Real Wedding Jewelry, Store Review : Tanishq Vs Mehrasons Vs Kalyan

Warning : This review may be biased, because I love Tanishq. Also no one is paying me to write this, although I wish they were :/

My number one choice of wedding jewelry or rather any kind of jewelry would be Tanishq, somehow I can always find something there, and me and my mom have been shopping from there since a long time, we probably even know which design launched when, we are that loyal; and not wrongly so, I have never so far had any problem with any of their jewelry, I have absolutely no complaints, I love the designs they have and am more than happy that they have come up with jewelry at lower price range for everyday/work wear.

The necklace and the earrings, in the picture, are from Tanishq (South Ex. Part 1, Delhi) whereas the mang tikka and nath is from Mehrasons (South Ex. Part 2, Delhi). I LOVE my mangtikka and nath, absolutely in love with them, more than my set. It gives me great pain to say this but Mehrasons has better designs and way more variety than Tanishq, but...

Crazy Indian REAL Bride : Shaista

As Told by the Bride, Shaista

Two people that couldn't be more poles apart in terms of personalities. Ali a very organized, excel-sheet driven individual; whereas I, Shaista on the other hand couldn't be bothered about keeping a tab on things, write things on napkins and live spontaneously! 

So How did you guys meet?

It was quite funny how Ali and I met. I had graduated from Indiana university not too long ago and moved out to Los Angeles for work. I came home and switched on my computer to see a notification of someone named 'Ali' checking out my profile on the then famous 'orkut' (Oh I remember that feature, facebook should have it too, ..err...no maybe not, stalking won't be fun anymore if that happens)

I went on to check his profile and saw he was in Indiana University too..! I was confused- all the desis knew each other, how come I never came across him before? and he was Bohri as well! so I was curious.. I messaged asking if I knew him since we were in the same college and he replied innocently saying he was new to town and just wanted to get a better idea of our college town. 

Happy Mothers Day!! and Photo Call!!

coz mom's are the best na!

Send us a picture of your wedding 

and that of your mom's 

let us do a fun post!!

Lets take a little break!

I know wedding madness is on your mind, but sit back relax and take a break...

I thought lets mix it up a bit, and give you something else to think about....

Wedding Idea!!

Well Facebook has lost its touch hasn't it? or is it just me?? Anyways hash-tags are pretty much used every where and I find this a great idea to make sure you get to see your wedding captured from each persons point of view.

Do Grooms matter?

Well of course they do, for the obvious reason that is, they are the ones in charge of booking the Honeymoon...

We girls never do give them any credit, technically speaking its a big day for them as well, but end of the day it is the bride who picks the colors he is allowed to wear, or what kind of decorations would be there, what music is appropriate, etc.

Let us help the boys!

The most difficult part of Mehendi/Sangeet is trying to get the guys to do choreographed routines! Most of them don't want to do it, the ones that do have zero choreography sense, and since the boys decided on the very last minute that they would perform the official choreographer is long gone. So now what?!

Well we girls can whip up a quick and easy dance routine for girls or coed dances in a blink of an eye, but thinking of dance moves for a group of rowdy guys who only know how to do 'Dabang Dabang' on the stage is super difficult!

I found these group of guys doing great routines on Mehendi's and the dance moves are easy enough (after a few alterations) So just go ahead watch and teach your brothers/friends/uncles and have a great Sangeet!

6 Months Before the Wedding

Meet AA, she is getting married in November this year and she happily agreed to share her journey with us!

Follow this story for monthly updates on how she is preparing for her D-day!

1)Tell us Who you are?? ( Sounds like ragging, no?! Chalo Intro do..)

 To describe me, I am too mature to be 24 years old (still 1.5 months left) and at times, too kiddish to be 24! 

I am a great shopaholic and no amount of shopping can ever satisfy me. I work as a Quality Analyst, which is where I met my would-be.

I love hanging out with friends and seeing new places. Lately, I have discovered my love for photography as well.

2) Whats your love story?? Don't leave out the juicy bits!

I met by would-be at office. He was a Team Leader at that time. we had never really noticed each other (although he told me later that i resembled his ex... made me angry) and a year passed. We don't even remember how we started talking...
