Indian Wedding Dress

The crazy shopping in India finally lead to the dress that I fell in love with. I had decided even before we began planning the wedding that I was not going to wear red. I wanted to do something different - pink maybe.

But then I found it, with its gold detailing, beadwork and elegant shades. I was in love. 

See some of the images below that highlight some of the detail on the dress.

A Touch of Mehndi

One of the most exiting parts of having an Indian wedding is the experience of having the mehndi done.

I had my trial done on Monday and I am in awe of the work these talented woman do. The most interesting part of the experience was learning how Nikita came to practice the art of mehndi, "I was doodling at a cousins wedding..." at which point an elder pulled her a side and began to teach her the fine art of painting the elegant designs onto brides hands and feet.

Have a look at some of the photos that were taken by Wesley Poon on my Mehndi Evening, the night before my wedding.

Enjoy!
