The Mumbai Bride Diaries: 5 Days to go,Bridal MUA,etc

Hey guys,

This would probably be my last bridal update for now 😀 Only 5 days left. Nervous/Excited/Sad/Happy. I have no idea, its a mixed bag. I just hope everything goes smooth and well.

On 4th Thursday is the DJ cum mehendi function and on 6th Saturday is the final D Day. I won’t be too active on the blog after 1-2 days, though I have some scheduled posts for you all. I would be updating my social media in between. So, do follow me on  Facebook , twitter and Instagram. Also another exciting giveaway coming up.

Coming to my Bridal Makeup Artist, well it was a thing I had not revealed since a long time, but now the time is perfect!

If you read my previous post on Lakme Absolute Bridal Dream Team, you might have got a hint 😉 Or maybe not 😀

Yes, it is none other than the Bridal Makeup Expert Cory Walia!!! I think everyone knows who Cory Walia is and he needs no introduction. Still if you do, read on :p

I am of course excited and can’t wait to see what Cory has in store for me and how the final look would turn out to be. I am sure it would be good. This bridal season ‘Gloss’ is in,so let’s see what he comes up with.

The Mumbai Bride Diaries: 3 Months to Go!

Hey guys,

If you are new to my blog, check out all the bridal diaries posts and updates HERE.

I wanted to update you all with a 4 months remaining post and what all I am done with, from the things which were pending in my 6 months post HERE, but I have no idea where time is flying! Like literally flying.

So ya, exactly 3 months to go now. I still can’t believe it!

Things Done from the ‘things I had to do’ mentioned in the 6 months post 😀

  • Done with most of my trousseau shopping. Rushing to the tailors and all these days.
  • Got my gharchoda from Khatri and panetar i.e the wedding sarees. Yes, we need to wear two together.
  • Nothing on the weight front yet :/ God, I just have 3 months and I have’nt started with anything yet.
  • Done with the honeymoon bookings
  • Done with the photographer and videographer bookings
  • Bangles and Dupatta are pending. I got the white chooda part though.
  • Got a nice sela with paithani work from Ratanshi Kheraj. The entire work comes on the front when the saree is worn Gujurati style.
  • Yet to find a nice gown for the DJ
  • Done with the gold and diamond jewellery shopping too.

I buy my diamonds from Manubhai Jewellers in Mumbai. I think they are the best in Mumbai when it comes to diamonds and the designs they have are more than any other store in Mumbai.

In addition, I got some nice golden leg thongs (the one which are tied up like anklets but connect to the second toe like haathphool) and a pretty rose gold clutch from the World Trade Center exhibition. I am planning to wear the leg thongs during the wedding. Also, I got nice gold Inc.5 weddingey shoes.

Also bought sarees and dresses and few dresses from the boy’s side too. Few are semi stitched, so have to get them stitched. Got one white and pink pretty chaniya choli. Even that was semi stitched, have already given that for stitching.

Next week, going to Gaurang, the famous guy who designs and stitches designer blouses for gharchoda since I don’t know how many years. (Pink Lady in Ghatkopar) I have heard a lot about him. I would be getting my morning mandva sela and gharchoda blouse designed by him.

I stocked on some basic lingerie during the Marks & Spencer sale. Have to get a few more things. You must have seen the bikini and chemise I got HERE. Also have some stuff from La Senza (Love this blue one from the Show Off Collection..my first La Senza :p ). Planning to buy a few more things like a multi way bra, pasties, etc.,you know how the backless and deep back cholis,etc are.

I know I have to do a bridal makeup artists and photographers in Mumbai post since a long time. I will definitely do it, caught up with a lot of things right now.

Also, yours truly is nominated for the ELLE Beauty Awards Blogger of the Year 2014. Our first challenge was a braided look. If you can please spare a second to vote me HERE, I did be thankful 🙂
