🌸 Attire Theme: Sampaguita and Silk 🌸

Inspired by the Philippines' national flower, the Sampaguita, and the elegance of silk, this theme is all about a graceful, nostalgic vibe. Think:

• Floral patterns or soft, neutral tones
• Flowy silks, breezy fabrics like linen or chiffon
• Traditional Filipino embroidery
• Modern twists on Filipino attire

Mix and match for your own unique look!
