Bridal Shopping
At the time of marriage, bridal shopping especially can be very tiring if not planned properly. It is important to keep your bridal shopping list well sorted out and in order of priorities to make it a fun and cherished experience instead of a headache.
When you are a bride, there's so much going on, that at times you are not able to take a decision and rely on other's choices. This, however, may be a reason to regret in future. Read on to know some crucial tips as to how to plan for a hassle free bridal shopping.
Plan properly and make a checklist
This may seem a bit tad in the digital age, but making a traditional checklist of all the things you need to shop for can actually do half of your work. Sit at ease for a while and make a checklist of all the things you need to shop for your special day. Prioritize them on the basis of availability, usage and importance and plan days on which you are going to buy which one of them. This may seem a bit long, but it will ensure that you are sorted with the things you have to buy and what remains is sticking to the checklist and the schedule.
Don't take along a party
You will be crowded with over-enthusiastic relatives and friends who would like to accompany you to your shopping. However, tempting it does not take a gang of people to shop along. Different people with varied opinions are sure to confuse you. Take along with you, a person whose opinion you trust and who will help you in making a good decision instead of confusing you.
Buy the basics beforehand
For a hassle-free shopping, make sure you buy the basic items of your luggage well before the d-day. Items like undergarments, body shapers, slips, your regular cosmetics, etc… that does not need to be matched with your dress should not be left for the last minute. Don't mix these basic must-haves with the exclusive bridal shopping items, it will add to your confusion and would take a lot more time.
Have a layout of your wedding dress in your mind
For the most important shopping for your wedding, don't go with a blank mind. The bridal outfit is an item every girl dreams of for the longest time. Make sure you have an image in your mind about the kind of dress you want to wear and dazzle the day with. A color combination, a design pattern, etc.… if thought, well beforehand, may help you greatly in choosing your dream clothing. You can also browse through bridal magazines and take a few good pictures along with you to have an idea.
Make your bridal shopping an event to look forward to and a memory that will always bring a smile to your face instead of regrets about not doing a certain thing. The wedding day comes once in a lifetime of every girl and with a little planning you can make the most of this day and look the most beautiful bride.
Pakistan fast bowler Hasan Ali bid goodbye to bachelorhood in style as he got married to Indian national Shamia Arzoo in a glittering ceremony in Dubai on Tuesday. Hasan Ali became fourth Pakistani cricketer to marry an Indian girl after Zaheer Abbas, Mohsin Khan and Shoaib Malik. Malik had married Indian tennis ace Sania Mirza in April 2010. Even before Hasn Ali’s wedding ceremony took place on Tuesday in Dubai, various photos and videos went viral on social media where Hasan Ali could be seen participating in the rituals. Hasan Ali’s wife Shamia resides in Mewat, a district in the state of Haryana, met him during a random dinner in Dubai. Impressed with her honesty, Hasan Ali courted Shamia and sent a marriage proposal to her, which was duly accepted.
Ali had even invited cricketers from India and Pakistan for his wedding ceremony. He had said that he would happy if Indian cricketers turned up for his wedding. However, none from India and only Shadab Khan from Pakistan were present in the event. The Pakistani cricketers failed to attend the event because of their ongoing training camp under former captain Misbah-ul-Haq.
Here are some helpful beauty tips for those girls who are soon to get married or those who are planning to attend any weddings in the near future.
Try this if you want to reduce the pores. Make green tea and fill it in an ice tray. Let it freeze. You can rub this ice on your skin as it will improve the blood circulation and closes pores. You can replace the green tea with cucumber juice and rosewater.
If you are suffering from eye puffiness try the tea bag therapy. For that place two tea bags in hot water. Squeeze it and put them in a fridge to cool. Place it on the affected area to shrink the blood vessels and thus reduce puffiness.
The best method to avoid getting eye puffiness is by sleeping propped up on two pillows instead of one.
To whiten the teeth make a paste of baking soda and lemon juice (one tsp each). Use this paste twice a week to remove the stain from your teeth.
If you want soft hands and feet then don't forget to massage your hands and feet with olive oil or coconut oil before going to bed. If possible sleep with gloves and socks soon after you apply the oil.
Apply Vaseline and then put on some cushioned socks. You will wake up with soft and smooth feet.
Apply toothpaste on the zit to get acne free skin. You can also apply mouthwash (dab a piece of cotton in it) instead of toothpaste on the zit.

Meanwhile, Karun Nair is only the second Indian cricketer ever to score a triple hundred in Test cricket. He achieved the milestone after Virender Sehwag.

"She said 'YES," he said alongside a picture of the couple.

According to Tamil Brahmin traditions, apart from a formal engagement, another engagement will be held on the day before marriage. On the first engagement, the girl enters the hall and is welcomed by an aarti by the groom’s side. And the boy, in turn, is welcomed with aarti, flowers for ladies, sweets and sprinkling of rose water.

In a world ruled by smartphones, it is not hard work that pays off, but smart work. This is no different in the case of relationships. We live in a virtual space which can be liked by someone, shared by other and reposted by another. We all have a life outside reality that is exclusively in social media. Whether it's Valentine's Day or Birthday, we celebrate it online. The gifts should be of online post-able standards and even at a midnight cake cutting in our bedroom, we wear new clothes. After all, it should all go online at 12!
But, though we see a life of celebrations around, the number of breakups and divorces are rising. The reasons can be as small as not wishing for the anniversary. This may sound silly to you but may be a big deal for another. To avoid such situations, here are some things that smart couples do to make their life happier and smarter.
1. Never fight online!
Do not let others know, whether you are having a bad fight or if he missed bringing your favourite pastry on your birthday. Let all your distress and arguments be offline. It is not a bad eye myth or an omen that makes your life miserable, but a third person interference. The man/ woman who needs to know the problem is beside you or in the other room. Sharing your issues online can only bring more likes, but if you do it with your partner on the face, it can bring a solution at least.
2. Spend Quality Time
Make sure you have a minimum of 30minutes to 1 hour of quality time with each other per day. If you are not getting it at home, make some smart changes in your routine. Walk together to the gym or cook your dinner together. If she is busy in the kitchen, you can sit near and have a conversation. If he is late from office and already had dinner, make a cup of coffee and give him company.
3. Go on Vacations
It doesn't matter even if it is for a day or two. Get out from your daily routine and take a small break. Spend time with your partner and family. If you cannot travel outside the city due to work, book a resort nearby and see the difference in the bond with your family. Once in a while, you can leave your kids with your family members and spend a day alone with your partner to cherish your romance.
4.'Me-Time' is a Must
Spending time with yourself is as important as spending time with your loved ones. Me-time is not only about spas and beauty treatments. Read that book you always wanted to or visit that family member of yours. Go out and watch a movie which you missed and shop for yourself as a retail therapy. Take a glass of wine and lie down on your couch and watch your favourite show. Finding and loving yourself will help you love others more.
5. No Technology Day
If likely, take a day off from technology. Put your phones on silent mode and switch off your wifi connection. Take photos of your moments, if essential but do not post it anywhere. Let these moments be saved in your heart and added to your memory timeline. If your work doesn't permit you to do so, make it 2-3 hours per month. Even the busiest person can do this if an extra effort is taken.
Let's make these simple habits a part of our life and make our life happier than before.
Reality show star Rakhi Sawant teased people on social media for days with her pictures of bridal bangles and vermillion on her forehead.

You have already said Yes to your Mr. Right and finalized your wedding dress. Now, the next step is to choose the right accessories to get that perfect look on your wedding day. From undergarments to purse, you need a lot of accessories for making your special day memorable. You have to look into the minutes of the details that you may go crazy before with the shopping arrangements. Here are some of the wedding accessories that you cannot live without on your Big day.
1. Wedding Shoes
Whether flats, sandals or high heels, shoes are the first thing that you should shop for. You have to wear it before the last dress trial as the dress should get that final touch accordingly. Opt for those shimmering stones to embellish your feet.
2. Hair Accessories
You will be confused with the length of your veil and once you have an idea about it, you have to look for hair accessories to adorn your beautiful hair. It should go well with the hairstyle you are planning like pony or loose or a bun. Choosing your crown is also important as a flower tiara and white stones crown would give a completely different look.
3. Bridal Jewellery
Unlike Hindu or Muslim weddings in India, Christian wedding has very less gold ornaments. Either a statement neckpiece and a simple stud or a heavy earring dangler with no necklace at all will show justice to the simple elegance of the white gown. A bracelet or a watch with metal strap and the wedding promise ring would add on to the stunning look.
4. Jacket/Wrap
Those off-shoulder gowns or sleeveless would prefer a jacket or wrap as an additional accessory to match the traditional aspect of the wedding. It can be super stylish and yet be attention seeking from conventional minds. Especially if it is winter and it is an outdoor wedding, this can make you warm and cool at the same time.
5. Gloves
If you are not a bangle/ bracelet lover, you can go for gloves as a hand accessory. It gives you that vintage look. The length of the gloves can be of your choice along with the fabric that includes lace, satin and crochet. Remember that you need to remove the gloves before the ring exchange.

Many a time, the couple play the game not as a team, but as competitors in different teams. Let's see the five most important things that a couple should discuss, before marriage.
Talk openly about your debts to your partner and your future plans on how to manage them. Your financial status should be well learned by your partner and hiding will not do any good in the future. How are you both planning to manage the budget after marriage? Bank accounts, deposit details, investments, etc too can be discussed early.
When do you both want to expand your family or do you really want children. Is there any known medical condition or are you planning for adoption. Are you planning to share your parent's home or move separately? If moving, do you plan to take your parents with you? Sex is also an important factor to talk about as whether you both are ready to be in monogamy or in an open relationship.
Whether you both are working or not, household chores can be shared by both the partners either by duty or on a daily basis. If you hate cooking and can manage washing dishes, you can delegate the cooking to your partner and declare him to be the master chef and take up dishwashing or laundry chores.
If you have a dream of your own home but your partner is planning to rent out, that can be a tough decision to make. Furniture, television in bedroom or not, dishwasher or hand washing, air conditioner or cooler, 2bhk or 3 and the list of things go on and on for a couple to start the life. Your ideas should be well disclosed to avoid over expectations in the future.
You both should know any diseases you have or medications you are taking. Both of your lifestyles should be known as one cannot be a fast food fan and other a fitness freak. Medical insurances and other matters should also be revealed.

You can forget the smallest of any details on your wedding day or even the biggest thing like taking your wedding attire to the beauty parlour or carrying your wedding ring to the venue. Anything can go wrong in the hassle. But, all these can be managed with the help of others. But, there are some things you cannot take a risk on because it is all about you and your Big Day!
1. Hydrate Yourself and Eat Healthily
In the busy schedule of the wedding day, you may often forget to drink enough water. It is not only a must to stay healthy, but also fresh and beautiful. You may have those dry lips or wrinkles around the eyes if you are dehydrated. You will not feel hungry on your Big day due to the immense stress and pressure and that is perfectly normal but unhealthy. If you cannot have full meals, snack up with fruits and veggies or salads.
2. Pack your emergency make- up bag
You need an extra set of all the make-up items and cosmetics you are going to use for the wedding look for touch up. Either buy two sets of all or pack as soon as you are done with the makeup. If you are forgetful give the charge of the same to one of your bridesmaids. Carry some dry and wet tissues in the same in handy. The person who has this bag should be around you till the function gets over and you reach home. This will ensure that you have the perfect radiant look all through the day.
3. First Night Luggage and Honeymoon Luggage
You can pack the luggage for your first night and honeymoon on a separate bag. This will lessen the stress to find the clothes and accessories you purchased for the special night and your first trip together. Especially if your trip is on the next day of the wedding, you don't need to mess up. If you have separate bags, you will not have to worry about breaking the surprise, even if your hubby helps you to sort out the bags. Also, have a decent home dress for the next day morning as you won't be ready to face your hubby's family neither in your wedding dress nor your first night lingerie.
Monsoon weddings are always romantic. But the rains and the humidity during the monsoon season will not show much mercy on your skin and hair.
You need to start your beauty regimes some 6 to 8 weeks before the wedding. You need to take extra care to be a beautiful bride on the day of your monsoon wedding.
If you have oily skin the humidity would create more problems to you. Your skin will appear oilier due to more sweating.

Wash your face with water four or five times a day. Moisturize your skin regularly. Your skin needs moisture to appear smooth.
If you have a lot of pimples and acne scars consult a good dermatologist. Don't try to squeeze out the acnes, it will leave deep scars.
Those with oily skin could use multani mitti or fuller's earth as a face pack. You can mix it with rose water and apply this paste evenly on your face and neck. Wash it off after it dries. Multani mitti will absorb the excess oil content from the skin.
The multani mitti has got many beauty properties, it is not only a boon to those with oily skin, it w also helps to lighten the skin tone.
It also helps to diminish scars. To make the paste soak some gram lentils in milk overnight, the next day take some multani mitti and mix it with the soaked gram lentils. To this mixture add a tsp of rose water and make a paste. Apply this paste on your face and let it dry. Wash it off with water later.
An oatmeal pack is also quite useful during the monsoon days. Mix oatmeal with egg white and a spoon of curd and honey. Apply this paste on your face and neck evenly. Wash it off after 20 minutes.

The god's own country is known for its grace and elegance. Weddings are always luxurious, grand and splendid in India. But, Kerala weddings are comparatively simple in rituals and less in time. Whether it is a Hindu wedding, Muslim Wedding or Christian wedding, the brides have regular opted choices of saree colors like red or white kasavu saree (Hindu), green (Muslim) and white (Christian). But now, we all have moved global and pastel colours and vibrant shades have taken their roles without any religious intervention. Here are some variety of saree colors that take away the eyes of the guests.
Multicolor sarees are trending for some time now. Heavy jewellery with the embroidered blouse will give the bride that grand look any bride would look for. You can also go for some artistic work in the saree to make it exclusive.
The traditional set saree or kasavu saree is white and golden border. But, the dull look may not give the bride that happiness of wedding celebrations. So, go for a white and red saree. The red pallu will have designs in golden and the red blouse to complement will complete the look. This saree has a twin look with the traditional Bengali saree.
Those who are bored with the common red color wedding saree, opt for the rani pink or orange these days. The saree will be in orange/pink colour throughout. The pallu and blouse will also be in the same color. You can add heavy embellishments in the blouse to make it look more stunning. This will make the saree traditional and contemporary at the same time.
Christian weddings used to have guests who are wearing pastel colors. But now, despite the religious sentiments, all the brides are choosing light shades like peach, lemon yellow, pista green, baby pink, mint, etc to get that elegant look. The gold jewellery should match the saree to get that perfect bridal look.
The full golden saree is trending in the wedding industry for quite some time now. The bride can choose a golden blouse or royal colors like red, green, blue or pink ones as per her choice. If contrasting, the bride will have a modern stylish look and if golden, she will look more to the antique traditional style.
You can go for double shade saree if you can carry them well. The saree will be in one color in the top part and another in the bottom. You can opt for any of those colors for the blouse or a completely contrasting color to make the look completely different and gorgeous. This will look amazing with some antique jewellery. It can have one shade as global color and the border can be contrasting too.
The Monday to Friday schedule will be always a hectic one. You will be waiting for Friday evening to compensate for the week's pressure. Planning a weekend is tiring but at the same time fun. You can recharge your batteries and get ready for the next week. Weekends are special in the lives of couples because it is the only time they can be with each other. You should make maximum use of the weekends as it can be something that you can look forward to, every week.
More than sex, you have to give each other those tight hugs and long cuddles to feel each other's presence. Make out every time possible without time frames. Let it be on the sofa, table top in the kitchen or the dining table. Set yourself free in your pyjamas, bunny slippers and popcorns and be with each other. Physical intimacy is definitely a part of a romantic relationship which is inevitable.
If you were on the couch for the whole two days last weekend with a coffee and book, make this weekend memorable by exploring the world. Long walks, cycling or drives, choose your mode of commutation and place. Say Goodbye to the monotony of routine. A swim in the lake or a walk in the park holding hands can bring back the fire in your life.
Happy couples give importance to both me time and we time. Compromising on any one can make things go wrong. Go for that parlour appointment or spa/massage with your partner. Lie on his lap to finish your favourite book. Watch your favourite web series in Netflix together. Go for movies of your choice alternatively. Cook your partner's favourite dish and order yours for home delivery.
Give a 30minutes time to each other on a Sunday night to discuss how the week went off. Discuss and share your happy and sad moments. Release your stress and concerns. This will help to reflect on the week that passed. This will allow you to understand what went wrong or what the area’s you should improve is. You can focus on your relationship last week, for more intense conversations.
If your weekend is well spent you will be a happy individual and couple who would look forward to the next week. You can plan on things to do over the week and tasks to be accomplished. Healthy couples acknowledge the realities of life, work together to reduce the stress and maximise the happiness.
Get ready for an amazing weekend folks. Start planning now!

Are you ready to spice up your relationship with your partner? Every individual has personal goals, emotional goals and career goals. What about the relationship goals? Are you on the right track? Your courtship or marriage is a dynamic and evolving connection. But if you don't think proactively about what your future together should look like and how you can grow and evolve together, you may just grow apart. Relationship goals are limited to hashtags and memes on the internet. Everyone wants to work towards their relationship. But, none knows what to do. Social media has given it a new look but the real game is not understood. Anything and everything is used, reused and misused in the era of a right swipe. Most of the times, we cannot follow those unrealistic things that we find online. So, here are some achievable relationship goals that can boost your relationship.
#1 Always Prioritise
Over the years, we tend to take our partner and the relationship for granted. We do not give the time required to nurture the relationship. We give importance to everything else like career, family and what not. This year, let's promise to ourselves to give the utmost significance to our relationship and partner. A relationship is like a newborn baby. You have to feed, entertain and also give your full attention to make the baby happy.
#2 Phones can be in silent
Every day, you should have that time in your relationship where both of your phones are in silent mode. You don't need to keep scrolling while lying on your partner's lap. You have to look into each other's eyes and have quality conversations even if it is the silly talks. These gadgets have taken away our attention and love. You can even lock them up in your drawer or put them away in another room to avoid the tendency to touch.
#3 Try something new
Get out of your routine more often. You can do some activities together. Try going for trekking or some weekend trip. You can also join a gym for couple packages. Once in a while, enjoy a spa or massage. Go shopping, eat out and stay awake whole night! You will be charged up for another few days of routine. Snorkeling, sky diving, water sports, and whatnot can be in your bucket list. Even a coffee date inside your bedroom on a cold morning will do the magic.
Fashion is the most temporary matter in this world. You shut open your eyes and the trend changes. Every woman dream about having a perfect trousseau to her credit. But, it is a big confusion on what to include and exclude to be trendy, stylish and traditional at the same time. There should be items that suit every occasion like grand, casual and formal. Here is a small list of what you should not miss possessing this year.
Chokers
For the past few years, we have been keeping away from chokers. Necklaces have been the statement jewellery for every bride. Now, it is the turn of chokers to rule. A choker is that ornament that hugs your neck tightly but not uncomfortably. It snugs and sits on your neck as if it will never leave you. It can suit every occasion.
Pendants
Pendants have always been in trend, but the size varies. There has been hot huge pendants that take the whole look credit and the simple and elegant ones which makes the one who wears it look gorgeous. The pendant trend is a blend of statement pieces and delicate pieces. Some of the popular types in pendants include amulets, talismans, lockets, medallions, and of late, charms. Pendants can be the best gifts for women of all ages, if you choose the right style.
Anklets
Anklets have always been a bride’s favourite jewellery. But, whether light or heavy, it never attracted the casual lovers. But now, single leg anklets are in trend. They can be as thin as a thread or on the heaviest side. It depends on the occasion and the person who wears it. The clasping ones will take the fear away of falling off or opening up.
Bracelet
Bracelets always had to compete with the bangles to win the battle. At times, the victory favours the bangles and the bracelets will stay in the cupboard for a long time. It is a comeback time for the bracelet with statement pieces, stacks of bracelets, and charm bracelets being the trendiest in styles. The populr types of bracelets are the delicate ones and the thick ones (kadas). The best thing about the bracelet is that you can style it with every outfit whether casual, formal or traditional.

Your wedding date is fixed. You are done with all the invitations, shopping and taken beauty care appointments. Are you sure those chemical treatments and one-week perfect hair and skin regimens will pay you in later? If not, it is the right time to start. If you have five to six months for your wedding day, you can have the best hair without any harmful chemical interventions.
Be Prepared
Mental preparation is of utmost importance. You should understand that the natural ingredients and treatments will take a longer time to show results. You should not lose hope in between. Consistency is the key. You cannot get that result in one wash like with chemicals.
Condition without any conditions
Yes! Deep conditioning is a must to get that soft hair. But, you don't need those sulfate and paraben filled bottles to clean and condition your hair. You can use hibiscus leaf juice or green gram flour or simply baking soda and water. You can condition with yogurt and egg, twice a week.
Prevention is better than cure
Try not to have any hair concerns and if you do, start the treatments naturally. You can remove the dandruff problem with a concoction of coconut oil and lime juice. If you have a hair fall issue, use onion juice to solve it. Be sure to be regular with your remedies as they may take time to improve your hair.
Straightening/ curling is a strict NO
Especially if you are doing them for the first time, keep away from those strong chemical treatments. You can do those with home remedies with time. Those heat treatments will damage and destroy your hair from the root. Natural hair texture is what is best for you. Also remember, it is a difficult and time-consuming process to get back to your natural hair if you find them not suiting you.
Chemical Colouring is also avoidable
You should avoid those chemical colours for your wedding preparation. If you want to hide your greys, you can go for natural colouring like henna. You can apply aloe vera and castor oil to get back your natural hair colour and blacken your hair. It will take a longer duration but will have longer existence too. You should not treat the disease, but the cause.

On your D-day, you always adorn yourself and the best of ornaments, makeup and the pretty dress and if possible you will never come out of it but unfortunately you cannot do that and that's the reason why we have photographers, our life savers. They freeze the frame in your timeless beauty in a spellbinding way to create unforgettable lifelong memories. But you should know the correct poses which would make you look more pretty and will always be your favourite. We have analysed the need and here we are with 15 different poses a bride should click before her marriage
Mehandi plays a vital role in all traditions of marriage. Your hand would look perfect with those bangles, rings and all those jewellery blending well with the Mehendi and that would make a perfect shot. Always try to include the work of your lehenga or saree you are wearing because a perfect click always needs minute details.
Ask your photo capturer to click a picture from the above angle where your shyness and the bridal beauty is glorified. It should be a candid shot to enhance the beauty of the picture. The one looking down always has all these characters. It will always show up the eye makeup and the matha patti.
Your hair stylist needs a credit too right? The perfect hairdo for the day deserves a pic. It would be good if you look out the window or towards your bridegroom and take a back shot. This picture which would look ethereal is one among my favourite. To add on if your blouse got works on its back then GR-EA-AAT!
That particular shot where a girl changes herself to a bride is the most important shot. That moment would just grasp thousands of hearts where a girl adjusts her veil or the dupatta. You will not realise the importance but the photo will just look gorgeous by itself. This image would always stay in heart as you are transforming yourself into a woman.
Your lehenga or saree might hide the prettiness of your shoes and it's necessary to show people how many bucks you have spent on your shoes so always click the bridal image of shoes! Everyone love to ogle at shoes! I do love shoes. So why not click the leggy moment for posterity.
The glory of the lehenga is shown well when you twirl and it's one of the major favourite steps of the bride! (We know everything) So ask your photographer to click a picture so that your lehenga gets all the attractions.
Shoot with some props in hand or somewhere near you . You can ask the photographer to get some written placards or frames or anything interestingly creative that you could think of.
The perfect saree, lehenga or the gown you are up to wear on deserves a special picture and that can be only done before you wear it. We know how much you might have spent the money, time and energy searching for an outfit. To add the awesomeness you can just hold it and peek from behind or you can just hang in on a wall which matches with the dress and then click!
Girls have done so much for you and for your marriage. You will have lots of fun clicking pictures with them. You can cherish these moments if these memories are stored in a form of pictures then you can always laugh at the memories for years and years. You can also upload these on facebook as the display picture.
Mirror shots are too common and worth the cliche. Never pose for the mirror shot, your candid gestures are the best for these pics! The perfect time to take this is when you have done your hairdo and makeup because that's the time when you are ready but not actually ready!
Let people know that you have got no blues of marriage. Keep this shot in your must-click list because nothing is as rocking as you being happy. Remember one thing that you rule the wedding honey! Have much fun as you can have.
That "OMG! You look wow" expression later when you see the album is so necessary. So this defining shot after you get all dressed and decked up is much needed. Be ready to pose and take a lot of candid clicks.
B&W has its own beauty. Every album should have a couple of Black and white images which just takes the breath away. Make something unique and click a picture in it.
Why not be a little of Bollywood style and capture few clicks with lots of drama? This pose will add glory to your splendour and this chunri will give a filter effect to the picture.
Don't forget to pose with your lehenga or saree spread out and give it a beautiful twirl.
For many couples getting married under the starry night sky is part of their dream. What if we could recreate the starry night at our wedding venue?
The fairy lights or string lights could be artistically used to create patterns that resemble a starry night. The right kind of light and decoration could create magic at your venue and could also provide you many photo opportunities.
We would also like to give a piece of advice to those who are planning to use lights to decorate the venue - go easy on flowers. Yes, if you are planning to use lights to decorate the venue then you should reduce the number of flowers during decoration; let the lights take the centre stage.
There are various ways to include lights in the wedding decoration. String or fairy lights are the best options to decorate the venue, you could also create an old world charm using candle lights, but you will have to appoint someone to maintain and supervise these candle decor as a single mistake could lead to any freak accidents.
That is why we say that fairy lights are the safest way to decorate the venue. Any venue, no matter it is indoor or outdoor, could be transformed easily with the help of lighting arrangements.
Here are some amazing pictures how a magical land is created at weddings using lights.
Indian weddings are known for its pomp and grandeur. Over the years the big fat Indian weddings have only become fatter. The surge in people’s demands has helped the wedding industry to attain a growth rate of 25 percent every year.
Now the wedding traditions and rituals have transcended cultural borders. Rituals of a particular community or region are no more limited to that group. That is how many South Indian Hindu and Christian weddings now have mehndi and sangeet ceremonies.
Many South Indian brides now prefer lehengas over the traditional Kanchipuram sarees for their engagements and receptions. The change is not just among the female population, the men also have shifted gear to suits, sherwanis and bandhgalas for the wedding.
Now most of the brides have a clear picture of how they want their bridal look should be. Many prefer bespoke jewellery and know which piece of jewellery matches with what type of attire. Chunky jewellery is trending these days.
Many brides are now hiring services of celebrity stylists to get their bridal outfit, jewellery and overall look perfect. With a stylist's experience and knowledge on designs, trends and fashion the brides could attain the perfect look she has been dreaming for long.
Destination weddings have become a trend. Because of this trend even if you don’t belong to the bluebloods you can have a royal wedding, provided you are willing to spend. The destination wedding craze has become a blessing to the tourism industry in a way.
Other areas where we Indians don’t hesitate to spend our money are on wedding feast and décor. Décor is an inevitable part of theme weddings. Décor is a blessing for those who love to marry in a fairytale setting.
Earlier, the wedding photographs were more like a physical proof for the wedding ceremony. Now the term wedding photography has many connotations. Pre-wedding photography is a big trend these days. There are many professional photographers who even specialise in wedding photography.
Wedding photographs have acquired a personal tone now. Creating unique coffee table books with candid pictures and vintage looking pictures have become a must in weddings.
Another new entrant in our wedding traditions is the bridal shower and bachelor trips and parties. Our wedding cards have transformed from a mere reminder of the date and venue to exclusive pieces of art.
Earlier the custom of return gift was the tradition of some community, but nowadays it has become an inseparable part of all the Indian weddings.
Well, if you take this is one market which never goes down, we Indians and our craze for everything grand will definitely nourish the wedding market for many years.

A beautifully done hairdo could give the bride a stylish look. That is why makeup artists give utmost importance to bridal hair styling. Nowadays, a neatly done hair is not sufficient to give the bride an elegant look. It needs to be accessorised perfectly.
There are also a plethora of options available these days to accessorise the hair. The most common and the most followed bridal hair accessory type are the floral arrangements. It is a staple hair accessory of the South Indian brides. A string of jasmine flowers is either placed or wrapped around the hair by the brides. Not just the brides but the wedding guests also adorn their hair with flowers.
Other commonly used bridal hair accessories are maang tikkas/matha pattis, choti (which covers the entire length of the braid) borlas, jhoomar, billai, the sun and the moon clips, juda pins and clips etc... If all these were for Hindu and Muslim brides, then their Christian counterparts could adorn their hair with pretty hair vines, headbands and tiaras.
Among these, matha pattis and maang tikkas are usually worn by most brides. So we are today discussing the very traditional hair accessories such as juda pins/clips, chotlis or naga jadai etc...
Most of these hair accessories belong to the temple jewellery category. It would give the brides a regal look. Most of them are also related to the Hindu mythology.
Naga jadai is a long hair accessory that is placed after the hair is braided. It would cover the entire length of the braided hair. There are many types of traditional naga jadai available in the market. Some have divine motifs with a top portion which resembles the hood of a snake, while others have floral motifs. Images of Goddess Lakshmi and peacocks are the most widely engraved on the naga jadai. Antique Naga jadai which depicts the story of Krishna and the deadly snake Kaliya is also available.
If you want to add a little modern twist to this hair accessory then you should opt for chotlis which is a variant version of naga jadai with stones and enamel colours. Some are even embellished with rubies and emeralds.
You can also adorn your hair with billai which comprises of nine circular clips which are placed on braided hair. The clips vary in size and they are arranged in a descending order according to their size. Billai is available in a large number of designs with various kinds of motifs and colour patterns.
The sun and the moon shaped hair adornments are the staple accessories of a traditional Tamil bride. They like naga jadai are a part of temple jewellery. The sun-shaped clip is worn on the left side of the head while the moon clip is worn on the right side.
The modern brides also love to adorn their hair with juda pins or clips. They really give the bride a royal look. They are decorative clips which are available with long chains, some of which could be attached to the ears. There are various kinds of juda pins available.
They come in elaborate designs and are available in circular, semi-circular, floral and peacock designs. You could skip the flowers if you are using a juda pin or clip. It looks best with a neatly tied bun hairstyle. You could match the colour with your bridal jewellery and can even wear an embellished juda with stones or pearls.

What is that 'X' factor that makes you the best wedding planner?
After the box office hit Bollywood debut of Anushka Sharma and Ranvir Singh, 'Band Baajaa Baaraat', everyone wants to be a wedding planner. It looked so easy and stylish to dance at the weddings and steal the show. But, the real wedding planner does not roam around in wedding lehengas, hair open and dolled up face, but will be in their most comfortable dress, running behind the electrician to fix the fuse. It is a tedious, but interesting profession in the wedding industry that can fetch you some good money. Planning your sister's wedding is definitely an add-on, but not everything that you are expected of. Here is some skill set that every wedding planner should have, despite the cultural differences in every part of our country.
#1 Communicate- Talk, Speak and Listen!
You may need to have deep conversations with the bride and the groom, and also their parents to know their expectations and necessities. You can brush up your diplomatic skills and meditation habit to keep your calm. Their interests may conflict and contradict or may at times not fit into their budget. You have to bring them all under one shelter. Since almost all wedding vendors hate working under a wedding planner, you need to be highly professional and respectful to get things done, your way. A simple gap in the communication thread, every other effort goes in vain.
#2 Creative- Out of the box is now mainstream!
No client will want a replica unless it is a celebrity wedding copy with one-tenth of the budget. Yes! you need to be super creative to make things have a signature of your own. You can be inspired by magazines, online portals and photography pages. You collect them up and make an idea book. This will help you get ideas, but there should be still your personal touch which will make the client remember you.
#3 Organisation- it's all about your skill
You have to create the perfect checklist and make sure everything happens on time. Whether it is your responsibility or not, you need to ensure that every task happens on time. If it is the tailor's mistake, you cannot play the blame game. Instead, find a solution. Your disaster management skills will come in handy for this profession. If you are a constant procrastinator, keep it aside for personal life.
#4 Money Management
Wedding involves a lot of money flow. You should know where every penny of your client goes and guarantee the best deal. Even for a luxury wedding, you have to be careful about spending the money as it is important for every person, whether rich or poor. A workable budget should be on priority and any unseen expense should also be seen by a wedding planner.
Last but not the least, remember that there is no room for your tastes, it is all about the client. If you think, you have all these within you, you can get ready for the 'Band Baaja Baarat'.

The legend behind Valentine's Day!
Valentine's Day is all about love, proposal, marriage, hearts, roses and a lot more. Every February 14, across the globe, candy, flowers and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. But does anyone know who is this mysterious saint, and where did these traditions come from? Let's find out more about Valentine, this year before celebrating it.
The Catholic Church identifies three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus and all of them were martyred. One of the stories argue that Valentine was a priest who lived in the third century in Rome. When the Emperor Claudius II declared that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he prohibited marriage for young men. Valentine was against this law and defied Claudius. He still encouraged marriages and continued to perform marriage rituals for young lovers in private as a secret. When Valentine was caught for his illegal activities by the Emperor, he was sentenced to death as the punishment. The story seems quite lovable and stands as a symbol of love for the romantic couples.
The other stories are not as passionate as the previous one. One of them says that the Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons, where they were often beaten and tortured. Another legend claims that an imprisoned Valentine actually sent the first “valentine” greeting himself after he fell in love with his jailor’s daughter, who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter signed “From your Valentine, "we are still into it. Although there are many stories regarding the Valentine and Valentine's Day, there are some commonalities for all. Every story emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic and most importantly romantic figure. Because of this fame, by the Middle Ages, Valentine became the most popular saints in England and France.
While some believe that Valentine’s Day is celebrated as St. Valentine’s feast day in the middle of February in an effort to “Christianize” the pagan celebration of Lupercalia. Lupercalia was a fertility festival dedicated to Faunus, the Roman god of agriculture, as well as to the Roman founders Romulus and Remus. There was another belief which existed in the France and England that February 14 was the beginning of birds’ mating season, which added to the idea that the middle of Valentine’s Day should be a day for romance. By 18th century, it became a common thing for friends and lovers of all social classes to exchange small tokens of affection or handwritten notes, and in 90's printed cards began to replace the traditional hand written letters due to improvements in printing technology. Thus, Valentine's Day turned out to be the most romantic day for love proposals, happy Weddings and love making. Happy Valentine's Day folks!
Budget-Friendly Wedding!
Celebrate your Wedding within your budget line!
Here are some tips that you could cut down the cost of your Wedding without diminishing your wow moments.
1. Limit Your Guest List
It is your wish that you need to throw everyone you know on your Wedding day. If you are planning for a budget-friendly Wedding, that isn't a brave idea to put it into consideration. You might be tempted to call more guest but for each additional guest, you are adding additional expense to your planned Wedding. Try to invite a minimal guest who you think they are close to your family. Moreover, it should be an intimate affair.
2. Ceremony at home/outdoor
If you have enough front area space at your house, why don't you choose it as your Wedding venue? Instead of spending a heavy amount for a Wedding hall, you can arrange a classy stage décor in your own home.
You can also plan outdoor Wedding functions in a park/garden with a beautiful view. It will create a picturesque & memorable Wedding feel while eliminating the cost of rental Wedding venue.
3. Do the catering Yourself
Traditionally our parents & grandparents used to prepare the dishes for their Wedding in the house itself. It is a good system to avoid catering expense. More than that, you can serve good quantity and quality dishes to your guests at a limited expense.
4. Rental Wedding Outfits
One of the biggest expenses of a Wedding is associated with the costumes of the bride & groom. Designer outfits of the bride and the Tuxedos of the groom are generally for one time use. If you are not comfortable to use your Wedding outfits beyond your D-Day, try rentals. It will help you to save much money in your Wedding expenses.
5. Avoid Serving Alcohol
Alcohol plays a vital role in universal Wedding events. Alcohol is one of the major expenses of a Wedding. Try to serve Wine/beer if it is needed.
