How it works
Four unhurried steps from the first cup of tea in our Kandy studio to the last photograph of your homecoming.
Step 01
An hour with your stylist. Bring your saree, your Pinterest board and your mother.
Step 02
Full makeup and drape, photographed under daylight and hall light so there are no surprises.
Step 03
We arrive three hours early with the full kit, and stay through the Poruwa for touch-ups.
Step 04
A second, softer look at your home the next day - usually the photos everybody frames.
Portfolio
A small selection from the 2025–2026 season. Full galleries are on our Facebook page.
Why Amara
One bride per day. We never double-book a Poya weekend, and we have never missed a ceremony in 17 years.
Kandyan, Low-country, Hindu and Church - our seniors trained under studio elders in each style.
MAC, Huda, Bobbi Brown and Kryolan HD. Sanitised brush sets opened fresh for every bride.
Travel within Kandy is included. Nuwara Eliya, Matale and Kegalle at a flat Rs. 12,000.
Kind words
My Poruwa was at 9.15am so the team was at our Peradeniya house by 5. The osariya pinning held through the whole day and the evening reception - not one pleat moved. My mother still talks about it.
Two looks in one day, Muhurtham at dawn and reception at seven, and both were flawless. The temple jewellery setting was exactly like the reference photo I sent on WhatsApp. Worth every rupee.
I have oily skin and I was terrified of the Kandy heat. The airbrush base survived the church, the photo session at the lake and dancing until midnight. Zero touch-ups needed after 4pm.
