Planning an Indian wedding is no easy feat. There are many, many things to keep in mind when organizing and planning this special occasion – the venue, the guest list, the color scheme, floral arrangements, and of course – the videographer.

Indian weddings are incomplete without wedding dance performances. Sure, there are guests who don’t need a stage to go crazy with their shaadi wala dance but choreographed performances can make the day even more memorable. Everyone anticipates the newlyweds, parents, or loved ones dancing their hearts out, joyfully celebrating the union of love, and these dances always steal the show. Not to mention how much fun it is to prepare and practice your performances with your friends and family throughout those frantic wedding preparations. In order for your first dance to go off without a hitch, the music, the choreography, the venue—it all needs to be carefully considered. Read a full breakdown on our website

“When you first start and look at all the products on the list, you're like, “Oh my god, this is super overwhelming.” Because I felt that way just back in October when I started doing my at-home routine. But it's become so easy and so second nature for me. And so that's what [to my clients]. I just say, consider it your self-care. A little bit in the morning, little love in the evening, and then you're done." Read our full interview with

From : I have been a henna artist since my childhood. When I was a little girl, I used to doodle a lot. My whole family is into the henna business and when my sister used to teach mehndi to her students, I would doodle and explore Mehndi designs with the leftover cones. So, that is the secret behind my artistry. From there on, I kept practicing. With social media these days, you have huge exposure to improve your designs and create using your own imagination as well. Read the whole post on our blog

Let's talk about your bridal bouquet! The process of selecting florals as a whole can be tough but some tips to remember include:

🌸Try to go for what's in season. Not only may this lower your cost but also you will have the freshest looking, most beautiful flowers

🌸Don't be afraid to experiment with other materials and textures! Feathers, pearls, fabric and more this will all look beautiful when it comes together with the flowers and can help tie in your decor well.

🌸You do not have to go with flowers if you don't want to, just greens can also be very beautiful!

🌸Remember to have fun with your bouquet and the little details when it comes to your big day.

The traditional Indian wedding usually involves a grand ceremony, elaborate receptions, huge meals, bartering and dowry negotiations, the list goes on. Although these elements of the celebrations are admirable cultural and social norms, they do not always align with the values of couples who are interested in maintaining environmental sustainability. To them, a marriage is not only a contract between two people but also an agreement between society at large and the natural world. In this blog, we brings you the story of , an ecopreneur and environmentalist who dealt with balancing her desire to wed organically while fulfilling her vision of a fairytale wedding in India.

Indian weddings are a whole new world of colors and textures, each as unique as the country itself. And, when it comes to celebrating a truly Indian wedding, only a wedding photographer trained in capturing images in this milieu will do. Although it's not the most talked about aspect of planning an Indian wedding, photography plays a big role in capturing the moments that mark this special occasion. The best way to make your wedding unforgettable is to capture the true essence of the celebrations in photographs. To do this, you need a photographer who understands Indian culture, knows how to get those perfect shots, and is comfortable / fun to work with.

To help you make an informed decision, we have created a guide to everything you should know and consider before hiring a photographer for your Indian wedding. Check it out on our site!

About Me

Hello, I'm Arjita Shrimali, currently a Jersey City resident but a Longhorn at heart!

In 2019, My husband and I (and our families) spent 11 months planning our destination wedding in Jaipur, India. It was our fairy tale wedding, but it was also the most stressful event we had planned. My parents wanted to throw us a reception back home in Texas, so we returned from our wedding and started planning our third reception. While it turned out to be loads of fun and many of our vendors were amazing, the venue and the decor did not turn out as glamorous as we had expected them to be.

I wish it had been easier to find the best vendors, read their reviews and understand pricing all in one place, but searching for vendors was quite tedious and often through word of mouth or stalking Instagram posts.

Hence, The Desi Bride was born. The Desi Bride is a one stop platform for couples planning South Asian weddings to learn about & curate the best vendors in their wedding location with price transparency. Please visit The Desi Bride to start finding the best wedding vendors today!
