ISHA AMBANI’S POSH AND ROYAL WEDDING

When it comes to any event hosted by the Ambanis’, it is expected to be synonymous with grandeur and luxury. If it is the marriage of the Reliance Chairperson, Mukesh and Nita Ambani’s daughter, Isha Ambani, it has to be the grandest and richest of affairs. Such weddings are epitome of everything classy and stylish and of course, expensive. It is not the extravaganza that makes it special.

It is also the humility, sticking to one’s roots and honouring one’s traditions that add to its charm. There is no denying the fact that the invitees are also those who are the masters of their worlds and this wedding also witnessed many of the prolific personalities at Antilia. The guest list included former President of India Pranab Mukherjee, former US First Lady Hillary Clinton, Bollywood stars Priyanka Chopra and husband Nick Jonas, the Bachchan family and the who's who of the worlds of business, showbiz and politics.  

Isha Ambani and Anand Piramal tied the knot on December 12 at Antilia in Mumbai. Isha married Piramal Group's Ajay Piramal and Swati Piramal's son, Anand. The pre-wedding ceremomies began from December 8th when the couple hosted their grand pre-wedding event in Udaipur. What could be more happiness than witnessing live performance of American pop sensation Beyonce? No need to say that the party held everyone’s attention and was immensely enjopyed by the guests.

For the wedding ceremony Isha and Anand looked quite the picture-perfect, love-struck newlyweds. Not only their ensembles radiated class and sophistication but they also spoke of the couple’s impeccable choice. Isha’s lehenga created that stunning, innocent look of a young bride in off-white colour adorned with sea-green embellishments. Her heavy choker, an exquisitely designed nose ring, a beautiful maang tika and bangles complimented the look and made her look all the more endearing.  Her poise reflected in the way she carried herself elegantly. Her floral embroidered dupatta looked sensational. There was minimal make-up. Her low bun with a center parting gave an impression of gorgeousness unmatched.

Her natural looking strong brows, smokey eyes, red lips, red bindi and radiant smile said it all. The couple had a pleasent aura which made them a perfect match. This girl with her natural glam looked dazzling with the off-white colour making her face glow with happiness. The groom colour coordinated with the bride’s attire and looked no less dashing in off-white Sherwani.

It was an event which emanated bon-homie and a spirit of brotherhood. The guests in their most beautiful attires looked ravishing, especially the Bollywood celebrities, like Aishwarya Rai who wore a vibrant red saree in a traditional style and looked majestic. Abhishek Bachchan’s black bandhgala suit looked equally elegant. Alia Bhatt stole the show with her white lehenga adorned with blue Chikankari work. Karan Johar’s white sherwani with sea-green embroidery had a soothing effect. It was Kiara Advani’s stunning looks in baby pink lehenga that mesmerised everyone. The family portrait that would leave anyone breathless was Amitabh Bachchan with his wife Jaya Bachchan, their daughter Shweta and granddaughter Navya Naveli, dressed to kill. Their apparels along with their jewellery left the impression of a regal affair.

LOOK YOUR BEST WHEN YOU SHOP ONLINE FOR MEN’S BLAZERS

A plain jacket not forming part of a suit but considered appropriate for formal wear is called a blazer. As Wikipedia defines it, a Blazer is a type of jacket resembling a suit jacket, but cut more casually. It is generally distinguished from a sport coat as a more formal garment and tailored from solid colour fabrics.

Blazers often have naval-style metal buttons to reflect their origins as jackets worn by boating club members. Blazers are worn with a wide variety of other clothes, ranging from a dress shirt and necktie to an open-necked polo shirt, or even just a plain T-shirt. They are seen with trousers of all colours and fabrics, from the classic white cotton or linen, to grey flannel, to brown or beige chinos, and also jeans.

The sartorial term blazer originated with the red "blazers" of the Lady Margaret Boat Club (1825), the rowing club of St. John's College, Cambridge. In the traditional sense, these blazers are single-breasted, and often of bright colours or with piping. The short double-breasted jacket was originally the reefer jacket of naval origin and it is descendants of this which are now commonly described by the term blazer. Originally with black horn buttons, these jackets evolved to the modern dark blazer, now single as well as double breasted, and with metallic buttons.

Modern times have witnessed extensive use of blazers in all colours and fabric for men. In fact this outfit has found place in casual as well as formal men’s wear. It defines style and grace without flamboyance and it can be worn for any occasion, to suit any mood. It would not be wrong to say that celebrities and models all around the world have contributed immensely in increasing the popularity of these blazers which in fact are the first choice of a man going to office or a man going for a party. The smart, stylish and modern looks lent by these blazers are unmatched.




Shopping for the trendy and formal blazers have become quite an easy task as now they are available in array of colours, cut and designs at online stores. Online shopping has become a rage in recent past because of convenience and comfort. Though it is important to remember that it becomes consumers’ responsibility to shop smartly which means that they have to be alert and cautious in choosing their online store. It is important to realise that all that glitters is not gold, so doing thorough research about the website is a must. Also check that it offers secure payment modes apart from giving abundant choices at the most competitive prices. Check the customer’s reviews before deciding to zero it down.



We personify modern trends and fashion for men, women and children.

Color twinning at my Daughter’s wedding

Oh my god! It is wedding day; few hours are left we have to leave for the venue. No one is ready, still so many preparations are needed to be done. Being a mother of a daughter who is getting married, leads to busy you. I have to get ready for the evening and I have to check if my princess is ready.

At the time of your child’s wedding there are so many arrangements that are required to be made, that you don’t get time for yourself to get ready for your child’s special day. And then the other thing you have to make sure that the outfit you pick does not look too gaudy as per your age.

Leaving in U.S., it has always been a tougher choice to fetch Indian ethnic wear. And selecting an Indian clothes online shopping site can buy you some risks as some sites do not meet the quality standards as per the expectations. But finally, my daughter found one and ordered few fancy sarees for me for the wedding. 

She wanted me to match the clothes of our color on each and every occasion. That is why, for the Haldi ceremony she ordered a yellow saree for me. I always prefer light-weight sarees as with passing age it is getting difficult for me to tackle. So, for Haldi ceremony I wore this yellow Bhagalpuri silk saree handcrafted with thread.

For Mehendi ceremony, we twinned in henna green color. I wore this art silk saree beautifully embroidered and embellished with thread and sequins. Everyone loved this saree as the color and fabric quality were exemplary.

 

After that for the sangeet ceremony, she chose orange attires for both of us. For me she picked up an orange kanjeevaram silk saree gracefully handwoven. The color was so radiant and graceful.

And today my daughter wants me to wear a red saree as she is also wearing red lehenga for the wedding. I am going to wear this bright banarasi silk saree precisely handcrafted with thread. This will perfectly go with golden jewelries and subtle makeup. Indian silk sarees can accentuate your looks into multiple times. This will perfectly suit the occasion and this is diaphanous & light-weight saree so it will be easier for me to get grips with the work. 

 

So, I am all set for today’s evening. I hope my daughter will love it. I want to make this day a special one from my end. You can also go for Indian silk sarees as they create perfect wedding saree collection with the lavish look and sheer quality.

4 ACCESSORIES THAT COMPLIMENT YOUR INDIAN DESIGNER SAREE

Do you love flaunting your Indian designer saree? Want to glam it up even more? Traditional accessories are the perfect way to add a touch of richness to an already stunning looking saree.

Here are four accessories that will perfectly complement your Indian designer saree:

1. Wrist Candy

 

Your saree look would be deemed incomplete without some bangles or even a single kada. These wrist ornaments draw attention to your hands and arms, so don’t forget to get a manicure as well. When selecting bangles or kadas to go with your saree, opt for ones in the same color. If this happens to be a neutral or multi-colored saree, then consider matching the border. If this trick doesn’t seem to work, opt for gold tones. Gold toned bangles and kadas never go out of style!
 

2. Ear Sparklers

 

One of the best earring styles to pair with a designer saree is a pair of jhumkas. These feature a stud that fasten to your ear and a portion that dangles from the stud. There are many jhumka designs and sizes in the market. Some feature temple inspired designs while others have meenakari and or pacchi designs. The size variety in jhumkas is also enormous. If you have a round face, opt for smaller jhumkas. Smaller or longer facial structures look spectacular with larger jhumkas.

Here, we have additional earring styling tips for your designer saree:

- If you’re wearing a handloom saree, consider earrings with silver and stone work.
- Sarees with heavy embellishments look beautiful in meenakari jhumkas.
- Designer sarees made from chiffon, georgette or crepe look best with crystal jhumkas.

3. Hand Dangler

 

Want to look ethno-chic in your designer saree? Consider carrying a potli bag. Forego large purses and opt for something more ethnic like a potli bag featuring kantha or thread work. Some of the most popular potli bag designs feature gold and brocade work. These come in an array of patterns and colors. You can carry potlis to both morning and evening occasions.

4. Shoulder Sparkle 

While wearing a saree, your shoulder pleats are going to be a major show-stopper. Unfortunately these can get dishevelled rather quickly, especially if you have small kids. Keep your pallu in place forever with a beautiful, ethnic brooch. Team this up with a challa and pleat pin and your saree will sit neatly against your body for the duration of the outing. Brooches add a touch of sparkle and glam to your saree without going overboard. Besides, they’re nicer to look at than safety pins.

With these four accessories, you emerge like a goddess in your Indian designer sarees. Visit Indian Wedding Saree to shop now.

TIPS FOR KEEPING YOUR INDIAN SILK SAREE IN TOP SHAPE

An Indian silk saree is one of the most prized pieces of clothing a woman owns. You will often see a silk saree worn during weddings, festivals, religious ceremonies and even parties. Some silk sarees are so treasured that they are passed on from mothers to daughters.



The Indian silk saree you have is likely a treasured item too. Learn how to care for it so that you can pass it on to your daughter with the following tips on how to keep your silk saree in top shape:

1. Before keeping your folded silk saree in your wardrobe, wrap it up with a cotton material and then store. This material can be a towel or even an old cotton saree.

2. If your silk saree has zari work on it, fold the saree in such a way that the zari embroidery folds inwards. This helps protect the zari’s shine.

3. Sometimes we get silk sarees as gifts which we might not wear that often. Ensure you take it out of the closet every six months and place it near sunlight for a few hours. Then refold and store it again. This helps maintain the saree’s shine and color.

4. Avoid storing your silk saree with other types of sarees like georgette, polyester and chiffon.

5. Skip hanging your silk saree on a metal hanger. The metal might rust over time, staining your expensive saree.

6. The best way to clean heavy silk and pattu sarees is via dry cleaning.

7. If you’ve got a very intricately embroidered silk saree like a Kancheevaram or Banarasi silk saree, then take the cotton material and wrap it around each saree fold. Avoid folding two silk sarees together or placing two sarees in one cotton cover.

8. Skip washing your saree in a washing machine, even if the manufacturer claims you can do so.

9. If your silk saree remains folded for too long, it can cause permanent fold marks and tears. Once in a while, open up your saree and fold it another way. This prevents permanent creasing.

10. If you need to iron your saree at home, set the iron to ‘silk’ setting and avoid pressing too hard on the material. If you’re known to iron with pressure, consider placing a cotton material on top of your silk saree while ironing. Iron gently!



With these tips in hand, you will preserve your Indian silk saree for a very long time. Visit Indian Wedding Saree to shop for silk sarees.
