intense flower arrangement, lighting, tabel settings, etc…
provided it looks breath taking, and provided the price of all the venue dressing is reasonable…would you consider paying for all this?..
or wud u still do it urself, try and manage to buy all the flowers, put them together and buy or hire all the center pieces etc…?
i would rathet get it done from a wedding planner then doing it by all myself
its less hectic

yeh thats wot i meant, wud u rather get it done from a venue dresser then try and do it urself?
but im asking through asian brides point of view, as i know most asian brides wudnt bothe with flowers and table arrangements......however the enlgish ppl take great care in these things.....
so jus wondering are these days modern asian brides are as fussy about venue dressing as english ladies are?
Re: would you pay for this?
I dnt think doing it yourself is a good idea because you are busy with alot of other stuff and on top of that doing all tht would be so hectic
maybe a bit simpler, looks overcrowded on the tables. you could have the head table with the 'main centre piece' and have matching centre pieces, but smaller on the guests tables to compliment the overall theme.

i see what your saying, only problem is that the guests that come to asian weddings aren't the same as the guests coming to an english wedding (in terms of wedding mentality - i'm generalising here in the typical asian sense), where they enjoy the arrangements. asian ppl are thinking 'oh my god, wheres the food going to go!

lol....i understand....
thats the thing....english ppl appretiate the effort and decor that has been done whereas asian dont as much....but i can understand that modern couples or asians are starting to get into this a lot more then jus a typical wedding with only food.....
but girls....as latest brides as urselves, wud u pay for this look?....silsila i can understand with smaller center pieces but still wud u wana go for the wow factor look...or get a normal decor done?
only the last one!
wot do u mean there ur photos?.........u mean the last one was ur wedding? did it happen in LA?
i jus took these off net to describe wot i wana ask bout......

i'll get it done frm venue dresser
i personally wouldn't, i'd have a smaller arrangement and would pay attention to the smaller details which inevitably are the things which stand out at asian weddings, especially in the professional pictures. the pics you posted although are nice, do have a bit of a tacky feel....overcrowding and boudouir style, i know they are only examples........
I know that more and more asian couples are getting into this, but its more for themselves rather than guests, given our asian guests wouldn't give it a second look (i'm talking again in the typical generalised sense and there will be exceptions!)

haha, so true. my aunt said this exact thing to my cousins when they were fussing over this stuff. but they are getting married in pakistan so it's even more extreme. she was like, 'a lot of people are just coming to eat, they don't even care if they see you or not'. so they are doing their tables and the family tables real nice for the photographs and leaving the others.
if their weddings were in the UK, it would just be family and close friends so it would be worth all the effort.

yeh i totally understand.....
i know that these days asian brides are doing it for themselves and for their wedding and not really caring about typical asian values......but do u think they'd still pay to get a great look for their venue?
the pictures above are of some very rich clients in LA of their wedding days.....so its becoming more more fashionable to have huge center pieces full of flowers where guests feel like the A-list celebrity...:D
i know what you mean, but the money spent on that decor alone in the pics, could pay for lots of weddings for poor girls around the world, yes i know thats extreme, but when i see how much i spent, it does make me feel bad when ppl are struggling to pay for a lengha which only cost 5 thousand ruppees. it was on tv i think, geo...........sad xxxx
plus asian ppl tend to move the centrepieces to get there bloody food on, that happened at this wedding i went to! lol

yeh i hate when its all about the food....
but this trend is dying out anyway.......these days mothers and aunts are as much as into this as the brides are (only the forward thinking ones)...the stuff about 'oh its all about the food at the wedidngs' is steadily dying out.....when parents see how much all this means to their daughters at their wedding they wud put that extra care in everything.....
but wudnt half a hall nicely done and other not nicely done, look wierd in the photos?
for e.g. when i planned my wedding, i wanted the above center pieces, but given the time i din have time to do it myself, so i went with summit small.....plus trying to find all the right stuff within reasonable budget and making it on the last night was a no-no.......it couldnt have been done t my perfection......so i had to hire somebody to do it for me......
but my question still remains......is it likely that more n more asian brides of today will pay for this fantastic decor or think 'wots the point spending soo much on flowers might as well do it urself at home'?
oh yeh lets not forget the trays of trays of food…
the wedding i went to it was soooooooooo posh…we were served food in our plates already persented by the chef…so there were no trays and kids screaming ‘bring it here…bring it here’…
isnt that wots strating to happen these days?..more modern parties and weddings? or do we have to wait for a good decade to see all this change?
Re: would you pay for this?
i think if u had time you could do artificial arrangements, which would last forever and could get ppl to take after the wedding, if the centrepiece is set so high up, ppl couldn't tell if they were real or fake! lol
i dont think it would be weird if you decorated half of the hall, im sure it would be done in a way which would create balance to the venue, and to tell the photographer to focus on the decor
times will deffo change i mean look at the weddings 10 years ago and how they are now!
Re: would you pay for this?
but if uve all notice…the table is already laid out with plates and all, so the food wud be served in plates induidually, without any trays and stuff…
i guess thats the main difference in asian and english weddings…its already nicely presented rather then bring variety of food and start picking ur own.
i think the payal caterign service in manchester they do that…i might be wrong…but i think they serve induidually in plates as guests have already picked the menu for the day…
but if we were to start doing that guests wud be complaining, ‘y cudnt we have a taster of everything rather then pick one meal…paise khutum ho gaye thei kiya’?..
not sure if there are your family friends, but don't use them! My husband has used them for his business events/award ceremonies etc and they have had really bad reviews and poor service. i asked him if we could have used them for ours and he said 'no way'!
