Photographers

Having gone through tonnes of wedding photographs for two years at WedMeGood, I definitely wanted something niche that depicts our emotions at the wedding. We went ahead with Fairytale wedding by Angad Sodhi and he did a brilliant job of capturing candid emotions.

Decorators

The girls at Pretty Much Decor proceeded with the brief and got us a super subtle candle lit stage and a mint green vedi with mogras all over.

Bridal Makeup

Since, I prefer subtle makeup, I was a little skeptical about this decision. I went with the WMG recommendation and booked Simran Kalra for the Delhi functions and Rehat Brar for the cocktail in Ludhiana. I absolutely loved my mehendi look, subtle, light and suited to my personality. While the wedding makeup can be a little overwhelming, if I had a choice, I wouldn't change a thing.

Bridal Makeup

I'd also, complement Gaurav Chawla, the hairstylist for his client handling skills. I am quite anti-experimentation with my hair and curls in particular and he ensured I get my way while still getting some drama to my look.

Mehendi Artist

I had mine done by Sukhdev, Lajpat Nagar. While I am a big fan of Mehendi, the only time people look at it is when they see you at your mehendi and the next day when they want to figure if your husband/mil loves you enough depending on the darkness of your mehendi. That made me feel, it doesn't justify a star mehendi artist, a good and affordable one works just fine. But then everyone has their poison, this is just my tip.

Groom Wear

Again, subtle and wearable being the brief, we started to scout for suitable options in Delhi. Stitch by Sarab Khanijou in GK 1 was our first pick. His outfits are chic, different and light.

Groom Wear

For the wedding outfit, we liked a Nehru jacket in cream with copper border and got them to customise a sherwani in it.

Bridal Wear

I had been an obsessive fan of gota-patti and hence Anita Dongre's collections since a very long time and each time I thought of what I should wear for my wedding, I pictured myself wearing something subtle with gota-patti on it. However, I wanted something very light and not heavily embroidered or embellished and I ended up picking a pink one. The pockets to the lehenga, the less heavy affair makes for a great buy for a bride.

Bridal Wear

I figured how a Lehenga is a little more useful than a gown in the longer run and went ahead with a mint green piece from Asiana Couture in Chandni Chowk. While I liked most bits of the experience at the store, just as a heads up, none of the Chandi Chowk guys do the blouse stitching so be prepared with a tailor you trust before you book an outfit from Chandni Chowk.

Bridal Wear

Our mehendi was a close 40 people wintery brunch affair with dhol as the music hence I wanted something very comfortable and wearable at other people's weddings later. As much I was repeating my wedding lehenga colour, I went ahead with a pink sharara from Madsam Tinzin, Shahpur Jat,Delhi.

Cinema/Video

Having a photographer/ cinematographer as one of a super close friend helps! While Lakshya-Shutterdown Photography wanted to enjoy the wedding as a friend, we had his team for our video. The video sure took us by surprise of the sheer emotions we had lived by and the euphoria that we could sense amongst our friends and family. I particularly loved the sort of music they have used through the video, very rustic, natural and mostly non-commercial or Bollywood.

Catering Services

Being a guilty foodie, me and my father had the best time at food trials. However, we were wow-ed by our experience at Colonel Kebabs catering division and proceeded with them at all our functions. If you are a foodie couple, there are chances you wouldn't get to eat at your own wedding. Try all the dishes at your trial to avoid FOMO :P.
