OFFICIAL Indian 'Desi' Wedding Thread

Original post by riniko

Thread views: 546,992

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!

Riniko,

Yes I did, and I do NOT recommend them. Read the official National Floral thread.

Does anyone know where I can get a blouse made for a sari? I am hoping there is some place in Hicksville that does this. Do you know how much it would cost? TIA.

There are few places in hicksville I know of, BUT i highly recommend Jackson Tailor in Jackson Heights. They'll do a PERFECT Job for $30.

ALL the other places i've heard of and been to, are no where close to perfect and they charge the same or more!

Jackson Tailor are real professionals from India, and they can really do any style for you - in a week or 2 max.

I have to agree. Jackson Tailor did a great job with my blouses.

If you click on proofs, you'll be able to check out the weddings he's done. The first one 'Amit and Danish' is a Hindu wedding.
