A couple of weeks ago I attended a wedding… It was utterly beautiful! I got to spend lots of time with the bride & her wonderful family! I’m sure some of you have been waiting for this post to let me get straight to it!
This is the sari I wore to the mehndi (henna) night! I wanted something colourful, yet light as I knew dancing would be involved! As soon as I saw this in the shops I knew I had to have it I LOVE the colour combination, it’s really different!

Mineralize Skin Finish Powder by MAC.

This is the sari I wore to the wedding. I went for something different, as this isn’t your traditional sari. I literally wrapped it around me three times & I was done! HASSLE FREE I was drawn to this one because of the style & the colours - super summery!

I also had my hair done for the first time, ever!! I was afraid it wouldn’t last in my hair as it’s quite long and super thick! But it turned out lovely - we all had fresh flowers in our hair, it was such a ELEGANT touch
My favourite sari had to be the one I wore to the reception! Black & gold NEVER goes out of fashion & this one is amazing! So light, easy to move in it but lovely & sparkly at the same time! Again, this was easy to put on as it came ready pleated at the front & at the shoulder
It has gorgeous gem & beaded work on the hip of the sari as you can see above & below…
Along with similar embroidery on the shoulder! There’s a close-up of it above & from a short distance below
For the reception we literally had 20-30 minutes to get ready (which is why most of my make-up stayed the same apart from a few additions on top of what I already had on)

These are a few of my favourite pictures from the wedding It went so well & I had a fantastic time… I want to do it all over again
P.S - I got all of my sari’s (minus the one from India) from ANOKHI Sari’s in Leicester - they’re website isn’t any ASOS but I would highly recommend this shop if you’re based in &/or around that area. My sari’s for the wedding were ONE-OFF designer pieces… If you’re like me & you want designer sari’s (that no one else will have) your best bet is to go to the store
love the black and gold one and also ur hair that day
Beautifulllll!
