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!

Who are you girls using for the mehendi?



We actually had a lot of fun at the mendhi. My aunts bought a bunch of mendhi pens and everybody was putting mendhi on each other, including me. You will be surprised at the artistic ability of some of your friends and family with mendhi. It was soooooooo much fun and I'm glasd that we didn't hire a mendhi artist. That's a good idea as well, because it gets everyone involved and all the mendhi came out beautiful!



That sounds like so much fun. The day i get my mehendi done will be a small affair so maybe we can do that.

The problem is both FH and I are doing the sangeet together which will be so many people
and we need the lady for the party.





We had about 30-40 girls at my mendhi party and every person there got mendhi on either their hands or feet.

Don't Worry!!!!

When you worry then you go crazy and our families already make us crazy so why go further. I was nervous, but I realized that what's meant to happen, will happen and there is nothing you can do about it.

So just try and SAVOR THESE DAYS, because there will be nothing ever like them again!!! Enjoy your family, enjoy the events and trust me when I say this, ALL WILL WORK OUT IF YOU BELIEVE IT WILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You click on quote at the bottom of the post



Im having my wedding at the Sterling. I actually did not go for any food tasting since i have been there a couple of times, and their food is very good. Maybe I might do that when it comes closer..

What are you guys doing for the limos? I just got a quote for $1000 for two limos dropping me (and bms) and FH (and gm) to the hall and then one limo picking us up from the hall to the hotel at the end of the night.

Is that reasonable


Im still confused as to what to do about limo. My parents say that FH family should be taking care of the limo. I dont think I'll be going to the hall in a limo, since I will be getting there an hour early for pictures. I was telling FH to book a limo to go from hall to hotel, but I dont know if his family will want to do that...
