The
bride wore a flaming red gown, her signature color, to her wedding.
Singer-actress Regine Velasquez, who tied the knot on Wednesday with longtime boyfriend, singer-songwriter Ogie Alcasid, “derives power from that color,†her friend, fashion designer Rajo Laurel, told the Philippine Daily Inquirer by phone.
The off-shoulder outfit was a creation of Monique Lhuiller, the US-based Filipino designer who has also designed gowns for Hollywood celebrities Britney Spears, Carrie Underwood, Kristen Stewart and Hillary Duff.
Alcasid’s gray suit was by Randy Ortiz. “I have nothing against the barong Tagalog. It’s just that parang mas pogi kasi ako (it appears I look better in a suit),†he told the Inquirer in a previous interview.
The ceremony was held at The Peak, Terrazas de Punta Fuego Resort, Nasugbu, Batangas.
The wedding rite was set in time for the sunset. “A thousand butterflies were released while Regine was walking down the aisle. They all clung to her. It was an amazing sight,†Laurel said. “Everyone cried when the couple exchanged their marriage vows.â€
