Just Say "I Do"...

Hello Everybody!

Let me introduce myself, I'm Hafeez Jefri from Curtin Singapore, I am currently interning with a bridal boutique here in Singapore. BONITO by Bob is among one of the leading bridal boutiques in the local Malay community. The creative director, Mr. Ahmad Mubarak (Bob Mubarak) is a friend of mine, we were introduced back in 2010. Bob Mubarak did an amazing job for my sister's engagement party(a pre-wedding celebration to introduce the couple to both families).

Basically I "proposed" and he said "I Do" when I applied to intern with his bridal boutique. BONITO by Bob is armed with seven years of experience in the bridal industry. Bob Mubarak extends the most immaculate services to his clients. He is excellent in providing bridal gift trays, bridal decor and a professional makeup artist. The Bonito team consists of a three man team with him as the creative designer. 

Why did I choose to intern with a bridal boutique instead of a public relations agency? As we all know, Public Relations, is about building relationships between an organization/company and its stakeholders. I strongly believe that relationship relates well with the bridal industry. Some of us can relate as we have been involved in a way or another with someone's wedding, family or friend. We are so "connected" or "mesmerized" by a certain wedding service provider that we recommend them to our soon-to-be bride/groom. Currently, Bob Mubarak and myself, are discussing the necessary PR related work that he expects from me as an intern. Besides doing public relations, I am elated that Bob Mubarak allows me to be part of his creative team by assisting in decor. This is an amazing experience for myself as someone who is intrigued by arts and crafts. I would share pictures of the work I will be doing for Bonito in my later posts but before that I will share a recent work of Bonito by Bob.

Customary for the Malays to decorate the bridal room and decorate the bridal gift trays that are exchanged between the bride and groom (items exchanged are usually daily necessities but now luxury items such as wallets or Gucci handbags are often seen)

Till next time......

Lots of Love (LOL)
