisp material. &quot;We opted for peau de soie gazar fabric and collaborated on our thoughts in terms of the final design. I have always seen her in a clean ivory white princess-cut dress with just back buttons as details. We both wanted it to be solemn and ultra clean.&quot;</p><p>A key detail in Alyana&#x27;s bridal ensemble is her open laced veil, which Ingrid specifically suggested to highlight Alyana&#x27;s beautiful face. &quot;I think this dress really resonated with her character,&quot; Ingrid added.</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1764763021249embed_KNE01074.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/1764763047671embed_KNE02079.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/1764764205890embed___KNE01919.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/1764763062629embed_KNE02749.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/1764763175053embed___KNE02989.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1764763082949embed_KNE03329.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1764763160092embed_JOY03161.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/1764763106072embed_KNE02829.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/1764762721349embed___JOY03641.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><p style="text-align:left">The bride&#x27;s look was completely different for the Christian wedding ceremony, held at The Mango Ranch&#x27;s gorgeous glasshouse. </p><p style="text-align:left">Alyana was a modern bride in a sophisticated strapless dress, embellished to perfection by Ingrid and her team.</p><p style="text-align:left">Ingrid detailed, &quot;For the Christian wedding dress, we wanted to shift into something detailed but still easy on the eyes. She wanted something different so we opted for a draped mermaid cut dress fully embellished with different kinds of crystals, swarovskis, and pearls. We also used a full veil coverage studded with a lot of stones.&quot;</p><p style="text-align:left">The design looked chic and comfy, which was especially ideal since it transitioned into the party, allowing Alyana to move freely yet still look well put-together in photographs.</p><div style="text-align:left"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1764764102087embed_KNE05530.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/1764764043106embed_JOY03530.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/1764764057607embed_JOY03558.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/1764764083507embed_KNE05847.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/1764764023829embed___KNE05923.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/1764764130526embed_KNE06377.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/1764764184307embed___JOY05014.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/1764764147050embed_JOY05086.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><p style="text-align:left">Given how happy Alyana is with her bridal ensembles, the client-designer collaboration was truly a match made in heaven. &quot;I guess it&#x27;s really important to have a good relationship and connection with your brides to be able to curate something that perfectly matches their personality,&quot; Ingrid pointed out.</p><p style="text-align:left">At the end of the day, it&#x27;s also important for brides to trust in their designer of choice and believe in their vision. And because that was the case for Alyana and Ingrid, everything came together beautifully and as planned.</p><p style="text-align:left">&quot;It was such a breeze working with her. She never questioned my ideas and work ethics and just gave me all her faith and trust. She just asked me about her fitting schedules and that was it. I did see her enjoy the entire journey, too, maybe because she already knew what she wanted, and we&#x27;be been working with them (her and her sisters) for many years already. So I guess that made her comfortable. She is far from the usual bridezillas. It was just all smiles, happy moments and fun fittings with her. She just told me to do my magic.&quot;</p><div style="text-align:left"><br/></div><p style="text-align:left">Photos by <strong>NicePrint Photo</strong></p>
