Affordable Wedding Suits Salwar Kameez

Trendy Yet Affordable Designer Salwar Kameez Suits for Indian Weddings

Over the past several months, I have had several brides-to-be email me asking for tips on finding affordable bridal dresses. As we all know (being desis), weddings are elaborate affairs, and parents will go all out planning their child's wedding.

But given today's economic climate, many brides-to-be and grooms-to-be do not want to spend too much on their weddings. They would rather save the money for an uncertain economic future.

Bridal dresses can be rather expensive. But no worries, one can cut down the expense and yet retain designer chic dress quality for your wedding.

Here's how to cut down wedding bridal dress costs: simply look to designers that design dresses for high-society parties or the like. These dresses cost a fraction of a standard bridal dress, yet retain the elegance that you would want in a bridal dress.

Check out some designers I came cross, using the method I wrote about above!

Below are fantastic Indian Salwar Kameez suits that are beautiful enough to be worn by a bride :)

Indian Bridal Lehnga Designs | Pink Styles

Here are some stunning bridal lehnga designs that I came across recently. Pink is definitely a hot pick for Indian Bridal Wear. Colors in the pink scheme are naturally complementary to most Indian skin tones. Colors in the pink family are also highly complementary to the silver and gold embellishments on traditional bridal lehngas.

When you surf the web looking for bridal dresses, you are most likely to find more selections available for red bridal dresses than in other colors. But pink is fast gaining popularity, and this is reflected in the Bridal Lehnga Designs that are becoming available.

So if you are a bride looking for a pink Indian Bridal Lehnga Design, do check out the designs below.

Indian Bridal Face Mask: How to Get Radiant Skin for Your Wedding

Indian women are known to use tumeric face masks to brighten their skins - most Indian women in India use natural homemade face masks as part of their regular beauty regime. One famous Indian woman who uses tumeric face masks regularly is Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai. She is known for her natural beauty and is considered one of the most good looking woman in the world!

It is no surprise then that traditionally Indian brides use tumeric face masks the day before their wedding to brighten their skin.

The ingredients used in the Indian Bridal Face Mask are chickpea flour, tumeric powder and almond oil. The chickpea flour acts as an oil absorbent, turmeric is good because it is anti-inflammatory and antiseptic (very good for acne-prone skin) and almond oil is wonderful for moisturing.

Indian Bridal Face Mask for Radiant Skin:

1 cup of chickpea flour
3 tablespoons of tumeric (powdered form)
Almond Oil (enough to form paste)

Directions for Use:

Mix all the ingredients into a bowl. Apply all over the face and the body, and then let set for a few minutes. You may leave it on longer if you please. The remove by rubbing off the paste with your hands. The rubbing will help to exfoliate - it actually helps to remove baby (fine) facial hair. Then wash off the rest of the paste.

You will end up with baby soft skin!

Recommendation:

If you do not usually apply face masks, then you should plan on beginning a pre-wedding beauty regime at least two months before your wedding day. This is ensure that you will see the benefits of the ingredients used in the Indian Bridal Face Mask. After all, Rome was't built in a day. If you have not been taking care of your skin, applying the Indian Bridal Face Mask one day before your weddding will not suddenly and miraculously alter your skin!
