Kristel Fulgar is making steady progress toward her much-anticipated wedding. The actress and content creator recently had her wedding gown fitting in Korea, marking an exciting milestone in her bridal journey.
"I'm so excited because this is the dress I'll be wearing on my very special day," she shared in her latest YouTube vlog.
Kristel revealed that she will be wearing two gowns on her wedding day—one for the church ceremony and another for the reception.
Joining her at the bridal shop was her fiancé, Ha Su-hyuk, who helped her choose the perfect gowns.
"I wanted him to be part of the selection process. I don’t really mind if he sees the dress beforehand—it's totally fine with me. I’m just so excited," she said.
In her vlog, Kristel gave viewers a sneak peek at the various gowns she tried on.
"It's very beautiful," she remarked upon fitting the first one.
Su-hyuk couldn’t hide his excitement either. "So pretty. I want to get married immediately!" he gushed.
Reflecting on the experience, Kristel shared how much she enjoyed the process of choosing her wedding dresses.
"It felt amazing! I was so giddy while trying them on. It made me realize that the wedding is really happening soon. Honestly, the gowns were quite affordable. I thought rentals would be expensive given their quality," she said.
She disclosed that both of her gowns came at a surprisingly reasonable price.
"For the two wedding gowns—one for the church and one for the reception—I only spent around ₱50,000 in total," she revealed.
Kristel also praised the bridal shop for its efficiency and thoughtful service.
"I really appreciated their system—everything was quick, and the presentation was beautiful. They even fixed my hair and added a tiara so I could visualize my full look. Every time I looked in the mirror, I was amazed. The lighting made everything even more stunning," she shared.
The actress also expressed a practical mindset when it comes to keeping wedding memorabilia.
"I don’t feel the need to keep my wedding dress for sentimental value. I think having photos as memories of my special day is enough. It doesn’t really matter if the gown isn’t custom-made—I was just so happy with the quality," she explained.
Kristel added that having Su-hyuk by her side made the decision-making process much easier.
"It was tough to choose because all the gowns were so beautiful. But I’m really happy with my final picks. They looked even better in person than in the pictures. Having Su-hyuk with me helped a lot—I was able to decide faster with his input," she said.
