Hi, I am New here!

Hi!

So did you just land on Crazy Indian Wedding ?! We are excited to see you here, and hope to see more of you in the future!

I know it can get quite confusing and overwhelming when you first visit a blog. So here are few points and posts that you can read to get yourself familiar :


A little about me : 
Hi, I am Roli Gaur Vashisht aka Crazy Indian Bride.

PS : I am also a designer, See my label here

I started this blog on 25th June, 2012; 5 months before my wedding (well 5 months minus 1 day). The blog was just meant as an outlet for all the wedding information that was bursting out of my head and as a diary for me to keep as a memory of my wedding days.

Even though I tied the knot on 24th November, 2012 the blog continues to help other bride-to-be and ease in the new bride/bahu into her new home.

Enough about me, now Get to know the Blog :

1. My first Post : I feel whenever you need to find out a bloggers journey its best to start at the very beginning.

The Year That Was...Flashback 2013

The year started with uploads of all my wedding files, from what my wedding was about to, how it went. From the Pooja, Tilak, Haldi, Mehendi to The Wedding Day!

The year also saw me going emotional for the first time on the blog, with me reliving the wedding moments as a bride. Telling you how I felt to be a Bride, word by Word

The blog needed a bit of re-invention once I got married. After all, how ever hard I try, it will be very difficult for me to get back in the mind frame where not finding the perfect nail-paint shade would have meant end of the world. But giving up on you guys wasn't an option, so while I still continue to obsess over the perfect red lehenga for my dream destination wedding on my 10th anniversary, I also decided to pass along a bit of advice from beyond the wedding day. So the blog now not only focuses on the bride but the New Bahu as well.

My Pinterest Wedding

When I first found out about Pinterest I was like "what would I do with it!?" I have Facebook for everything, Twitter for everything else and a blog to post things on (read copy other peoples pictures and say 'wow I love this!' )

But doesn't every new social media start off like that.

" I dont want to move from Hi5, all my school friends are here!"

"Facebook!? what the hell is that? I am happy with Orkut, Facebook, or whatever its called, will NEVER ever beat it, mark my words!"

"Twitter?! What will people do with twitter? You can just write a status on it, no body can keep writing status all day long"

I guess Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram all are co-existing right now. Only difference now is that Facebook has become more of a family place than a cool hangout. (is that just me or do you agree?!)

Anyways, I did get around understanding the beauty of Pinterest and how you can make a perfect inspiration boards using it.

I don't really go around different sites pinning things but I do re-pin a LOT, I go crazy re-pinning at times.

My Pinterest account has quite a lot of pins by now, but if I had to put it in a nutshell then my Pinterest Wedding would look like this :

Who is the Crazy Indian Bride?

Crazy Indian Wedding started as a distraction from all the wedding maddness. Once my wedding date was fixed I quit my job and spent all my time planning and getting ready for the BIGGEST day of my life!

The days leading upto the wedding I had just one project 'Mission Marriage' and hence the birth of of this blog. I gathered so much information that I decided to help the brides in need. Even though I tied the knot on 24th Nov. 2012 the blog continues and so does my mission to help Brides-to-be!

While I am not blogging, or thinking about what to blog, I sit down in my gold n pink studio and design for my recently launched label ROLI GAUR VASHISHT. You can find out more on its facebook page https://www.facebook.com/RoliGaurVashisht

And sometimes when I should really be either writing a blog post or working on a clients dress, I procrastinate and waste my time here : https://www.youtube.com/rgvLove

Wedding Event 6.2 : The Big Fat Indian Wedding Part 2

Although its not necessary to read part one to understand Part 2, but none the less check it out at http://www.crazyindianwedding.com/2013/01/wedding-event-5-big-fat-indian-wedding.html

BARAT

I was ready by the time the barat came and was eagerly waiting, so much so that I kept peaking out to look at the firecrackers from the barat! If that wasn't enough I figured out a window from where I could see the whole baraat and took all my sisters and friends with me. So there was a group of girls peeking from a jaroka two floors up hidden in the darkness..

My Brothers picked up 'the boy' on their shoulders from his raat upto where my mom was standing at the gate ready with an aarti ki thali.

He was then welcomed onto the stage by bangra and rajisthani group dancers dancing in front of him all the way and then ofcourse neither him nor the rest of the baraat could resist joining in the dance ;)

MY ENTRY

I had been debating since forever how to make my entry 'different' but somehow till the end it was difficult to come up with a solution, I didn't want any palki or to appear on a moon like brides do these days.

So I opted for something traditional...

I walked in on the Instrumental of Jashney Bahara from Jodha Akhar, under a phoolo ki chaddar decorated with kalireys held by my brothers, with my sisters carrying diya lit thali's and my friends behind me.

VARMALA

The boy came to receive me at the stairs, which was followed by varmala and a shower of rose petals. The rose petals would just not stop! They kept on pouring and pouring till it felt like we were standing in a pool of roses.

Bloopers :

Having double chunni looks super pretty its just everytime I tried to sit down somebody had to help me pull it up and arrange it properly.

My hair and my bindi's did'nt quite agree with each other and by the end I had quite a few bindi's that had fallen off.

PHOTOGRAPHER

Although the Barat was on time we had a LOT of people waiting to get pictures clicked with us, which left us with no time in the end to get our 'couple' pictures clicked and photographer from both sides fighting did'nt help either. In the end I am glad that we both had time to get our individual pictures clicked earlier on and have enough candid pictures to keep us going.

Dinner

I guess I am one of the few Brides that can say I eat a LOT on my wedding day! By the end everyone was asking me to hurry up as I had to change for phera's and we were getting late!

By the end these 'katorie' were out and more new katorie's with different dishes replaced them, plus I had a slice of Domino's pizza. We did'nt have a lot of time left for dessert so I just had the ones that had chocolate in it ;P which were quite a lot! loved the chocolate tart!

Phera's

I changed for the phera's and wore a lehenga saree.

There were kambal and chhadar all around, when I entered everyone was tucked in and the mandap was in center , it looked like a huge slumber party!

Everyone was soo sleepy during kanyadan! specialy me and my father! We were about to call for coffee in between, my mother scolded us and said we cant and asked us to concentrate, this is the most important part of the wedding!

Joota churai and Vidaai

I wasn't present when the negotiation happened but I found out later that 'the boy' had given my sisters chocolates along with shagun for the 'joota' which I found extremely sweet.

I changed into a magenta saree from the groom side for vidaai.

Blooper : I had so much stuff in my hand during vidai that when I had to throw the rice back I ended up throwing it on my own head!

CLOTHES

I changed thrice that day and had all solah shinghar.

Main Lehengha from Fountier Bazaar, Karol Bagh

Phera ki Saree : Lehengha Saree, Sabyasachi design

Vidaii ki Saree, from Chabra 555, karol bagh

HAIR

At the end I decided for a long choti with parandi and gajra's for my hair.

MAKEUP

I used the same makeup artist through out and was very happy with her work!

start of the event

At the end, makeup remained pretty much the same though out, my lipstick faded a bit but in all fairness I  eat a lot and my nath kept rubbing it off so won't really blame the MUA for it.

I left for my 'sasural' by 4am and the wedding day ended in as a successful event. In the end I can say that even though I expected somethings to go wrong they did not and I ended up with a dream wedding which I didn't even know I had dreamt off....

Wedding Event 6.1 : The Big Fat Indian Wedding part 1

Since this event was huge it is hard to put it in just one post..so sit down relax and enjoy reading..

Decoration and Caterer

We sat down with the decorator and Caterer more than 6 months before the wedding. Having the whole family there had its advantages. With all of us present to discuss what kind of decoration we wanted and what kind of event we expected it was a pleasant surprise when we found out we had a common vision.

And seeing that vision being brought to life was probably the best wedding gift...

None of us had expected it to be so huge, even when we discussed what we wanted we just told our decorator our wildest dream wedding, the whole big fat Indian wedding package, all royal and Indian-y.

He sent us drawings of how the stage and entrance would look, after going through it all we thought "this is probably how it will feel like, he will construct something similar." Because to create what he had sent us on an empty field was something next to impossible.

As for food the caterer is an old family friend and had catered at most of our family event before, his paneer is to die for! so when he gave us the menu we just told him to do what he wants.

Everything else from how the tree's would be decorated, what should be placed where, every details was discussed in details till the last day!

2 days before the wedding I remember calling up the caterer and telling him that I wanted cotton candy at the wedding and if it wasn't to much trouble and he made that possible too.

Wedding is an extensive project on its own and needs to be followed up till the last day!

The day of the wedding we reached around noon at the venue and to our surprise we could see our dream turn to reality...

Entertainment

My dad was very clear that the wedding should be a reflection of our culture and should keep the guest entertained at all time. After all only few people are actually interested in the bride and groom the rest are just there for the food and because social etiquette demands them to be. I know it sounds bad to the bride who demands all attention on her D-day but its true.

Our Wedding took place in a mandir complex and hence recorded 'filmy' songs weren't aloud, so no DJ. This infact started as a road block but ended up being a advantage because it intrigued our imagination and forced us to think.

We called in a Bangra troop, Rajisthani dancers and shahanai players.

When people entered the wedding they were greeted by Live Shahanai players, as they entered the main wedding area there was a jugal bandi going on between Rajisthani dancers and bangra troop. In between there was a dhol wala playing in the grounds.

There was a fire show, a rajisthani dancer dancing with matki's on her head, a khulhad ki chai wala roaming around.

Pagdi wala

We called in a pagdi wala to tie padgdi for all men of the house. So before the baraat came everyone had matching padgi.
