As many of you know by now, actress Ara Mina tied the knot with PITC undersecretary Dave Almarinez on Wednesday, June 30, and she looked every bit of a queen in her stunning Leo Almodal wedding gown.

Ara and Dave had a royal wedding themed ceremony at Alphaland Baguio Mountain Lodges Chapel in Baguio City, and her wedding gown truly lived up to the theme.

The intricately handcrafted Leo Almodal masterpiece is Baroque Rococo inspired, so it was nothing short of lavish and dramatic, truly fit for a queen.

As designer Leo Almodal himself said, Ara Mina's princess ball dress is “fully crystallized to perfection; from the elaborate neckpiece, bodice, sleeves to the hem!”

Plus, she wore a tiara that perfectly completed her royal bride look.

In his IG post, Leo also revealed an interesting trivia about Ara Mina, whose real name is Hazel Reyes.

He said Ara's gown was corseted and cinched to highlight her enviable tiny waistline of 23 inches!

Additionally, he talked about his pleasant experience working with the gorgeous bride.

“My experience working with @therealaramina :

Down to Earth, kind, easy to work with and very professional.

“It was her idea and her dream and my job is to bring her vision to life!

“Like a Fairy Godfather listening to a princess who is becoming a queen in her own right. Working with Hazel is a pleasure and privilege.”

Ara's husband Dave, on the other hand, looked dapper in his Francis Libiran suit.
