Classic Pink Engagement saree with a smile to match – Congratulations to Sweetie and Sumit

pink_enagement Saree

As I have said umpteen number of times, the best accessory a women can wear is not the jewelry but the smile on her face and the man she cares for on her side. In this case, she has them both, and the second accessory in red kurta looks pretty OK too!

Congratulations to the happy couple Sweetie and Sumit.

A classic pink engagement saree, draped in a slightly non-traditional way. (It is not non-traditional because it is a Gujarati drape, it is non-traditional because it is a slight variation on how the Gujarati drape is typically executed.)

In south east Asia, engagement ceremony is a lot more than just exchanging rings. It is a very elaborate affair and is celebrated in a rather grand fashion in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. It provides with a platform for the soon to be groom’s friends and families to mingle with the friends and relatives of the soon to be bride.

Mere Brother ki Dulhan – red saree and Katrina

OK, Katrina is sexy, red saree is sexy, comedy is even more sexier, and you put all them together, shake it a little bit, put some lewd title to the movie and may be, just may be, you can have a hit.

I might not watch it, but I will fast forward it through! If it is really good, instead of fast forwarding it at x8, I will fast forward it only at x4.

And yes, the woman behind the saree is elegant, captivating and alluring too.

Tarun Tahiliani Bridal Couture Exposition 2011 ‘Artisanal:

Tarun Tahiliani Bridal Couture Exposition 2011 ‘Artisanal -

The theme chosen for this year is ‘Artisanal- Bringing the Craft to the Fore’- an entirely novel blend of Indian finery with a layered western construct.

Talking about the Exposition, Tarun Tahiliani said, “It is a proud moment as the exposition travels & enters its third season. We have received overwhelming response from our clients in the past & we expect the same this season. The exposition this year is a tribute to the artisan hands that pour their energy into creating and preserving works of depth and beauty. ‘Artisanal’ is an inspirational confluence of two great artisanal traditions in a unique fashion; Indian Couture layered in a Western Construct. The exposition presents our rich heritage with the finest weaves, embroideries, jewels, stones and techniques. This, we hope, will bring our artisans and processes to the fore, resulting in a new luxe and fine fit that is uniquely Indian in taste.

I just love the colors, gentle and feminine and sweet.

This is how old weddings used to be

Look at the scared expression on the girl’s face and look at the freaked out expression on guy’s face. This is how it used to be and for many couples, even now it still is !

With arranged marriage, it was not uncommon to get married to somebody within days of your parents “finding” them. Noticed that I didn’t say meeting, there was no meeting per se.

Thanks to TV, things are changing. Couples know a bit more about what to expect and they also have more opportunity to decide what is right for them and at least have some say in it.

This is a very delightful picture and I absolutely love it.
