The Wedding Belle launch last January 19,was a celebration of weddings as soon-to-wed couples viewed the website and the first downloadable issue of Wedding Belle’s e-magazine at Prive Luxury Club. Before the show, host Alven Villavicencio of RX93.1, introduced the Creative Editor of Wedding Belle, Alana Barretto, and Publisher Marta Araneta to say a few words. They explained that Wedding Belle is the place to go for couples because it covers everything from engagement to honeymoon. With the connectivity and convenience it offers, it is an ideal reference for any entourage. Alana added that it was “perfect for couples who are planning a wedding since there are updates on the site everyday along with full sections of ideas and top–notch suppliers”.

The fashion show that followed was a showcase of lovely yet sexy wedding gowns by Kristel Yulo, Malou Castillejos, and Jun Escario. Muses who graced us with their presence at the show were Issa Litton, Ashley Gutierrez, Chicho Suarez, Pauline Prieto, Tania Creighton, Bea Candaza, Carla Barretto, Martina Bautista, Camille Tantoco, Erin Lane, and Corinne Javier. The beautiful ‘brides’ took the crowd’s breath away with the stunning designs.

The audience was treated to a raffle with a cute twist as well. Incorporating the classic wedding tradition, the muses tossed the bouquets from the second floor of Prive toward the enthusiastic crowd below. Those who caught the bouquets won overnight stays at wedding destinations and gift certificates for restaurants in the city.

Special thanks to Prive, Great Ideas, Splendid Specialties, Purpledish Catering, Scarlet Begonia, designers, models, stylists and everyone who made the event possible.
