Mark Bumgarner's Instagram Stories put out photos from the fitting sessions of the former Pinoy Big Brother host.
Aside from the perfect draping, the sparkly sampaguita brooch made the simple gown a showstopper.
Mark also revealed the inspiration behind the gown: A sketch of former first lady Imelda Romualdez Marcos, the mother of the newly elected president.
International luxury brand Jewelmer made the Kapamilya actress' dangling pearl earrings adorned with five flowers.
Meanwhile, the 38-year-old vlogger got her striking diamond from Mei Diamond Jewelry.
Toni's swept back side-parted hairstyle was done by celebrity hairstylist Jaymar Lahaylahay, while her make-up was done by Effie Iñigo.
