Happy
Ever After: A Bridal Diary
Complete with hand-drawn illustrations, this diary offers a glimpse
of a young bride’s experience in her search for the perfect
wedding gown after accepting her sweetheart’s proposal. As she
embarks on the selection process for the right gown, she has to decide
which of the three silhouettes – the Classic, the Romantic and
the Dramatic, suit her. In order to have the perfect gown and wedding,
she approaches Sylvia Kho, Singapore’s first bridal gown designer
and entrepreneur. From the late 1940s to 1990s, Sylvia Kho helped
to dress many brides and later, also provided wedding packages (which
included the bridal gown, hairstyling and makeup services, and bridal
car decoration) to many couples in Singapore. This bridal diary thus
pays tribute to Sylvia Kho who also donated her bridal collection
that dates between the 1960s and the 1990s to the National Museum
of Singapore. |
