Month: July 2018

Has that feeling of “Engaged Bliss” begun to morph into the “Now what?!” phase?

If so, rest assured that this is totally normal. As the proposal pops up, most newly engaged brides feel that they have to jump into planning their entire wedding right away. The initial excitement of wearing a beautiful ring can turn into stressful to-do lists like booking the best banquet halls in South Mumbai or any other location, searching for the best designer etc. in order to put together a gorgeous wedding.

Whether you’ve been dreaming about your picture perfect wedding day since you were little, or couldn’t be bothered about trendy wedding decorations colour schemes and are just looking forward to marrying the person of your dreams…Wedding planning can be a daunting task! Especially if you’ve never been involved in any wedding planning before.

With a handy wedding planning checklist for your big day, you can make sure everything gets done with plenty of time to spare.

Six To Twelve Months before the Wedding

• Finalize the exact budget

How much to spend, where to spend, and when to spend are some of the questions that need your utmost attention in the initial phase of planning your wedding. Before you begin to tick off anything else off your wedding planning checklist, it’s important to close the budget!

So, break down the things you want to spend on, and things that would definitely require expenditure. Decide a ballpark figure for your wedding and select the essential expenses.

• Finalize Your Guest List

Before you start with the list, think of an approximate number of guests you would want to have at your wedding.  Categorise your list of office colleagues, close relatives and friends, mutual friends or acquaintances and neighbours. Make sure you include the names of the people in the final list whose absence on your wedding would definitely make a difference.

• Search and book the wedding venue

Getting the best venue these days is difficult since most of the wedding venues stay blocked for the month in advance, so make reservations in advance. Whilst keeping in mind the approximate number of guests attending the ceremony, consider the important factors such as location, ambience, space and the size of the venue. Check everything out at the venue inclusive of all the services provided by them with the cost involved so that there’s no glitch in planning.

• Get hold of a wedding planner

While most of us love planning our own wedding, some of us like to lie back and relax. In the latter case, it’s better to hire an experienced wedding planner who can do all the wedding planning, take care of the checklist for the wedding, and organize everything as per your convenience.

• Design your wedding invitation

It’s the best time to finalize the look and feel of your wedding invite as everything from the colour of your invitation card to its design and content matters. Make sure you’ve done enough research in the previous months so that you make the best decision at this time.

Book your makeup artist and your pre-bridal or groom package at the salon as this is really crucial. Remember, at this time, almost everyone might be getting married! If you’ve shortlisted a few good ones already, get their quotes, and book the best one as soon as you can.

• Book the Photographer and Videographer

Some of us still admire the traditional style of capturing memories even when candid photography has caught up the fancy of most people. Make sure that by now if you’ve taken a call if you want theme photography, candid, or the old-school style, then book the photographer and videographer as soon as possible.

• Finalize and book the entertainment bit

There is no wedding that is ever complete without good music and some entertainment. And there’s no better time than this to have a famous rock band at your wedding or any other artist whom you may want to invite. Get your hands down on the list and book one well in advance.

Take your time and then close on the final decision.

• Book Accommodation for your Guests

It’s time to book a good and comfortable accommodation for them. To assure your guests get the maximum comfort, find out good hotels and guest houses that provide friendly hospitality and amenities. It’s best to choose an accommodation which is in close proximity to the wedding venue to avoid any discomfort for the guests.

Since, you are going to be all under the tutelage of your wedding makeup brands, professionals, you need not worry about any makeup disasters. But, for your own knowledge, we are putting together some of the bridal makeup kit essentials that you cannot ignore at any cost.

• Moisturizer

Inside this makeup kit of the bride, this should make the first entry. You cannot let your skin looking dry and chapped. A good moisturizer is a lifeline in carrying out a perfect makeup afterwards.  Moisturizers are of various types ranging from dry to oily skin.

Just choose the one that is in accord with your skin type. It would be better if choose the one that you are using for a long time. You need not worry about any breakout. For a better nourishment and supple look, begin your makeup with a nice moisturizer.

• Eyeliner

Eyes are the most expressive elements in your face, so take some eye makeup tips to keep yourself up to date all the time. For sleek and smoky eyes, Eyeliners are a must. You may choose liquid eyeliner or a gel-based to have a clean stretch with no scribbles left.Though most brides prefer a liquid foundation, a matte finish is also popular among the oily skin girls. So, for an unblemished look, consult your makeup artist and go for it.

• Concealer

Now, this is the day saver. When you need to hide any last minute pimple, dark patch, under eye bags or to even out complexion, concealer will help you out from these situations. Though you go for an all-around skin care before your marriage, it might not be possible to get absolute results. So, concealer is here to give you just that perfect look. Several concealers are available and you need to choose the one that complements your skin tone.

• Lipstick

No makeup milestone could be achieved without applying the dear lipsticks. You should carry 5 lipstick shades that you prefer the most. In the shades of pink, red, maroon or nude, apply the correct one. Do not try to experiment with this. It would look odd and you might not be even comfortable in sporting the look.

• Primer

Most underrated of the makeup essentials, Primers are a wonderful substance in binding your makeup for a long time. While in your wedding or reception, you are definitely going to get exposed for a long time, and a light makeup without a binder would make it vanish in the harsh sun, humid air or cold weather.

So, primer helps with all these singlehandedly. Invest in a good primer and use it appropriately before donning your makeup.

• Kohl/Kajal

To bold out the eyes and highlight the shape, you need a kohl to do that for you. There are different shades of kohl that are available. From jet black to mesmerizing green or electric blue, you may pick out the one that goes well with attire.

• Compact Powder

The application of applying makeup ends up with the compact powder to give a dried up appearance rather than Oily one. It keeps the makeup on the place and does not initiate in sweating it out. It is essential for the ones with oily skin to remove that look of stickiness that comes after applying foundation and concealer. Just swipe the powder puff over your face and get a flawless skin in return.

• Foundation

Undoubtedly, this is an integral part of bridal makeup. Available for different skin complexions, from dusky to fair, pick the right one. Moreover, they are of a different variety as well.

Though most brides prefer a liquid foundation, a matte finish is also popular among the oily skin girls. So, for an unblemished look, consult your makeup artist and go for it.

• Blush

For the rosy cheeks of yours, you definitely need a blush inside your vanity bag. Buy a blush brush and apply the powder evenly on the apple of your cheeks. This will bring out some liveliness in your cheeks.

• Mascara

Well, the makeup over eyes is what beauty professionals put the pressure on. Get a bright-eyed look and pair it up with kohl and liner. If you have decided to go for a nude look, then applying mascara would give the rightful look that you are looking for.

• Eye Shadow Palette

While creating your makeup kit for the bride, do not forget to include the eyeshadow. You might not use it in your daily life or some normal functions, but when this is the matter of your wedding, eyeshadow is a must. Since the glitter is all around you, why leave it out of your eyes. With subtle pinks and golden, you should carefully pick the shade that goes well with your skin complexion as well as your dress.

• Makeup Brushes

A good collection of makeup product will get worthless if you don’t know how to apply it to your skin. Thus inside a makeup kit for the bride, you cannot leave these out.

It is generally a set of 12 with various brush size given inside the box. Just understand the use of each and every applicator to get a flawless look on your wedding day.

• Nail Paint

A complete bridal look comes equipped with nail paints. With such a variety available in the market, why devoid yourselves to the same boring pink. Pick out a bright shade. You may go for a nail art if you feel courageous enough.

Just because makeup is an essential part of your look, no need to overspend on it. Try out familiar products to avoid any last minute breakout to spoil the look. But, before buying out a new one, ask the store guy or the brand specialist to have a clearer idea of what product to use.

They are not always served to the guests present at the ceremony but is now more of a centrepiece to the wedding especially at wedding halls in Delhi like city, where guests are more into leaving early because of the traffic-related issues.  Some cakes are built with the only single edible tier for the bride and groom to share, while others are built in various layers.

Undoubtedly these days, the most fun part of the wedding planning is choosing an Indian wedding cake. But what’s “breathtaking” is your personal choice. Some couples opt not to have a cake (and substitute it with other desserts) while other couples opt for a grandeur style cake that gets the ooh’s and aahs.

Elaborated wedding cakes are becoming increasingly popular at most weddings these days. You can find beautifully decorated wedding cakes in every shape, colour and design you dream of, as cake-making is now an art.

Let us see some awesome varieties of Indian wedding cakes that you can adapt for your wedding.

• Brushstroke Cakes

One of the coolest 2018 wedding cake trends is brushstroke cakes. These art-inspired creations are also called Kalabasa feather cakes. The trend consists of melting chocolate on wax paper and using a paintbrush to create “feathers” that are placed on a cake once they get harden.

In Indian weddings, these are slowly occupying a prominent place by coordinating the colours on the cake with the attire of the bride and groom.

• Romantic Hand-Painted Wedding Cake with Watercolour Flowers

This romantic trend fits right in with spring wedding decor and garden wedding style or a beach wedding. Hand-painted floral details are one of the prettiest 2018 wedding cake trends, and this look is a new take on the watercolour wedding decoration trends that have been popular for the last few years. These days, red and gold colours are being prominently used for Indian wedding cakes within indoor set-ups as well.

• Gold Accents and Dark Red Colors

Is there anything more opulent than adorning your wedding cake with actual gold? Try and convince us otherwise. Gold leaf can be added to fondant or buttercream frosting for a gilded finish. As long as it’s at least 24 karats, you can even eat it, really! Breaking the gold leaf into pieces and scattering it around the cake is one option, or you can ask your baker to completely cover one or two tiers for a truly dazzling effect.

• Magnanimous Elephant

Elephants with their trunks intertwined to look like a heart which looks beautiful on the wedding cake. This cake will surely make the couple feel royal as elephants are a symbol of royalty in India. In royal weddings, the groom comes mounted on an elephant instead of a horse. What’s more? In many communities, the trumpet of an elephant is considered to be auspicious. To set the right mood for the big fat Indian wedding, all you need is an elephant-inspired design, really!

• Metallic Ombré

If you want to hop on the metallic cake trend without using gold leaf, this ombré design is a lovely alternative. Iridescent pigments are eye-catching when painted in abstract brushstrokes like this. Use pastel and neutral tones for an ethereal effect, or go with a bold colour scheme for something more glamorous.

• The bride and Groom Cake Toppers

An absolutely fabulous topper looking like the groom and bride in bridal finery is the best choice for Indian weddings. This is one of the most famous of all and looks absolutely gorgeous on the wedding cake. You can have cute poses replicated for this one, like the bride lifting the groom or the groom lifting the bride or both of them hugging each other, etc.

• Celestial wedding cake

From contemporary and celestial reception dresses to starry night reception decor, outer space was a major source of inspiration for wedding trends this year. In 2018, wedding cakes will continue the “out-of-this-world” trend. Expect to see blue, purple and metallic confections adorning the dessert tables everywhere. Blend blue, gold and purple petal dust onto white fondant to recreate this celestial look. Add gold leaf and greenery for a mythical effect.

• Crystal Toppers

These look sparkly and gorgeous on the wedding cake. Indians love their glimmer and shine which makes this the perfect cake topper for the Wedding Cake. Crystal toppers look elegant and add all the royal touch you need for your wedding or reception cake. White and silver crystal toppers are one of the most loved colours here.

• The Exotic Eternal Love

Some monuments only evoke love and then there is nothing left to be spoken. A wedding cake with the theme of Taj Mahal- the true epitome of love, or even Eiffel tower- where lovers become one, can surely make for a great wedding cake idea. What’s more? These cakes are also a great idea for globe-trotting couples, who love to visit the wonders of the world.

• Filmy Pose Cake Toppers

Filmy Pose toppers look quirky and perfect for Couples who love all things in Bollywood.  We must say, Bollywood just never goes out of fashion in Indian weddings. Inspiration from Bollywood always works.

These toppers are awesome and can be in different romantic poses, like the groom holding the bride in his arms etc.

• God Cake Toppers

Deities are held in high esteem in Indian culture, and what better way you want to celebrate your wedding day than to have a cake with an auspicious God adorning it? It is the best way to honour the Indian culture and tradition. You could have any God you believe in for this purpose, be it Ganesha or Goddess Lakshmi or any other God.

• Write It Out

Feeling romantic? Well, go all out and write your love out for each other on your wedding cake. Yes, you can add beautiful love quotes or get something interesting written on your cake. This would not only make your wedding cake unique and creative but also truly personalised. And, it would also lend a beautiful emotional touch to the celebration.

• Party with Peacock

Just like a peacock is known for its unparalleled beauty, so will be your wedding cake. Moreover, it’s the national bird of India. These days a lot of couples are going for peacock-themed wedding cakes. It not only looks beautiful but can charm anyone with its vibrancy. The colours and the design all make for an interesting theme. You can also choose a pair of peacocks as cake toppers for your Indian wedding cake. Also, there is a lot of scope for decoration with feathers. Well, peacocks look good with any background- white, golden or even blue. Surely, your guests will not forget your peacock inspired wedding cake.

• The Flower Power

As the saying goes, you can never go wrong with flowers. Flowers are an intricate part of every Indian wedding and are used for decorating the venue or beautifying a bride or simply welcoming the guests. You can keep flowers as a theme for your wedding cake. Whether you use a flower trail to decorate your cake or place bouquets of tulips or roses on each layer, it will look beautiful. Even a flower carving on the entire cake can look stunning.

• Go Out and Out Indian

If traditional is your theme, then there are so many options you can try, to make a perfect Indian cake. A wedding cake which looks like the Mehendi of a bride can also make a good theme. For a completely breathtaking look, even an ornamental cake with a design of bride’s saree flowing over it can be made. It will just be mind-blowing, take our words!

• A Gold Wedding Cake

This is another way to get heads turning. A bit of bling is what you need to add that oomph to a wedding. To make an event a lavish affair, in gaudy or more regal shades, all you need is a little gold.

Prepare your cake in contrast with a white-gold theme going with the rest of the theme of your wedding. Gold in any form just never goes out of fashion when it comes to Indian wedding cakes.

• Tell Your Story Cake

Art is a great way to express yourself. A tell-your-story cake is a great way to do that. You can do it simply in the form of tiered silhouettes, or you can go totally off the grid and have your cake tell your story like a comic book strip. Take your time with this one, you’ll want it to be unique.

The pleasure that sweets give us is considered divine, thus sweets are believed to be the food of the Gods. The good news of a wedding is always accompanied by a huge bite of something sweet to make it auspicious. Sweets, therefore, happen to be the most important part of the traditional Indian wedding after the bride and groom of course! And when that sweet something is a cake, it’s the perfect icing, right?

More than any other factor—your dress, your band, your food—your reception venue sets the tone for your wedding. It’s what your guests are going to be immersed in for the next four or five hours they’re celebrating with you and is also the first thing they see after their arrival.

Yes, it’s easy to pick the venue that’s prettiest when you first walk in, but that might wind up costing you a ton in the long run. Here are some wedding questions to ask, to ensure that you land at the best possible venue.

To get you started we’ve compiled a general list of wedding venue questions that cover all the various aspects. Before talking to any venue you’re interested in there are two primary questions you need to find out:

• Does the venue have enough seated capacity to accommodate your guest list?
• Is your date free?

Of course, there are a lot of big and small issues that need to be ironed out with your potential venue beyond those basic questions. These questions are designed to give you a broad overview of the kinds of things you should ask in order to minimise any surprises later down the line. You can simply skip over them when you’re chatting with the venue manager as some of these will apply to you; others may not.

• Food & Drinks

Start off with asking the venue people if they have an in-house caterer. If so, ask them if the wedding food menu and beverages are included in the venue rental fee. Ask them if you can hire your own caterer or if there is not an in-house caterer, do you have to choose from a list of approved options? Make a note of how much amount you will have to spend on the food and beverage at a minimum.

There will often be a food and beverage minimum that is required to meet as part of the contract. Almost every Venue for the wedding with in-house caterers will have that and it would be the minimum amount you ought to spend. Lastly, remember to inquire whether you can bring your own liquor or have to purchase from them? You may have to pay a service fee if you bring your own liquor so remember to be specific on that.

• Event Specifics

It should always begin with asking the venue’s capacity. To understand which decisions will help you maximize the space and your guest list, find out how many guests you can fit in the space with and without a dance floor. Also with a band vs. with a DJ (as a band will require more space), and with round vs. rectangular or square tables, how can you effectively use the venue space to make room enough for all the guests. Ask them if you can hire your own DJ in case the venue DJ is not suitable to your tastes? Be specific on the dimensions of the dance floor and how much that would cost. Will the sound equipment and speakers need to be rented? Or do they have their own sound equipment and speakers? Don’t forget to ask them of their backup plan for rain or inclement weather.

When it comes to the wedding decorator and caterer, do they let you hire your own wedding decorator and caterer? If yes, what restrictions will be imposed on them, in terms of space usage, storage and timings? Are there any décor restrictions and also when can vendors arrive for set-up? Lastly, ask them if their staff will be involved in setting up and breaking down the décor and in what capacity! There will usually be hotel staff available in order to help arrange and set the tables and pack up any rented glassware, flatware, and dishes at the end of the night if the venue selected is a hotel.

• Accommodation

These are an important set of questions – Is the bridal suite included in the price they are offering? Are rooms provided for the parents? Will there be discounted rates for guests at the wedding? What accommodation does the venue for wedding offer? Are there other hotels in the area for guests? Can they provide a list? Are there reliable taxi companies in the area? When is the checkout time? Can you block book rooms for guests? If so, how long can they be held for?

Ask all of these to be clear about their exact offerings and to avoid any discomfort later.

• Logistics

Logistics is important to plan a hassle-free movement. Here, ask the venue people if the site handicap is accessible and if there are any noise restrictions. Be clear to note it down if you need to rent additional portable restrooms? Also, how many bathrooms are there? When it comes to their parking space, is there enough parking available on-site? Ask them if your guests are charged for parking. Parking is included in the rental fee sometimes but some venues charge separately. Ask how much it would cost for you to pay for your guests’ parking for the evening if there is a fee at all.

• Mode of payment

Your entire conversation will conclude on this one and this is the most important part. Be very clear and specific here. Ask them how much deposit do you need to pay for booking? Can you make the payment in instalments? Do they prefer cheque or cash? Cheque payments are preferable since they avoid any element of fraud.

Ask them if the payment will include GST and service charges? Will there be additional costs? In case of any last moment glitch, what’s the cancellation policy? What’s the percentage of amount refundable? All these questions are an absolute must!

• Point of Contact

Find out who will be their point person as you plan your wedding? Who will be their point of contact on your wedding day? It’s always best if these two people are one and the same, but that’s not always the case. To ensure they have all the necessary details in order, make sure you get the contact information for whoever will be at the venue on your wedding day.

• Some Very Specific Questions

The last set of questions and all are highly important! Ask them specifically if there are any restrictions on the photographer? And if there are any additional costs-cleaning fees, insurance-fee waivers, etc.? Get it all in writing so there are no surprises. Always remember to ask them about how many weddings will be booked on your day? There should not be more than one event scheduled on your day if you’re booking a massive event space. Make sure that you’re getting the time you’ve been allotted and have paid for.

Make a note of the time you can get to the site for the set-up. Reception halls generally allow you ample time for this. But with some other kinds of venues, inquire early and often about how much time you have. Until the public hours of operation are over, they won’t permit a setup. You will face a severe time crunch, for instance, if a venue closes at 5 p.m. on a Saturday and your reception begins at 7 p.m. Lastly, ask them if a shuttle to and from the ceremony and reception be provided? To ensure that things run on time, make wedding-day transportation a no-brainer for your guests. Rent your own if the reception site does not make shuttles available.         

More Tips

• Make sure you get a proposal with all the pricing and policies—including the tax and service charge from the venue representative—so you have an idea of the basic cost if you really love the site.
• Use your cell phone (or a digital camera) to take photos or videos of the reception halls you visit, so that you have a record of what you liked or didn’t like about them.
• Pay attention to the venue as a whole: Check out everything, including the restrooms, the foyer, the dressing rooms, the outdoor lighting and other wedding decorations even the kitchen. You want to be sure; your vision can be realized at this location. To visit the venue when it’s set up for a wedding, get arrangements done with the site representative.

All the above questions are not just necessary but an absolute must if you want your wedding to happen without a glitch and leave no stone unturned to make it the best day of your life…Remember, there should be some key family members who are involved in the entire process and are overseeing all the details regarding the wedding – whether it’s planning, conceptualising or execution. Keep all your options open and book well in advance so that you can enjoy the pre-wedding days to the most and glow in the impending happiness you are about to encounter….!

Wondering what is it? It is the bridal attire. All eyes will be on the bride on her wedding day. She must look stunning and her wedding dress is crucial for the purpose. You can find beautiful wedding dresses online, or at a traditional store that you have known for years, or you could even go for designer wear if you want to splurge on the bride.

We will help you out with some tips to choose the perfect wedding dress for the Indian bride. So, here are the tips you could find useful while going to shop for a wedding dress for the bride to be.

• Choose it Yourself

The custom in many Indian weddings is, the bride’s close relatives gift her wedding dress. You don’t have to disregard the tradition. But you can always tell them what you want, or better still, go shopping with them. This is what most people do anyway. Earlier people used to ask the bride what colour she wants her wedding dress to be. But now, they want to make sure she loves the dress. They don’t want to take chances.

As a bride, you would want to make sure you like what you will wear to your wedding. Also, you should not put that much pressure on the people buying the dress. They will be anxious about your choice. So, go choose your own bridal lehenga, or saree, whatever you like. If your family believes in omens like the bride shouldn’t go buy her own wedding dress, we always have WhatsApp. But make sure you are the one choosing your dress, whether you are physically present or not.

• Type of Outfit

There are basically two types of traditional outfits for the Indian bride, the saree and the lehenga. But Indo Western bridal gowns, traditional Rajasthani or Kashmiri attire, these are options too. If you are going for a theme wedding where you are a Disney princess or a Rajasthani bride, you will need to dress accordingly. So, the lehenga and saree are not your only options.

• Colour

The colour of the wedding dress is crucial. You need to make sure it suits your skin tone. You need to make sure you are not buying similar colours for any of the wedding-related events. Each outfit must be of a unique colour combination.

You can go for the traditional colours like maroon, golden, red, and pink. You can go for the trending pastels. You can go for white with golden detail. Or you can go for statement lehenga colour combinations like brown with purple, or blue with yellow. These are just examples. You go for your favourite colour combination.

• Fabric

If it is a winter wedding, wear whatever fabric looks best. If it is a summer or monsoon wedding in India, you need to avoid velvet, thick silk, or anything too heavy.

Wing it with bright colours so that you can wear an outfit that is light on the weight.

• The Occasion

You need to dress according to the event. The saree is traditionally in a shade of yellow. Try going for a bright one. If you don’t want it to be monochromatic, orange is a good colour to go with yellow. The mehendi and sangeet night outfit needs to be any colour that complements your brown or orange mehendi. But do not go for the signature wedding day colours. Spare them for the wedding day. Wear something with a lot of poof so that you can get amazing sangeet night photographs when you twirl. The wedding day outfit can be the traditional reds or the modern pastels. The reception evening outfit needs to look totally different from the wedding dress. So, maybe go for a lehenga in pastel shades for the reception and a saree in traditional hues for the wedding.

• Design

A lot of embroidery, zari, or handmade motif prints makes a wedding dress look worthwhile. Your veil needs to be nicely adorned with sequins and little flowers if possible.

If you are wearing white or beige, the print can have bold colours on it. Rajasthani theme attire needs to have a lot of mirrors. You need to make sure the design is immaculately beautiful.

• Where to Buy it From

Go to the local shop you trust and love so dearly because they always know exactly what you are looking for. Or go for designer wear, a Manish Malhotra or Sabyasachi bridal wear collection maybe. Celebrity designers are making their collections available to the masses and the cost too is reasonable enough for a wedding dress. Buy them, or get them tailor made from the best professionals in town. Customise the design if you want. Go through the design catalogues to get an idea. Buy the blouse from someplace you can trust with the cut and the fit and your exact instructions. Buying a readymade lehenga for the wedding is convenient. So go to the best stores first. In case the readymade blouse won’t fit you perfectly, go for the best tailor in town.

• When to Buy

By now you must have noticed that there is a lot to be done. There are so many outfits to buy or choose if a family member or relative is gifting it to you. There are colour combinations to think about, design, fit, everything to be made perfect. So, you must start very early. Buying a wedding dress two months before the wedding is not an option. You must start at least six months in advance so that you can choose at leisure and buy all the dresses for every wedding-related event. You will have time to choose accessories like shoes, clutches, and some custom jewellery once you have bought the outfits. When you consult with your makeup artist and hairdresser, it will be good if you can show them the outfits for the occasion. So, if you want to look perfect for your wedding, start early.

• Altering Options

Make sure it is a perfect fit. Also, leave room for alterations. You are buying the dresses many months prior to when you will actually need them. Just in case you gain a little weight, there should be room for alteration. This won’t be possible if you are buying a designer wear. You will need to fit the outfit instead of the other way around. So, if you think you are ready for that kind of commitment, go for it. Else, buy it from a store that offers flawless altering services and make sure the fabric has room for alterations on the inside. Getting your outfit tailor-made helps the purpose. Try maintaining a steady weight until your wedding. After the big event is over, lose weight, gain weight, do, what you want.

These tips will help you avoid making rookie mistakes that can ruin the wedding look for many brides. But you know better, at least now. So, go out there and choose your own wedding dress, reception dress, haldi, and sangeet outfits. Don’t skip the trial. Your bridal lehenga has to be perfect for you. Do not compromise. Buy only what you really like.

The Indian wedding is all about pomp and show. From looking for a wedding banquet to going on a bridal shopping spree, you have a lot on your mind. But, the glamour and auspiciousness of the wedding ceremonies is not all what it seems.  There are some shady superstitions in India that force degrading Indian marriage rituals on brides and grooms. We need to call them out, now. Here are 9 such practices and why we must abolish them.

• Kanyadaan

Gifting the bride away in charity to the groom’s family is as low as it gets. It is bad enough that a person has to give up an entire life, to go take care of another family, because she was born female. But the fact that men and women today accept treating a woman as an item to be given away is shameful.

Some might argue that the ritual is not meant to treat the woman like property but as a precious treasure of the father, who wants to make sure her husband takes care of her. Well, in a marriage both the partners should take care of each other. And even the groom shouldn’t have to say things like “I take the responsibility of her food and clothing this day onward”. Many women take care of those themselves now.

Instead of giving a heavy dowry to the groom’s family, people should start educating their daughters and supporting their career so that they can contribute in their new family, on their own. The archaic gender role of the husband bearing all expenses is oppressive to men too, and insulting to women who already share the burden of costs.

Not to ignore, the kanyadaan is performed by male members of the bride’s family. Even in the absence of the father, the next closest male member needs to perform the ritual. Now, imagine this. Two men meet; they exchange riches and one of them hands a girl over to the other. They have a deal. Makes you wanted to call the cops? Now, deck the girl up in bridal wear, the recipient of the girl in groom attire, and move the setting to a wedding venue, it all looks so pure, how can anybody question the sanctity of this tradition! Right? But the questioning has started, in lieu of some recent weddings. And it will continue.

• Bidaai

The woman obviously leaves her home because that isn’t even her home. She goes to her new home, or sasuraal, so technically, her father in law’s home, again, not hers. Now, before she leaves, she has to throw a handful of rice over her head symbolising repaying of the “debt” she had at her father’s house. So, yes girls, you are actually staying rent free in someone else’s home. That is not even actually your family, because, you are paraaya dhan. Somebody else’s property. How do independent women even tolerate and perform these Indian wedding traditions and rituals, I will never understand.

• The Signs of Marriage

In the western culture, giving away the bride, male member walking her down the aisle, surname change, all of it exists. But they are ahead of Indian customs on one account. They have the wedding band for both, the husband and the wife. But thanks to Indian marriage rituals, you know whether a woman is married or not, just by a glance at her sindoor, bangles, mangalsutra, toe ring, thali, there are numerous symbols to tell Miss, from Mrs. But the Mr remains a Mr. It is high time we abolish this custom. These things should not be imposed on the girl and it totally depends on the girl how she wants to flaunt her marital status.

• Absent Mother

In Bengali weddings, the mother of both, the bride and the groom, are not allowed to witness the wedding. Apparently, a mother’s eyes will spew the worst curse on her own child. If something goes wrong in the marriage, it is because the mother might have witnessed the wedding. No, it is not the abusive in laws of the bride, not the kitchen politics of the women and the living room politics of the men, it is the person’s own mother who wants to ruin things for the child. Again, how is, this still, acceptable?

• Kashi Yatra

South Indian weddings have a queer sense of humour. No, not that ‘queer’ that we should be able to accept with an open mind. The groom pretends to be disinterested in the marriage, packs up his things, umbrella and all, and runs away, forsaking the grihastha phase. The bride’s father has to run after him, beg him, literally beg him to come back and marry his daughter. He has to perform some rituals that are supposed to feel insulting by the way, to change the groom’s mind. The bride is supposed to silently marry the person who is being coaxed into a life with her.

We cannot deny the whole act of a boy running away and a man chasing him is funny. But, coming to the implication, can you come up with any interpretation apart from “the groom is doing a half hearted favour to the helpless bride by marrying her”? Oh it’s just a fun ritual. Then why does the bride not get to run away with the groom begging her to marry him? Why is the idea of coaxing anybody, groom or bride, into marriage, funny to begin with?

• Washing Feet

The bride’s mother should wash the groom’s feet when welcoming him to marry her son. If he cannot wash his own feet, is he ready for marriage? How can a respectable man allow someone to touch his feet? Also, in many customs, the bride is expected to touch the groom’s feet for blessings. Pati Parameshwar indeed.

If you are a man, do you think you are God to your puny wife? Why didn’t you get a woman who is your equal to marry you then? If you are a woman, who is not abused and forced into these practices, but do it anyway, what are you thinking? Are you thinking at all?

• Haldi

The bride is supposed to wait for the groom in her Haldi ceremony dress so that he can send the leftover haldi for her. Turmeric is all antiseptic and all, so we get that the hygiene part is taken care of. But it is just gross anyway. The best way I can think of it is, it builds partnership in the sense, the bride has to patiently wait and the groom has to make sure there is enough for her, kept away neatly.

But in a country where still many families have the women who eat only after the men are full or in a country where a man is seen as such a kind gentleman to offer his wife to sit with him for dinner, this is not a notion for modern world. Before you dismiss that because it doesn’t happen in your family, or any family you know, do realise that you are blessed to be a part of a respectful family. But these injustices do exist. If that was not enough, some customs have the bride sit under the groom’s elbow and the water that drips from his elbow when he is given a bath after the haldi, is supposed to be her shower. Conserves water I guess.

• Name Change

In some North Indian cultures, the bride is made to change her name, her first name, that is, to fit the groom’s stars. Her middle name used to be her father’s name and now it is replaced with her husband’s name. She obviously takes her husband’s surname. So, her maiden identity is obsolete. Do this outside marriage and you will have people suspecting you of some drug mafia links. Why should one have to give her identity up?

So, take a box, strip it off the old label, put a new label on it, put an address on it, and ship it. That is how marriage looks like to many women even today. As for the rest of the country, why should a woman even have to change her last name? Of course, the social system, the child belongs to the husband’s family. Of course, if it is a son. Else paraaya dhan cycle repeat.

Enough women and men are abolishing these dehumanising practices nowadays. It is time for you too, as a man or woman of today, take up responsibilities irrespective of gender norms. Work as equals.

• Manglik Bride

Out of all superstitions in India, this one takes the cake. A manglik bride is believed to have bad luck in marriage. Her first husband is supposed to die an untimely death. So, they get her married to a tree or a dog because, who cares about nature and animals? Creepy as it sounds, a manglik man doesn’t have to marry weird things, because, who cares if the wife dies? That is, for people who even believe in these rituals to begin with.

So, if you are looking for wedding venues for an upcoming wedding, we hope you are ready to bring a positive change with this wedding

The best halwais in India have been trying this for years and many Indo Western desserts have actually successfully been made. If you have a sweet tooth, you will love many of these recipes. When you order any of these items, expect some Indo Western magic in return. You can even follow some of the Instagram accounts to get the ideas about the latest trends in desserts. Here are some of these fusion desserts.

• Vegan Trifle

With hundreds of people turning vegan, we need some vegan dessert items on the list. This trifle contains gaajar ka halwa, pistas, and coco malaai. It is rich with milky buttery deliciousness with only coconut, dry fruits, and carrots.

• Sweet Ravioli and Lacha Rabdi

Paneer and dry fruits stuffed pasta, made sweet with sugar syrup and rabdi. How does it sound? Kind of a little too much in one place? Well, try it out sometime. You might want to make it the dessert item on your menu the next time you host any event that could use a something sweet in the end.

• Boondi Parfait

This is something you can make at home from scratch with just a few hours at hand. Go for some homemade rabdi and add in some pistas and chocolates.This is a baked dessert so there is no deep sugar frying going on here. It may sound easy but may not be so easy to pull off.

• Gulaab Jamun Cheesecake

Gulaab Jamun is a favourite dessert. Even people who do not like sweets so much, like Gulab jamun. Cheesecake, on the other hand, is an equally popular western dessert. If you want to make a dessert that is popular with the people, mixing the most popular desserts of the East and the West could just be the way. The trick is in the recipe because if done wrong, two very good ingredients can make something horrible. But the Gulab jamun cheesecake has been around for a while and it is a hit.

• Thandai mousse cake

Talking about hit desserts, think about pista thandai and whipped cream together. The perfect mousse cake with these ingredients will make a wonderful dessert. This isn’t the entire recipe or even all the ingredients of course. But it varies depending on whether you want to keep it on the Western style or more on the Indian style.

• Apple Jalebi

Apple jalebi is exactly what it sounds like. Jalebi out of fruit extracts. This is not only the newest type of jalebi you will ever taste, but also, it is healthy. So, for those whose doctors have advised them to stay away from sweets like jalebi, this if for you. An apple jalebi at dinner keeps the cholesterol away. And if you are partial to sweets, you can have this to keep yourself away from wedding jitters as this will act as anti-anxiety foods.

• Sesame Oats Laddu

Please don’t run the moment you hear ‘oats’. Though it is a very healthy food, it need not be as bland as you are used to finding it.

Oats can be very tasty in various recipes. Even in dessert! Making oats laddus with some dry fruits and seeds is a smart way to get people to have oats. Add some honey in the process and you are golden.

• Mango Phirni

This isn’t too difficult to pull off. You don’t even need to be told how to do this. The basic thing is, you need mango pulp, and the other ingredients for phirni are already there. Mango isn’t typically a western fruit but adding it in our typical Indian phirni does change things. Who does not love phirni? And who does not love mangoes! Put your hands together.

• Kiwi Barfi

We have kaju barfi, pista barfi, and Kesar barfi. We love them all. But a new flavour couldn’t hurt. So, what do you think about kiwi barfi?

There can be two ways to make kiwi barfi. One is put chunks of kiwi inside a regular kaju barfi. Two is, get kiwi extract and barfi out of kiwi. Either way, you just gave the popular Indian sweet a Western fruity touch.

• Phirni Thandai

This one again isn’t quite an Indo Western fusion dessert. Both thandai and phirni are very much Indian desserts. The dry fruits for garnish are available in India too. But the taste of thandai phirni has to be amazing no matter what process is followed for the recipe.

• Caramel Popcorn with Elaichi twist

Anybody who loves the elaichi flavour will love this caramel popcorn clusters. These have already been aced by some dessert makers. The flavours and the recipe perfected already. All you need to do is give it a try.

• Motichoor ki Rabdi

You can make a parfait with motichoor and rabdi.

Everybody loves rabdi and everybody loves motichoor. Sometimes a good fusion is in blending two eastern ingredients in the desired western recipe.

• Butterscotch Sheera

This is a very quick recipe. It is simple but tasty. Butterscotch toffee is made and sheera is made and they are put together. Simple as that. The good thing is, it is very tasty.

• Choco Gujiya

This is not quite the fusion dessert you will want to serve at a wedding or any big event. But imagine a twist with the gujiya wherever people expected regular gujiya. Go for chocolate cinnamon gujiyas. They will have milk solids inside and a totally chocolate cover. You can put in nuts too. Add some cinnamon sugar for flavour.

• Saffron Macaroons in Jars

Macaroons are so Western and saffron is so Indian. Simply blend the dessert with the flavour. To add to the complexity, add some cardamom and chocolate ganache to really blend in the flavours of Indo Western fusion altogether.

• Apple and Coconut Barfi

This isn’t too complex an idea but the taste is amazing. The flavours are fresh. It is something people haven’t tried too often, or at all.

So, be the first to serve this to your guests. As long as the texture is smooth and the sweetness is balanced, you cannot go wrong with this one.

• Kesar Badaam Cupcakes

This is once again, self explanatory. Anybody who can make cupcakes will know how to add in the flavour of saffron and nuts. Don’t overdo with the flavours. Saffron has a very strong smell. Go for the right amount, just a dash, and you are golden.

• Turmeric Ice Cream

Sounds like a disaster right? It will be if you put too much turmeric. Go for a regular neutral or sweetish ice cream and add a dash of turmeric while churning. Nothing speaks Indian like turmeric. Make your Indian flavoured ice cream a thing at parties.

• Peach Curd

Get peach, process it, smoothen the texture, add to the regular curdling milk, give time to set. This isn’t even a little difficult.

You can do this anytime. You will love it so much you won’t want to wait for some special occasion.

• Avocado Sandesh

This is probably the closest sweets which can get healthy. With the sweetness factor reduced and avocados introduced in the recipe, the Indian kalakand can have a makeover that will fetch hundreds of new fans.

• Mango Muffins

This one again is nothing difficult to make. It is already popular. The blend is perfect. To add to the Indian flavours, you can add some cardamoms or sesame to the muffin.

• Chestnut Pannacotta

Italian cream recipe with freshwater chestnuts is a good blend for an Indo Western dessert, what say? You will love this dessert. Trust your gut and make it a part of the next important event you will host.

The presentation of the dessert matters the most. The desserts need to be prepared a day early and refrigerated with care. Those that need to be fresh on spot are difficult to manage. The common ingredients like milk, curd, cheese, nuts, and cream need to be balanced out. The fruits have to be fresh. The pulp has to be smooth. It is not difficult to make great fusion desserts. Go to the right place for your desired dessert. India is coming up with some of the best Indo Western dessert places.
