A day as a Bridesmaid | The Cosry's Bridesmaid

"The bridesmaids are members of the bride's party in a wedding. A bridesmaid is typically a young woman, and often a close friend or sister. She attends to the bride on the day of a wedding or marriage ceremony. Traditionally, bridesmaids were chosen from unwed young women of marriageable age."

I never imagined I would be a bridesmaid thus it was truly an unforgettable, bizzare experience when I was opted to be one recently. Intially it was for a pre-wedding photoshoot for one of our dear friend but then things didn't turn out exactly as per planned. We have to abruptly moving forward with a post-wedding photoshoot instead.

The post-wedding photoshoot was to celebrate top blogger Bro Framestone and Iera Kan's Wedding Anniversary. It was held at various locations at Perdana Botanical Garden which formerly known as Taman Tasik Perdana KL and shot by Memorable Photography Services.

Post-Wedding photoshoot for Bro Framestone and Iera Kan's Wedding Anniversary

Navigating a bridesmaid dress can be daunting especially if it's your first time. Luckily one of my blogger friend cum bridesmaid have an acquaintance in this field and it really made this a total breeze for us.

Our bridesmaids dresses were sponsored by one of the renowned designer, The Cosry. They were kind enough to lend us a cobalt blue taffeta dress, with the same color a-line strapless sash that compliment the dress very well. Eventhough it might be a simple structured dress but it was definitely flattering and made us looked elegance and stunning. The bold and brighter hue did justice with our skin tones and didn't wash out anyone. It also went well with the outdoor venue that was opted for the photoshoot.

The Cosry's fabric really makes one who's wearing it feel comfortable and breathable. I love how the dress not only effortless but can be worn year-round as well. While it might looked perfect as a bridesmaid dress, you could still wear it to a black-tie or formal events. Bottomline, whatever you put closest to your skin, you should feel great. And yeah I did, feel great.

Thus if you are looking for a bridesmaid dress or even a bridal gown, look no further than The Cosry. They are a high-end designer that have a wide range of styles, shapes and colors that might be right for you and would compliment you well. They even have dresses or gowns for a fraction of cost dependable of what kind of designs you are looking for.
