Actress VishuPriya to enter into wedlock with Vinay Vijayan
They say weddings are made in heaven. Actress and model Vishnupriya is all set to embrace the beauty of this new paradise, holding the hands of Vinay Vijayan, the son of East Coast Vijayan. The much-awaited union is scheduled on 20th of June at Camelot Convention Centre, Alappuzha. Opposite to the new trend of dating and love marriage, the couple met through matrimonial site and the marriage was arranged by the two families.
"Vinay is a little reserved and extremely compassionate person. This quality of him makes us a perfect match made for each other. He talks to me a lot but I haven’t found him cracking jokes or being very social with others. I’m a very homely person too and hence excited about the new role in life," said Vishupriya. Being passionate about dance, her career dream is to establish a dance institute and indulge more into the art. Having got a supportive partner in her life, she looks forth towards the upcoming days with exhilaration. The one-year courtship has set the scene for a good bonding and great friendship which soon blossomed into unconditional love. "Vinay is into business and is passionate about photography. We are happy that he got a new subject for his photography experiments since I absolutely enjoy and love being the girl in the frame," she giggled while saying.
Having a very simple outlook towards life, her aversion for the extravaganza is reflected in her dreams about marriage too. “I keep requesting my mother to kindly excuse me from the heap of gold a bride is made to wear, but I don’t know how far she is convinced. I’m not a great fan of the typical big fat South Indian wedding. For me, happiness is the presence of everyone dear and near. Weddings bring people together. This gathering is my favourite part of the wedding, ” she added. With the preparations for the Mehendi ceremony the coming day and the wedding on the way, the memories of her departed father come fonder than ever before. “It was his dream to see me getting married off, but I know he will be happy with everything going on,” she said.
Born and brought up in Bahrain, Vishnupriya has absolutely enjoyed the music shows and programs by East Coast whenever it came to the Gulf countries. Little did she know that her destiny is waiting right within those magical moments the music created. Swayed by the love and affection from Vinay and his family, she doesn’t feel any discomfort or uneasiness in stepping on to the new roles and responsibilities. As another journey begins, let’s wave the young couple a promising life of love and bliss.

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.
It would create acne problems as the sweat and oily condition would attract dirt. So you need to take extra precautions. To get rid of the dirt, use good facial scrubs regularly to de-clog your skin.
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.
Well, the wonder mud multani mitti can also be applied on hair too. IT contains many minerals that would help you to nourish your hair.

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.

Your Wedding Planning Guide!
A perfect wedding needs lots of planning and we know that it is not an easy task. A small mistake could spoil your big day. Sometimes we do overlook certain things during the planning period which could lead to a disaster on your wedding day.
The usual mistakes people make while planning a wedding are listed here.
First is making the mistake of not planning the wedding on a budget. This could lead to a complete disaster as everything depends on the amount you are willing to spend on the wedding. You need to first decide on a budget and then arrange things which would not surpass that amount.
Making a budget doesn't solve all the problems. Not sticking to that budget also creates problems. We are not saying that you have to stick to the budget literally; situations could come where you will have to shell out a couple of extra bucks to meet the unforeseen expenses. But that doesn't mean that you could blow the budget at your will.
If you keep spending an extra dime on each and everything then you may end up broke after the wedding.
Another major mistake is buying and hiring poor services to cut costs. You should realize the fact that cheap doesn't mean value for money. Sometimes your love for everything cheap may end up in you spending a lot of money to fix things.
So don't hire a squad of inexperienced people to do the job of experts. Hiring professional caterers and planners will help you a lot as they could bring their expertise into the planning process. You should not hire amateurs until and unless you are very sure that they could do justice to the work.
Ok, you have hired professionals for everything, but the lack of proper communication could land you in trouble. Tell the vendors exactly what you expect from them. Even though they are experts it is your wedding and you need to tell them exactly what you want and that would help them to execute it brilliantly.
Another trouble is to keep inviting people who are not in your planned guest list. It is better to stick to the already planned list as your caterer and other vendors will be preparing things according to that list. Don't just blow it by inviting people at your will. It may lead to embarrassing situations on the wedding day.
So avoid these simple mistakes to have tension and disaster-free wedding.
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.

Unique Wedding Cakes!
Are you aware of the fact that in the medieval times wedding cakes were not cut by the newlyweds, they were thrown at the bride!
Yes, it is true. The logic behind the tradition is that it would bring fertility.
Well, today the wedding cakes have come a long way from this fertility tradition. In fact, we can say that it has come a long 'weird' way.

Maang Tikkas For Your Bridal Charm!
Indian brides love to wear a lot of jewelry. There are many types of jewelry to enhance the bridal look. Maang tikkas are also an important part of this bridal jewelry.
In one of our earlier articles, we have given you a glimpse of the various kinds of bridal jewelry available. But here we would help you to pick one according to your face shape.
A tikka also represents the union of two individuals through marriage. It usually covers the forehead where the ' chakra' is located.
Though it is said that you should select the tikkas according to the color of the dress, it is also important to pick one which suits your face shape. You don't want to look odd on your wedding day with a wrongly selected one.
The first step is to determine the shape of your face; for that stand before a mirror pull your hair back of your face and with a color pencil or a marker (not the permanent one) trace the outline of your face on the mirror. The shape you have drawn on the mirror will be your face shape.
As we have decided upon the face shape let us discuss the perfect tikka according to your face shape.
Oval
It is the most symmetrical face shape and is considered the most versatile and proportionate of all shapes. Any shape and size of tikka will go perfectly with an oval shape, So you could pick anything you want. But don't add extra length to your face by wearing an extremely long tikka.
Round
You could make your round face a little longer with a perfectly selected tikka. To lengthen the face, find one which is less detailed, thin and long. Pick a tikka which is longer in style with a pendant which is more oval or in a rectangular shape. Don't wear a tikka with a round or circular shaped pendant. Though the single stranded tikka may look very basic, it will look great on round faces.
If you don't want the basic looking long simple pendant type tikkas then you could opt for a jhoomar or passa. They are the traditional tikkas worn by a Muslim bride. They will help to create the illusion of length to your face.
Heart-shape
Your chin will be narrower than the rest of the face, the pointed chin and forehead. The crescent style or large pendant type tikkas would look best on you. It will add more length to your face. The multi-layer type will also look great on you.
Rectangular
They are about longer than they are wide. You could wear tikkas with large round pendants. Avoid those which have rectangular or square shaped pendants. Large layered types will look great on you. You could wear the large wide (South Indian type) tikkas.

Wedding Shoe!
Wedding shopping is an interesting thing to do. You are picking things for an important day of your life and it is nothing like your usual shopping. You need to be very careful while picking your dress and other accessories. It is not just that the limelight will be on you on your wedding day, but the day will be as long as the ceremony and the reception could take hours.
So you should select things that are totally comfortable for you. Wedding shoes/footwear is an important accessory that could highlight your bridal look.
While you select a wedding shoe don't just go after the style quotient over comfort. You may have fallen in love with a pair of heels that have many alluring little straps but remember you need to wear it for long hours.
You should be totally comfortable in the footwear you have picked as mentioned earlier you will be on your legs for hours on your wedding day. You will be walking down the aisle or standing hours for the ceremony, posing for pictures, greeting guests and dancing at your reception on your big day. That is why we tell you to pick footwear which never makes you regret your decision.
But choosing comfort over style doesn't mean that you have to compromise totally on style. You should actually combine classic style with your comfort quotient.
The brides you are not usually used to wearing high heels shouldn't wear one on their wedding day. Ladies, it is not easy to maintain your posture on high heels. If you are not used to wearing it then totally forfeit the idea of high heels on the wedding day. So think twice before picking one such skyscraper.
Another important thing to remember is not to wear your new pair of footwear for the first time on your wedding day. Wear them around your house a week or two before the wedding to get them worn in a bit. It would help to ease the pressure on your legs it may cause.
Also, make sure that the stone and other embellishments on your shoe don't damage the hem of your dress.
Don't buy a pair of footwear just because it is the most expensive or the beautiful one in the shop. What if it looks like an eyesore with your bridal wear. Try to get that goes well with your wedding dress.

Trends In Bridesmaid!
Choosing the bridesmaid dresses is an uphill task. You will have to satisfy a group of women whose choices and tastes hardly match.
Nowadays, bridesmaids have become an important part of Indian weddings, irrespective of religion and region. Unlike the old times, the present day bridesmaids also want to look great as the bride so, no more tacky dresses.
Unlike the West, the Indian bridesmaids' choice is not limited to gowns; they can wear sarees, salwar, skirts, anarkalies or lehengas.
You can match the bridesmaids' dress with the bridal saree or lehenga. So if you are wearing a red lehenga or saree, then select another shade of red or pink for your bridesmaids' outfit. It is better not to get the bridesmaids' dress in the exact same colour of the bridal outfit.
You can also select bridesmaids' dress in contrasting hues than that of the bridal outfit. A bright bridal saree or lehenga will look great among neutral looking bridesmaid’s dresses. Or pair it the other way - a pale bridal outfit and vibrant looking bridesmaid’s dresses.
You know, there is no rule like the bridesmaids should always follow the monochrome colour pattern. Select a couple of colours that would complement each other and make the group of ladies follow these colour patterns.
Wedding Photobooth!
Photo booths at the wedding venue may be a novel idea for the Kerala audience, but it is a good concept to add some fun elements to your wedding.
Your guests can pose at these booths with fun props and the pictures could be epic.
You can either go for a DIY method or ask a professional photographer to help you set a photo booth at your wedding venue.
All you need are a perfect backdrop to the spectacular pictures, a camera (preferably a DSLR), tripod and a camera shutter release remote. You should either find a volunteer to take the photos or give the remote to the guests so that they themselves could take the pictures.
First, find a spot which gets the perfect amount of natural light (if it is an evening function use proper lights). Before inviting guests to the booth you yourself (we didn't mean the bride and groom you will be obviously busy in the preparations, get a cousin or friend for the job) should try it to understand the light.
Now create a perfect background for the pictures. It could be a simple but beautiful curtain or a collage of colourful dupattas or sarees, paper décor, ribbons etc… over a rode or it could even be an artistically decorated wall of flowers. You can also set or hang frames around the booth.
Now set the camera on a tripod. As mentioned earlier check the camera angles before the guests arrive.
No photo booth is complete without the fun crazy props. You can use sparkly hats, oversized retro eyeglasses, masks, funny plastic lips, moustaches on sticks, foam fingers etc...
Voila, your photo booth is ready for action. Here are some pictures to inspire you. Enjoy...

Trendy Mandaps For Your D-Day!
Indian weddings are rich in traditional affairs. Each and every element in the wedding has a specific meaning and importance. Wedding mandap is an important part of Hindu weddings. Even though some couple tie the knot at a temple the rest of the rituals are conducted in a mandap.
As it is the place where two individuals commence their journey of life together, it is given high importance and is decorated with care and pomp.
Though weddings are held under these decorated mandaps there are no specific rules decorating them. As India is a land of diversity and colour, people love to incorporate these colours into their wedding venue decorations too. With great imagination and skill, you could create a magical charm to your wedding. Here are some of the beautiful wedding mandap decoration ideas that we came across the internet. Get inspired...
Floral
Flowers are the most used and most popular element to decorate a wedding mandap. Flowers and love have a long and deep connection. Love is like a beautiful flower whose fragrance makes the garden (real life) a place of delight.
Vintage
If you think flowers are overrated then why not bring back the old world charm of going vintage. Decorate your mandap in the 80's style gold and white papers. But remember to send those papers to a recycling unit after use.
Minimal style
You could use clothes and curtains to decorate the mandap. They are charming at the same time simple with no over the top decorations, but you need to add a more dramatic effect to it then hang some fairy lights, bangles, kalires, chandeliers, lanterns etc...
Over the top
Well, the sky is the limit while you think about decorating the mandap. If you have the means then why not recreate royal mahals or temple structures to get married in.
Wedding Gown!
Earlier, an Indian bride’s only choice for their wedding was saree. But today wedding gowns are also being preferred by the brides. Now, most of the Christian brides wear gowns, and the most interesting fact is that even non-Christians also wear gowns during the wedding celebrations.
The gown trend was prevalent in Goa for many years, especially due to the area’s Western influence. But for Kerala-based Christian brides gowns are slowly becoming a style statement. Many consider the gorgeous gowns have an alluring beauty of its own, even though many call it a Western fixation.
Nowadays, Hindu as well as Muslim brides wear gowns of pastel shades like off white and subtle gold for their engagements and receptions. According to Muslim tradition, gowns are acceptable with a veil or a shawl, so Muslim brides wear brightly coloured gowns for mehendi functions.
The price of a wedding gown varies from Rs 4,000 to 1 lakh! For uniqueness in designs and sizes, many people opt for customised gowns from designers.
Usually materials used for gowns like Italian Chantilly, Thai silks, Dutchess satin etc are imported.
Gowns with Indian embellishments like embroiders are in great demand as they offer a fusion style. For hi-end weddings, gowns embellished with Swarovski crystals too are used. Many still prefer conventional styles in wedding gowns and among the various designs; A-Line gowns are the most popular. But NRIs and those who are into cross-cultural marriages prefer off shoulders, spaghetti straps, low backs etc.
Gowns with flairs and those with a mermaid line accentuate femininity. A personalised styling from a designer can highlight the figure or can hide any unseemly bulge with innovative draping techniques. And if non Christians think a white gown is odd, jazz it up with traditional embroidery patterns and motifs. So go ahead and be the show stopper at your own wedding donning a gorgeous gown. No doubt, gowns are going to be the most stylish statement you can ever make on your special day.

Contouring & Highlighting Your Face!
Most women want to look nothing short of perfection on their wedding day. Over the years bridal makeup has also gone through many changes. Lately, contouring has become a hit among the brides.
What is contouring?
It is the process of slimming your face with makeup. In other words, contouring is enhancing the facial structure through makeup such as giving the illusion of higher cheekbones, a slimmer face or shortening the nose. Contouring doesn't mean putting heavy makeup. You can benefit from it if it is done in a right manner. If not done properly you may end up looking foolish.
Areas which need contouring
Temple
Nose
Cheekbones
Jawline
What all you need for contouring?
Foundations
Translucent powder
Blush
Brushes
Areas to highlight
If you want to bring out a certain part or feature of your face you should highlight the area.
How to highlight and contour in simple steps
Select a foundation which is one shade lighter than your skin tone as a highlighter, and two shades darker for contouring.
First apply the lighter colour foundation on the top of your cheekbones, under eye area, down the bridge of the nose, and an upside-down triangle on your forehead. Now slowly blend the edges of the foundation with a brush.
Now apply the darker foundation in the hollow of your cheekbones, down the sides of the nose, underneath the chin, in the depth of the temples, and along your hairline. Blend the edges with a blending brush.
As you don’t want to end up looking ridiculous soften the edges with a clean wet sponge. Gently press over your foundation.
Now, apply the right shade of blusher on your cheekbones and a suitable colour of the lipstick. Now you are ready to go.
Bridal Ornaments!
What better time to celebrate jewellery in all its glory than our most special and awaited moment? Be it sparkling diamond jewellery, eternal gold jewellery or traditional jewellery, weddings are the times when all inhibitions can afford to take a hike as there is no fixed mantra that people are willing to follow during this time.
Since last few years, weddings in India had gone through dramatic changes. The most visible change is on the jewellery worn. With the availability of ornaments in a mind-boggling range of patterns and designs, people seem to have accepted it with open hands, whether it is crystal, gold, diamond, antique or fine jewellery.
Costume jewellery: Costume jewellery is a perfect match for all bridal wears. Just one or two precious jewellery pieces will do great work with wedding trousseau. Bold and big jewellery sets and separates like rings, earrings, and bangles are in vogue.
Antique jewellery: Sets that are chunky and ethnic are still going strong in demands. The patterns differ from state to states like meenakari, kundan or jadau set.
Crystal Jewellery– Crystals, especially Swarovski gives a classy and elegant appearance. Clear crystals accentuate dark coloured clothes. The latest is wearing a fabulous necklace of glittering rainbow Swarovski crystals. A big finger ring or brooch with unique motifs laid with stones is sure to add an ethereal touch to your ensemble. There are micro stone set bangles to spruce up your plain gold bangles.
Coloured glory: Colored stones, beads, and enamelling are still trendy, so make sure that you own one. It can be a turquoise, blue sapphire or topaz, a dash of amethyst. These will definitely go wonderfully well with antique jewellery sets.
Diamond Jewellery: Diamonds are said to be “girl’s best friend”. The sparkling diamonds lends a magnificent sheen to your ornaments and goes well with almost all attires. From studded rings and bracelets to chunky pendants and chocker sets, there are even heavy diamond jewellery pieces for formal occasions.
Platinum Jewellery: Platinum is slowly getting popular in India, but still perceived as expensive by consumers. Pendants and rings of platinum are the most moving items.
Once you are done with jewellery, it’s time to pick some accessories for your hair that’s matching the colours and materials of your attire.
Jewellers
Gold Jewellers: Indians are fond of the yellow metal and no wonder, the gold jewellery industry is a shining star in the country’s economy. The concept of brands has been taken in case of jewellery too in India. De Beers was the first branded jewellery in India, but now there are lot many players and several new entrants keep coming in offering innovative designs and fresh ideas.
The premium jewellery brands in India include Asmi, Tanishq, Eros, Signature, Nakshatra, Gili, Agni, Aura and more. Besides these, each Indian states has its own traditional trusted brands which have been in the industry for generations.
Platinum Jewellers: Only selective jewellers in India are dealing with platinum. The Platinum Guild International has a presence in India and has some authorised jewellers in India. You can check up their website to know the list of authorised jewellers. Apart from this, every platinum product has to be authenticated by a third-party certification issued by the Underwriters Laboratories, popularly known as the UL Card.
Platinum can be exchanged only from the same store or brand from which you originally bought it. Also, on exchange one will get only 85% of the value.
Diamond Dealers
Diamonds being slowly and steadily walking into the lifestyle of Indians, there are several brands in India now like Gili, Nakshatra, TBZ, and Sunny. Diamonds are assessed by the 4 Cs- Cut, Colour, Clarity, and carat. These 4 things determine the quality and price of a diamond. VVS or SI clarity diamonds are the most popular diamonds in jewellery making.
Buy diamonds that are certified by international laboratories like International Gemological Institute (IGI) or Gemological Institute of America (GIA). Many jewellers offer their own certification, but a certified diamond is preferred. If you are exchanging diamonds, do note that most brands and big stores take only the diamonds sold by them. Small jewellers may take diamonds sold by others but the value will be discounted up to 60%.
Ornament Designers
Ornament designing is a traditional concept in India, where gold workers crafted designs according to orders and as per the desire of customers. But today also ornament designers are in great demand for customized needs. Ornament designers now have taken new forms from designers of big brands and celebrities to private players. The craftsmanship of Indian jewellery designers is always looked upon as imperial. In recent years, a new crop of jewellery designers has caught the attention of fashion lovers.
Perfect Gown For Your D-Day!
If you are a bride it is your right to outshine everyone on the big day of your life. For that, you should select your wedding dress with expertise and finesse. Saree has been the safest pick for Indian brides for decades. But now you have the freedom to wear any attire you are comfortable with on your wedding day.
Hindu brides are still following the tradition of wearing the six-yard to tie the knot. But if you are a Christian bride you can be the star of the day like a fairytale princess in your wedding gown. So if you have decided to wear a gown on your big day you need to take care of some tips before zeroing in on the dress.
You have to select a gown according to your body type. People have different body types so don’t go for a particular gown just because someone else looks good in it. Know your body, talk to an expert and then only decide your dress.
Here are some tips which could help you in finding your dream dress.
For hourglass figure
Take advantage of your proportioned curves. You can go for a mermaid or a trumpet gown which would highlight your curves.
For tall brides
You are blessed with height so you can actually go for the fairytale type ball gowns. A ball gown will have a fitted bodice with a full, bell-shaped, floor-length skirt. You can also add a long veil to your look. You will also look good in mermaid gowns because of your height. But avoid high updos because it will add more height.
For short brides
If you are short and petite empire line would help you to cover the problem areas. The waistline starts just below the bust and the rest of the dress flows down to the hem. This gown could also help to minimize large bust due to the traditionally square neckline of the dress. But avoid horizontal patterns.
For that pear-shaped body
Choose a floor-length skirt that flares out in an A from your natural waist. It would help you to cover big hips and thighs. A V neckline will also help you to balance the upper portion.
For apple shape
Your weight is mainly around the waist so choose A-line gowns which would highlight your waist. A ribbon around the waist or a corset could add the illusion of a waistline. A V-neck is also a good option.
For busty woman
A scooped neckline would take the focus away from your chest. You should avoid materials such as silk, satin, and organza. Balance your top with a full skirt.
For those box-shaped women
You should go for a dress which could create an illusion of curves. You need to add volume so look for a ball gown with a full skirt that would cling to your natural waist. It could hide your lack of curves.

Be a confident bride!
Wedding can put a little stress on both the bride and the groom. As the day approaches you may lose sleep, eat less or start binge eating, you may suffer from sudden acne breakout etc... Don't worry it’s because you are stressed and your body is reacting to it.
We know that the wedding needs a lot of planning, but don't wear yourself out with all the preparations. You can't be physically present at each and everywhere to organise the wedding. Share the burden with your family or close friends you trust the most. Ask for a little help from your family to create a budget list and checklist.
Some brides and grooms have a tendency to get involved in new stress buster routines. It could, in turn, be physically and mentally exhausting. So don't try out a new diet, yoga or exercise regimens if you are on a short notice. Follow those things which you have been following to relax. You are licensed to experiment if your wedding day is not that close. Sometimes a heart to heart with your best friend could be your stress buster. Practicing meditation is also good for your mental health.
Keep yourself dehydrated. It is a real must, water would not just act as a stress relief it will also help your skin to attain a certain glow. Add lots of liquid food and fruits to your diet. Eat healthy. As we said don't try any crash diet just days before your wedding. But try to keep away from sweet and oily food. And don't worry much about weight; try to accept yourself as you are.
Eat and keep yourself dehydrated especially on your wedding day. Not eating is the worst thing you could do to yourself on your wedding day. Hello, do you want to end up nauseous and dizzy on your own big day? Keeping your body healthy will, in turn, help you to feel relaxed.
Keep yourself surrounded by your loved ones and friends. It is really good for your mental health. If you have time go for a relaxing massage. Go for long walks.
Switch off your phone at night and stop the habit of watching TV in bed. Get sufficient sleep. Get rest for at least 8 hours every day. This will definitely relax your body and mind.
Follow these simple steps and stay positive. Trust us your wedding day will sail really smoothly and will be the best day of your life.
