If there is one thing all brides want it is to have all eyes on them as they walk up the aisle. Come on, don’t deny it! It is your time in the spotlight and you should enjoy it. But what about your wedding jewellery? If you’re not wearing family heirlooms is important to find the right jewellery pieces to match your personality and your wedding theme.
As always we’re continuously trying to bring you’re the old, the new and perhaps something blue when it comes to bridal accessory designers. US based designer Tejani is one of these. Having made its entrance onto the New York Fashion scene in 2004, the driving force being the brand is New York City designer Urvi Tejani who decided to launch a wedding collection with the idea of bringing couture jewellery to brides at an affordable price.
Staying true to her Indian heritage each piece has an ethnic flair yet with a modern twist. We are very impressed with what we have seen so far and can’t wait for new additions. Oh and they do ship internationally – we checked!
Check out some of Tejani’s designs below…

Asian Weddings, Venues

The Cinnamon Club is one of the most unusual restaurants I’ve ever visited, so when I found out it was available as a wedding venue, my imagination was fired with ideas for exotic wedding themes.
Housed in the historic former Westminster Library, the Cinnamon club is a sprawling, fine-dining Indian restaurant that retains many of its bookish features, with oak-panelling throughout. Available for hire are its mine dining room, mezzanine floor and subterranean bar, where delicious Indian-style canapés and cocktails can be served.

US-Indian weddings are finding it easier than ever to have a spectacular start to their weddings. Elephants and white horses can be hired for the marriage procession – or baraat – but prices aren’t cheap. Horses cost a mere $500 compared to the minimum of £8,500 that Minnie the elephant will set the groom back and that cost could rise to £30,000 depending on how far she has to travel.
“Elephants are the latest trend – and because there are not many around the demand is always high,” Sonal Shah, who runs an event planning agency Save The Date, told BBC News. Shah also commented, “There’s a great craze for new unreleased models of cars like Aston Martins, Ferraris and Lamborghinis for the baraat and I am also doing one where the groom will land on a helicopter.” [via BBC News]

Once upon a time, before you even got to the point of picking out a wedding dress, you actually had to find the right person to marry. In today’s high-pressure, time-poor society that is no easy feat. Many of my single friends ask me where all the good men are as if there is some hiding place where the nice ones are stashed, and I just don’t know. I suspect men might be wondering where all the good women are too. So what does a person do when s/he wants to settle down but doesn’t have the other half? Enter Asian marriage broker Aneela Rahman who in a new BBC2 series is applying Asian marriage brokering techniques to Western clients.
The idea is quite simple. Every woman has relatives and friends and each of these people know single men and other people who also know single men. For some of us that might sound like matchmaking hell, but if you’re on the look out for a potential mate and can’t find one, you may as well accept some help and let your friends and family choose one for you, or, at the very least, suggest a person.

Asian weddings get all the best jewellery! Though having said that, it was a real struggle to find decent websites dedicated to this kind of accessories and jewellery, so it was a pleasure to come across this company.
Shefaly offers a huge range of really gorgeous costume jewellery, for weddings or otherwise, and I was particularly struck by this raindrop set. The main design incorporates these vibrant green and turquoise stones in a drop shape. The necklace and earrings are available in a set together for £75, then the gorgeous hair tear-drop for your forehead will really complete the look for £25. Shefaly also offers a huge range of sparkly Swarovski cufflinks, perfect for giving your man some pizzazz!

I could have chosen to show you one of the more western styled outfits from Tarun Tahiliani’s bridal collection (think white lengha or coloured western veils with traditional eastern outfits) but then I decided an explosion of colour would be more fun for this Friday morning. You won’t go wrong with this bright red gown. Embroidered in a repeat pattern from knee to hem with detailing picked out at the scoop neckline and bodice, paired with a matching veil, it’s a beautiful look indeed.
