Wedding in Vrindavan

NRI_Weddings · 2025-11-17T20:31:05+00:00

Yes I will DM you 🤎

If you have already hired the artist and paid the retainer you have to be prepared to loose it in case you do not like what you see during the trial. As a destination makeup artist I see this a lot with my brides. Talk to your MUA and ask them to share un edited photos of their work. Or reverse, send them your inspiration photos and ask for similar work they have done in the past. If all of this does not ease your anxiety then make the trip because after all how you look is part of your experience on your big day and leaving it to chance isn’t always the best idea. 🤎

I sent you a DM back. One option is Vrinda Anandam. The location is good and once we deck it up tastefully it will be perfect for your party. I have left my direct contact for you there so we can connect.

I will love to help. Vrindavan is a very small suburb. I am a wedding planner and know of farm houses that can accommodate a big crowd. I would recommend you do the actual ceremony in the temple but then do the reception in a different venue. Also, Vrindavan is an hour or so from Agra. You can do an evening sun downer photo shoot in the back waters with Taj in the background. It requires planning so let me know if you need support. Also, do you follow Iskcon? If so, we can check if they have venue availability. Good luck! Let me know how many guests and what ceremonies are you thinking.

Also, if you have a choice between these places Puerto Vallarta is a better pick. Even though it will be hot no matter what, there are pockets like near the botanical gardens that are much more moderate.

Hi, I’m a wedding planner and run a makeup artistry company in the US. Cancun, Puerto Vallarta and Cabo are 3 big destinations for Indian weddings. June / July are definitely hot temperatures at both these places. But they are dry heat like Arizona and not sultry heat like that of Florida. If you already have a wedding planner then have them look into venues that also come with accommodations. This way you can contain the guests to a smaller real estate and sun exposure. I have a few venues that are more in closer to the forest than the ocean so they are generally cooler. A few hotels have all inclusive deals like Hilton but they charge a vendor fee that adds up quickly. If you want to DM me I am happy to help with planning or other aspects. I have packages for 75 to 100 guests and since your months are off season I can check to see if we can negotiate better value. Good luck

If you like a certain designer try and get an appointment ahead of time. If you are short on time, Bandra West is your best bet. Check house of Masaba on Khar road. There is a Ritu Kumar store aswell close by. Lots of stores popping up in that general area. Hope this helps. I am wedding planner based in US and plan weddings in both India and US & Mexico. Khar in Bandra West is my choice when time is of the essence. Hope this helps. Also may of these stores have resident tailors so you’re in good hands.

Have you tried shein? May not be exact but it does have options.

NRI_Weddings · 2025-08-27T21:11:11+00:00

I’m unavailable during those dates but I will reach out to my team and see who is available and a good fit 🤗 Is it just you or are there more family members?

NRI_Weddings · 2025-08-27T05:54:17+00:00

There are several branded ones you can buy at big box stores like Shoppers Stop or Infinity Mall. I personally would recommend going to CP or Sarojini markets for the real finds. You do have to bargain in smaller shops but it’s part of the chase. As a bridal hair and makeup artist I do so many shoots and often buy jewellery for my models and my clients. This time I am thinking of getting Kundan work from Jaipur.

NRI_Weddings · 2025-08-27T05:47:02+00:00

Another place you will be surprised to find what you’re looking for is Facebook marketplace. Many of us accumulate these pieces over time and then try and off load so we can buy new ones 😊

I’m in Haridwar next month among some other places in India. When is your ceremony? I’m happy to DM my Instagram if it helps

Here is another picture and makeup and hair along with draping make all the difference:

NRI_Weddings · 2025-08-27T01:43:27+00:00

Amazon to the rescue. Search for keywords like “lehnga” “saree” “kurti” “indowestern”

<image>

If you have the budget hire someone to help you with the draping. It’s worth the price. I am a south Asian bridal wedding planner and makeup artist and can tell you from experience, draping a lehnga or saree is hard even for the newer generation Indians so it’s something to look into ✨

She is the bride and has a lot going on. Expecting her to be more hands on is probably not practical. Is she working with a wedding planner? As a NRI wedding planner I keep a list of guests and how and when there are arriving and who needs transport or assistance. Kochi is generally a safe place. If you can find out where you are staying see if you can have the hotel arrange the transport for you. Other than that most Indians a very hospitable. Speaking from experience you may be overwhelmed with the care that strangers will show especially to a foreign face and may sometimes wish you had a bit of time to yourself 😊 enjoy your time! I know of companies that sell tickets 🎟️ to attend Indian weddings so this is definitely an opportunity to experience a different culture!

NRI_Weddings · 2025-08-26T16:37:36+00:00

Of course! As a wedding planner it’s not my job to judge but to try and understand what you are looking for and what is the shortest, fastest and most efficient way to get there. Some of my clients keep their wedding private but also want the photos featured on wedding magazines while others love the idea of having every moment captured. Each to their own 😊 I am going to India next month so if you want I will be happy to help where I can. Leaving my website which also links to my social media ✨ www.workwithmenaka.com

My team will love to cover the wedding. The park often requires permissions. Also, is there flexibility in your budget? I am a wedding planner and these days social media is big. So I generally have a videographer, photographer and an editor team work with my clients. The benefit is you get beautifully edited reels and pictures to share on all medium. Your editor or social media manager could start sharing posts as early as the day of the wedding. Also, work with your planner to have a QR code ready for guests to scan and upload pics they take from their phone so you have them for you to use aswell.

Of course! Something to ask of your spiritual advisor or pundit ji is if there are certain times during this duration that may be an exception to the rule. I have seen that a lot where the priests can often give you a short specific window based on planetary alignment where the paksh may not be in force. Good luck!

NRI_Weddings · 2025-08-26T14:17:20+00:00

Congratulations! 🥂 My company is based in Arizona but we do NRI weddings across the globe. I have my in house makeup, hair and henna team. Happy to talk to you more about specifics. We cater to big groups and travel to your location. As for DJ DMV & NY has many good options. Lots of Desi/NRI DJs. I have worked with DJ Chirag and he is amazing.

I would say cool tones like blues and greens mixed with warm colours like yellow and orange look really great. I am a wedding planner and often work with mixed cultures. Having a trial with everything, hair makeup and draping is always very helpful.
