TIPS for BRIDES for D-day!
[SAVE this post for later]

1] MUSIC - play soft calming music or fun peppy music during your hair-makeup appt. It'll calm your nerves and set the mood for the day.

2] PHOTOSHOOT - ask your photographer to take detailed shots of your wedding outfit and jewelry the day before.

3] HAIR-MAKEUP - schedule your mom's hair-makeup appointment at the same time as yours. This will ensure she's perfectly ready for your "getting ready photos"

4] ROBE - wear a robe or a button down shirt for your hair-makeup appt, so it's easy to take off. Bonus tip, put your feet up and hydrate!

5] HAIR - some hair stylists recommend NOT washing your hair the morning of your wedding. This actually gives you more volume and texture vs clean fine hair. Ask your stylist for his/her preference.

6] RESTROOM - use the restroom before you step into your saree or lehenga. You'll be so glad you did (trust me)

7] OVERCROWDED ROOM - do yourself a favor and don't allow too many people to enter your bridal suite. Too many opinions will spoil your look. Also, your core team of vendors such as your makeup artist, photographer, videographer, planner .... actually know best. Trust their opinions! (They kinda do this for a living 😉)

8] PREPPING - finalize all your hair-makeup looks ahead of time. Print pics of your favorite henna designs and keep them ready. Arrange your bangles and pack your jewelry in separate boxes! Don't forget to pack extra push backs!

9] EAT - it is so important for a bride to eat a good breakfast the morning of your wedding (unless you're fasting). Keep in mind, you won't have lunch until 1.30 or 2pm. And you'll be up since 3am or 4am!

10] EMERGENCY KIT - bobby pins, safety pins, fashion tape, advil, bindi ...... the list goes on. Pack a small pouch of all emergency essentials and keep it ready for your big day. If you've hired a good wedding planner (like me 😉), she'll have everything you need in her pouch as well.

Venue Coordinator:
1. A venue coordinator is your primary contact with the venue. Their main role is to oversee the logistics and operations of the venue itself.
2. They typically focus on tasks related to the venue, such as getting the event space ready per the layout, setting up your bars, and ensuring that vendors have access to load-in and load-out.
3. They usually do not assist with tasks outside of the venue, such as creating a timeline, coordinating with vendors, or managing the overall flow of the wedding day.

Wedding Coordinator:
1. A wedding coordinator is hired by the couple to assist with the overall planning and coordination of their wedding day. They work independently of the venue and are focused on managing all aspects of the wedding.
2. They help with tasks such as creating a wedding timeline, coordinating with vendors, managing RSVPs, and overseeing the logistics of the entire event.
3. They are responsible for ensuring that all elements of the wedding day run smoothly and according to plan, from start to finish.

In summary, a venue coordinator primarily focuses on the logistics of the venue itself, while a wedding coordinator oversees all aspects of the wedding day. Couples often hire a wedding coordinator in addition to the venue coordinator to ensure all details of the event are coordinated seamlessly!

{ Teamwork Makes the Dream Work }

💜 These extraordinary women have left an indelible mark on my heart, embodying dedication, love, and an unmatched spirit of teamwork.

💜 Their commitment has turned weekends into opportunities filled with passion and determination. The love, understanding, support, and patience they offer are the very pillars that uphold our collective dreams, strengthening our team and making us resilient in the face of challenges.

💜 I often reflect on how their unconditional love fuels my passion and success. In difficult times, their understanding provides a comforting presence that guides me through. Their unwavering support reminds me that I'm never alone in my journey, empowering me to take risks and strive for greatness. It's a safety net that encourages growth, allowing me to learn without the fear of judgment.

💜 To these incredible women, I extend my heartfelt gratitude. They have taught me the true meaning of teamwork and have played a crucial role in shaping who I am today. I am forever grateful.

Q: Hi Ushma, what is the most important factor behind your success?

A: The most important factor behind the success of my company is my positive mindset, never-give-up attitude and relentless hard work. Having a good postive mindset is extremely important because quite frankly no one wakes up feeling motivated every morning. I derive motivation from watching an inspiring movie, listening to a meaningful podcast or reading a good book. I also like surrounding myself with people who constantly uplift my spirits and believe in me. My never-give-up attitude comes from my personal life experiences and I live by the mantra of giving my 200% to everything I do. Lastly, I do what I do with a good intention (trust me that goes a long way!)

Anum-Ammaar's Engagement 💍

~ Client Testimonial ~

"Choosing Ushma as the planner for my engagement party was one of the best decisions I made! From the start, Ushma brought an unmatched level of professionalism and expertise, ensuring that every aspect of the event was executed flawlessly. During our initial consultation, she took the time to really listen to my vision and offered invaluable insights that elevated the entire experience. Each detail, no matter how big or small, was handled with impeccable organization and precision, which allowed me to completely relax and fully enjoy the moment.

What truly set Ushma apart, however, was her genuine warmth and hospitality. She made the planning process feel effortless and enjoyable, and her presence on the day of the event was nothing short of calming.

The dedication Ushma showed was extraordinary. Despite her own daughter performing at Disney World the night of my engagement, Ushma made the effort to fly back into Atlanta the morning of my event. She honored her commitment to me—made 11 months prior—and ensured that every element of the celebration was nothing less than perfect. This level of dedication and professionalism is incredibly rare, and I cannot commend Ushma enough for it.

Ushma’s team was also outstanding. They were proactive, attentive, and always one step ahead, managing adjustments with ease and keeping the evening running smoothly.

Thanks to Ushma and her amazing team, my engagement party was everything I dreamed of and more. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone looking for a planner who combines skill, passion, creativity, organization, professionalism, and a team that truly cares. Ushma made my engagement party truly unforgettable!"

"Weddings are a celebration of love, life and so much more and therefore engaging with my clients, understanding their needs and building long lasting relationships with them is very important to me. Likewise, over the past decade I’ve had the pleasure of working with some incredibly talented wedding professionals in and around Atlanta and I truly enjoy collaborating with them and creating unforgettable memories for all my clients. My experience and expertise in coordinating events; allows them to sit back, relax and enjoy their special day. 

If I'm not planning a wedding, our next family vacation or a girls trip .... you will find me baking with my lovely daughter or binge watching a Netflix show with my wonderful husband. I'm forever grateful to both of them as well as my friends and families who motivate me, support me and encourage me to follow my vision and chase my dreams."
