Practice makes perfect – Bridal dresses can be quite complicated to figure out. So can headpieces, jewelry & bouquets. Especially last minute! Don’t wait until the day of your wedding to figure out how to bustle-up your gown before your first dance as a new bride. Count how many buttons there are at the back of your dress and bring a repair kit. Test the loops to make sure they can get around those tiny buttons. Don’t be too hasty when testing your zipper…be gentle and make sure the zip doesn’t get caught into the fabric. Know exactly where to fasten pins in your hair so your headpiece sits securely and complements your wedding-hairdo just right. Let your gown designer show you how to tie your bows the right way. More importantly, you must pass all this information along to your bridesmaids or whoever else is designated to help you shine on your wedding day. And practice. I’ve seen too many zippers run off tracks, buttons pop without the tools to replace them, and headpieces fall to the ground. Practice will not only make perfect, but it will save you a lot of time and frustration.

Choose a transparent veil – Make sure your veil is thin enough so we can photograph your gorgeous face as you walk down the aisle. When shopping for your wedding veil, take a few pictures with your camera-phone to view the transparency. Remember, all veils to some degree look diaphanous, so it’s a good idea to perform a test before purchasing. No matter your fabrication – tulle, organza or chiffon – run it through your fingers, drape it over your head, and check the transparency against your face. If the wedding veil you’ve inherited is a little opaque, no prob. Just make sure your dad or the individual giving you away, flips it back, right before you meet your groom. We want a clear view into all those lovely emotions you are feeling as you take your vows!

Indian Weddings are full of color and excitement! Over the course of two-to-three days…from the mehndi parties to the Hindu ceremony to the reception…we usually have a lot of fun. Here’s one of my favorites. It’s a little snippet of Vadica & Ravi’s wedding weekend – the groom’s preparation and the ceremony. Enjoy!
