New York based tanaRi events recently put together the fabulous Tie the Knot Bazaar to introduce brides-to-be to standout wedding professionals and the latest Indian wedding trends.

Here are some trendsetting ideas for your Indian wedding, captured by KSD Wedding Photojournalists.

Custom South Asian inspired stationery, from invitations to thank you cards, and everything in between from 3 Bees Paperie.

Fabulously creative mini appetizers and desserts are a must for any trendsetting event.

Belly dancers! Make sure to go with someone well versed in Indian weddings who can cater to your specific crowd.

LOVE a wedding cake adorned with Indian jewels!

Instead of paying for a traditional photo booth, tanaRi events showcased a custom Indian inspired booth with a sari backdrop and draping with props like pagris and bindis in addition to the traditional boas and oversized sunglasses. Get as creative as you can and hire a photographer by the hour to recreate this at your reception!

I am ending today’s real wedding with a reception that will take your breath away! Upohar and Matt’s grand day ended in a grand reception. These two continued with their theme of gold and had the room wrapped in golden hues.

Upohar and Matt had their reception at the Palm Beach County Convention Center. Convention centers are a great place to have receptions as they are blank canvases and can also accommodate a large amount of people. Being that they are a blank canvas, it is important to have a talented designer whose creativity can help create a magical evening.  Jilna Patel of Suhaag Garden completely transformed the space for the couple’s 500 guests!

A new trend we are loving is couples surprising their guests with a combination of songs for their first dance. This allows you to begin with a romantic dance with your new husband, and then break out in a fun dance to let everyone know that the party is starting!

From our bride: “I think our entrance was special.  It was finally time for us, and we entered to music and the tossing of flower petals as we walked in together down the aisle. Another memorable moment was our first dance.  We began dancing to L.O.V.E. by Nat King Cole and then surprised everyone when the music switched to the Bollywood song Tujhe Dekha to Yeh Jaana Sanam (from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge).”

How adorable is that???

Upohar and Matt, we at IndianWeddingSite.com wish you two a lifetime full of good health, joy and romance. Thank you to Andrew Milne Photography for sharing this royal wedding with us!

After seeing the last post, I am sure you all are just dying for more! Andrew Milne Photography took these two lovebirds outside for their portraits and they came out great. I know you have heard us stress about how important a great wedding photographer is, but I am going to emphasize it again- MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A GREAT WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER! Your big day will go by so fast so you must make sure that your photographer captures great images to keep as memories. Not only do you want a photographer that captures the little details, but you also want one that is creative, especially with lighting.

I admire Upohar’s decision to carry a bouquet. I know a lot of Indian brides struggle with the decision to carry one or not. I think it makes the whole ‘bridal look’ come together! Picking a simple flower such as a lily makes your bouquet look elegant. I also like how the color of Matt’s tie contrasts with Upohar’s bridal sari and makes him stand out. After all, he is the groom so he should be just as eye-catching as his beautiful bride!

Check back shortly for the Regal Reception that continues with the gold theme!

Good morning lovely brides!

Today I have a wedding for all of you brides that love royal weddings! If you were a big fan of the movie Jodha Akbar, then you will love the regal look of our bride! The colors, jewelry, bridal sari, and makeup have me drooling all over my desk! Ladies – I bring you Upohar. Upohar attended the University of Florida where she met her prince charming, Matt. They both met through a mutual friend and starting hanging out and before you know it, fell in love. Love- it happens when you least expect it! Sigh… it is stories like these that just make my heart flutter!

Upohar’s earrings and maang tikaa have already got me sold on what kind of jewelry I will be picking out for my big day. And can you all just take a look at her perfect eye makeup??? One word comes to mind- AMAZING! But of course, credit goes to Andrew Milne Photography for capturing these  phenomenal images of Upohar and Matt’s big day!

I am going to run to Sephora real quick to buy some gold eyeshadow!  Join us shortly to see how cute Upohar and Matt’s wedding portraits came out.

Bouquets can be very tricky when it comes to Indian weddings. On one hand, you want your bouquet to stand out, but at the same time you don’t want it to be overly busy and take away from your wedding lehnga. Regardless of your take on bouquets, this idea is definitely worthy of your attention!

We’ve seen sari fabric tied around the bottom of a bouquet (love!), but Studio Sweet Pea took it a step further by adding ghungroos (anklets). I’m sure we can all agree that this would look stunning being carried by any Indian bride!

I hope you took a minute to call your fiance to tell him you love him after seeing Heali and Vishal’s portraits! As a little girl, I was constantly dreaming about my wedding and how it would be. Heali always dreamed of having an intimate ceremony at the home of her parents.  Smaller affairs are great for the more religious bride who wants the day to be focused on all of the Hindu beliefs. And if you are a bride that wants the best of both worlds, then it is always a great idea to have an intimate ceremony followed by a larger, more formal reception.

Just looking at these images by Hanowell Photography makes my heart melt. I promised you all that today’s wedding was all about love so how about you all take the rest of the day off and just think about your fiance and the love you share! And when you do get back to wedding planning, whether your day is going to be a grand affair or an intimate one, make sure to not lose touch of what the day is really all about!

Heali and Vishal – Thank you for sharing your sweet and intimate wedding day with us! We at IndianWeddingSite.com wish you both years and years of love and happiness! Another big thank you to Hanowell Photography for the submission.

Good morning lovely brides!

As you all are waking up and looking at your to-do lists for your wedding, take a minute to sit back and think about your amazing fiance and the relationship you both share. I know planning a wedding can be stressful and sometimes brides make the biggest mistake and forget about what the special day is really about. It isn’t about the linens, centerpieces, or the venue. It is about the love that you share with one another. Today’s wedding is all about LOVE.

Heali and Vishal are the cutest couple ever! These two lovebirds had their beautiful and intimate ceremony at the home of Heali’s parents, proving that you don’t always need huge budget for your wedding. What could be more special than getting married in your own home?! Heali looks gorgeous in her pink bridal outfit and Vishal looks pretty dashing himself! Hanowell Photography did an amazing job in making sure they captured the essence of such a great day.

Make sure to come back for Heali and Vishal’s sweet and intimate ceremony!
