Effortless Hairstyle Ideas:

Classic Updo: A sleek bun always looks chic, but adding a jasmine scrunchie takes it to the next level. For extra detail, braid (Dutch or regular) the sides and blend them into your bun.

Bouncy Curls: Effortless and full of personality, loose curls pair perfectly with a maang tikka. Prefer something more structured? Try a curly ponytail with soft, face-framing pieces.

Half-Up, Half-Down: A twisted half-up style gives the perfect balance of elegance and ease, keeping your hair out of your face while still showing off those waves.

Braids: Go for a classic plait with jasmine accents or switch it up with a fishtail braid for a modern twist.

Gift Giving:

In South Asian weddings, gifting is a bit different from traditional weddings. For starters, boxed gifts are generally not common, unless they ask for it. If the couple has a specific wishlist, feel free to choose something from it.

However, if not, a thoughtful gift of money in a pretty envelope (you know exactly which sort of envelope I mean) or card is always appreciated. Don’t overthink it—money is a practical gift for newlyweds, helping them start their life together. Plus, it gives them the freedom to buy whatever they truly need, sparing you the guesswork of picking something they might never use!

Wedding day tips for Brides:

YOU decide what you wear

It’s your day, so wear what makes you feel comfortable! Many people skip the traditional bridal sets and choose a set they love instead—and they still look stunning. Don’t hesitate to do things your way, whether it’s a personal preference or if you’d rather allocate your budget elsewhere.

Keep things private

Now this can be a controversial one but sometimes it can be a better idea to share less about your wedding with friends/family as it can prevent conflicts. Revealing details like the first dance song or budgets invites debate. Keeping specifics private minimises potential upset, especially with those that can be more opinionated.

Time for YOU

Take some time for yourself—it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of a wedding. Even if it's just a quick moment to pop to the bathroom and touch up your makeup, make sure you pause and enjoy your day. This is your moment, so take it all in and allow yourself to fully experience it!

Weddings are a whirlwind of love, laughter, and unforgettable moments, but they can also be overwhelming. Whether you’re the bride or a guest, planning ahead—from your outfit and hair to food vendors and personal moments—can make all the difference. Remember to embrace the day, take time for yourself, and enjoy every second. At the end of it all, it’s the memories, the people, and the joy that truly matter. 💕

Hope we could help :) 

Love, Your Sokora Family.
