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!

I've got a question..I need my hair and makeup done for two events, two separate days. I went to find out and the woman quoted me $850. $300 for the first day since I would go to the salon myself, and $550 for her to come out to NJ for the second event. Does that sound about right??



yeah sounds about right.. i used this girl from NJ for my engagement and she charged me $600 and ginni is phenomenal!!!

We are doing a mix of indian and afghan food..since afghan food is a lil less spicy, yet still has an authentic taste :)

cake is something I will have to look into also. But I want an inexpensive cake. I am def not looking into spending more than $200 on a cake. any suggestions?? and im thinking of getting a simple white cake so it wont cost too much. And then just have my decorator decorate with fresh flowers

daisies are pretty cheap as well. and i think roses may not be so expensive either. just make sure to got with flowers in season to keep the cost down.
