Have you ever wondered why an Indian bride traditionally wears red on her wedding day?

“The color red is commonly associated with love and passion. In the Indian context, red is also connected to the rising sun. Besides, according to astrology, the planet in charge of marriages, Mars, is red in color. Therefore, Hindu brides are asked to wear red during the wedding proceedings since it stands for prosperity and fertility.”
- As explained by

What do you think of wearing the color red? More and more brides are opting for less traditional colors, but all equally beautiful! Just like Dimple, I wore red on my wedding day and it’s a Hindu tradition very close to my heart.

You want guided posing on your wedding day which is exactly what this is!

Pure candids can sometimes result in unflattering facial expressions with closed eyes and lots of chins. But guided posing is when a photographer encourages you to be yourself using a variety of poses and prompts that will allow them to capture your best angles and have full control over ideal lighting situations. So find a wedding planner like me who can connect you to a photographer you connect with and trust the process!

Budgeting may be the least fun out of the whole wedding planning process but It is very important nonetheless! When creating and maintaining a wedding budget follow these simple steps:

Count the cash: take into account all the cash you have saved that you are planning to use for your wedding as well as all of the monetary gifts you have received to put towards the big day. Consult family on anything they want to add and what decision-making power that would give them.

Track Your Spending: even though it may be tedious, make sure to write down every single expense you incur throughout the whole process. No matter how small, it still is included in your wedding budget as a whole.

Choose Your Non-negotiables: sit down with your partner and discuss what things are most important to you. This in turn will give you a better grasp on what you’re willing to spend more on and what you are wanting to save money on.

Charge Responsibly: we all know it’s easy to rack up that Amazon cart with all kinds of DIY wedding details and miscellaneous wedding charges but when it comes to your budget as a whole, take into account your non-negotiables and remember what things you REALLY want to allocate your funds on. Don’t let the little things become big things as they eat up your wedding budget.

When writing vows, I would recommend spending time creating something of your own, something that will be coming from the bottom of your heart. Say what you think is important. There are no rules.
- Start early! Trust us. You will rewrite what you have many times. Give yourself at least 3-4 weeks.
- To understand what to write about, think about your loved one. What do you feel thinking about them? Who do you become in these relationships? How did you meet and understand that you cannot live without each other?
- What have you done together, and what haven’t? How do you see your life in ten years? What do you want to promise your soulmate? The answer to any of these questions will create the basis of your wedding vow.
- Do not say your vows for long. Give yourself 3-5 min max.
- Do not say anything about your exes or something that can hurt each other.
- Do not be too serious in your vows. Add something that can make your loved one smile.

Personally, food is one of my favorite fundamentals when it comes to hosting a great event. It’s not about having a five-star, four-course meal prepared by a top chef - but it IS about serving your guests a proportionate amount of food relative to how long they’ll be in your company. A two-hour cocktail reception will mean a lighter amount of food than a six-hour dinner reception. An evening reception will likely have more courses than a brunch reception. Know your budget and serve your guests the best food for your investment. If you’re worried about the budget, do what you can to cut back on the guest list. This will have the BIGGEST impact on your wedding budget.

Every step matters
Every move matters
Every breath matters
Every detail, every picture, each and every moment matters

The decisions you take while planning your wedding will matter
Listen to your heart, feel it, and let it all matter
This will be one of your greatest journey and the memories you create will last forever

How amazing would it be if you had someone on board helping you make the decisions that mattered?
How wonderful would it feel, to know that you are supported?
How magical would it be, when you see your big vision come to life while standing in the middle of the dance floor with your spouse?

Choosing the right wedding planner matters, so know that we will have your back each and every steps of the way
Be ready to experience it ALL!

I love the bottle green color of these bridesmaids’ lehengas . Communicating your bridal party outfit vision to a boutique can be challenging. It’s best to set yourself for success by bringing exact images of what you would like and realistically understanding how similar it will look within your budget. If you like a picture but want it in a different shade, bring a picture of that exact shade too. Asking them to create it in “dark green” can mean many different things. Remember, you can customize anything.

On your wedding day, time will somehow manage to speed by a million. The excitement and anticipation of it all is an amazing feeling!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Take a moment to think of your future, wedding-day self. What are they feeling? What are they doing? What are they excited for?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm willing to bet that none of those thoughts involve:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Giving directions to a lost bus driver⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Setting up tables and chairs⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Finding out why the baker hasn't delivered your cake yet⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Bossing around your wedding party to keep things running on schedule⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Trying to find your uncle for family photos⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Running up a flight of stairs to cue your musicians right before you walk down the aisle⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Spending the last 20 minutes of Cocktail Hour reviewing the reception flow with your caterer, DJ or band⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These are ALL things that a wedding planner can take care of for you. It's about having someone on your team who has your back and will let you be where it's most important: with your new spouse and your guests.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

There's no rule book stating that you must have a ratio of 1:1 bridesmaids and groomsmen. Choose the people in your life that mean something to you and will provide the energy (not the drama) you need throughout this journey. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If that means your sides are uneven, it doesn't matter. The photos won't look weird. Your joy is their joy too!

A table is a place of gathering where you will create and recall memories closest to your heart. This is where your guests will enjoy their meal and mingle with others around them while sitting with each other. Although guests are focused on hitting the dance floor at a reception, an elegant table is where they will gather. During your special event, make your centerpiece a topic of conversation, one that will last for years to come.
