Just last month, on Valentine's day, a lucky couple got their happy ending—or should we say a new beginning? We're talking about cosplay queen Alodia Gosiengfiao and her new hubby Christopher Quimbo. And although it's almost been a month since they said their "I dos," we just couldn't help but reminisce about their gorgeous nuptials. How could we not? It's not every day you get to witness a fairytale wedding in real life. Ahead, we list down all the times Alodia and Christopher's wedding was a scene straight out of a fantasy storybook.
LOOK: Alodia Gosiengfiao and Christopher Quimbo's Fairytale Wedding
1. When Alodia entered the room and walked down the aisle.
The bride's entrance is always one of the most awaited moments during a wedding and Alodia did not disappoint. As she entered the room, the moon began to rise behind her and as she walked down the aisle flowing water streamed underneath her while the Manila Philharmonic Orchestra played in the background. Now that's how you make an entrance.
We know what you're thinking, how this is even possible? It's all thanks to the magical work of LED Visuals Designer & Visuals Director Always in Motion Live. The entire aisle was an LED catwalk which allowed them to create stunning visuals such as this.
2. Her dragon-inspired wedding dress.
In every fairytale there has got to be a dragon. But in this case, the dragon and the princess just happen to be one and the same. In an exclusive interview with Preview, Alodia revealed that her Mak Tumang wedding gown is actually inspired by dragons. Aside from being an avid Game of Thrones fan, Alodia's zodiac sign also happens to be the year of the dragon. This made having a dragon-inspired dress make perfect sense for the bride.
3. The enchanting venue.
Of course you wouldn't achieve the full fantasy experience without the enchanting venue. Both the wedding ceremony and the reception was held at Marriott Manila and styled by none other than Gideon Hermosa.
Gideon, doing what Gideon does best, transformed the large ballroom into a wild yet elegant forest. The entire venue, from the ceilings and the aisle, leading all the way to the altar was covered in all kinds of floras. Above hung hundreds of lights that mimicked fireflies dancing in the night.
For the reception, he turned the forest into a garden with vines and wisteria in different shades of purple hanging from the cieling. A scene you'd only probably see in fictional TV shows like Bridgerton.
The tables were lined with endless rows of candlelights and roses, making for a truly romantic evening for all the guests.
4. Their couple portrait painting fit for royalty.
Photographs are great, but there's something extra special about having your memories immortalized into a painting. Displayed at the entrance of their wedding venue, a portrait done by Filipino maestro Ronilo Abayan. Although it definitely isn't like any traditional portrait we've seen before, especially with Alodia's ethereal gown and headpiece, it still has that regality to it.
5. The grazing table that could feed a whole kingdom.
If you're looking for a fun way to serve your guests at your wedding take some cues from Alodia and Christopher. A grazing table doesn't just look absolutely delicious it adds to the aesthetic of their wedding too. Just look at how Gourmet Treats arranged their grazing table. It's a work of art itself.
6. Their 10-tier floral wedding cake.
If you thought the grazing table was amazing, just check out their wedding cake done by Honey Glaze Cakes. This intricately designed all-white wedding cake has 10-tiers and is almost as tall or even taller than the bride and groom. The cake was so massive that a knife wasn't enough to cut it. So what did they use? A sword, obviously.
7. The couple's kiss.
And of course, no fairytale ending is complete without a true love's kiss.
Congratulations again, Alodia and Chris!
