Let's call the dholi now....

I've been meaning to do a post on the great Indian wedding for a while now, especially since Kamini shared the news of her son's upcoming nuptials. There's color, there's food, there's gaiety, there's tomfoolery,there's tradition and culture, there's music, and clothes and jewelry...there truly IS no other spectacle quite like it!!!! Of course there's the ambiance too...

I think the post may be a little late in the making for Kamini's event (--can't wait for the pictures!), but for all those pretty young 'uns out there...there's tons of inspiration in blogland!! Don't feel compelled to go with saturated hues though. There are plenty of other color palettes out there, and using muted hues doesn't detract from their Indian-ness one bit!!! Here are some awesome blogs that cover South-East Asian weddings:

1. Marigolds &Mithai.
2. Cupcakes &Curry.
3. Little Brown Bride.
4. Big Fat Indian Wedding.
5. The Asian Wedding Editor's Guide.
6. The Sari Clad Bride.
7. Digitology.

Hope this comes in handy for someone out there........ I had fun putting it together, kind of brought back some really sweet memories (I really need to dig out those old photographs now!).

This post is for you Kamini! :)

Hello! I'm back....

Let's start the week with this very special video I came across last week; I think the man behind the lens has managed to capture the essence of this wedding beautifully......

Update: For some reason your comments are not visible on the blog; however, as I have an automated feed directed to my gmail account, I can read them all, and I really DO appreciate each comment. I have contacted blogger and hope they'll be able to sort this problem soon... Funny thing is my replies to your comments have just vanished as well. Please do keep commenting though, your kind words really do make my day... :)
