But one detail that truly captured everyone’s attention was how stunning Carla looked on her big day.
CARLA ABELLANA'S WEDDING GOWN
Carla wore a minimalist yet breathtaking gown from renowned Spanish fashion house Rosa Clará.
A day after the wedding, on December 28, 2025, the brand shared behind-the-scenes photos of Carla during her gown fitting.
Her timeless beauty shone through.
According to Valerie Zayco, Rosa Clará Philippines' managing partner, Carla chose the Monica gown from the brand’s 2026 collection.
In an email to PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal), Valerie revealed: "Carla Abellana walked down the aisle in a stunning gown from our 2026 collection called MONICA, paired with a customized mantilla-style veil.
"Crafted from luxurious mikado fabric, the gown features a sophisticated square neckline and deep V-cut sides on the bodice, adding a modern twist to its timeless silhouette.
"It also boasts a low V-shaped back and a long train that can be shortened with a bustle for ease during the reception."
Carla took to Instagram to thank the Rosa Clará team for helping her find the perfect gown and for perfecting every detail of her bridal look until the very last moment.
Her post read: "It has been exactly a week since i got married and we’re still on a high. [emoji] Allow me to now thank the most special individuals and teams behind our most special day. Starting off with ROSA CLARÁ.
"The beauty that is Monica from @rosaclaraph ‘s 2026 collection. The only wedding gown that made me cry as soon as i put it on. And that’s how you know it’s the one. It felt right. It was exactly what i wanted. To me it was perfect.
"And that veil? It made Monica shine. [emoji]
"You know what made it all better? The family i had built with team Rosa Clará. Every visit, every fitting made meaningful.
"I saw the finest quality, felt their utmost care, and received heartfelt service. [emoji] Huge shoutout to Val and Ate Anna.
"Ate Anna was first to arrive at our prep location in Alfonso even if she didn’t have to. And she stayed with me to assist me until our grand entrance at the reception.
"Talk about love and dedication. [emoji] I am forever grateful for ROSA CLARÁ. [emoji]"
Carla also revealed that her wedding veil was a custom creation, and, in a heartwarming gesture, the brand even named it after her.
"P.S. The veil was customized for me. And i just received word that they named the veil after me- the CARLA Veil [emoji]"
