January Round up ...

January saw the start of a fresh new year and a truly awakening spring in The RS Bridal Group’s step. Not only can we welcome some fabulous Brides and Grooms to our Wedding Planners Books, but some more clients destined for great weddings who have booked themselves with rs Weddings’ Theme Design Packages.

But what you really want to know and what I really want to tell you about is how phenomenal Shaadi-Esque has been doing just this past month. Designers, Charitable activities, Wedding features, Chinese New Year, Musical Talent and our very first lifestyle feature. It has been a very busy month for Shaadi-Esque and indeed the RS Group.

We celebrated alongside Charmi Mandavia, designer and owner of Charmi Creations at the launch of her fabulous chic new Boutique in Pinner. We showcased Raishma’s designs and took a little look at how she has evolved as a designer and above all made her brand individual and highly regarded. The final designer showcased this month was Sati Takhar, whose couture pieces really made a mark with Shaadi-Esque and we really look forward to seeing what is in stall for all the designers and suppliers who feature with us.



Most recently we witnessed the Chinese New Year which was highly regarded as the Year of the Dragon.  Auspicious and longevity are symbolised by the Dragon, so this was one year we didn't want to miss out on. We featured three bright and beautiful rouge Dragon inspired boards which blew our readers away, they were fusion, individual and outright spunky!



Shaadi-Esque joined The RS Bridal Group in some rather selfless acts this January. We joined forces to bake some delicious yumminesses for the homeless shelter in the London Borough. For dessert that evening they enjoyed 'Lilac Cupcakes and Ordo Brownies'. Making me drool thinking about it. (Oh boy!)

We went so far as to feature a talented duo as they debuted their new track 'Lohri' which took the iTunes download charts by storm. Shaadi-Esque's little nugget of showbiz-nes!!

Let's not forget our new Lifestyle feature, of which Dishoom in London got their first serving. It was all about the bollybelini's. And then some! :)



We have featured some amazing weddings and some even more fabulous bride's and groom's. We love sharing special weddings, unique ideas or just special moments. A picture does say a thousand words, and Shaadi-Esque readers know it!



Specially for January we were fortunate to attend an engagement party for which we were thoroughly impressed with, we observed, thoroughly enjoyed, and blogged at our hearts content.

So What a busy and pretty phantasmal month January has been. Quite the start to the year and there has been some fond, memorable posts that we wish to continue with.

If you are a photographer/ Bride or Groom / Wedding Supplier and you would like to feature your weddings or services then just visit our submissions page or get in touch on blog@rsbridalgroup.co.uk.

If on the other hand you are a bride and groom and you would like a write up of your wedding or engagement,  much like our Attended Wedding, on Shaadi-Esque or to keep in your album - get in touch also. Words can be valuable even without pictures.

Looking forward to February and all 2012 has to offer. Best of luck to all of our suppliers and features for 2012 is the one to watch!

Keeping you inspired!

{Exquisite Bridal Wear} Charmi Creations Official Boutique Launch

Sunday 15th January 2012 saw the launch of Charmi Creations new Boutique in Northwoods, Pinner where Shaadi-Esque was invited to pop along for a sneak peak at the brilliantly chic store and bridal collection. From Industry professionals to journalists attended the event alongside some wonderful friends and family of Charmi herself.

Charmi Mendavia worked a white lengha with fabulous detail and silver embroidery, with a net panel covering her middrift. It was a remarkable piece and even though the roads were frosty and it was three degrees outside, I would rather catch the cold then cover up an outfit like that!

The collection alone blew my mind! These pieces were exquisite, I found a few gowns destined for greatness (ahem my wedding). The designs are intricate and quirky, not too overwhelming, just the right amount of wow and every bit of elegance. Lifting a lengha I thought would take my arm off actually proved to be much lighter in weight than my mind was willing to comprehend.

On display the Bride and Groom's collection were draped on models. Not to forget the jewellery collections. As you may already know, not only can Charmi match designs and colours of a Bride's outfit to the groom, but she can design a whole jewellery collection for you, based on the stonework and colours of the outfit. Does this lady cease to amaze me? No I think not!

There was lavish jewellery spread across the store (brought a twinkle to my eye) and bridesmaids gown samples, more fusion gowns, and groomwear. It was all so beautiful and Boutique-Esque, it looked straight out of the pages of a catalogue.

The evening was filled with great food, music and sparkles from the new designer collection and the shiny new boutique ready for its debut. The store is now open so why not check it out, for it is worth the visit.
