The Bridal Files : Sangeet/Engagement

Hello Lovelies!

Hope you've been enjoying reading The Bridal Files.The outfit I am posting this day is my Sangeet and Engagement (Mudda-tikka) one.Since,I was wearing a typical traditional red wedding lehenga,I wanted to go for an offbeat colour for my Sangeet.Also,since my in-laws were gifting it to me and they were staying in Canada during my engagement period,I had little less than one month to purchase and do the fittings for my Sangeet Lehenga.So,it was a bit of a hunt to find a lehenga in a short period of time which was different and readymade with minor alterations!
My friend referred me to this manufacturer who she was highly impressed with and I decided to check it out after the first few days of browsing were uneventful.The best part was that she said that he only takes an appointment through reference as he usually catered to other boutiques and did not do much of individual orders.I tried a few of the typical pinks and yellows before trying this one on and it was LOVE since I put it on.The colour was perfect and it seemed like I could actually DANCE in it.Also,it was inspired by a Sabyasachi design,And not just one of the cheap imitations which are a dime a dozen but real,quality workmanship.I did not even look at another Lehenga after trying this one on! :D

Burst of Color

Don't cha just love it when life decides it's time for a change and just bursts through like a storm and everything turns topsy turvy.I am approaching some major life changing decisions right now and even though am not sure where they will lead me to...am ready to welcome them with open arms.Sometimes we get too comfortable in our own space.Following the same eat.sleep.work.play routine is very easy to get used to but not as fulfilling. Every time I fall into a routine,I get this urge to leave it all behind and break free.It could be the smallest thing like what I eat for breakfast everyday.I tend to eat the same thing for months until I get bored and switch to something completely different.This is why change is good.It keeps us fresh and motivated and not have any expectations out of life.Like a whoosh of color through black and white.Always know that when we leave something behind...something better is on the way. :)

I've got the 'Blues'

One of the quirks I have while travelling is collecting hotel key cards.I didn't really start doing it intentionally but because of my habit of dumping things and losing them in the pit of my travel bag...I somehow always ended up with one back home.After we came back,those key cards made great souvenirs. They were easy to store,long lasting,brought back some wonderful memories of the places we'd seen and free!The hotels I stay in are one of the most important thing during my holidays.I research for weeks before settling on one I like.So,I was very upset with the hotels in France as NONE of them had any tea/coffee machines.Now for someone who survives on coffee and has cravings at odd hours of night for a cuppa this was very disconcerting. It had never even occurred to us that the 4-5 star properties we stayed in wouldn't have even the basic of these amenities and so we were not carrying any of the sachets and I was forced to buy one takeaway every night after dinner.The cherry on top of my horrible hotel experience was the burglary which happened in my room in Paris!All of our electronics were stolen from our room when we were down for breakfast!Although after several threats and a police complaint the hotel agreed to refund the amount of the stolen items...the whole incident was a huge dampener on the fun. Anyhoo,I still kept the card key.A memory is a memory!
