Church doors open, all eyes fixed on
the bridal procession, waiting for the much anticipated moment where the bride
will walk down the aisle to Mendelssohn’s tune or perhaps Canon in D by
Pachalbel. The groom’s heart pounds faster and faster, getting more nervous
with every beat as the bride inches her way to the altar, but the promise of
love takes all anxiety away to where forever starts.
Weddings are one of the most
challenging events to prepare for a couple as it involves not only themselves
but also their families and friends who are witnesses to their union. Even the simplest wedding ceremony takes
months and some more than a year to prepare everything, from minute things like
invitations, giveaways, flowers, arrhae, veil, cord, specially the rings, to the
bigger ones like the guest list, the church, reception venue and food, and of
course the gowns and suits.
The month of June, often tagged “The
Wedding Month,” is here again. It’s the month where you see couples who will
exchange marital vows take on everything that needs to be prepared before they
engage in marital bliss. Aside from emotional preparedness, the couple should
also be ready for their look.
For impressive ideas regarding their
wedding outfit, Tutuban Center, the shopping haven for bargain hunters located
at the heart of Manila, recently held “The Wedding Anthology: Formal, Wedding
and Evening Wear,” a fashion show that featured Tutuban’s tenants specializing
in formal wear for both men and women.
The show kicked off with an array of
suits for men for any formal occasion, followed by the ladies’ sophisticatedly
designed evening dresses that left most of the audience in awe. The next set
featured the most anticipated wedding attires, with men in dashing form wearing
classic barong, while the women
looked extremely elegant in their gowns studded with elaborate decorations.
The show was of tremendous benefit
for those scouting for the next glossy and trendy look when it comes to formal
wear—wedding or not—and the array of remarkable clothes presented during the
show made couple’s eyes’ a-glitter with excitement, their hearts a-fluttering
as they visualize how they would both look like the moment they are in church
in front of the eyes of their families, relatives and friends.
Weddings have always been one of the
most anticipated and extraordinary events in anyone’s life, a great moment of celebration
for the couple and their loved one.. But more than all the preparations to make
a wedding day beautiful and memorable, more than how the wedding should look,
what really matters is how the couple would handle the following days of their
married life—together, and more importantly, forever.
Tutuban Center is located along
historic C.M. Recto Avenue right at the heart of Manila’s shopping district.
