OFFICIAL MUL ANDUM
Sri Lanka’s leading menswear<br />
specialist Hameedia launched its<br />
‘<strong>Wedding</strong> Collection 2010’ at its<br />
state-<strong>of</strong>-the-art flagship store in<br />
Wellawatte, with its wide range <strong>of</strong><br />
wedding suits in a variety <strong>of</strong> colors<br />
and cuts. Complementing the<br />
collection was an interesting<br />
array <strong>of</strong> accessories such as<br />
shirts, ties, handkerchiefs, bow<br />
ties, and cufflinks etc. which are<br />
<strong>of</strong> international quality and<br />
class, and it caters to the global<br />
market as well.<br />
Says Fouzul Hameed <strong>of</strong><br />
Hameedia, “According to recent<br />
research that I did, nearly 80% <strong>of</strong><br />
Sri Lankan bridegrooms wait<br />
until the last moment to<br />
select their suit, while<br />
only 20% spend time<br />
planning. This has to be<br />
avoided, considering<br />
that months <strong>of</strong> planning<br />
go into the<br />
bride’s outfit and<br />
that <strong>of</strong> her<br />
retinue. Just like<br />
the bride, the<br />
groom himself<br />
should plan and prepare well in<br />
advance. If the bridegroom does<br />
not do so and is not in harmony with<br />
the bride’s attire, they will end up<br />
as contrasting figures on the greatest<br />
day <strong>of</strong> their life. Since your<br />
wedding day is the most important<br />
day in your life and the one you<br />
would want to remember<br />
forever, you should make every<br />
effort to ensure that you look<br />
your best”.<br />
FH further said that ‘The<br />
Groom’s Studio’ at the<br />
Hameedia Flagship Store at No<br />
34, Galle Road, Wellawatte is<br />
the first-<strong>of</strong>-its-kind in the region<br />
and caters to the minutest details<br />
<strong>of</strong> bridegrooms-to-be, literally<br />
from head to toe. On an<br />
appointment basis, a prospective<br />
bridegroom can avail<br />
himself <strong>of</strong> the specialized consultancy<br />
services <strong>of</strong> FH and his<br />
experienced Grooming Team at<br />
“The Groom’s Studio” with<br />
regard to every facet <strong>of</strong> a man’s<br />
grooming requirements. He will<br />
be advised on all his clothing<br />
needs. This also includes the<br />
groom’s entire retinue, to<br />
complete the total picture.<br />
Hameedia also launched its<br />
special ‘Groom’s Package 2010’<br />
with a personalized wedding<br />
consultation for prospective<br />
grooms, an interest free easy<br />
payment scheme facilities for<br />
HSBC Card Holders and a<br />
complimentary grooming for the<br />
Groom and Best Man with the<br />
Ramani Fernando Salons. Visit<br />

ARE YOU EMBARRASSED BY DARK UNDERARMS?<br />
Every girls’ dream is to have clear beautiful skin from head to toe and underarms<br />
are no exception. Dark and discoloured underarms can be terribly embarrassing<br />
but don’t despair help is just a “peel away”<br />
The Estheti Centre situated at 109<br />
Kynsey Rd has come up with a simple<br />
yet effective treatment to get rid <strong>of</strong><br />
dark underarms.<br />
Discoloured underarms can be<br />
caused by several factors,<br />
namely the following<br />
1) Constant shaving, waxing or hair<br />
removal creams<br />
2) Friction- also caused by weight gain<br />
3) Allergic reactions (may also be due<br />
to strong deodorants)<br />
If the darkness is due to the method <strong>of</strong><br />
hair removal your using you may need<br />
to discontinue it and switch to a less<br />
aggressive method. We recommend<br />
Permanent hair reduction using Intense<br />
Pulsed Light (IPL) to get rid <strong>of</strong> hair<br />
permanently and safely. What’s more it<br />
lightens the discoloration and leaves<br />
you with beautiful smooth skin as a<br />
positive FREE side effect!<br />
Another popular and quick method for<br />
treating dark underarms is by treating it<br />
with a course <strong>of</strong> peels. Skin peels<br />
containing fruit and milk acids (AHA’s)<br />
are used to gently peel away the discoloured<br />
skin in just 15 minutes. A course<br />
<strong>of</strong> 6 peels are required over a period<br />
<strong>of</strong> 6 weeks so make sure you book your<br />
34<br />
self in advance. The treatment<br />
involves applying a gel to the<br />
effected area which is then left on for<br />
10 min and washed <strong>of</strong>f. That’s it!<br />
Another method <strong>of</strong> peeling using fine<br />
crystals may also be used in combination<br />
with the above mentioned<br />
peels. This method <strong>of</strong> peeling gently<br />
polishes away layer upon layer <strong>of</strong><br />
dead dicoloured cells leaving behind<br />
smoother, fairer baby s<strong>of</strong>t skin!<br />
Most peels may not show visible signs<br />
<strong>of</strong> peeling, however for deep discoloration<br />
stronger peels may be used<br />
which will result in mild flaking. Unlike<br />
conventional peels the Estheti Centre<br />
peels will cause no burning or<br />
discomfort to the client as these<br />
peels have been specially<br />
formulated for Asian skin<br />
types. All types <strong>of</strong> body<br />
discolouration such as<br />
spotty backs, dark elbows<br />
and knees, dark inner<br />
thighs, stretch marks etc.<br />
can just as effectively be<br />
treated in using the same<br />
method.<br />

STORY BOOK<br />
WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY<br />
K a n d y<br />

A wedding would be incomplete without<br />
the s<strong>of</strong>t textures and defining colours <strong>of</strong><br />
flowers, as flower décor set around the<br />
venue helps brighten up the occasion.<br />
Choosing the right floral colour to suit the<br />
wedding theme, ordering flowers on<br />
time, setting the décor and hoping all<br />
goes well with your fingers crossed,<br />
leaves many a couple, family and<br />
wedding planner stressed. In choosing<br />
flowers why not go for artificial flowers?<br />
The number <strong>of</strong> couples choosing artificial<br />
flowers for their special day in Sri Lanka<br />
is on the increase. With the help <strong>of</strong><br />
modern technology and artistic capability,<br />
artificial flowers can be made to look<br />
very realistic, no one can really tell the<br />
difference!<br />
There are many<br />
reasons to choose<br />
artificial flowers for<br />
your wedding day:<br />
Long Lasting:<br />
Artificial flowers last long, way past your<br />
wedding day. You can keep them as<br />
cherished décor in your own home, as a<br />
token <strong>of</strong> remembrance <strong>of</strong> your wedding.<br />
Match your Theme:<br />
Artificial flowers come in many colours<br />
and shapes, so it is much easier for you to<br />
match your flowers to your wedding<br />
theme!<br />
No Spoilage:<br />

Guest’s Meal<br />
– things to consider when choosing hotel or caterer<br />
You would want your guests at<br />
your wedding to enjoy their<br />
meal, therefore choosing the<br />
venue and caterer is an important<br />
part in your wedding planning<br />
schedule. If your ceremony<br />
is held at a hotel, the hotel<br />
would be providing you with<br />
catering services. Hotels would<br />
have several different menus,<br />
and as they would handle the<br />
preparation and serving <strong>of</strong><br />
meal, it would be convenient for<br />
you.<br />
If the function is at your<br />
residence or a hall where catering<br />
is not provided, you can opt<br />
for a good caterer. Remember<br />
having a good meal at a wedding,<br />
event or party that you’ve<br />
been to? You could ring up the<br />
hosts and inquire about the<br />
catering service they had hired.<br />
Here are a few things Bride and<br />
Groom recommends that you<br />
note down, in planning catering<br />
for your wedding:<br />
Bride and Groom interviewed Shahan<br />
Amath, Banquet Coordinating Executive<br />
at Hilton Colombo Residence on catering<br />
at a hotel. He said, 'a hotel would normally<br />
have 3 types <strong>of</strong> menus ranging from different<br />
prices. However, a hotel could tailor make<br />
a menu according to what the couple requires<br />
and the budget they have set. At Hilton<br />
Colombo Residencies, our Asian Fantasy<br />
Buffet is the most sought after meal for<br />
weddings, but it all depends on what type <strong>of</strong><br />
a menu they are looking for. Our specialty is<br />
in organizing the best and unforgettable<br />
wedding experience, according to the<br />
customer's requirements".<br />
Bride and Groom magazine also asked him<br />
about the quality <strong>of</strong> food and on having<br />
snacks at a wedding, to this he said, "quality<br />
is the most important element <strong>of</strong> food preparation,<br />
if the hotel does not provide good<br />
quality food and the service a wedding will<br />
never be a success. Considering snacks, I do<br />
not recommend snacks for a wedding<br />
because the quality <strong>of</strong> the event will fade<br />
away. I advice a couple wishing to get<br />
married in choosing guests' meals, always<br />
choose a menu depending on the preferred<br />
taste <strong>of</strong> guests you are inviting, never choose<br />
a menu that suits only your taste buds,<br />
because the guests might not like it, after all<br />
it is all about how you impress the guest".<br />
Type Of Dinner<br />
Setting<br />
Some caterers and hotels specialize<br />
only in buffets. So, depending on<br />
whether you prefer a buffet (gives<br />
more food choices for guests,<br />
162
The Cost<br />
The cost for catering should be included in<br />
your wedding budget. If the venue is not<br />
providing catering service, and you are<br />
choosing a caterer, it is imperative you<br />
consider the cost. Ask the caterers how much<br />
should be paid in advance and get a<br />
printed/written quotation for your choice in<br />
menu. Make sure agreements on any changes<br />
if needed, are mentioned in black and white<br />
in paper. A hotel may have several different<br />
menus to suit different budgets. Consider your<br />
overall budget for the wedding in choosing<br />
the menu.<br />

THE X’PERIMENTS<br />
For weddings parties and other functions<br />
CONTACT THE PROFESSIONALS<br />
The Alcohol<br />
What you need to check first is the<br />
location/venue policy on alcohol at<br />
weddings. Some may allow consumption <strong>of</strong><br />
alcohol, some may not. Caterers may include<br />
supply <strong>of</strong> alcohol in their services or may not.<br />
If they do, check if service charges are<br />
included. But it may prove to be easy if you<br />
are organizing the alcohol. If you would<br />
prefer to have alcohol at your wedding,<br />
consider the expense. And would you like to<br />
get it yourself? If you do, will the caterer<br />
agree to serve it for you? If the hotel is<br />
providing the alcohol, what happens to<br />
bottles not consumed?<br />

Honeymoon Paradise Sri Lanka<br />
‘Why honeymoon in Sri Lanka when<br />
you are from Sri Lanka’ you may ask.<br />
Bride and Groom asks you, have you<br />
actually stepped out<br />
there and explored<br />
the country? Have<br />
you experienced the<br />
sands <strong>of</strong> the golden<br />
beaches between<br />
your toes, watched<br />
the amazing sunsets,<br />
enjoyed the cooling<br />
sea breeze…. with<br />
the one you love<br />
next to you, as your<br />
other half? You may<br />
see these natural things differently<br />
when with him or her. A romantic<br />
perspective shall we say?<br />
If you hit the hill country for your<br />
honeymoon, it’s a good excuse to get<br />
that big warm hug, <strong>of</strong>ten. It can be<br />
cold at times!! The pleasant clean<br />
and fresh air and the morning<br />
scenery in the hill country can be<br />
beautiful. Get away from the city or<br />
town where you are from and go<br />
somewhere, where no one knows you.<br />
You could discover places, just the<br />
two <strong>of</strong> you. Visit ancient ruins, walk<br />
by villages, enjoy king coconut and<br />
spend time alone.<br />
And goes without saying, it will be<br />
affordable. No airfares, no hassle in<br />
looking for unknown hotels, no hassle<br />
in finding transport or spending time<br />
getting used to a new place. You can<br />
discover wonders in your own<br />
country!!!<br />
On asked about the demand and<br />
locations to honeymoon in Sri Lanka,<br />
Garwin Murray , Assistant Manager,<br />
Aitken Spence Inbound Travels said,<br />
“If you are looking for a romantic<br />
getaway the hill country would be<br />
great. You can see a peaceful and<br />
colourful combination <strong>of</strong> different<br />
cultures in the hill country, observe the<br />
beauty <strong>of</strong> nature, go on<br />
excursions just the two <strong>of</strong><br />
you or just make it romantic<br />
private getaway. Both Sri<br />
Lankans and Foreigners<br />
choose the hill country for<br />
honeymooning, as it is<br />
located centrally, from<br />
there you can visit any<br />
other area <strong>of</strong> Sri Lanka<br />
while on your honeymoon.”<br />
He further added, “If you<br />
are visiting the beach resorts in the<br />
South and South West <strong>of</strong> Sri Lanka for<br />
your honeymoon, best go between the<br />
1st <strong>of</strong> November and 30th <strong>of</strong> April as<br />
you can avoid the Monsoons. Meanwhile,<br />
the East coast is developing as a<br />
tourist area and will be a honeymoon<br />
hotspot in the years to come.”<br />
Visit Maldives<br />
Sit on the deck, hand in hand under the<br />
refreshing shade <strong>of</strong> the palm trees or<br />
take a walk along the white sandy<br />
beach touching the turquoise blue<br />
ocean. Let go and relax with your loved<br />
one on the beach listening to the sound<br />
<strong>of</strong> the warm tropical warms lapping,<br />
and the s<strong>of</strong>t breeze touching your face.<br />
With over 1200 islands, <strong>of</strong> which only<br />
200 <strong>of</strong> them inhabited, the Maldives<br />
thrives on tourism, with many island<br />
hotels dotted across. With beautiful<br />
tropical scenery and marine life, it is an<br />
ideal romantic holiday location.<br />
Bride and Groom highly recommends<br />
Maldives as an overseas honeymooning<br />
destination for Sri Lankans. If you want<br />
to get away, to a new place; to explore<br />
and relax in private, just the two <strong>of</strong> you,<br />
hop over to the Maldives. With affordable<br />
flights, fast travel time <strong>of</strong> just 1<br />
hour 30 mins, and not needing to pack<br />
winter clothing – it’s the most convenient<br />
overseas trip to make!<br />
It’s your honeymoon, so you can rest,<br />
relax and take it easy. But, while<br />
there, if you want to do some activities<br />
together, you can snorkel in the<br />
shallow lagoons and see colourful<br />
tropical fish and live corals. Do some<br />
water sports, cruise on a ship or go<br />
island hopping through organized tour<br />
packages either on water or by air.<br />
But do note, these water sport activities<br />
would need a considerable<br />
budget.<br />
Bride and Groom asked Chandima<br />
Tissaaratchy, Supervisor,<br />
Aitken Spence Overseas<br />
Travels, why Maldives is a<br />
good place to honeymoon<br />
at. She explained, " The<br />
blue waters is a key attraction<br />
and the views <strong>of</strong> white<br />
sands and beautiful sunsets<br />
make Maldives a great honeymooning<br />
location. You can try many water<br />
and resort related activities while you<br />
are there. A trip to the Raa atoll to see<br />
how dhoni's (traditional boats) have<br />
been built, is an experience itself."<br />
Talking on accommodation she said, "<br />
You can stay at luxury or discounted<br />
hotels in the Maldives. Aitken Spence<br />
owns 06 resorts in the Maldives and<br />
<strong>of</strong>fers a very special package for<br />
your memorable stay as it is hassle<br />
free in arranging you trip. No visas<br />
are required for Sri Lankans, with<br />
flight connections daily. Maldives is an<br />
amazing place to visit for a honeymoon."<br />

Preserving your bridal bouquet:<br />
a keepsake for lifetime.<br />
You’ve planned your wedding<br />
for many months,<br />
chosen your<br />
invites, cake and<br />
bouquet. Your<br />
wedding day<br />
comes and it’s<br />
simply perfect,<br />
and you’ve tied<br />
the knot with the one that you<br />
love. But would you not like to<br />
have that perfect keepsake <strong>of</strong><br />
that lovely day, the day that you<br />
would cherish in your memories<br />
for the rest <strong>of</strong> your life?<br />
Why not preserve your beautiful<br />
bridal bouquet in all its glory, so<br />
you can have a real memento<br />
right before you? A memento<br />
which your children and grandchildren<br />
can adore and<br />
treasure.<br />
You can now preserve this<br />
special part <strong>of</strong> your wedding<br />
for your lifetime. Bridal<br />
bouquets can be freeze dried,<br />
maintaining shape. You can<br />
keep it as a décor in your<br />
living room.<br />
What You Should Do<br />
Check out the possibility <strong>of</strong><br />
preserving your bouquet as<br />
soon as you choose it at your<br />
florist, with the preservation<br />
company, and discuss the<br />
pricing as well as choice <strong>of</strong> its<br />
190<br />
presentation, if any.<br />
Soon after the wedding cover<br />
and place in fridge over night.<br />
The freshest flowers<br />
preserve the best, so<br />
transport the bouquet<br />
(preferably in a cooler,<br />
or container that would<br />
keep its shape) to the<br />
p r e s e r v i n g<br />
florist/company as soon<br />
as possible.<br />
Flower Types<br />
The choice <strong>of</strong> flowers - Roses,<br />
Tube Roses, Madona<br />
& Tiger<br />
Lilies, Gardenias, Dendrobium,<br />
Cattleya Orchids, Phalaenopsis<br />
orchids, Cymbidium Orchids,<br />
Vanda Orchids, Frangipani,<br />
Stephanotis<br />
are<br />
good choices for<br />
bouquets if you<br />
are planning on<br />
preserving.<br />
But small petal<br />
flowers as<br />
Dahlias,<br />
Gerberas,<br />
Chrysanthemums,<br />
Freesia,<br />
Lilac,<br />
Sunflowers , Tulips, Jasmmins,<br />
Hydrangeas, lily <strong>of</strong> the Valley,<br />
and Arum Lilies would be a not<br />
be good choices.<br />
Expert Advice<br />
Bride and Groom <strong>Magazine</strong><br />
asked Heshantha <strong>of</strong> Heshran,<br />
the leading bridal bouquet<br />
preservation company in Sri<br />
Lanka, for advice.<br />
He had this to say “We at<br />
Heshran do 3D preservations<br />
in box frames for our<br />
customers. Bridal Bouquet<br />
preservation process<br />
can take up to 3 months.<br />
The colour is preserved<br />
and sometimes colour<br />
may be added before<br />
preservation. As Sri Lanka is a<br />
tropical country, I advice you<br />
not to spray water on to the<br />
bouquet before you bring the<br />
bouquet to us. Once it’s<br />
preserved prevent dampness<br />
from affecting the bouquet and<br />
keep it away from direct<br />
sunlight, at all times”.<br />
So to preserve a bit <strong>of</strong> memory<br />
from your wedding, why not<br />
preserve your bouquet?
