It took 2 appointments to land on what dress I wanted. I was looking for something modern, but with a bit of an edge. Since we were getting married in Fiji, I wanted something that was comfortable, that I didn’t need to re-adjust all the time, and that didn’t make me feel too hot and melt.

Saina was the biggest help in helping me find the dress. The task was pretty tough because I had no idea on the shape or fabric that I wanted lol so she just started bringing dresses out that she thought I’d look good in. Every time she bought a dress out, she’d listen to what I was saying – what I liked and didn’t, and then bring out a new and improved dress for me to try. This was the biggest help!

When I put on the Amina, I fell in love with the shape. It made me feel like a real bride! I loved the exposed boning, the draped front and the split (to help keep me cool – and the split held solid for the whole night too!). And then once I found out I could order it in Mikado, it was all over hahaha. I ordered it that same day because I knew it was the one! It was perfect too as it allowed me to have 2 looks, one with the overskirt and veil, and another without the overskirt and with the scarf.

Also side note, everyone loved the Mikado fabric and kept asking to feel it lol.”
