Like a ray of sunshine ❤️

During the golden hour, the soft, warm light creates a beautiful and romantic atmosphere perfect for a wedding photoshoot. The golden hour occurs during the hour just after sunrise and the hour just before sunset, when sun is low in the sky and casts a golden hue over everything it touches!

When the planner is the bride ❤️

"I ditched all the traditional colors and opted to wear RED for my MEHENDI. This gorgeous outfit was purchased from in 2016. I paired it with white floral jewelry. This was by far my FAVORITE outfit from my wedding collection"

Should I pair it with a plain white crop top and wear it again?

Indian bridal henna, also known as mehndi, is a traditional art form that involves applying intricate designs on a bride's hands, arms, and feet using a paste made from henna leaves. The designs typically include intricate patterns and floral motifs, and are meant to symbolize joy, beauty, and spiritual awakening.

Bridal henna is an important part of Indian weddings, with the bride usually getting henna applied a few days before the wedding ceremony. It is to bring good luck and blessings the bride, as well as ward off evil spirits.

In addition to the bride, female relatives and friends also often get henna designs done for the wedding festivities. The process of applying henna can take several hours, and the designs usually last for about one to two weeks.

Client Testimonial 💖
Akash + Chandni

"We hit the jackpot with Ushma! Our very first and best decision we made for wedding planning was getting Ushma and Desai Designs on board. Ushma is wonderful at all she does, and her team works seamlessly to make your dream event come true! Ushma was there to help us every step of the way - from finalizing vendors, offering creative ideas for our events, attending vendor meetings with us…it felt like she became a part of our family by the end of it. She is a jack of all trades, and it truly shows through her work and dedication. She takes the time to understand what your vision is, and prioritizes what is important for you, which helps personalize your events, all while keeping your options budget friendly. She is very personable and made sure our guests were well informed of the logistics for events, which was very well appreciated by our guests. She was always available for questions and went above and beyond to accommodate all of our needs ..... "

Just like that ..... it's time to celebrate our 100th wedding this June !!! Although success cannot be measured simply by numbers, it is certainly a MILESTONE worth celebrating ✨️

~ launched company in 2010
~ part-time planner from 2010 to 2022
~ full-time planner since 2022

As a wedding planner, every event is special and unique in its own way. But there's something extra special about planning the 100th wedding for my company. It's a milestone that showcases not only the success and longevity of my business but also the trust and confidence that each couple has placed in me to bring their dream day to life.

Planning a wedding is no small feat. It requires attention to detail, creative flair, and outstanding organizational skills. And when it comes to planning the 100th wedding, there's even more pressure to make it perfect. But with experience on my side and a team of talented vendors to support me, I know we can pull off an event that will be remembered for years to come !!!

Attending the PWP Live in Miami, FL was an AMAZING experience. Coach hosted a 2.5 day conference exclusively for WEDDING PLANNERS. We learned about systems, processes, sales, marketing and so much more. Meeting fellow wedding planners from across the nation and engaging in meaningful conversations with them was = INVALUABLE. I'm so excited to implement what I've learned !!!

So grateful to have had this opportunity to network with like-minded professionals who believe in supporting, encouraging, and uplifting each other!

Choosing an off beat color dress for your Indian wedding can be a bold and unique choice that will make you stand out. Here are some unconventional color options you can consider:

1. Lavender: A soft and delicate shade of purple, lavender is a romantic and elegant choice for a wedding dress.

2. Mint green: This refreshing and whimsical color is perfect for a breezy summer wedding. Opt for a mint green lehenga or saree with intricate floral embroidery for a fresh and feminine look.

3. Coral: A vibrant and lively hue, coral is a great choice for a fun and festive wedding celebration. Pair it with gold jewelry and accessories for a rich and luxurious look.

4. Slate blue: A sophisticated and understated color, slate blue is a versatile option that works well for both indoor and outdoor weddings.

5. Mustard yellow: This bold and bright color is perfect for a traditional Indian wedding. Opt for a mustard yellow anarkali or lehenga with intricate embellishments for a striking and eye-catching look.

Don't be afraid to break tradition and go for a non-traditional color that speaks to you and makes you feel beautiful on your special day.

Our Day of Coordination Services are a lifesaver for couples who do not have a budget for a full-service planner or manage to plan their wedding on their own, but choose to leave the day of the nitty-gritty to be executed by a professional wedding planner. This package focuses on creating detailed timelines, conducting a vendor walkthrough meeting, coordinating final logistics with the venue, and managing complete onsite ex*****on.

1. Emotional connection: The first look allows couples to have a private, intimate moment to connect with each other before the ceremony. It can be a chance to calm nerves, share a special embrace, or simply remind each other of the love and support they have for one another.

2. Capturing the moment: The first look is often a highly emotional moment that makes for beautiful and candid photos. It's a chance for the photographer to capture raw, genuine emotions as the couple sees each other for the first time on their wedding day.

3. Time together: The wedding day is often hectic and filled with activities, so the first look provides a quiet moment for the couple to spend alone together before the celebrations begin. It's a chance to soak in the moment and savor the love they share.

Oonjal ceremony is a traditional ritual that is a significant part of Tamil weddings. During the oonjal ceremony, the bride and groom are seated on a swing that is beautifully decorated with flowers and garlands. The swing is then gently rocked by female relatives and friends, symbolizing the support and love that the couple will receive from their family and friends throughout their marriage.

As the couple sits on the swing, they are usually fed sweets and fruits by their family members, who offer them blessings and well-wishes for a happy and prosperous married life. The oonjal ceremony is a joyous occasion filled with singing, dancing, and laughter, and it is a memorable moment for the bride and groom as they begin their journey together as a married couple!

"Ushma went above and beyond in helping coordinate our wedding. She not only helped in the days leading up to the wedding with all the small details, but her and her team helped make sure each and every guest, including us, had a great experience while they attended our events. Ushma and her team ensured that we got everything we wanted out of the wedding experience from the photos we wanted, to all the family time we needed to feel stressfree & happy. So happy we had her there and wouldn't trade the memories we made together for anything!"

Thrilled to have hosted my 2nd private networking social at the beautiful in the heart of Buckhead.
