Please describe your wedding collection.
It is a blend of modern and traditional for elegant, romantic bride who loves an updated traditional look. For example, I have a kebaya top matched with a Western-style dress, or we could substitute the selendang with a veil. Culture and tradition play prominent roles in Malaysian weddings, regardless of ethnicity or religion. In Malay weddings, no matter how modern the couple or the style of the wedding, there will always be some kind of traditional element, whether in the dress, the pelamin, the food, the décor.
As a prominent designer whose creations are much sought after for weddings, how would you like to see your clients and their guests dressed for a grand weddings?
I attend many weddings each month, and it is always fun to see weddings that have a concept, and are more dramatic and adventurous in terms of colour and décor. With some creativity, this would be a sure-fire way of making a wedding truly unique and memorable not just for the bride and the groom, but also their guests. In turn, everyone at the wedding should be dressed like it was the event of the year! On the wedding invitation, the couple could request their guests to wear something that complements the style and colour theme of the wedding.
