i also love that while they opted to have the wedding at home, they didn’t sacrifice style, or a good photographer, at all. i find a lot of desi couples opt to keep things overly simple bordering on boring if they’re having an at-home affair and don’t believe in investing time/effort into the occasion as much as they would into a big reception. its a bit disappointing, imho, but maybe i just haven’t met people who do that.
what do you brides and grooms think? would any of you opt for a wedding like this? close, intimate, simple but still very chic and well-designed, detail-oriented, and at home?
I would love, love, LOVE to have my wedding at home in such a simple, vintage and rustic fashion! I love the mismatched chairs, and the flowers and how the whole house seems to be used! The photography is gorgeous.
However it probably depends on the "size of your house":"no. of guess" ratio.....
Also I find (slightly off topic, sorry!), in weddings, two things that stand out are the brides dress and the décor..
In western weddings, when the brides dress is white, it allows for use of a no. of theme colours and accents in her bouquet, in the décor, the cake, the table settings etc.
However in desi weddings, I find that, because the bride has usually such a richly coloured dress, using too much colour in the above mentioned décor can make it look quite saturated/congested...
Just my opinion...
^ so alter the color of your dress! ;) i had a champagne and tan dress and you're right, i was able to do a lot more with the decor that wasn't typical red roses because of it.
I want exactly that ! i’m getting married next summer and i want to be at home because a)i think there’s no better place to get married especially when you have a big house and garden and b) the wedding halls are rubbish in the Paris area, but it still has to be really chic and like you said detail oriented, the only real problem i have yet to deal with is where are the guests gonna park their cars ?
actually now that i think of it, if parking spaces are limited, it will force them to show up on time

HA! I'm nowhere NEAR getting married....but I shall surely keep that in mind! Champagne and Tan are such lovely colours!
that sounds fab! you live in Paris? totally jealous right now lol
how about arranging a valet service for the cars? i’m pretty sure that service should be available privately. you can add a little enclosure in your wedding invitations letting guests know they’re to drop the cars off at the front door with the valet service.
I’ve always wanted to have a seperate Nikkah at home with only very close family and friends present. I think it just makes the occasion all the more special and intimate. The thing with Asian weddings is that even though you may be the bride or groom, chances are you won’t know (or won’t be close to) a lot of the guests there eg parents friends - their families. I can’t tell you how many wedding I’ve been to where I’ve never ever met the bride or groom before, I only know them as so and so’s daughter/son.
We’ve hosted events in our house where we’ve had nearly 80 people present so it’s definitely possible. It would probably take some persuading to get my Mum on board though, it is a huge responsibility (I’m thinking more about the huge clean up operation that would have to happen the next day).
But yeah, I have decor ideas and all sorts planned out in my head already…time to find a groom?

i'm from Paris yeah, thanks for the valet idea !! , i also thought about that but i'll have to investigate since i never heard of someone having that at their wedding !

We are a company specialized in **the transport of passengers **and also in the valet parking service for private parties and all sorts of events or under contract.
hubby’s cousin had valet parking for their event. it worked really well and was so painless for guests!
My nikkah is in December. And at home! We talked to the caterers and he said it's completely possible. This is in Lahore. Not Paris (sorry). Hehe. And I was delighted. The
Comfort of being at home will be imcomparable. And plus the STUPID laws with weddings can somehow be overcome. No 10pm rule and no one dish rule. So I'm pretty ecstatic. :)
If it was any desi wedding all the rustic decor would be thought of as clutter & I can actually hear the mum yelling to clean up the house, mehman ayengaye aj! .ANd what the hell is cutlery doing in jars?! it should either be on the table , on the side table or in drawers.:D
I would love the idea of having my Nikaah at home. So many ideas are forming in my head already! It woul be so intimate and relaxed and I would be leaving my house with THE beat memory - that I got married there. You could get ready in your own bedroom and it would be really sentimental because it would be such a transition from single to married life!! You could decorate your own house EXACTLY the way you want with no stupid rules bout what you can do in a venue or the extravagant prices. Everything would seem so relaxed and intimate.
Dammit! And I've already booked the Nikaah place. Plus even if I'm making all of it sound so good theres
No way my mum would have agreed to it because our house is so tiny and a STATE.

depends on who the desis you know are, i suppose lol
lol @ the cutlery comment. boho chic and all that, you know? ;)
lol : did nobody get the satire from my comments ? TO clarify I loved the vintage vibe from the processing of the photos to the decor.
But I can’t imagine it in a desi wedding. Translated yes, as it is? NO. It’s too small a place to fit in the usual size of our “close family” only let alone friends & others.
Unless the groom and bride eloped and got married in a gora friends house and they chose all the guests
?
i’m loving the idea more and more !
