Bespoke Wedding Dresses: How Custom Gowns Make Your Day Uniquely Yours


This unforgettable private island wedding at Discovery Coron blended Filipino and Jewish traditions, celestial style, and a couture mermaid gown, all set against a backdrop of ocean waves and sunset skies.
Our wedding was more than beautiful—it was transformative. Guests described it as deeply spiritual and healing. It reunited my father and sister after six years and brought my entire immediate family together for the first time in over a decade. One guest, heartbroken from a long relationship, found unexpected peace. Love and unity filled the air, from spontaneous laughter and quiet tears to DJs mixing sets until sunrise. We showed photos from our Palm Springs civil wedding and Costa Rica engagement, jumped into the pool in suits and dresses, and watched guests joyfully try balut and tinikling for the first time.
Enjoy the planning journey—it’s part of the magic. Stay centred in your love and intentional with every decision. Don’t let outside noise distract you. In the lead-up, care for yourselves, practice self-love, and trust it will all come together. On the day, let go and savour each moment as if you were a guest. Things may not go perfectly, but often, that’s where the real magic lives.
