As December approaches, many couples desire to tie the knot and open a new year in style. Destiny’s Bridal in Kireka offers fantastic bridal services that serve the needs of brides and their entourages. We visited their head office and found a range of items that brides, their matrons, their maids and their flower girls can use on their special days.
The company owner chose the name Destiny’s bridals because of many reasons. First it means that their bridal service helps customers to prepare for their future (destiny) of marriage. It also means that the best products is what the customers are destined to have.

Martha Anyait the proprietor of Destiny’s Bridal, who lives in the middle east gave us some insight into how and why she formed the shop.
“What inspired me to open up a bridal shop I used to handle events like weddings during my previous job and whenever I saw a couple walking towards the hightable I used to look at how beautiful the bride was in a wedding dress while attending to them. And this happened almost every weekend so I promised myself that in future when I get enough capital I want to make people look stunning so I focused on bridal wear,” Anyait said.

She also revealed their vision as follows; “We are looking to succeed by turning a small startup into a large-scale business with many branches in the country and therefore committed to be creative in order to meet the needs of our customers. Our mission is trust, honesty and a lasting relationship with both our clients and the community.”

In their work, Destiny’s Bridal dress brides and the female entourage of the bride. But they do not stop at that, they can offer decorations, salon and other things needed at events such as ushering.
As a bonus for their service, Destiny’s Bridal gives changing dresses for flower girls and jewelry.
When asked about what makes them different from other service providers, in what they offer, Cissy the manager Destiny’s Bridal says,they have very flexible prices. “Our prices fit in everyone’s pockets. We can offer a gown at a very affordable price or at a high end, depending on what you want,” she adds.
We also make dresses. Although we import some, making dresses assists us to get exactly what someone needs in terms of shape and size. Our customer service is great because we listen and act on what you desire. As we normally say “we want you to say yes to the dress,” she further explained.
For many brides, that day is the most special of their lives. At Destiny’s Bridal. They make your day special by advising you on the little things that add up to change the day. Sometimes it is the jewelry, other times it is the make up, at times it is the colors and so on. “If we see that the gown you have is not fancy, we advise you to complement it with different other things.If it is embroidered, we then advise you not to do much of jewelry and other fancy things.”
At Destiny’s Bridal, they also suggest to those going to get married, to make sure that they do good planning and do not rush at last minute. Plan ahead. If you are going to wed in December, start planning at least in April.
One of the things that makes Destiny’s Bridal loved is that they can dress brides wherever they are, at their functions or in any part of the country. “If we come to an understanding, we can come and dress you right where you are,” says their manager.
The quality of material of the gowns at Destiny’s Bridal is also very good. Angela, one of their recent customers says their clothes are good. “My gown did not get torn, the changing dress was lovely.Everything was on point,” she says.
Destiny’s Bridal sells or hires gowns depending on the needs of their customers. When they hire gowns, they work with the stylist of the client who has hired the gown to try and change it in a way where it is only unique to the person who is wearing it.
Because they have many gowns for hire, the company says even at last minute someone can come and get a gown. However, they do not recommend it because it will be difficult for the bride to become organized on her special day.
At Destiny’s Bridal, they have different sizes of gowns. Those who are fat and those who are thin can use their gowns very well. The gowns come in two colors, white and off-white (cream).
For those who want their gowns to be sown, it takes 2 to 3 weeks of sowing a gown without many stones, while to sown a gown with many stones can take a month. This means that brides should be ready for this in advance.
We asked the manager of Destiny’s Bridals what advice she could give her customers so that they last in their marriage. She said “people should take it that marriage is not a cliché. Do not just get into it because another person has done it. Secondly do not enter it with two hears. Enter it with one heart. That can help you to succeed.There you will say-no matter what, I will be in the marriage. Things of marriage are not a walk over. Fight to work things out.Sickness and poverty come in different forms in marriage.”
In their message to their clients, Cissy the manager of Destiny’s Bridal says “customers should come expecting a very good service from us. We do not have bureaucracies. Our gowns are good, the pricing is good.”
In her message to their customers Martha Anyait the proprietor says “To all our customers,We put ‘extra’ in extraordinary by setting up a different level of quality service standards by creating unique memories on your wedding day without affecting your budget.
