The ABS-CBN Ball's theme this year is spring formal. Asked about his take on this idea, Dave told Metro.Style, "My interpretation of this theme for the red carpet and the overall look of the Ball—we're still maintaining the signature style of the red carpet of ABS-CBN, which is simple, classic, timeless, and elegant. So, nand'yan pa rin 'yung trademark natin na green walls. But for this year, we're adding a bit of twist to match the 'spring formal' concept."

To guide his mood board, Dave said the idea of a "fresh beginning" came to mind. "Fresh start, blossoming of flowers," he added. "'Pag titingnan mo siya, it looks very clean, very polished, maaliwalas. Simple is the styling direction."

Achieving "understated elegance," as Dave described it, was the goal even for the ballroom. Sharing a key design element in the venue, he cited the classic drapery as a remarkable trend in event styling today. He utilized this style to balance out the floral details, creating focal points for an overall cohesive look. Dave also teased exciting accents we can't wait to see at the ABS-CBN Ball venue: pink chandeliers!

Dave was mindful of the fact that the event would be like a reunion of sorts for many Kapamilya stars, so he said that the tablescapes are put together in such a way that the table setups would be "conversation-friendly." He opted for low arrangements with spring-colored flowers like tulips and Ecuadorian roses.

With the venue surrounded by flowers, we were curious about Dave's favorite flower. He said, "[It's] Phalaenopsis orchids. Kahit isang piece lang siya, statement siya and it's very elegant."

Flowers like that are very aligned with Dave's signature style, which always exudes classic elegance. Describing his aesthetics, he said, "[It's] intricate but not shouting. Our aim should be—more than artistic—it should be tasteful always. Medyo may restrain."
