The Weddings Issue

Namrita & Roman‘s wedding in California mixed the traditions of both of their heritages for a Mexican-Indian celebration that was truly stunning. This installment in Nirali Magazine, we bring you inside four real and stunning South Asian weddings plus, we’ve compiled guides on South Asian beauty and wedding photography and so much more.

We met so many brides with outstanding advice for throwing a big fat desi wedding in North America while putting together this issue that we compiled the best in a handy article. (Be sure to check out even more advice from South Asian brides in the next installment on June 18th as well as three more beautiful weddings, a guide for wedding shopping in South Asia and a guide to buying wedding jewelry!)

I thought many of you might like to see this issue… There are slideshows for many of the articles featuring a lot of wonderful wedding photographers. The amount of vendors featured is quite wide. You can find references for anyone from elephant rentals to wedding documentary filmmakers to mehndi artists to luxury event coordinators. See all ten articles in this installment of Nirali Magazine’s Wedding Issue on NiraliMagazine.com. Enjoy!

Bridesmaids bouquets were built on crosses. Arrangements incorporated fresh fruit. (Photography by Elizabeth Messina)

    Just wanted to say thank you so much to you and Nirali for putting this together. It’s such a wonderful resource and a great place to get ideas. I’m getting married next spring and it’s so frustrating to look through American bridal magazines and find very few articles that are relevant to me. This was a huge inspiration to me, so thank you SO much! I hope Nirali will make this an annual thing.

    The articles are well put together and they are packed with practical tips. The amount of details that were put in these weddings really shows up at the events. But the best for me is the superb color palettes. It looks so festive.

    I love the colours in these photos! Marigolds add such a great shot of orange into things. They always remind me of the film, “Monsoon Wedding”.
