When the rain begins to pour after a long dry spell, flowers magically bloom—hence, it has been a Filipino tradition every month of May (where we experience the first downpour post-summer) to celebrate the beneficial rains by giving praise to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Bringing more cheer to summer, it has been a yearly tradition to select beautiful ladies from every town where we find no shortage of epic, one-of-a-kind creations that check off everything we look for the perfect gown design. Beauty? Craftmanship? Drama? Yes, to all of the above! But, Flores de Mayo or not, we sure can't get enough of beautiful ball gowns. Here are four stunning gowns we spotted at the ASAP Flores de Mayo that might very well be your next dream gown:
Ylona Garcia. This sweetheart's glowing royal blue tulle gown with a dramatic Filipiniana silhouette is made for the quintessential type of lady.

Andrea Brillantes. All white everything, a win in our style book any day. Match your white gown with accessories in the same color and be the simple charming highlight of any room.
