Is it common in North India for in laws to buy outfits for the bride for some of the most important functions without even asking her opinion? I didn’t want to wear red but they’re adamant and looks like I’m gonna see my outfit only a few days before the wedding. My fiancé has little to no say in this. What do I do?
This was our first styled shoot as a wedding planner 😀 and we are so proud of achieving this Italian theme - La Dolce Vita, with all real flora and fruits. 🌷
It was so fun and exciting ✨ creating this from a simple concept to on field decor execution. Learnt a lot about on field decoration, just feels so good pulling this off.
Finalized this one after visiting few reknown vendors in CC . Now having second thoughts about this .
Please help with honest opinions.
classic red raw silk Lehnga has mix of zardozi , pearl , sequin and thread work. Has twin dupatta . Bride is concerned about height and design.
P.S. I am her fiancee .
Hi! So my best friend’s older sister is getting married and I’m wondering where I can buy fashionable lehengas when I’m based in the UK (ideally online brands with Europe/ international shipping).
The wedding is in Mumbai, but I don’t want to wait until I visit to buy a lehenga 1-2 days before. I’m quite picky with my style so thought to seek advice from this subreddit.
A quick google search turned up the brand KALKI, but no idea if they’re good or worth the money. Being something I won’t wear more than a couple of times, I’d like something at the intersection of good quality (no SHEIN/ cheap fast fashion please) but also affordable. Budget is under £160.
Some styles I’ve liked have been sage green or light purple lehengas- I know to avoid red, white and black for weddings.
My partner might also be attending with me so open to both genders’ clothing!
Ang brand suggestions/ tips for dressing for Indian weddings would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
Please suggest some good hashtags as bride name is Pratibha and groom is Sahil .
Need suggestions for a good bridal lehenga shop..
Budget is under 40k
I need to buy a few suits and sarees as well..
My sister is getting married and we will be shopping in September second week...
I got mine from Chabbra's few years back...but it was not Chabbra international or 555..
Some other Chabbra...I will try to find that shop when I go there but any other suggestions are most welcome
Hi guys, help a fellow bride-to-be! 😅
I’ve never really built a jewellery collection — I currently have just a couple of gold earrings and 2–3 rings. I’m getting married next year and am basically starting my bridal/everyday jewellery collection from scratch.
This is what I’m currently thinking of buying from my side:
1 antique gold choker + matching earrings
2 gold bangles kadas
1 small gold hoop for everyday wear
1 dainty gold bracelet for everyday use
1 small diamond drop earring
1 pair of small diamond studs
1 small diamond pendant + gold chain
1 diamond tennis necklace (budget around ₹4 lakh)
1 diamond tennis bracelet/bangle to match the necklace
1 pair of diamond earrings to go with the tennis set
For my wedding outfits and other functions, I’m also thinking of getting one or two polki/kundan/moissanite sets so I can have some more statement/bridal jewellery without spending a huge amount on everything.
I’ll also be receiving some jewellery from my in-laws, so I don’t want to unnecessarily duplicate things.
A few questions for those who have built their jewellery collections over time:
1.Does this seem like a sensible collection, or am I overbuying/underbuying something?
2.Is there anything you’d remove or add, especially something versatile enough to use after the wedding?
3.For the tennis necklace + bracelet, I’m considering 14K gold. Is that a good choice for everyday wear, durability, resale/value, etc.?
Since I’m starting from scratch, what jewellery pieces do you think are actually worth investing in versus things that sound nice but end up sitting unused?
Would really appreciate advice from anyone who has already built their bridal jewellery collection! ❤️
P.S used AI to simplify text

Hello. I am a white lady with zero clue. I need advice.
I'm going to a three-day long wedding near Bengaluru in a few weeks. For the engagement party a few months ago, I bought this saree. I was a bit flustered in the shop and I think the woman who sold it to me was a bit disengaged, but I liked the fabric.
I've now been doing some research and it seems like red/gold is inappropriate for someone who isn't the bride to wear? Or would it be appropriate to wear to the jaanavaasam or some earlier part that isn't the wedding itself?
Edit: I tried to attach a photo but that got taken down. It's quite bright red with gold zari work. Pretty elaborate.
I also showed it to a woman in another shop and she said it was quite bridal and also old-fashioned...
Maybe I'm overthinking it but I obviously don't want to commit a faux pas.
(I can see I'm meant to add flair but it isn't letting me...)
We customised this gorgeous green beaded neckpiece for a client and today its our bestseller in the making .
My sister was getting married on the 15th of January 2026 at PVM Gymkhana (Mumbai).
The wedding got cancelled won’t go into those details.
Anyway PVM refuses to give us a single penny for the 230,000 we paid for the hall.
We’re looking to sell the spot at 150,000 (can go lower) as well to anyone who is interested. Would really appreciate it!
Bhai this is so cool,

and yeh kitna better hai than those chemically haldi paste that used, skincare hee use krliya, lol
i think atp foxtale should’ve sponsored them (iykyk)
My brother is marrying into an Indian family, and I will be attending the wedding this weekend. I was just informed about the tradition of Joota Chupai, and am not sure what responsibilities I have. My brothers fiancé said I am incharge of hiding/protecting my brothers shoes. Yet when I look into it online, it seems as the brides family is trying to take and hide the shoes from my brother. Sounds like a fun tradition but looking for more clarity on what my role is as the grooms sister. Also if anyone has helpful strategies....please help me 😆
Hey girls! If you have your wedding/engagement/reception outfits just sitting in your wardrobe and you’re probably never going to wear them again, you can actually rent them out and earn from them 💗
I’m currently taking wedding outfits on rental, so if you have lehengas, sarees, Pakistani outfits, etc. that you’d like to rent out, just DM me with pictures/details!
Instead of letting them sit in the wardrobe forever, might as well make some money from them hehe 🫶🏻

Hey everyone,
I'm getting married towards the end of November, and we'll be having the wedding in Dehradun (my hometown).
I'm currently looking for a wedding photographer who has a natural, candid, documentary-style approach rather than heavily posed or overly edited photos. Someone who's good at capturing emotions and storytelling would be ideal.
I'd love recommendations from people who have personally worked with photographers in Dehradun or attended weddings where you were impressed by the photography.
If you've had a good experience, could you share:
Photographer/studio name
Instagram or website (if you have it)
Approximate budget (if you're comfortable sharing)
What stood out about working with them
Also, if there are any photographers I should avoid, I'd appreciate hearing that too.
Thanks in advance!
Hi everyone! I'm helping my friend plan a bachelorette trip to the desert (think palm springs/joshua tree). Does anyone have any suggestions for decor that is indowestern? There's barely anything on pinterest and we're at a loss. I'm looking for decor ideas for the AirBnB or even outfit ideas/theme nights. Since all the girls on the trip are desi, we thought it would be fun to mix the western vibes of where we're doing the trip with desi culture.
Thank you in advance!
