Just hours before her beachfront ceremony, Laureen opened up about her quest for the perfect bridal gown.
The 34-year-old influencer shared that her gown-hunting journey began in June 2023, with the final decision solidifying around October to November 2024.
Launching her quest in Hong Kong, Laureen scoured through various shops before expanding her search to encompass bridal boutiques like Rosa Clara in Makati, as well as those located in Thailand, California, and New York.
Ultimately, it was love at first sight when Laureen laid eyes on her beach wedding dress at The Loft in Hong Kong—a boutique she had visited early on in her gown-seeking adventure.
Sharing her sentiments about her bridal gown, Laureen simply stated, "When I tried it on, I felt my best. I felt confident. I felt sexy. I felt beautiful. It was also perfect for a beach wedding, in my opinion."
Lauren also shared a piece of advice for future brides based on her experience.
She said, "I think it's okay to take your time when you're searching for the dress because may makikita tayong maganda.
"And you'll never know, in a few months may makikita ka pang mas gusto mo.
"So what I did is I really took pictures of the dresses that I wanted, including the bridal shops."
In the vlog, Laureen revealed that this serves as her second ceremony look, following a previous church wedding in Manila before their beach celebration.
While Laureen has yet to post her bridal ensemble on her Instagram account, she mentioned opting for a bridal gown from Rosa Clara.
In addition to her wedding ceremony gowns, Laureen also embraced designs by Filipino talents during her wedding getaway.
For the welcome dinner, she elegantly wore a custom Rajo Laurel dress, featuring the designer's signature structured details.
Meanwhile, she dazzled in her wedding reception wearing a dress meticulously crafted by Neric Beltran.
