Ellen Adarna's wedding bouquet
As for Ellen's wedding bouquet, it was simply gorgeous! (We have event stylist and production designer Gary Abar Dacanay to thank for that.) Keep scrolling for a closer look at her blooms:
In a recent Instagram exchange, Gary tells Cosmo, "Ellen's bridal bouquet is a perfect example of class and simplicity. Lily of the valley arranged in [an] airy, loose, and organic way. Ellen's request was to make everything light and breezy."
He added, "The lily of the valley is a symbol of royalty. Being a 'royalty' herself from the queen city of the South, this bouquet is just perfect for her. When asked what flower she wanted for her big day, [Ellen said] it's lily of the valley without batting an eyelash."
Gary revealed that his team even prepared two bouquets for Ellen as the lily of the valley (LOTV) wilts fast! And getting them sure wasn't a walk in the park, either. He shared, "During this pandemic, sourcing of flowers had become harder due to transport restictions. Three days before the wedding, the flowers were almost confiscated as it was transported with roots. The thing is, having this kind of bouquets is extra challenging indeed."
But we're so glad it all worked out in the end! The turnout was just amazing! We're obsessed with how the greenery complements the sunset glow.
Of course, the setup and design at the venue did not disappoint. Event stylist and floral designer Randy Lazaro was responsible for the beautiful ceremony styling.
Congratulations to the happy couple!
