Amazing Sarees

by Anusha

Hello everyone!

Its June and its the busiest time of the

month for us 'wedding people'. Likewise,

B&G has been hard at work putting

together a top-notch exhibition: the

"Bride and Groom Wedding Fair 2009".

Pramith and Rozanne have spent most or

all of their free time to ensure that everything

is absolutely perfect. The exhibition

also features fabulous fashion shows,

coupled with a bridal fashion designer

competition. It's a 'must-not-miss' exhibition!

A special mention should also go to

our sponsors: 2nd Chance Flowers,

Mal-Key Rent-A-Car, Sirasa TV, Channel

One MTV, Y FM, Sirasa FM, the Daily

Mirror, Sunday Times and Sirikatha.

Apart from that, this issue is packed with

thirty amazing real weddings, lots of

great ideas, interviews, photo galleries

and much, much more. We're also very

interested to know what you'd like to see

featured in the Bride and Groom

Wedding Magazine. Drop us an email at

Location: Cinnamon Grand

Photographed by: Ravi De Silva

Flower Decor: Wed in Style

Hair and Makeup: Berni Balasooriya

Theme:Dull Gold and Bronze/

Burgundy and Maroon

Funnies: The couple almost

missed the poruwa ceremony

because they were in two different

rooms and couldn’t becontacted.

Amidst all this, the

groom’s car and driver was

missing as well. Things turned out

fine in the end, as the missing

groom did make an appearance,

just in time for the poruwa

ceremony and all was well.

To do’s: Try to use to video

cameras so that you are assured

of better footage

Hand out a programme guide to

the band / DJ and your wedding

team

Assign a responsible person to

overlook all proceedings

Always, always have a check list

in place prior to the wedding

Unforgettable: She says: “The first

dance was unforgettable because it

was the couple’s actual first dance

even though they’ve known each

other over a couple of years. It was

magical.”
