Wedding attire is a crucial element of the big day, reflecting the significance of the occasion for everyone involved, from the bride and groom to cherished guests. 

Whether you're the bride eager to stand out, the proud godmother to the couple, or a guest celebrating love, your attire matters. Kultura Filipino offers both traditional and modern garments inspired by the classic Filipiniana style. We've put together a few ideas on what to wear for the bride, female entourage, and guests – take a look! 

For The Bride

A bride deserves to be discerning when choosing her wedding dress, as it serves as a statement of her personal style, traditions, and culture. At Kultura, our bridal dresses draw inspiration from Filipiniana, often featuring dramatic sleeves and unique silhouettes. 

For brides looking for a more modern look, our Modern Maria Bridal Gown is a lovely choice. The garment is crafted from shantung silk, with a sweetheart neckline and detachable sleeves for enhanced versatility.
