"Two hearts, two cultures, one unforgettable love story. Aparna and Blake’s multicultural wedding was a vibrant fusion where Tamil tradition met American charm — a beautiful harmony of two cultures came together. From heartfelt vows and ring exchanges to savoring a traditional banana leaf lunch, every moment celebrated their love, heritage, and individuality."

1) NOT BELIEVING IN MYSELF
I could easily write a book on this topic. I think women are somehow conditioned to believe that they need to do more. Cook more, clean more, workout more, create a healthier work-life balance etc... As a result, sometimes you end up actually not believing in yourself as much as you should. So surround yourself with positive, like-minded people who uplift your spirits and cheer for you!

2) NOT RESIGNING FROM MY 9-5 JOB SOONER
I spent many years of my corporate career trying to figure out what I wanted to accomplish professionally. Although I loved my job, oftentimes I found myself running the rat race. Something inside me felt empty and I felt like I had no real purpose in life. So glad that I took a big leap of faith and continued chasing my dreams.

3) NOT INCREASING MY PRICES
Initially, to build your base in the market, most vendors keep their prices very minimal. I actually now regret doing so, because I worked too hard and got paid very little. I learnt soon enough that lowering my price would do more harm in the long run. Do your research and stay competitive in the market.

4) NOT KNOWING & VALUING MY WORTH
For the longest time, I underestimated what I brought to the table. More than a decade of experience later, I know better. I'm glad that I found my true worth and I learnt not to settle for anything less than what I deserve.

5) NOT HIRING A CORE TEAM SOONER
My team is my biggest strength. I wish I would've expanded into a bigger team sooner. They are the backbone of what I do and I am what I am because of them.

~ Client Testimonial ~

"James & I brought Ushma and her team on approximately 6 weeks prior to our multi-day, multi-cultural event. Ushma quickly learned about our nontraditional vision and connected with our vendors to help execute a perfect weekend for us, our family and friends. Her attention to detail was unmatched, from ensuring display tables were aesthetically pleasing, to vendor set ups to making sure James & I were fed and hydrated throughout the weekend. Her professionalism and service were not only noticed by the two of us but by many of our guests as well. We are thankful to have hired her team. The only change we would make if we were to do this all over again would be bring Desai Designs on sooner!"

More Than Just Mehndi ~

Bridal henna isn’t just a pre-wedding ritual—it’s a sacred expression of love, tradition, and new beginnings.

Each swirl and stroke holds meaning: prosperity, protection, and the promise of forever. Passed down through generations, yet deeply personal to every bride, henna becomes a love letter written on the skin.

At Desai Designs, we honor the beauty behind every tradition, helping you create moments that feel as meaningful as they look!

"Weddings are magical, but some couples walk away wishing they had done things differently. Here are 5 regrets couples share after the big day is over!"

1️⃣ Inviting Too Many People ~
Many couples realize they barely spent time with the people who actually matter. Instead, they were busy greeting distant relatives and acquaintances they’ll never see again.

2️⃣ Overspending on Décor & Outfits ~
That lavish floral setup or designer lehenga might have looked stunning for a day, but was it worth the cost? Some couples regret not investing more in experiences over aesthetics.

3️⃣ Not Eating Enough at Their Own Wedding ~
With all the rituals, photos, and socializing, couples often forget to enjoy the delicious food they carefully selected!

4️⃣ Not Hiring a Professional Wedding Planner ~
Many regret not having an expert to handle last-minute chaos, vendor coordination, and logistics, making their big day stressful instead of enjoyable.

5️⃣ Forgetting to Soak in the Moment ~
Between the whirlwind of events, some couples realize they didn’t take a moment to pause and enjoy their wedding—because they were too busy following a packed schedule.

The Art of Planning Indian Weddings

Planning Indian weddings is an enchanting journey that intertwines tradition, love, and creativity, creating unforgettable moments filled with cultural significance and vibrant celebrations. For me, it's more than just logistics; it's about storytelling—crafting narratives that honor heritage while celebrating love. Hemrani and McLane's nuptials hold a special significance as they mark my 100th wedding as a planner. This milestone not only represents my personal achievement but also the joy and connection found in these celebrations, having successfully coordinated over 500 events. Most Indian weddings typically feature 4-5 significant ceremonies, each adding its own charm and meaning to the festivities. As I continue on this path, I look forward to painting each wedding with vivid hues and heartfelt moments, celebrating love, life, and cultural legacy.

7 Thoughtful Ways to "Thank Your Wedding Vendors"

Expressing gratitude to your wedding vendors is essential for acknowledging their hard work in making your day special. Here are some thoughtful ways to show your appreciation:

1. Thank-You Card: A handwritten note personalized with specific mentions of their contributions can be very meaningful.

2. Send a Gift: Small tokens like chocolates or flowers can convey your appreciation.

3. Leave a Tip: If their service exceeded expectations, consider leaving a tip as a direct acknowledgment of their efforts.

4. Write a Review: Positive reviews on platforms like Yelp or Google can help vendors attract future clients.

5. Refer Them: Recommend your vendors to friends or family planning events, as word-of-mouth is invaluable.

6. Share on Social Media: Tag them in your posts to boost their visibility and show appreciation.

7. Offer to Be a Reference: Allow them to use your contact information for potential clients seeking testimonials.
