With the ability to make brides say yes to the dress, Patricia Santos reveals her secret to pulling off a DIY wedding that came straight out of a fairytale

Patricia Santo

When you think of Patricia Santos, you think of delicate lace, intricate embroidery, and layers of tulle on a gown the exudes feminine truth and beauty for her special day. While her creations have been worn by Megan Young, Jessy Mendiola, Dani Barretto on their wedding days and even Liza Soberano and Kathryn Bernardo on the red-carpet, when it came to the day that the bridal designer had to plan her own dream wedding, it was nothing short of a surprise. Whether it be venue changes due to sudden rain or the entourage getting stuck in traffic, no wedding is perfect; but in Santos’ case, her wedding dream in Paris ended because of an unwelcome guest–a global pandemic. Normally, this kind of situation is a valid “bridezilla” moment, but with Santos’ genuine positive personality, a laugh that can brighten any day, and most of all the simplicity of wanting to celebrate her love with her then-fiancée Lester Yao, the designer decided to take matters into her own hands.

ALL A-GLOW– The designer is as beautiful as the gowns she creates
