Part one----- traditional saree-----------

Was thinking about changing Bridal's of Bangladesh ,one thing is catching me most that - are we loosing the simplicity of Bengali Culture ! Are we taking everything from every other culture and forgetting our own But gladly the girl who wears Pakistani styled gharara or a piece from any renowned Indi designer which are completely Punjabi styled( i secretly think Sabyasachi our own as his designs are so much Influenced from Bengali Culture they also wear a piece of Jamdani or a traditional which resemble our culture even if is a piece of kanjipuram the brides wear ! For me A piece of Traditional saree at your wedding is must Thing and i am so glad that recently i ve witnessed some of extraordinary brides who pulled it ravishingly ------ Some of my fav . . .

Get creative with the blouse with the dupatta you will be wearing , risk a little for god sake - keep it simple and finally my dear do not fear of experimenting in color when you are one wearing a traditional piece . . . & keep rocking & keep checking my blog brides ! my next blog is about designer Bridals ;) ----------------Samreen

The big nakchabi , or the panja or the plain innocent bridal makeup on a bride i like about these bride is
1. Her Big Nak chabi and pure gold eyeshadow without glitter

2. the classic classic beni and moss green smoky eyes and the lil bindi on her forehead
and the forever traditional shada sari laal paar with twist of green dupatta.

3. her edgy traditional look .

4. her innocence her attire , jewels moreover the almost no makeup look on the bride
Remember if you are pretty enough Much makeup will only ruin your beauty coz for pretty girls always less is more.

5. Her harry Winston engagement ring with Very very Traditional panja , Perfect comb of classic Royalty meets modern royalty.

i ll come back again with more stuffs i see i like i admire .

Tiara is back

2012-01-27T16:07:00.000+08:00

Remember our moms or aunts wedding picture , those heavy jarwa sets and the mukut on top there was a time when wedding without Tiara wasn't even thinkable then time changed new head pieces came in introduced different style diffused - Now again what i see reincarnation of a trend which is TIARA ,nothing Big but bling of Diamonds

( depend on your pocket it could be zirconia or rhinestone ;) ) but if you loaded some bling of Diamonds on Top of your head is just like suger shine over cake ! lets see some recent brides...

Wear a big one like late princess diana or a small one like Breakfast at Tiffany . . . Mukut haters Tiara is back just with a lil twist ;)

No Glitter please !

2011-12-11T00:35:00.000+08:00

some days back i asked to my users "what kind of make up trend you want in Bridal season 11-12
mostly said neutrals with air brush makeup etc... etc.... i am highly addicted with magazines, Each and every kind of .I collect 3 different vogue from 3 countries and my counting is on i read everything i get . . . so my lil research says This year its Matte matte and matte foundation gloss & glitters are phew ! gone !!!! Its time to get play with shades various neutrals mixed with playful colors ,
lips will be Bright Fuchsia,orange, bright taupe,Iced matte Mocca -----Color of the year is Tangerine orange according to the Pantone Color Institute.

And finally matte Red is gone ! So this season if you want to play with RED try orangish Red or the one with rich darker pigment . i found some exotic south asian bridals pic wanna share it badly with you . I tried to add some Bangladeshi Bridals but collection were very few . . . hopefully i ll post some more in near future ---
Top 5 eye shadow : 1. grayish/silverish/skyish gray (matte) maybe a lil hint of glossy eye highlighter .
2. Pistachio green /Aquamarine
3.Various blending with pure golden with or without smokes
4.playful neutrals / including mixing of smokes
5.Purple ( both light and dark)

And lastly Most Important is your Happy face so smile baby ;)

Floral ornaments for gaye halud -

2011-11-02T21:49:00.004+08:00

When we are talking about floral ornaments first of all i am highly addicted to baily ful er goina but due to continuous changes in bridal fashion, color palate even Halud attire ,we have to be more creative need more variation , now a days when i want to write floral i really can't help myself but ve to put words like fake beads ,fake pearls etc etc....

we often fail to capture the rawness of our own traditional halud ,which is full of yellow /bashanti toned color its full of freshness of flower its always SAREE for me. Though now a days we wore more attire like lehenga , suits, and various pattern of saree . . . whatever you are wearing always keep in mind Gaye halud -- this event is all about freshness, flawless smile and happy relative around you. NEVER NEVER over done it ,it ll just ruin the mani essence of gaye halud you wanna do experiment ? Go on do it in your Mehendi or sangeet but Gaye halud wear minimum makeup , Light attire ( specially pretty traditional saree) ,try and mix and match materials in your fresh flower jewellery Voila you are queen of the crowd ;)

Just dnt over do it !

These type of floral ornaments are really in this season -----
advice---
~try to avoid the RED -yellow fake ornaments ( at least this season )
~Avoid Gerbara flower for ornaments its really not in this season .
~Experiment with various type of flowers ,roam around the flower market pick up the fresh ones , different one ,There is no need to make ornaments with on going flowers.
~Put lots lots of fresh flower on your Khopa/ beni what ever you are doing

And always remember This is your day at the end you are the boss ;)

Nail Matters

2011-10-06T06:56:00.002+08:00

I ve seen so many brides to be or bride herself with undone nails , in our wedding time we keep our self so busy that sometimes some of us can might forget the lil details which matter ----
now you will ask are you kidding NAILS !!! oh yes nails it does matter, if you ask me when my answe ll be -- during ring ceremony during small cliches of of wedding such as shah nazar ,welcome,bidai even during dinner time it can be focused by photographers .That time i am sure you do not want your undone nails with cheap random nail polish from parlor.its simple choose what do you want .Now a days lots of nail stuffs going on --- Crazy colors, Classy french , Crackle, Nail art ,and my all time fav red nails for bride -- though now a days i am addicted with turquoise & french manicured nails with big shiny sparkle . My personal fav would be Sally Hansen anything from this brand .This autumn and upcoming winter Pumpkin orange , deep magenta, turquoise are very in.But again For a bride choose something timeless but in other small occasions you can try and mix match something else . . .

Keep Rocking ---
;)

Different attires Of Wedding - - - suits / Shalwar-kameez

2011-06-09T10:50:00.005+08:00

Well suits/shalwar kameez isn't our tradition but do not know why i am very fascinated with this attire , This seasons Suits are so in . . . specially Bridal one ---- ahhhh such a bliss
this season my eyes are wide open for such makeovers . . .
I hope we will be able to see some more styling like this . Even in wedding or walima (:

High Trend alert ---- 80's so Back (Hair)

2011-01-04T19:55:00.000+08:00

Bright lipstick, bright eyeshadow, big jewelry and big hair were all the rage in the mid 80's.
Short hair behind the ears with height on top (poofy) were definitely the thing. Big gaudy earrings and as many bracelets as you could fit on your wrist.

The early 80's involved bright neon colors such as pink and green on your clothing color, your hair pieces, shoes and jewelry. The brighter the better.
.he eighties hair for girls was big. Big in the front for women. An overall big hairstyle like on designing women or spike up bangs. Quite a bit of gel and a hairdryer for a good 80s hairstyle for women. Colored hair was very normal. Dale Bozio of the band "Missing Persons" had pink hair in 1982 and Cindi Lauper had all kinds of different colored hair from pink to purple.

Hair Bands Loads of it with daily casuals ,in parties ,more kinda emo hair with bands
With a BIG thanks to Gossip Girls Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) and serena van der woodsen(Blake lively
they are pretty much responsible for it ------- just the difference between 80's and ongoing trend is if the band is bigger then jewels are minimal ,and if jewel goes bigger (big Punk chandelier ,neck piece) then the Hair Band goes minimal -------- Just mix it with feminineness of 50's ( 80'rock + Classy American look = BINGO)

All that glitters is not gold (kundan)

2009-11-13T17:38:00.000+08:00

Many ask many time many question about Jewellery ----- Kundan,Polki,Diamond ,where to buy ,how to decide the quality ,clarity ,cut today i will try to give a rough description about kundan.

*Old, solid gold ornaments are sometimes filled with shellac. It is important to determine this in order to not be overcharged.

*In trying to differentiate between an old and a new minakari piece, remember that the older the piece, the more intricate the design and more brilliant the colour

*To identify imperfections in a diamond, look for tiny, rents or fissures and specks. If the diamond has any of these, it is flawed. Note also that a real diamond can never have scratches on its surface, if it does, it is not a diamond.

*Genuine kundan-set crystal has a mellow, opaque appearance. Artificial kundan-set crystal is transparent and it glitters. This is due to the fact that glass has been used instead of crystal and colored tinfoil under the stones to create the illusion of color.

* I know many people who buy jewellery without checking Hallmark sign backside of each pieces ,remember every year thousand of pieces came to BD from india in 18ct. with lots of minakari & kundan .So please be careful when you are buying .Every good pieces will have HALLMARK

Just remember our ancestor who did jewellery so carefully that why some of us still do have some pieces Inheritance
What you are buying today is a piece of bridal beauty but tomowrrow its you asset.

So be careful & remember all that glitters is not gold .

we recommand :
~New Jarwa House
~Purobi jewellers
~AMIN jewellers
~Venus jewellers
~Diamond World
~Dia Gold
~some of Pink citys jewellers are quite good But do check hallmark everytime & ensure the gold purity ( 18ct,21ct,22ct etc..)

Enjoy Buying

BBR recommended !!

2009-10-27T08:29:00.000+08:00

my personal fav are

BCFCC , Shena kunja, Bashundhara convention center ,Shaheen hall,shooting club,Officers club,Chowdhury community center,Sughanda community center,Emmanuels banquet hall,spectra,Dhanmondi Party Center, Ladies Club,shohagh,Samarai ,Bashundhara city grand hall :( I really miss DARBAR HALL

for other such halud
Saffron,Abacus , Panshi, Attrium, EFES,Naval Club,falcon,trust etc..... these are just i ve been these places & it was goood at least i remember i enjoyed ......some people can try some club or some good ***** or **** , *** hotels such Radisson ,westin & pan pacific sonargaon.

Please First know your venue ,do they allow vendors from outside if they dnt how much inhouse vendors costs ( caterer ,Florist,light,how they charge for each stuufz such spoon,plate napkins,chair cover,Total Costing etc.....)I know so many cases where they have to over paid for hidden things. Dont rush & let stupid things spoil your whole wedding by choosing a bad venue .... TRUST ME IT MATTERS !!!
