To all Sisters and Friends @ a Wedding

This post is dedicated to my sisters and friends. Thank you for all the help!

Being the eldest daughter I have actually held each and every sister of mine, so when the time for my wedding came I commanded and demanded things from them without thinking whether or not they want to do it. My baby sisters did not once say 'no'.

I am today extremely happy of the support and love each of them gave me...I remember during Vidaii it was one of my youngest sister that came up to me to wipe my tears..

It is however not the orders that I asked them to do or the things that I expected that make me so grateful to have them, it is the one tiny unexpected thing they did that make me love them more then ever...

While I was on stage every time I got a bit nervous or was surrounded by a pool of strangers and needed a familiar face I would look to my left and one of them would always be there.

It was much later, after the wedding that I found out my sisters had taken the decision to take shifts and not leave me alone, one or two of them would always be sitting around incase I needed anything.

My Friends played there part perfectly as well! Thank you for making me dance to my heart content, for being by my side when I was uncomfortable, for running with me to the balcony to see the baraat, and for being there always! We may not be related by blood but our as close to me as my sisters

And finally to you, my childhood friend, my sister, the maid-of-honor (slave-of-honor) you kind of fit into both the categories but a mention of you separately is essential! I shall not say a formal Thank you to you, with you I take everything for granted, I am the burden that you have to carry :P

--

So if your friends/sisters weddings coming up, be there for the Bride!
Remember even if you think your support might go unnoticed and unappreciated trust me the bride see's it all and in her hearts of heart even if she doesn't say it she appreciates every small help...

and it goes without saying when your time comes her experience will help you...

Other Online inspirations for sisters and friends :

how about a loud blouse and a simple plain saree

or maybe a quirky one?

Post Wedding : Trousseau

On popular demand here are few pictures of my trousseau.
I tend to be very simple in my every day wear, don't be fooled by my wedding looks, but my in-laws love bling so my trousseau is a bit of mixture of both!

This is probably the first Saree I brought for my wedding, I had an eye on this from even before the wedding was fixed!
Wore it on Pag-Phera

After putting all the pictures together I have come to realize that I have been wearing the same sweater through out! every where! and the same footwear too! I think I really like these two......must remember to wear something different next time!

That's it for now, I do have a LOT of other things as well. You guys will be updated on it as and when I wear them.

Tiny Tip :

 If your confused what to buy for your trousseau take a mix of stuff. Things you like, things your in-laws would like and things that are in fashion. Even if your adamant that you will wear only what you like because that is the only thing that 'suits' you, think again.

So you HATE what people gifted you, what were they thinking when they gave you such a saree....they were thinking how happy you'll be on receiving it.

You don't have to go out of your way to wear it any where and every where. Wear that saree when you go to visit the saree-gifting-person.

And what if the unliked-saree was given to you by your in-laws, well the first few weeks are the best time to wear them because most of that time you'll be at home away from public eyes and still be expected to be dressed up like a million buck, plus it will make your in-laws super happy to see you wear something they gave and in-directly make your husband happy, and isn't that what we want...
