The Mumbai Bride Diaries: 6 Months to Go!

Ok..so if you are new to this blog, please check all the bridal diaries posts HERE. My engagement pictures,outfit, jewellery,mehendi, etc I had shared with you all before. And Now, coming to the wedding!

Guys, I am getting married in exactly 6 months from now!!!

I have just started the normal trousseau shopping like some stuff from here and there..not proper proper shopping yet.

Things I am done with:

• Hall for the wedding is booked (1st and most important thing. I needed a weekend and did not get a Sunday..so finally booked a Saturday)
• Booked the makeup artist! (Main thing again :D) (But, a trial is left)
• Booked the mehendi wali
• Selected, tried and booked the jewellery
• Got my wedding shoes :p

Things I need to do:

• Start proper trousseau shopping
• Get my wedding Gharchoda and Panetar (We Gujuratis have to wear a gharchoda and panetar for the wedding)
• Lose weight :/ 🙁 Basically, need a fitness regime in place.
• Honeymoon bookings
• Find and book a good photographer (Need both normal and candid) Also, planning a pre wedding shoot.
• Get a good dupatta and bangles including the white chooda from Mama’s side
• Get a good Sari for the Morning Puja (Mandva)
• Get a gown/lehenga or anything I fancy for the DJ cum Sangeet cum Mehendi which is 2 days prior to the wedding and all the accessories for that.

Of course, there would be designing the wedding cars and parlor bookings, a skin care regime and what not..I guess a wedding involves innumerable things..as and when you feel you are almost through, you realise that you totally forgot something..and it goes on and on.

So, I am starting with this Bridal Diaries again, coz it would also help me keep a track of things. And at the same time, I can share a few things on this journey with you all.

All of you who are married/newly married/going to be married, please share your additions/tips/feedback..everything is welcome 🙂
