In an interview with <strong>Metro.Style</strong>, designer Alan Del Rosario described his creation, saying, &quot;It&#x27;s a 3-tiered drop-waist ball gown that turns into a mermaid gown by removing the top layer of the dress.&quot; </p><p>Not only beautiful, but the design is also practical, making the outfit change for the reception easy and seamless. The off-shoulder design transformed into a strapless style in no time! Aside from the silhouette, the gown&#x27;s shade and textures are also remarkable. The designer detailed, &quot;The eggshell-colored dress bodice is pleated meticulously in silk chiffon on top of a duchess satin. For the skirt flounce and ruffles, I used a fabric from Spain. It is this uniquely embossed, embroidered lace with rose and carnation patterns. The skirt was designed with irregular mixed layers of ruffles and flounces, with ruffled chiffon randomly mixed into it.&quot; </p><p>The perfect accessory to go with it was the bridal bouquet by <strong>Gideon Hermosa</strong>, who described the unique style as something &quot;created with intention, softness, and meaning.&quot;</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769489592823embed_1V1A0752.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/1769524578446jamie herrell cebu wedding gown (1).png" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><p style="text-align:left">To ensure a flawless transition from ceremony to reception, the mermaid dress underneath was appliquéd strategically with the same fabric design as the skirt. It was then wrapped and draped with silk chiffon to give it a modest look, perfect for the church ceremony.</p><p style="text-align:left">Our favorite thing about this creation was that the petticoat beneath, which is made of this light but stiff acetate/acrylic fabric, had a copy of Matt’s love letter to Jamie. Attaching it to the bridal gown was such a unique, personal touch that just made the masterpiece worth cherishing even more.</p><div style="text-align:left"><br/></div><div><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/1769489470835embed_ST100842.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Jamie and Matt at their Ilocos Norte wedding</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769492853063embed_1E7A7272.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/1769493054846embed_ST109484.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><p>For the Ilocos Norte wedding—held at <strong>La Virgen Milagrosa</strong> in Badoc for the ceremony and <strong>Sitio Remedios</strong> in Currimao for the reception—Jamie&#x27;s wedding gown had a similar silhouette and texture, but its elegant details exuded a different vibe. Made from <em>piña </em>fabric from a local weaver, the gown was meticulously crafted while ensuring the material&#x27;s organic features were retained to show what the designer described as &quot;beautiful imperfections.&quot;<em></em></p><p>&quot;This is the first time I used this fabric,&quot; Alan revealed. &quot;It’s so delicate and a bit temperamental. I used duchess satin as the base fabric inside. Strips of bias-cut <em>piña</em> fabric were strategically placed to give it an irregular pleated effect.&quot; The masterful approach gave the skirt an exquisite flounce that looked playful yet sophisticated at the same time.</p><p>&quot;As an accent, I made this flower in the same <em>piña</em> cloth and placed one on the side front and another one on the center back,&quot; Alan said of the design that looked contemporary yet designed to reflect Filipino culture at the same time.</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769492884563embed_DSCF2153.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/1769493090125embed_ST101023.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/1769493220188embed_ST101380.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><p>Alan further told Metro.Style that his goal was to create gowns that would best capture this beauty queen&#x27;s personality, as well as &quot;her youthful yet classy style.&quot; </p><p>It is important for this designer that his brides can walk, run, and dance gracefully and effortlessly in his creations, and that goal and requirement were achieved for Jamie. </p><div><br/></div><p>Photos by <strong>NicePrint Photo</strong><strong></strong><br/></p><div><strong></strong><strong></strong><strong></strong><strong></strong><strong></strong><br/></div>
