The Bridal Files : Mehendi

The next morning of the Youngsters Party,We had the Mehendi Function.The theme of the Mehendi was Rajasthani Kitsch.I wanted it to be a really fun event with lots of dancing and filled with the colours of my heritage.I had made matching leheriya outfits for all the women of my family and had a really fun photo booth,complete with a jazzed-up scooter!

We used a lot of DIY for this event and I love how it all turned out. I had made my lehenga infact before I had decided on the theme of the event but somehow it all worked out together!Even the Potlis for the favours were done by my in-house brand and are still available for sale in a modified version!

We handed out these potlis with Rajasthani Doll Hangings as Mehendi Favours.

The Kitschy Scooter!

To New Beginnings!

And it's official!
I got married on the 6th of of December to the love of my life in Kolkata.The Big Fat Indian Wedding took up most of my time as I had 3 months officially(and 9 months unofficially) to plan the wedding since my engagement on the 20th of October.I've been neck deep in trousseau shopping,theme planning,cocktail arrangements and honeymoon bookings till I forgot that I was the one getting married.Not to mention I was working till a week before the wedding.
So here I am now.Happily typing away in Winnipeg.A new city,a new life and ready to make new mistakes. :)

a new NEW year.

With so much of negativity around us at the end of this year,It is important to be positive in order to bring a positive change in our society.Doomsday has come and gone and it is time to start afresh and cleanse our society of evil as in Indian Mythology.So instead of wishing for material things,why not bring in the new year with some good wishes.Here goes my wishlist for 2013.

Love has the power to change.It gives us a strength to carry which we didn't even know we had.It brings us happiness and tears and sometimes tears of happiness.I wish for lots of love this new year.Love to receive and love to give.For my family and friends and for humankind.

I hope we find both inner and outer peace.I wish we feel content in what we do and proud of what we have done.Hatred clouds our mind and muddles up everything.Find a way to get what we want through being proactive rather than fighting with anger.

Hope for a better tommorow. A better month.A better year.Teach our kids and siblings better so that we can be the change we want to see.

 Dream of a better year and follow that dream.Store it in a bottle.Write a note so that we don't forget it in the morning.Dream the impossible.A fleeting thought can change the way we live.If you have always wanted to do something.Do it now.Tomorrow you might not be able to.

Hope 2013 makes all your dreams come true!
