"Entering the Hudayya Bridal Emporium one is welcome with luxurious smells of Opulence, Lush Fabrics and Elegant Mannequins Lining the hallways. You immediately feel welcome and are transported back to the Emirates, with the plush carpeting and beautifully lined shimmering walls.
Huda, as she is fondly
called, leads me into her Bridal Consultation room, a plushly carpeted room
(shoes off please) where we plonk onto the floor, and talk about Everything!
–how she started sewing, why, and her hopes and aspirations. This room makes
you not want to leave and we stay there for hours!. A few brides to be join us,
she does their fitting, suggests jewellery, makeup, (Free consultation with me
there!) shoes and accessories to go with their dresses. An assistant brings in the various
items, BMPRO Makeup Artists bring in my kit and you can tell they are VERY
pleased to have completed their shopping in ONE spot.
That’s what Huda is known
for-Sorting people out.
Now known as THE NO 1 Bridal
Couture designer, she has a keen eye for detail and designing exquisite wedding
dresses and very beautiful
Occassional wear using Exclusive fabrics. She has also delved into
fabrics, importing directly from Turkey to create pieces inspired by the likes
of Elie Saab, Zuhair Murad, etc.
Her line of head coverings
and turbans are also favourites for the
stylish ones-and she easily shows me how to wrap one in her
messy-easy-look style.
I love Hudas energy and drive
and I can tell that for her, she is in a happy place especially when one of the
brides picks up her finished set of 6 dresses, gives her a loooong hug, takes a
selfie with me, and departs, promising to send photos after the ceremony is over…"
