Filipino wedding attire for everyone on the guest list. Filipiniana boleros, blouses and gowns for guests, bridesmaids and ninangs, and barong tagalog for the men. Look amazing next to the couple, never over them.
Guests: Filipiniana or formal wear. Pair a gown with a butterfly sleeve bolero, or wear a Filipiniana blouse with a skirt. Men wear a barong tagalog with dark trousers.
Ninangs and ninongs: as principal sponsors, dress a step up. A formal gown with a bolero or an alampay suits a ninang. A classic cream barong suits a ninong.
Bridesmaids and groomsmen: our boleros come in more than 20 colours and sizes XS to 4XL, so the whole entourage can match the wedding palette. Barongs come in cream, black and colour.
