Eleven local designers and one from Manila showcased their wedding collections during Wedding Rituals, a fair of Robinsons Place Iloilo last May 30.
The designers were Puey Quinones (Manila), Paolo Tugbang, Neny Dawn Jover, Alfred Jor-el Espina, Mandy Salcedo, Angelette Borja Ragus, Jaki Penalosa, Claire Jarantilla, Grace Clavel, Eric de los Santos, Bo Parcon and Mel Varca.
From the showcase, it showed how the wedding gown has evolved into a more daring, elegant, playful and unique clothing.

Puey, who was wearing a Paolo Tugbang creation, said that he used loca piña and his style was Japanese-inspired. He also raved about the Ilonggo designers. "They have so much potential, especially the young ones who are adventurous," he said.
After that, booths that meet wedding needs have set up at the fountain area.
