OFFICIAL Indian 'Desi' Wedding Thread

Original post by riniko

Hi all,

I have had the opportunity to meet a handful of LIW South Asian (Indian) brides as well as non-Indians marrying Indians through LIW.

Everyone can participate in the thread but some of us felt it would be helpful to share information to fellow Indian (or Desi) brides out there.

If you all are for it, we can post info that will help each other on it. Like DJs, makeup artists, clothing resources, etc etc.

Take care!

We're using Bellarino.....it's hard with photo & video, because there are so many moments in our weddings that are soo important to capture, you really don't know if the video/photo guy will get them.

Anyway, we loved meeting with Phil at Bellarino and have had a great experience working with him so far. We plan on giving him/showing him from a friends video....moments that we really need on video, and hopefully that'll help.

hello everyone. wow, i must say the amount of pages was/is overwhelming. i want to wish all of you the best of luck and amazing ceremonies.

im writing here because i have a bit of a dilemma. Im Turkish and in the Turkish culture we have a Henna night right before our wedding ceremony. During this Henna night, the bride to be MUST wear all red. I am in LOVEEEEEEE LOVE LOVE with the desi weddings and would LOVE to wear a beautifully beaded red and gold sari on my Henna night. However, i cannot afford the hefty price most of these gorgeous outfits cost. I was wondering if you guys could help me.

I would like to know where and IF i could rent one? Or maybe a place where I can buy an inexpensive sari?

please pm me or email me at [email protected] thank you so much in advance for all of your help

xoxo



I'm not sure you can rent a really nice sari like that. There are a bunch of stores in Hicksville, Jackson Heights (queens), and Edison, NJ......and like anything else, shop around a bit. I think the price depends on how much work your looking for on it as well as the material. Good luck =)

i had a red sari with some gold work for my e-party (pics are in album) which i got for a little over $100, which is very cheap for a sari, just shop around and let the salespeople know what ur budget is. i bought mine in jackson heights
