OFFICIAL MUL ANDUM

Sri Lanka’s leading menswear 

specialist Hameedia launched its 

‘Wedding Collection 2010’ at its 

state-of-the-art flagship store in 

Wellawatte, with its wide range of 

wedding suits in a variety of colors 

and cuts. Complementing the 

collection was an interesting 

array of accessories such as 

shirts, ties, handkerchiefs, bow 

ties, and cufflinks etc. which are 

of international quality and 

class, and it caters to the global 

market as well. 

Says Fouzul Hameed of 

Hameedia, “According to recent 

research that I did, nearly 80% of 

Sri Lankan bridegrooms wait 

until the last moment to 

select their suit, while 

only 20% spend time 

planning. This has to be 

avoided, considering 

that months of planning 

go into the 

bride’s outfit and 

that of her 

retinue. Just like 

the bride, the 

groom himself 

should plan and prepare well in 

advance. If the bridegroom does 

not do so and is not in harmony with 

the bride’s attire, they will end up 

as contrasting figures on the greatest 

day of their life. Since your 

wedding day is the most important 

day in your life and the one you 

would want to remember 

forever, you should make every 

effort to ensure that you look 

your best”. 

FH further said that ‘The 

Groom’s Studio’ at the 

Hameedia Flagship Store at No 

34, Galle Road, Wellawatte is 

the first-of-its-kind in the region 

and caters to the minutest details 

of bridegrooms-to-be, literally 

from head to toe. On an 

appointment basis, a prospective 

bridegroom can avail 

himself of the specialized consultancy 

services of FH and his 

experienced Grooming Team at 

“The Groom’s Studio” with 

regard to every facet of a man’s 

grooming requirements. He will 

be advised on all his clothing 

needs. This also includes the 

groom’s entire retinue, to 

complete the total picture. 

Hameedia also launched its 

special ‘Groom’s Package 2010’ 

with a personalized wedding 

consultation for prospective 

grooms, an interest free easy 

payment scheme facilities for 

HSBC Card Holders and a 

complimentary grooming for the 

Groom and Best Man with the 

Ramani Fernando Salons. Visit 

any Hameedia outlet or call the 

hotline for more details.

ARE YOU EMBARRASSED BY DARK UNDERARMS? 

Every girls’ dream is to have clear beautiful skin from head to toe and underarms 

are no exception. Dark and discoloured underarms can be terribly embarrassing 

but don’t despair help is just a “peel away” 

The Estheti Centre situated at 109 

Kynsey Rd has come up with a simple 

yet effective treatment to get rid of 

dark underarms. 

Discoloured underarms can be 

caused by several factors, 

namely the following 

1) Constant shaving, waxing or hair 

removal creams 

2) Friction- also caused by weight gain 

3) Allergic reactions (may also be due 

to strong deodorants) 

If the darkness is due to the method of 

hair removal your using you may need 

to discontinue it and switch to a less 

aggressive method. We recommend 

Permanent hair reduction using Intense 

Pulsed Light (IPL) to get rid of hair 

permanently and safely. What’s more it 

lightens the discoloration and leaves 

you with beautiful smooth skin as a 

positive FREE side effect! 

Another popular and quick method for 

treating dark underarms is by treating it 

with a course of peels. Skin peels 

containing fruit and milk acids (AHA’s) 

are used to gently peel away the discoloured 

skin in just 15 minutes. A course 

of 6 peels are required over a period 

of 6 weeks so make sure you book your 

34 

self in advance. The treatment 

involves applying a gel to the 

effected area which is then left on for 

10 min and washed off. That’s it! 

Another method of peeling using fine 

crystals may also be used in combination 

with the above mentioned 

peels. This method of peeling gently 

polishes away layer upon layer of 

dead dicoloured cells leaving behind 

smoother, fairer baby soft skin! 

Most peels may not show visible signs 

of peeling, however for deep discoloration 

stronger peels may be used 

which will result in mild flaking. Unlike 

conventional peels the Estheti Centre 

peels will cause no burning or 

discomfort to the client as these 

peels have been specially 

formulated for Asian skin 

types. All types of body 

discolouration such as 

spotty backs, dark elbows 

and knees, dark inner 

thighs, stretch marks etc. 

can just as effectively be 

treated in using the same 

method.

STORY BOOK 

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY 

K a n d y 

155

A wedding would be incomplete without 

the soft textures and defining colours of 

flowers, as flower décor set around the 

venue helps brighten up the occasion. 

Choosing the right floral colour to suit the 

wedding theme, ordering flowers on 

time, setting the décor and hoping all 

goes well with your fingers crossed, 

leaves many a couple, family and 

wedding planner stressed. In choosing 

flowers why not go for artificial flowers? 

The number of couples choosing artificial 

flowers for their special day in Sri Lanka 

is on the increase. With the help of 

modern technology and artistic capability, 

artificial flowers can be made to look 

very realistic, no one can really tell the 

difference! 

There are many 

reasons to choose 

artificial flowers for 

your wedding day: 

Long Lasting: 

Artificial flowers last long, way past your 

wedding day. You can keep them as 

cherished décor in your own home, as a 

token of remembrance of your wedding. 

Match your Theme: 

Artificial flowers come in many colours 

and shapes, so it is much easier for you to 

match your flowers to your wedding 

theme! 

No Spoilage: 

They need little attention before and 

during the wedding. They won’t wilt as 

humidity and temperature is of no bother 

to these hardy yet gorgeous creations. 

Affordable: 

Weddings are expensive events 

and lifting the weight on your 

pocket is surely welcomed. 

Artificial flowers are very 

affordable, leaving you the 

chance to spend on your 

bridal, honeymoon or 

wedding venue. 

Heirloom: 

Consider your artificial flower 

bouquet to be a valued heirloom in the 

family! Your daughter, as she walks down 

the aisle with her groom one day, would 

be honoured to hold the beautiful 

bouquet which you held at your own 

wedding. 

Anywhere and Anytime: 

It is easy to transport artificial flowers, 

as they do not wrinkle or get crushed 

easily. They would not leave stains on 

your pristine bridal and they are 

available all year round! 

Interested? 

Get the best from the best - Azad 

Brothers, who are renowned for year 

round stock of imported, international 

standard and high quality artificial

Guest’s Meal 

– things to consider when choosing hotel or caterer 

You would want your guests at 

your wedding to enjoy their 

meal, therefore choosing the 

venue and caterer is an important 

part in your wedding planning 

schedule. If your ceremony 

is held at a hotel, the hotel 

would be providing you with 

catering services. Hotels would 

have several different menus, 

and as they would handle the 

preparation and serving of 

meal, it would be convenient for 

you. 

If the function is at your 

residence or a hall where catering 

is not provided, you can opt 

for a good caterer. Remember 

having a good meal at a wedding, 

event or party that you’ve 

been to? You could ring up the 

hosts and inquire about the 

catering service they had hired. 

Here are a few things Bride and 

Groom recommends that you 

note down, in planning catering 

for your wedding: 

Bride and Groom interviewed Shahan 

Amath, Banquet Coordinating Executive 

at Hilton Colombo Residence on catering 

at a hotel. He said, 'a hotel would normally 

have 3 types of menus ranging from different 

prices. However, a hotel could tailor make 

a menu according to what the couple requires 

and the budget they have set. At Hilton 

Colombo Residencies, our Asian Fantasy 

Buffet is the most sought after meal for 

weddings, but it all depends on what type of 

a menu they are looking for. Our specialty is 

in organizing the best and unforgettable 

wedding experience, according to the 

customer's requirements". 

Bride and Groom magazine also asked him 

about the quality of food and on having 

snacks at a wedding, to this he said, "quality 

is the most important element of food preparation, 

if the hotel does not provide good 

quality food and the service a wedding will 

never be a success. Considering snacks, I do 

not recommend snacks for a wedding 

because the quality of the event will fade 

away. I advice a couple wishing to get 

married in choosing guests' meals, always 

choose a menu depending on the preferred 

taste of guests you are inviting, never choose 

a menu that suits only your taste buds, 

because the guests might not like it, after all 

it is all about how you impress the guest". 

Type Of Dinner 

Setting 

Some caterers and hotels specialize 

only in buffets. So, depending on 

whether you prefer a buffet (gives 

more food choices for guests, 

162

The Cost 

The cost for catering should be included in 

your wedding budget. If the venue is not 

providing catering service, and you are 

choosing a caterer, it is imperative you 

consider the cost. Ask the caterers how much 

should be paid in advance and get a 

printed/written quotation for your choice in 

menu. Make sure agreements on any changes 

if needed, are mentioned in black and white 

in paper. A hotel may have several different 

menus to suit different budgets. Consider your 

overall budget for the wedding in choosing 

the menu. 

SOHAN 

& 

THE X’PERIMENTS 

For weddings parties and other functions 

CONTACT THE PROFESSIONALS 

The Alcohol 

What you need to check first is the 

location/venue policy on alcohol at 

weddings. Some may allow consumption of 

alcohol, some may not. Caterers may include 

supply of alcohol in their services or may not. 

If they do, check if service charges are 

included. But it may prove to be easy if you 

are organizing the alcohol. If you would 

prefer to have alcohol at your wedding, 

consider the expense. And would you like to 

get it yourself? If you do, will the caterer 

agree to serve it for you? If the hotel is 

providing the alcohol, what happens to 

bottles not consumed?

Honeymoon Paradise Sri Lanka 

‘Why honeymoon in Sri Lanka when 

you are from Sri Lanka’ you may ask. 

Bride and Groom asks you, have you 

actually stepped out 

there and explored 

the country? Have 

you experienced the 

sands of the golden 

beaches between 

your toes, watched 

the amazing sunsets, 

enjoyed the cooling 

sea breeze…. with 

the one you love 

next to you, as your 

other half? You may 

see these natural things differently 

when with him or her. A romantic 

perspective shall we say? 

If you hit the hill country for your 

honeymoon, it’s a good excuse to get 

that big warm hug, often. It can be 

cold at times!! The pleasant clean 

and fresh air and the morning 

scenery in the hill country can be 

beautiful. Get away from the city or 

town where you are from and go 

somewhere, where no one knows you. 

You could discover places, just the 

two of you. Visit ancient ruins, walk 

by villages, enjoy king coconut and 

spend time alone. 

And goes without saying, it will be 

affordable. No airfares, no hassle in 

looking for unknown hotels, no hassle 

in finding transport or spending time 

getting used to a new place. You can 

discover wonders in your own 

country!!! 

On asked about the demand and 

locations to honeymoon in Sri Lanka, 

Garwin Murray , Assistant Manager, 

Aitken Spence Inbound Travels said, 

“If you are looking for a romantic 

getaway the hill country would be 

great. You can see a peaceful and 

colourful combination of different 

cultures in the hill country, observe the 

beauty of nature, go on 

excursions just the two of 

you or just make it romantic 

private getaway. Both Sri 

Lankans and Foreigners 

choose the hill country for 

honeymooning, as it is 

located centrally, from 

there you can visit any 

other area of Sri Lanka 

while on your honeymoon.” 

He further added, “If you 

are visiting the beach resorts in the 

South and South West of Sri Lanka for 

your honeymoon, best go between the 

1st of November and 30th of April as 

you can avoid the Monsoons. Meanwhile, 

the East coast is developing as a 

tourist area and will be a honeymoon 

hotspot in the years to come.” 

Visit Maldives 

Sit on the deck, hand in hand under the 

refreshing shade of the palm trees or 

take a walk along the white sandy 

beach touching the turquoise blue 

ocean. Let go and relax with your loved 

one on the beach listening to the sound 

of the warm tropical warms lapping, 

and the soft breeze touching your face. 

With over 1200 islands, of which only 

200 of them inhabited, the Maldives 

thrives on tourism, with many island 

hotels dotted across. With beautiful 

tropical scenery and marine life, it is an 

ideal romantic holiday location. 

Bride and Groom highly recommends 

Maldives as an overseas honeymooning 

destination for Sri Lankans. If you want 

to get away, to a new place; to explore 

and relax in private, just the two of you, 

hop over to the Maldives. With affordable 

flights, fast travel time of just 1 

hour 30 mins, and not needing to pack 

winter clothing – it’s the most convenient 

overseas trip to make! 

It’s your honeymoon, so you can rest, 

relax and take it easy. But, while 

there, if you want to do some activities 

together, you can snorkel in the 

shallow lagoons and see colourful 

tropical fish and live corals. Do some 

water sports, cruise on a ship or go 

island hopping through organized tour 

packages either on water or by air. 

But do note, these water sport activities 

would need a considerable 

budget. 

Bride and Groom asked Chandima 

Tissaaratchy, Supervisor, 

Aitken Spence Overseas 

Travels, why Maldives is a 

good place to honeymoon 

at. She explained, " The 

blue waters is a key attraction 

and the views of white 

sands and beautiful sunsets 

make Maldives a great honeymooning 

location. You can try many water 

and resort related activities while you 

are there. A trip to the Raa atoll to see 

how dhoni's (traditional boats) have 

been built, is an experience itself." 

Talking on accommodation she said, " 

You can stay at luxury or discounted 

hotels in the Maldives. Aitken Spence 

owns 06 resorts in the Maldives and 

offers a very special package for 

your memorable stay as it is hassle 

free in arranging you trip. No visas 

are required for Sri Lankans, with 

flight connections daily. Maldives is an 

amazing place to visit for a honeymoon."

Preserving your bridal bouquet: 

a keepsake for lifetime. 

You’ve planned your wedding 

for many months, 

chosen your 

invites, cake and 

bouquet. Your 

wedding day 

comes and it’s 

simply perfect, 

and you’ve tied 

the knot with the one that you 

love. But would you not like to 

have that perfect keepsake of 

that lovely day, the day that you 

would cherish in your memories 

for the rest of your life? 

Why not preserve your beautiful 

bridal bouquet in all its glory, so 

you can have a real memento 

right before you? A memento 

which your children and grandchildren 

can adore and 

treasure. 

You can now preserve this 

special part of your wedding 

for your lifetime. Bridal 

bouquets can be freeze dried, 

maintaining shape. You can 

keep it as a décor in your 

living room. 

What You Should Do 

Check out the possibility of 

preserving your bouquet as 

soon as you choose it at your 

florist, with the preservation 

company, and discuss the 

pricing as well as choice of its 

190 

presentation, if any. 

Soon after the wedding cover 

and place in fridge over night. 

The freshest flowers 

preserve the best, so 

transport the bouquet 

(preferably in a cooler, 

or container that would 

keep its shape) to the 

p r e s e r v i n g 

florist/company as soon 

as possible. 

Flower Types 

The choice of flowers - Roses, 

Tube Roses, Madona 

& Tiger 

Lilies, Gardenias, Dendrobium, 

Cattleya Orchids, Phalaenopsis 

orchids, Cymbidium Orchids, 

Vanda Orchids, Frangipani, 

Stephanotis 

are 

good choices for 

bouquets if you 

are planning on 

preserving. 

But small petal 

flowers as 

Dahlias, 

Gerberas, 

Chrysanthemums, 

Freesia, 

Lilac, 

Sunflowers , Tulips, Jasmmins, 

Hydrangeas, lily of the Valley, 

and Arum Lilies would be a not 

be good choices. 

Expert Advice 

Bride and Groom Magazine 

asked Heshantha of Heshran, 

the leading bridal bouquet 

preservation company in Sri 

Lanka, for advice. 

He had this to say “We at 

Heshran do 3D preservations 

in box frames for our 

customers. Bridal Bouquet 

preservation process 

can take up to 3 months. 

The colour is preserved 

and sometimes colour 

may be added before 

preservation. As Sri Lanka is a 

tropical country, I advice you 

not to spray water on to the 

bouquet before you bring the 

bouquet to us. Once it’s 

preserved prevent dampness 

from affecting the bouquet and 

keep it away from direct 

sunlight, at all times”. 

So to preserve a bit of memory 

from your wedding, why not 

preserve your bouquet?
