From all the vendors being from the cream of the wedding industry in Sri Lanka to the bride’s batik saree and the groom’s morning attire designed by two of Sri Lankas top local designers, Sri Lankan airlines to fly in 50 of their guests and the brides ring holding a Ceylon blue sapphire which was gifted by a top local jeweler- The bride and groom won a chance to experience a stunning destination wedding held in the eastern part of our country. Having to witness the love and admiration of two lovely individuals’ who ventured of having the chance to celebrate their love not only in ways they are familiar with but in a traditional way we all know so well that is new but was exciting for them. The bride first entered wearing a beautifully designed saree by one of Sri Lanka’s exclusive designers and so did the groom. Despite not knowing the cultures and norms of our country, the couple exceeded all expectations when they walked down the aisle for an elegant poruwa ceremony led by talented Kandyan dancers. With the ocean playing as their backdrop for the whole wedding, the bride and groom made sure every guest that flew into the country had a magical time. Every little detail put into their wedding was well thought out, designed, and coordinated by us. A touch of love was evident throughout the celebrations.
