Hi! Can anyone who had a wedding in the past 5 years list the vendor they went with and how much it was and what was included? The quotes I'm getting are closer to 19K for 1 day event baraat and reception. I don't know if I'm that out of touch with pricing but that seems ridiculously high and out of my budget.

Planning to have a multicultural, mostly desi wedding in Miami. Both my fiance and I are originally from Miami but have since moved far away, and I think a planner who is based there and also used to desi weddings would make a huge difference. Just having trouble finding someone in that niche. Thanks!

Hi all, I am a 23M and I've received an invitation to attend a wedding of my colleague at Bangalore. It is going to be south indian wedding. I am not sure of what to be wearing at the wedding. I am planning to only go to the reception along with my other colleagues. I have a small budget 2-3k can purchase anything if suggested.

Hello everyone,

I am thinking to have my marriage in an orphanage or tying the knot in Shri Bhoga Nandishwara gudi with my close family, friends and orphan children and having a small reception or event in orphanage itself. Is this feasible or should I ditch this idea?

I want to donate to an orphanage and want those children to have a fun event exposure rather than mindlessly spending for irrelevant functions calling lots of relatives just to showoff.

Ps: I am not doing this to feel good about me or anything( Not on social media also no intention of telling everyone about this) but since my childhood I myself haven't attended much marriages and I don't think orphan kids would have celebrated too. So just want to celebrate together.

I am looking at different clothes material for my pakistani red/maroon bridal dress. I am opting for kalidaar frock with lehnga beneath. And zari kora dabka work. Also I want some shine in the cloth. Can anyone guide what material cloth would be best and why?

My wedding is in two months and I am unsure about my bridal look. Whenever I go out looking for lehenga either it is too simple, too heavy, too blingy, too costly, or cluttered work. Need your suggestions and ideas.

I don’t want to be a conventional bride yet i cannot go too unconventional. I don’t get a gut feeling that this is the look i want to go for. I am mostly looking in raw silk and it should be umder a lac. Please tell me what am I doing wrong?

Getting married next year and was looking for a Walima dress from sana adil. I was just wondering if anyone has experience with them? Thank you!

I am attending an Indian wedding in the mid-summer next year. The wedding is outside and it will be super hot. Regardless, I need to buy an Indian suit. I am a male. I've never been someone who wore lots of colours. I think jhodpuri suits are conservative enough for my liking, but I don't really know what else I can choose from. Can someone give me some ideas?

For context, I am white, have dark (almost black) hair, bluish green eyes and a dark beard. Trying not to look like a Mughal Emperor because I don't want to outshine the groom. Just kidding 😝

i am throwing a non-traditional welcome party/sangeet and am just looking for inspiration/ideas that are unique the night before our ceremony. is there anything you did or are doing that you think was special to your wedding? bonus points for any pictures!

I was wondering does the fake Indian jewelry oxidize or change colors? If a buy a few sets can it last for years or should I just one at a time depending when the events are? This is my first time looking into buying Indian jewelry sets.

What has been your experience?

I’m getting married in 2026 at a resort in Riviera Maya and was hoping to get some recommendations on hair/makeup for me and my brides maids. I have dark skin and am afraid the resorts vendors won’t get it right (ghost make up as I call it), and would like to hear any brides experience with both outside & resort recommended MUA/Stylists.

I was also told it would be much cheaper to get florist/decor set up with an outside vendor, even with paying for a vendor fee. Any recs on who you’ve used and your experience dealing with them?

Thank you!!

I am a July 2025 bride. I wanted to go to India to look for outfits but I think the trip and logistics are too complex.

Therefore, I was thinking of either going to London or Toronto to shop for my wedding outfits.

Do you have recommendations on where to look? I am doing a Hindu ceremony. I need a mehendi outfit, either a yellow/pink for my first wedding outfit, and a red and gold for my final wedding outfit (most extravagant piece).

I am based in NY but was hoping to find different pieces if I looked outside of the Nj/NY area.

I care about reliability and uniqueness of the boutiques.

I’m a 2025 bride and have always dreamed of wearing a Sabyasachi. The only thing that held me back was people complaining about how “common” Sabyasachi has become and how repetitive his designs are. I get it—his designs may be similar, but that doesn’t mean they’re not beautiful! Something can be repetitive and still be pretty. People don’t criticize Mark Rothko for using the same style of painting or authors for writing in the same genre or with a similar writing style. So why is a designer criticized for having a signature style? Even Anamika Khanna has her own distinct style, but since fewer people wear her bridal collections, it’s seen as “okay”.

Every designer has a signature, and it’s the bride’s personal choice to decide what appeals to her the most. The moment I tried on a Sabyasachi, I knew it was the vibe I wanted. I particularly love the shade of red in his designs, and I dislike things that feel overdone. Sabyasachi’s work feels more refined and classy, and he truly understands the concept of negative space.

Also, let’s not forget that no one forced celebs like Deepika or Katrina to wear his “common bridal looks.” I’m sure they had a say in what they wore, and they chose to wear it because it resonated with them. It was their wedding, and they should wear whatever makes them feel beautiful. I’m tired of people criticizing Sabyasachi for supposedly “copy-pasting” bridal looks. No one is forced to wear his designs. It’s not his fault that so many brides want to wear his creations.

Lastly, the quality of Sabyasachi’s work and tailoring is impeccable. He has a range of bridal options in different colors—pinks, whites, lilacs, and more. If a bride wants to be a red bride, let her be! If you don’t like his designs or don’t want to wear them, that’s totally fine—just don’t bitch about it.

Edit: I already bought the lehenga—I don’t need advice on whether or not to buy it! That wasn’t the purpose of this post at all. I just wanted to rant about how people diss Sabyasachi for being "common." I get that people can have their own opinions, and so can I. I’m simply here to express my point of view on Sabyasachi.

Hi,

Has anyone used a wedding planner for a wedding in Bali? Can y'all suggest any good ones for a wedding of 50 pax?

So, you're about to get married in Jaipur, huh? Congratulations! The Pink City is undoubtedly one of the most enchanting places for a wedding, with its palaces, forts, and all-around regal vibes. But here's the catch: finding the best wedding venue in Jaipur that doesn’t break the bank is like looking for a needle in a haystack—except the haystack is made of gold, and the needle is your sanity. So, are you excited to check out the best wedding venues in Jaipur with their price.

https://preview.redd.it/61eio131zlzd1.jpg?width=650&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d87b2d70b4700835f98c28d01df28b525d2a56b3

1. The Royal Palaces (You Know, Just a Casual $10,000 a Day)

If you’re picturing your wedding at the grandeur of a royal palace in Jaipur—think luxurious, extravagant, and something straight out of a Bollywood movie—you’ll definitely want to check out places like Taj Rambagh Palace, Umaid Bhawan Palace, and Jaigarh Fort. These places are the definition of “when you’ve got it, flaunt it,” but fair warning: you might need to liquidate your assets or ask your relatives for that “contribution” that they swear they’ll pay back (spoiler: they won’t).

• Taj Rambagh Palace: Starts around ₹10-12 Lakhs for a wedding. But hey, you're marrying a royal, right?
• Umaid Bhawan Palace: ₹8-10 Lakhs minimum, but at least you’ll have that regal ‘I’m the king/queen’ feeling.
• Jaigarh Fort: ₹7-9 Lakhs. Perfect if you’ve always wanted to say “I do” in a fort (because why not?).

2. The Upscale Hotels (Because “Chic” is Your Middle Name)

Not everyone can afford a palace (we get it, there’s a reason the royals are so special). But you still want a bit of that luxury without the actual luxury price tag. Enter 5-star hotels. They may not have an army of palace guards, but they definitely have an army of event planners to help you avoid a disaster. Plus, they’re all about providing that sophisticated touch (aka free valet parking for your guests’ shiny cars).

• The Leela Palace Jaipur: Starts at around ₹4-6 Lakhs. A touch of royalty without the price tag of a full-fledged palace.
• ITC Rajputana: ₹4-5 Lakhs. Get married like a king (minus the crown).
• Fairmont Jaipur: ₹5-7 Lakhs. It’s basically a fairy tale without the fairy godmother.

3. The ‘Affordable’ but Still Gorgeous Venues (Your Credit Card’s New Best Friend)

If you’re going for “chic but on a budget,” there are plenty of other options that won’t leave you paying off debt for the next 30 years. Here’s where you get the best bang for your buck—stunning venues that still deliver the "wow" factor, but at a fraction of the price of those ridiculous palaces.

• Jai Mahal Palace: ₹3-5 Lakhs. It’s the kind of place where you can wear a tiara and not feel out of place. Still expensive, but hey, you’ve earned it.
• The Raj Palace: ₹3-4 Lakhs. It’s less about the price and more about how you look in front of the guests.
• Alila Fort Bishangarh: ₹4-5 Lakhs. It’s beautiful, it’s affordable, and the photos are so Instagrammable.

4. The Budget-Friendly Venues (So You Can Actually Afford the Honeymoon)

If you're not into draining your savings just for a wedding venue (smart choice), there are still places that are incredibly beautiful and won’t require you to pawn your laptop. You’ll just need to embrace a slightly more modest wedding—one where your guests don’t expect a banquet hall fit for the gods.

• Hotel Pearl Palace: ₹1.5-2 Lakhs. Low-key, intimate, and perfect if your guest list doesn't include distant relatives who feel entitled to a full buffet.
• Hotel Jaimahal Palace: ₹2-3 Lakhs. A little more on the fancy side but still reasonable—think of it as the wedding equivalent of a carefully crafted Instagram caption.
• Shahpura House: ₹2-3 Lakhs. Great for those who want to be extra without the extra cost.

In the end, your Jaipur wedding venue choices come down to one simple thing—how much you're willing to spend and what you're willing to sacrifice (probably your bank account).

So, pick your venue wisely, and don't forget that the goal is to actually enjoy your wedding day—not just to look good on Instagram.

Hi, I posted here earlier today about my personal shopper services. Sadly, that post was copied from another account on redditch who I contacted by mistake offering my personal services. When I found that the person I contacted is also a personal shopper I apologised and also saw their post offering the same services which was posted a few months. The post was good and said what I wanted to say so without thinking much I copied and posted it on this sub as my post. I realise that was not a good thing and I apologise.

But I am not a scammer ! ! !

I currently have active clients from this subreddit and otherwise and I am getting their outfits done. I have deleted the post I copied and this is just to apologise and also to say that I am not a scammer.

Thank you .

events are - engagement, haldi , sangeet , wedding , reception
