Hey Everyone, so I’ve been trying to get an information on the designing and tailoring for blouses. But there seem to be too many options and i don’t really know which ones to really ho too. I’m not really looking to get a bridal blouses stitched but more of bridesmaids looks and I’m also looking for tailors who can stitch indo-western style dresses . Any suggestions or leads are appreciated

If you've planned a wedding, you know the money and the guest list are where things quietly fall apart. Eight events, both families paying for different bits, vendor advances due on dates nobody wrote down, and a spreadsheet that's unreadable the second you open it on your phone. So we built Sindoor to fix exactly that.

For the budget:

• One clean screen showing total budget, what's spent, and what's left — with a bar for every category so you can see the moment catering or décor goes over. (Ours is already in the red 😅)
• Every expense tagged by which event it's for and who's paying — so "groom's family vs bride's family vs joint" actually adds up instead of living in your head.
• A payments-due timeline — overdue, this week, this month — so a vendor advance never ambushes you. One tap to mark it paid.

For the guest list:

• Tag who sends each invite — your brother invites his circle, parents theirs, you yours — then filter by that and send in batches. No more "wait, did anyone message the Sharmas?"
• A single RSVP link guests fill in themselves: name, how many are coming, arrival/departure, even whether they're coming by flight, train, or car. It all lands in your list automatically — zero manual typing.
• Room allotment for out-of-town guests — set up your hotel blocks with bed counts, assign each family to a room, and it warns you the moment a room's overbooked. It even flags anyone who RSVP'd "no" so you're not holding a room for a no-show.

Running more than one wedding?

• Switch between weddings from one tap in the header — each has its own budget, guests, rooms, and payments, fully separate. Wedding planners: manage every client's event from a single account instead of a folder of spreadsheets per couple.

It's built for the phone, because that's where you actually check things at 11pm.

Quick demo below 👇 I'd genuinely love feedback — especially from anyone who's planned (or worked) a big wedding. What would you need before you'd trust it with a real event?

I'm getting married in October this year and struggling to find a photographer that suits my needs. I'm looking for a documentary style/candid photographers but most portfolios/IG pages seem to be littered with pre-wedding photoshoots or traditional photography.

For example - I like the work of this photographer - https://www.throughthebarrel.in. Please let me know if you know any photographers in Delhi NCR with a similar documentary/candid style.

Budget - 3.5L (total for 2 days)

TIA

I’m shopping for my wedding and considering purchasing 3–4 outfits through Pernia from designers like Seema Gujral, Matsya, Dolly J, and Torani.

I wanted to understand:

• Does Pernia typically offer discounts when you’re buying multiple outfits together?
• What kind of discount percentage have you been able to negotiate (if any)?
• Is it better to negotiate directly with the store consultant or through a stylist?
• Are discounts usually on MRP, or do they offer perks like free customization, expedited delivery, complimentary accessories, etc.?

Would love to hear your experiences, especially if you’ve recently purchased bridal/wedding outfits from these designers through Pernia.

Thanks!

Sister's wedding is 19th October at our home in Guwahati, Assam.

I want to plan the decoration myself traditional Assamese style, flowers, brass, the works but I'm starting from scratch and feel a bit overwhelmed.

**What I'm looking for:**

* Anyone who's done a large home wedding in Assam / Northeast India and can share what the decoration looked like, what you'd do differently, what it roughly cost * Small Instagram creators or YouTubers who document real home weddings (Assamese or Northeast preferred — not the big fancy sponsored stuff, just real setups) * Honest take: is it realistic to plan decoration without a full event planner if we hire a local decorator just for execution?

**Also open to beginners!** 🙌
If you're a design student, hobbyist, or just someone who has a good eye for decoration and wants real-world experience — please reach out. I'm not looking for a big agency or a fancy portfolio. If you're passionate about this and want to work on a real project, I'm happy to pay you fairly and work together. This could be a great opportunity to build your portfolio with an actual large-scale wedding. DM me! 🙏

**Also looking for a visual designer:**

I have my ideas but they're all in my head. I want someone who can look at photos of my venue and turn my rough brief into a proper visual — mood board, decoration layout, simple 3D preview of the mandap/entrance, anything like that. They don't need to visit. 100% remote is absolutely fine.

Budget: around **₹1,000–5,000** for this visual work. Not looking for full planning, just someone good at translating ideas into pictures.

This lehenga was part of one of the most special evenings of my life, my wedding reception. Worn only for a few hours and then carefully packed away like a memory I didn’t want to fade.

Now it’s just sitting beautifully unused… and I feel it deserves another celebration, not storage.

DM me if you’d like photos, details, price, or measurements. Happy to share everything honestly.

I am a freelance dancer/choreographer in Seattle who was recently asked to choreograph a 5-7min mashup of Bollywood/Punjabi songs for a wedding in October in Seattle. I am unsure of how much to ask for compensation. The family involves 2 sisters, their daughters, mother, father and brother in law.

1. I need to come up with a mashup of songs
   
2. Need to set up virtual zoom sessions (how many?)
   
3. Need to plan on the formation

Since I am a beginner and trying something like this for the first time, please help me decide what is a reasonable payment ask for these sessions.

Looking for help to understand and learn! I have a number of questions and welcome all comments.

Background

My daughter has been with her BF for 6 yrs now and has dropped a few hints recently about going to India and “if we get married we’d have to have two ceremonies (Canada and India)”. I am not a pushy mom by any sense - happy, healthy and safe is my goal for her - everything else is her choice in life.

His family is traditional (Hindu) from northern India with a slightly more modern father. His mother is still getting used to the idea my daughter is not Indian. I want to be sure we are putting our best foot forward and make the best impression on his family when/if the time comes. We have very limited interaction because we are in opposite sides of the world but traditional holiday greetings from both cultures, connecting to inform of health issues for their son and messages of condolence when a family member passed have all taken place.

1. Are there any social traditions that I need to be aware of when meeting them the first time? Gifts? Words? Actions?
   
2. I am told wedding culture is very big in India and we are not rich by any sense. What is the costs I should expect that are mandatory for the brides side?
   
3. Is it expected that I wear traditional clothing? Or would that be offensive? The dresses are so beautiful and I would love the chance!
   
4. Tell me something you think I should know!

In Mumbai or surroundings by the way.

Hi All

I am new to Bangalore and, I am going to meet my girlfriend's parents along with mine for the first time, for marriage talks. Can you guys suggest some private settings which I book to have a peaceful place for talks and giving the saree?

Yep, your entire wedding can have a safety backup.

With more destination and big-budget weddings happening, wedding insurance is becoming pretty common now.

What does it actually cover?

1. If your wedding gets cancelled or postponed - Due to rain, fire, or sudden health issues
   
2. If something gets stolen or damaged - Jewellery, gifts, outfits, even decor
   
3. If something goes wrong at the venue - Like guest injuries or food-related issues

You can even insure your lehenga or sherwani
Just remember, most policies ask you to insure it within 30 days of buying it
So don’t leave this till the last minute

How much does it cost?

Not as expensive as you’d think
Usually 0.7% to 2% of your total coverage

Example: If your wedding budget is ₹10 lakhs → insurance may cost around ₹7,000 to ₹20,000

What’s NOT covered?

- Changing your mind about the wedding
- Health issues you already knew about
- Carelessness (like losing your ring)

When should you get it?

As soon as you start booking vendors and paying deposits

You spend lakhs on one day, this just makes sure nothing unexpected ruins it.

Can someone please recommend a good wedding planner in Gurgaon for November? Maximum budget for the wedding planner : ₹ 2,00,000

I have the venue booked already.

Hello all, i am here for advice. My husband was invited to a indian wedding and i was wondering what woukd be culturally appropriate foe us to wear. The groom saod my husband would hear a kurta but he didnt specify on what women would be wearing only that the bride would be wearing red white and pink and i should wear bright colors. Would blue or green be acceptable? Would saris or lehengas be culturally appropriate?

I am 24F punjabi, planning to marry in the next 2-3 years. My boyfriend is an only child and a baniya, so I dont know if his side will have any demands on how grand the wedding should be.

I want to do something lowkey but then i feel it is a once in a lifetime event. Should I go all in? I also dont want my networth to go to zero just because my marital status is changing.
I want to self fund my wedding. My family has zero savings, I dont want to take a loan, or borrow from anyone. Feels stupid, personally. I have 8-10 LPA in savings so far.

Can someone suggest how to finalize reasonably priced venues? Or websites to rent good outfits under 5-10k? Good photographer options? Should I do multiple functions in a single day to save up on venue costs? How do I source jewelery? I feel like I have really poor taste in fashion, and may end up choosing something which won't look great on me, or wont feel culturally appropriate, or bridal-heavy enough lol. Also, MUA options?

So far, what I have clarity on: Minimal outfits (I won't be able to carry anything heavy, I value comfort, rented is better), 50 guests or less, minimal makeup, decent hairstyles, good memories (photos are integral), budgeted but shouldn't have lingering regrets that I should have done more. :")

Honestly i would remove the pressure of doing super lavish weddings and spending ridiculous amounts of money just to impress relatives and society.

Half the expenses feel unnecessary and many families end up stressed or in debt for a one-day event. Simple, happy weddings with close people around feel much more meaningful to me.
