Article (news)

<p>One of the Philippines&#x27; brightest actresses,<strong> Bea Alonzo</strong>, finally tied the knot with businessman<strong> Vincent Co</strong> on July 13, 2026. Surprising everyone with this happy news, the couple also made a buzz for how simple and elegant their wedding was, putting the spotlight on the current trend for intimate celebrations. Bea and Vincent had a civil wedding ceremony, officiated by Makati City Mayor <strong>Nancy Binay</strong>. As days unfold, we&#x27;re learning more about this low-key couple&#x27;s wedding, and we&#x27;re loving how intimate and heartfelt it seemed. </p><p>Seeing more details about the much-talked-about wedding, we&#x27;re delighted to see patterns in how weddings are celebrated today—in how less can be more, how simplicity can be synonymous with elegance, and how an intimate event can be a prelude to a bigger celebration. </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/1784175138632bea alonzo vincent co wedding details 2.jpg" style="width:960px;display:block;height:auto" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner">Photos from @beaalonzo</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p style="text-align:left">Interestingly, Bea Alonzo and Vincent Co&#x27;s wedding had some things in common with recent celebrity weddings, like those of <strong>Selena Gomez</strong> and<strong> Benny Blanco </strong>in September 2025 and<strong> Dua Lipa</strong> and <strong>Callum Turner </strong>in May 2026. </p><div style="text-align:left"><br/></div><div style="text-align:left"><strong>Here are four wedding trends, as inspired by the above-mentioned events:</strong></div><div style="text-align:left"><br/></div><div style="text-align:left"><strong>A balance between tailored and soft elements makes a modern bridal ensemble look more powerful.</strong></div><p style="text-align:left">Bea Alonzo wore a tailored white coat with a deep-V neckline and corset-like detailing for a structured look; its design drew beautiful emphasis on the waistline, creating an hourglass silhouette. The Filipino actress paired this elegant top with a lace skirt of an ideal length that peeked from beneath the coat just enough to add a feminine touch to the modern bridalwear. </p><p style="text-align:left">Meanwhile, for the rehearsal dinner ahead of her California wedding, Selena Gomez donned a white tuxedo dress, which was accessorized with an oversized floral brooch, softening her tailored look in an instant. As Selena did for that intimate pre-wedding celebration, we also loved that Bea pulled her hair back in a neat high ponytail that curled outward. </p><p style="text-align:left">Dua Lipa also donned a sharp ensemble for her civil wedding. Her structured blazer had the same hourglass silhouette as Bea&#x27;s, but instead of a short skirt, the pop star went for a classic pencil skirt. She topped off her bridal look with an oversized hat whose curved edges lent a softer touch to the sharp and chic look. </p><div style="text-align:left"><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/1784175109310bea alonzo vincent co wedding details 1.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo from @beaalonzo</span></span></span></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/1784176302544selena benny wedding.png" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo from @selenagomez</span></span></span></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/1784176369394dua callum wedding.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo from @dualipa</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>A hand-tied bouquet is perfect for an intimate celebration like a civil wedding.</strong></div><p>Simple doesn&#x27;t have to mean boring. As the bridal looks of Bea and Dua for their respective civil weddings showed, it&#x27;s best to punctuate modern bridalwear with a bouquet that looks casually yet artfully thrown together: a hand-tied bouquet. It looks organic and adds just the right visual punch. </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/1784176775295Home🤍 (3).jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo from @beaalonzo</span></span></span></div><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/1784176804054712357491_18622539484043196_4440095996910222929_n.jpg" style="width:960px;display:block;height:auto" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo from @dualipa</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Minimalist cakes have become a favorite in weddings today.</strong></div><p>Gone were the days when most couples would go for towering, multi-tiered cakes. While those remain go-tos, more and more modern couples are leaning toward simpler and smaller wedding cakes. Whether for practical reasons or a matter of taste, there&#x27;s no denying the charm of these <em>aegyo </em>cakes, so it&#x27;s easy to see why celebrity brides like Bea and Selena went for these designs.</p><p>Both stars opted for minimalist white cakes for their weddings, with a short and sweet message topping them off: &quot;Just Married.&quot; While Selena&#x27;s cake was heart-shaped and Bea&#x27;s <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DazbXFKTeLh/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Wadough&#x27;s</a> cake was round, both had the same elements, giving engaged couples a visually delightful idea for their own celebrations. <em></em><em></em></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/1784177023055bea alonzo vincent co wedding details 3.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo from @beaalonzo</span></span></span></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/1784177189463556646650_18629340991019724_4661488569166283675_n.jpg" style="width:960px;display:block;height:auto" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo from @selenagomez</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>A civil wedding before a bigger celebration? </strong></div><p>Will Bea and Vincent have a bigger wedding? While there&#x27;s no confirmation on plans for a larger wedding for the two, it could be a possibility since the couple was previously rumored to hold a grand destination wedding in Spain, which was reportedly cancelled or postponed due to disagreements over a prenuptial agreement. If that wedding pushes through, it just further reinforces a wedding trend today, where couples opt to hold intimate civil wedding ceremonies first before holding grander events. That was what Dua and Callum did. Following their civil wedding last May, the couple held a three-day wedding affair in Italy. These wedding weekends or multi-day parties are also common nowadays, giving a twist to destination weddings. </p><p>Bonus: Classic black-and-white photographs for these intimate civil weddings?
