Modern Filipiniana Wedding Dresses — Designed With You, Here in New Zealand
A white-glove Filipiniana bridal experience for Filipina brides in New Zealand and Australia — honoring heritage through couture craftsmanship and personal, in-person guidance.
From Overseas Brides to Local Filipina Brides in New Zealand
We began by serving Filipina brides overseas — in the US, Canada, and beyond — designing Filipiniana wedding dresses through a fully guided remote experience.
Now, we bring that same level of craftsmanship home.
If you’re a Filipina bride based in New Zealand and Australia, you no longer need to:
Fly back to the Philippines for fittings
Settle for generic bridal designs
Compromise between culture and couture
You can experience your Filipiniana gown — hands-on, in person, here in New Zealand.
This is where heritage meets precision.
From structured butterfly sleeves to modern silhouettes, every gown blends:
Filipino identity
Elevated, couture craftsmanship
Architectural sleeve structure
Contemporary bridal refinement
Personal, guided fittings
This is not traditional for tradition’s sake.
This is Filipiniana — redesigned for the modern bride who wants presence, power, and polish.
Your wedding dress isn’t just a dress — it’s your cultural story, beautifully told.
For Filipina brides abroad, your gown carries more meaning than most people realize.
It’s the moment your culture becomes visible.
The moment your fiancé’s family experiences a piece of who you are.
The moment two families — sometimes two cultures — come together in celebration.
And whether your groom is Filipino or not, your Filipiniana gown becomes a shared story:
A way to honor your heritage
A bridge between families
A symbol of respect and love
A modern expression of tradition
A moment you both cherish
Most brides don’t want “fully traditional” or “fully modern.”
They want that beautiful blend — elegant, meaningful, and contemporary.
That’s exactly what we design.
Your Local Experience
Step 1 – Private Video Consultation
We discuss your vision, wedding theme, timeline, and investment.
Step 2 – In-Person Fitting & Measurements
Feel the fabrics. See the sleeve structure. Experience the details up close.
Step 3 – Dress Creation
Your custom Filipiniana gown is handcrafted with precision.
Step 4 – Final Fitting
Refinements for a flawless silhouette.
Step 5 – Wedding Day Support (Optional)
I personally ensure your gown sits perfectly on your most important day.
Please Note:
The journey outlined above reflects our Full Custom Experience.
For brides selecting a Made-To-Order (MTO) design from our catalogue, the process is more streamlined. MTO orders include a detailed measurement guide and direct production, and do not include mock-up fittings or custom design consultations.
Both options uphold our craftsmanship standards — the level of personalization simply differs.

Alyssa’s Filipiniana Couture Journey — From Private Consultation to Wedding Day in New Zealand
“Younger me would never believe I’d be wearing a custom wedding dress made just for me 🥺
Thank you for bringing my vision to life and creating something even more beautiful than I imagined.
From honouring my Filipino heritage to marrying in my second home, New Zealand, every detail felt so deeply me-- elegant, simple and comfortable.
Beyond the dress, I’m forever grateful for your presence on the day — never a stranger, always like a sister. 🤍“
- Alyssa, 2026
Trusted by Filipina Brides Across the US and Canada
Before launching our in-person white-glove experience in New Zealand, our Filipiniana couture process was refined through working with brides internationally — delivering precision even from a distance.
“I can’t believe that you have created my dream wedding dress into reality. I am beyond grateful for this, and you have no idea how blessed I am that I have found you to be able to include in our special day! Thank you so much”
♥Mariyen; From Texas, USA
“It was absolutely stunning and elegant. I wasn’t able to try it on immediately when I received it because of a saying from the Philippines—something along the lines of ‘You can’t try on your wedding dress before the big day, or it will bring bad luck!’ lol. But it was definitely worth the wait…
Once again, thank you so much for being a part of this magical moment in my life. I pray for your continued success and many more beautiful creations in the future. Your talent and craftsmanship truly made my day even more unforgettable, and I’ll always be grateful for the love and effort you put into making my dream dress a reality.”
♥ April; From Maryland, USA
“The dress was a showstopper. The crowd had a shock when I walked into the church. I received so many compliments! People were saying I looked like a princess, which is exactly what we were aiming for.
Thank you so much for being a huge part of our very special day. Looking at these photos, I can see Lucas and I showing our future kids and them being proud of their Filipino heritage. Again, thank you so much for helping me bring my vision to life! Hope we can work together again one day.”
♥ Psalm; From Sydney, Australia
“Thank you so much!! I got so many compliments on my gown! I felt so beautiful and connected to our culture, the dress was everything and then some!! Thank you again for making my wedding dress dreams come true”
