Dear Brides and Grooms-to-be,

Times have been very challenging, haven’t they? You must’ve had to postpone or cancel your wedding multiple times by now and I understand that this is very frustrating and inconvenient. As much as it pains to postpone or cancel the most important day of your life that you’ve been planning for years or months, you must be grateful that you still have each other through it all.

And if you are to look at the bright side of things – you can use this time to re-plan your wedding! Yes, go through each and every element of your wedding to see if you really need them, what can be changed, what can be done better and incorporate the details that will add more value and grandeur to your Big Day.

Sri Lanka's premier bridal and wedding magazine

In these uncertain times, I whole-heartedly sympathize with you all who had to postpone or cancel your wedding plans altogether. I can understand how heartbreaking the decision must’ve been and frustrating it is to not know when you can see a possibilty either. The novel coronavirus pandemic has so far killed over 180,000 people and infected over 2.5 million people globally.  It shattered the Sri Lankan wedding industry completely, leaving all suppliers and vendors helpless. With the government and health offcials encouraging social distancing and restricting gatherings, weddings scheduled for the coming months have all become crises to manage, rather than reasons to celebrate.

It is with greatest joy I write this issue’s Editor’s Note My journey as the founder of Brides Of Sri Lanka and leading up to the 50th issue as editor, has definitely been an exhilarating one! Trials and tribulations were a many, but the joy of helping many brides and grooms plan the most memorable day of life has been more rewarding.

We have set fashion trends for brides and grooms to follow with the help of our renowned local designers ensuring our brides and grooms will look their absolute best according to the season and time. And we will strive to publish each coming issue with greater visual appeal and inspirational content.

This issue of your favorite wedding magazine, Brides Of Sri Lanka comes with loads of wedding inspiration and novel ideas for you. It is our greatest joy to help you plan an outstanding and most importantly, a memorable wedding. In hope of that, our team has worked tirelessly to put together Issue 49 for our ardent readers. There’s a good chance you are going to be overwhelmed by all the ideas, images and advice, and may sometimes feel lost with the amount of choices thrown at you - but the best way to make a  decision is to stick to your identity. Your wedding must reflect who you are and not someone else’s opinion or decision.
