Think Virginia Mayo with a nose piercing.
And what's a Bollywood wedding without the Hindu ceremony and big Hollywood money? For today's wedding, I present to you a splurge vs steal Bollywood wedding.
On the splurge side, we start with a lovely bridal ghagras from Khaas Boutique ($760). In Bollywood style, traditional jewelry with the diamond flair, earings ($9,172.35), tikka headpiece ($424), bangle bracelet ($4,488), and necklace ($2,756.30) from the Gold Palace.
In proper Hindu style, next is the mandap, a special pillared canopy the couple and their parents (and the maid and man of honor) all sit during the ceremony. This lovely piece ($4,000) is from Nu Creations. For the reception, a beautiful indoor affair complete with lounging couches and an indoor tent ($15,000). To top it off, a cake from Ann Ogden of Celebrations Ltd in the Caman Islands ($4,000).
And now - the steal. The dress, a bridal sari ($389) from Kaneesha. The jewelry, a set also from Kaneesha, and made with plated gold, comes with the necklace, tikka, and earrings ($89). The bangle bracelet ($25), in traditional wedding red is from Kaneesha as well.
For the mandap, instead of a solid structure, a beautiful tent ($2,000) from Raj Tents (my favorite). The reception, an outdoor affair, again from Raj Tents ($4,000). And last but not least -the cake, from More than Cakes ($600) mirroring the outline of the splurge cake (and the flowers), but just no additional piping (and made in the states).
Overall - the splurge cake came in at $40,600. And the steal at 17% the cost - $7,103!
