Saree from a Parinay show in Jaipur
A model walks the ramp during Parinay ’09 – The Wedding show in Jaipur. Looks more interesting because of the accentuated walk of the model.
Parinaya / Parinyam/ Parinay means marriage, in case you are wondering.

I know there is some very ethnic embroidery on these pasties, there is some old world charm to them, but please, don’t put them in the bridal collection!
I liked their 2008 collection and of course the name of their line is Couturewala!
Not a saree from Jaya Misra
Not a saree from Marriage n vogue in Kolkata by Jaya Misra.
I still like the sareesque look of this ensemble.

Satya Paul Bridal Couture 2009: some I HATE and some I LOVE
I know they are not sarees, but I am not purist about the definition of the saree, and when Satya Paul talks, we listen.
I like this one the most. As I have said, bridal couture is somewhat constraining, you got to throw in or keep certain colors and he does a great job here. The embroidery is exquisite and is not so overpowering that the real beauty of the bride is lost.
Now about this one; my mother told me that if I can’t say anything good about something, I should keep quite. Too bad I never listened to my mother.
I like the embossed self design and the blouse is interesting too, but do you really want the groom to start doubting on the marriage day whether he made the right decision or not?
In the set of photo shoot that I saw, thankfully there was one saree, I’ll post it in a day or so!
The best picture was Puneet Nanda surrounded by various creation!

Whos idea was it to come up with a Bridesmaid’s sarees in Indian wedding?
Bridesmaid and the bridesmaids with non-flattering sarees: I strongly disapprove of it. I know, its your wedding, and you want to look the best, but don’t make your best friends look terrible, just so you can look slightly better in comparison.
I am ok with sangeet nights, and I am happy with a bollywood style dances where the bride gets to be at the center stage, but during the wedding ceremony, how does it help to have your best friends dress up as the wait staff at the hotel? This is not even an Indian tradition – let it go…!
