Nearly 80% of Lankan grooms are last-minute shoppers:Hameedia

Nearly 80 % of Sri Lankan males preparing for marriage wait until the last minute to select their wedding kit, according to recent research.

“They are the last minute shoppers while only 20% spent time planning. This has to be avoided at all costs considering the fact that the months of planning go into the bride’s outfit and that of her retinue,” says Fouzul Hameed, iconic Managing Director of menswear specialist Hameedia, which this week launched its 2011 Wedding Collection inspired by the recent British Royal Wedding.

In a statement, the company said the complete wedding collection from Hameedia has been custom made to ensure that one compliments one’s bride adding that whether ready-made or tailor made attire, Hameedia uses the best of the fabrics and accessories used by the best of the brands around the world.

He said the ideal situation is that the groom should also plan and prepare in advance. If the bridegroom does not plan well in advance and in harmony with the bride, they will both look contrasting figures on the greatest day of their lives.

“Due to lack of preparation, many grooms tend to settle for something which, although available, may not necessarily suit them. Since your wedding day is the most important day in your life and one you would want to remember forever, you should make every effort to ensure that you look your best”, he added.
