Weddings are expensive people ! But you know that already. So when it comes to creative brides, we are all ears on how they turned some elements into "Do it Yourself " projects and came up with fabulous results.
I made my sangeet outfit a DIY project. Using beautiful banarsi silk fabric, I created my lehenga in house. There were no designers involved, just me, my tailors and the gorgeous fabrics. I also ended up doing my bridesmaids outfits and now I run a label called Maisara which makes Indian wear silhouettes in beautiful fabrics.

For my mehendi, we took Bandhani dupattas that all of us owned. We hung them at different places in the house, and even draped our sofas with them. The mirrors glimmered , and the bright and colorful fabrics made for a great DIY. My outfit was DIY as well - I took a Phulkari dupatta and got a corset made out of it with a plain skirt.
