Kandyan Bridal Dressing in Wariyapola
Full Kandyan preparation: osariya draping, traditional hair setting, jewellery placement and makeup for the poruwa ceremony.
A Kandyan bride carries a great deal on the day: the osariya, the jewellery, the hair, and hours of ceremony in front of everyone she knows. Our work is to make all of it sit properly and stay that way.
We start with a conversation about your saree, your jewellery and the photographs you have saved. On the day we drape, set the hair, place the jewellery and finish the makeup in an order that keeps you comfortable and unhurried.
What is included
- Consultation before the day
- Osariya draping
- Traditional hair setting
- Jewellery placement
- Makeup for the ceremony
- Touch-up kit to take with you
What it costs
Every wedding is quoted properly, in a conversation
The tradition, the number of functions, how many people need styling and how far we travel all change the figure. Rather than publish a price that will not fit your day, Dharani talks it through and gives you a clear quote.
