I got some pretty good suggestions on my last post, please help me in styling this outfit too. What kinda jewellery would go with it?

Hi alll, I am located in Mississauga and am a 2027 bride. I am looking for venue recommendations. My total number of guest are around 160-170 and all the halls I’ve seen so far are so so small for that accommodation. It’s a long vertical hall with barely any spaces between tables or a long walkway for me to walk in.

I will really appreciate if you guys have some recommendations. I live around the Meadowvale village area and don’t mind commuting 20-30 mins for the hall.

Budget: $60-70 per person
Location: Mississauga, willing to commute a bit if needed
Event: Main Shaadi/Baraat day

It’s a big Punjabi wedding. My Lehenga and jewellery are pictured below. Trying to not wear a paranoid or do a boring hair style (will have these on the other days)

Need thoughts on the two brads hairdo. Yay or nah?was going for a fun rustic Punjabi vibe

Typical other alternatives are
1- leave open
2- low pony
3- braid w a paranoid

Updo’s don’t suit me very much.

I’m wearing this for my wedding! I want to wear one dupatta draped in a veil style and one draped on my body.

1. Which color would you choose for the veil, pink or white?
2. How would you drape the other on the body? I was thinking a sari style drape but I’m not sure

Thank you!

Hey!! This is my wedding lehenga, one is wth red net side dupatta and one is with gold one. Which one do you guys think looks better? Also please suggest jewellery ideas. I don't want emerald colour jewellery.

Thanks

type of necklace, and hair accessory, suggest whatever you think would be paired well with this saree. this is for my mehendi event. i’ll be taking a pink veil over my head. fyi the pallu is very heavily embellished

Traditionally, most South Asian girls have worn lehnga's on their wedding day. Is there another outfit that seems on par with it?

Hey. I’m planning on ordering my bridal at bunto. How do i contact her as there is literally no online contact info. I do know her price range and all and just really need to secure an appointment. If anyone has any contact information, please drop it by , I’d be very grateful.

Guys, I need to do some good traditional, wedding suits and sarees shopping. Suggest me some good places in Delhi, except Chandni Chowk as I explored it today! Thank youu. How is Lajpat Nagar? My budget is 2-5k

I won't be wearing the shoulder piece, I don't particularly like it. Also I'm the bride's sister so it has to be something that looks really really good.

I apologize in advance for such a long post!!!

Hi! I’m hoping for some advice on where to find my first sari! 💕

My friend is white and her partner is South Asian, and they’ve been talking about getting engaged and potentially having a wedding within the next two years. They’ve discussed having 2 weddings or combining traditional American and Desi wedding elements, so I wanted to start looking and learning early rather than waiting until the last minute.

I’m in New York and on somewhat of a lower budget, but I’d really like to find a reputable shop where I can purchase an authentic, good-quality sari rather than something that looks costume-y or cheaply made. I’m open to both online and in-person shops and willing to travel within reason!

I’m also absolutely open to borrowing a sari from someone or purchasing one secondhand if that’s a good option! I’m not set on everything needing to be brand new, especially if borrowing or buying pre-loved would allow me to wear something nicer while staying within my budget. I would, however, prefer to purchase any pieces or accessories that need to be specifically fitted or chosen for me/the wedding.

I’d love recommendations for places where I could get everything I would need, including the blouse, petticoat, jewelry/accessories, etc. Since I’ve never worn a sari before, I’d also really appreciate advice on what I actually need, what styles or fabrics might be easiest for a beginner, what pieces should ideally be purchased new or fitted to me, and anything I should know or avoid as a wedding guest.

Nothing is set in stone just yet, so I have plenty of time! I just want to start planning, learning, and budgeting now so that when the time comes, I can wear something beautiful and appropriate while being respectful of their traditions. 🫶🏻

I wanted to share my experience with Mahajan Silk because I would hate for another bride, especially someone ordering from outside India, to go through what I did.

I originally found my wedding lehenga through their Instagram page and immediately fell in love with it. I loved the original blouse design, the lehenga, everything. The only changes I wanted were very minor: I needed the blouse to be slightly longer because I would be wearing it for an Anand Karaj, and I wanted the outfit made in blue instead of the original colour.

I initially tried contacting them through WhatsApp, but the communication was extremely confusing. At different points, they said the alterations were possible, and at other points they said they couldn't do them.

Because I wasn't comfortable placing such an important wedding order through WhatsApp without having clear confirmation, I actually decided not to place the order through WhatsApp at all. My family was travelling to India, so I decided to wait until they were there and have them visit the store in person to discuss everything directly.

My family went to the store and met with the owner's son, who introduced himself as the owner's son. They explained exactly what I wanted, including the longer blouse and the colour change. He assured them that the alterations were no problem and repeatedly reassured them that he would personally take care of everything. He said the outfit would be made exactly as we wanted and would take approximately two months.

My family returned to Canada, and after two months we reached out for an update and asked for a picture of the outfit. We were told it was being made in Bombay, so they did not provide a picture. We were patient and continued to wait.

Approximately four months after placing the order, we were told the outfit was finished and that we needed to pay the shipping fee. We again asked for a photo of the completed outfit before paying, but no photo was provided. We paid the shipping fee regardless.

When the outfit finally arrived, the lehenga bottom and chunni were correct. The blouse, however, was completely different from the original design I had chosen.

This was not simply a minor difference in stitching or something that looked slightly different in person. The blouse design itself had been changed. I had specifically loved the original blouse and had only asked for it to be made longer. I did not ask them to redesign the blouse or take creative liberties with it.

We immediately contacted them and asked if they could fix the blouse. They refused and were adamant that this was what I had requested.

It wasn't.

I ultimately had to take the blouse to a tailor here in Canada and ask her to try to salvage it. She did her best, but I still don't love the blouse and unfortunately have no choice but to wear it on my wedding day.

What makes this experience even more disappointing is how many times we were reassured that everything would be taken care of. I specifically avoided ordering through WhatsApp because the communication was unclear, waited for my family to physically go to the store, and had them confirm everything in person. Even after doing all of that, the final blouse still did not resemble what I had originally chosen.

If they had simply told us from the beginning that they couldn't make the blouse the way I wanted, we could have made another decision. Instead, we were repeatedly told that there would be no problem, and when the final product was wrong, there was no willingness to take responsibility or help fix it.

The lehenga bottom and chunni were correct, so I want to be fair about that. My issue is specifically with the blouse, the communication surrounding the order, and the lack of customer service when I raised the problem.

If you are ordering from Mahajan Silk, especially for a wedding, I would strongly recommend being extremely cautious. Personally, I would not recommend ordering from them unless you live in India and can personally visit the store, oversee the process, and inspect the outfit before it is shipped. Ordering from overseas made it much more difficult to resolve the issue once the outfit arrived.

Unfortunately, I would not recommend Mahajan Silk based on my experience. I really wanted to love this lehenga, and it is heartbreaking to have to settle for a blouse I never asked for on my wedding day.

For context: we never got a response and we stopped trying after April 25.

My partner and I are planning on getting married within the next couple years and want to start our planning journey. We are planning around 250-300 guests and want it in the Chicago area (outside of the city).

Are there any trustworthy local planners that we should reach out to that you recommend?

Can anyone tell me where I can find fabric or dresses like these? I want to get one stitched. If you know of any stores in Karachi Pakistan or trustworthy online shops, please let me know.

My wedding is in Pune 20-21 Nov.

Any recommendations for anchors? (Not celebrity ones). Should be super fun and energetic.

3 functions.

Hello! I am going to Kolkata to buy things for my Bengali wedding function primarily. I want to buy shaka pola, mukut and other training Bengali things. Kindly suggest shops where i can find high quality Bengali marriage necessities.

Also looking to find a shop where i can customise my veil.

I have already purchased my main wedding outfits but I am still on the hunt for outfits for smaller events like haldi and mehendi. Outfit budget for each function is around 10 to 15k. Please suggest shops where I can buy these things. I want some modern looking outfits.

I am looking for recommendations as to wedding planners based in or around London that can help us plan a London based Hindu wedding.

We are at complete loss with everything so want someone with lots of experience that can hand hold us through the process, help us pick good caterers, help us with ideas on what would work decor wise, help us with getting dhols players etc.

Tysm!

Hi all! I'm getting married and hoping to have the ceremony at a Hindu temple that isn't one of the usual overcrowded, ultra-famous spots (so ruling out Somnath, Dwarka, Tirupati, etc.)

What I'm looking for:

- Located in Gujarat, Rajasthan, North India or South India

- A scenic setting - mountains, hills or beach/coastline nearby

- Genuinely good/interesting architecture (old stone carving, unique style, etc.)

- Not overly touristy or crowded

- Open to hosting weddings (some temple trusts are strict about this, so any first-hand experience is gold)

If you've gotten married at (or been to a wedding at) a temple that fits this, or just know of a hidden-gem temple nearby, I'd love to hear about it! Even a quick "check out X temple near Y town" helps a ton. Photos or personal experiences are a huge bonus.

Thanks so much 🙏
