{Image of the day} For rainy days like these ...

Another super inspiration image for your creativity. Umbrella's should really feature in all UK weddings outdoor or indoor. Not only can they save a £1400 gown, but they are great fun, and can be great props in photographs.

Putting them in something which will match your wedding theme i.e. a large barrel for an outdoor country wedding. Don't forget to get colours that match your colour scheme and add little notes for personalisation.

Keeping you inspired!!

February Round Up ...

February has been quite the whirlwind, with wedding features, wedding planning advice and plenty of inspiration and suppliers to keep your brainwaves stimulated.

We heard the announcement of the Miss India Competition, eventhough we have already congratulated her, we must say another well done to Deana Uppal for her pretty honorary title. Valentine’s day was among the highlights of this month, where plenty of you treated your other halves out for dinner where roses were the symbolic gift of the night. Shaadi-Esque are troopers for spunking things up so we created an inspiration board of pretty peaches and lovely orange and pinks. It is our alternate vision of Love – everyone has one.

We featured two pretty amazing Weddings this month; M&R Photography shared with us the elaborate traditional Hindu Wedding of Shivani and Gurdeep. They blew me away with their beautiful attire, their lush Mandap and their striking decor. The atmosphere was light and traditional but there was most definitely a spark or two of fun and mischievousness.

M&R Photography also shared with us the wedding of Tina and James; their fusion wedding really sparked my interest as it is primarily this that Shaadi-Esque feels so strongly about. It was the intertwining two cultures and the adjoining of two separate roads as one. Tina’s peach infused gown with Indian-felt embroidery made my heart skip a beat. It was an elegant and completely unique gown that suited Tina from the start. This bride and groom really knew how to have a good party and it was this that gave their wedding the fun element.

I loved both of these weddings just as much as each other. There were elements of everything, fun, tradition, fusion, culture and all with their own little spunk!

As you might rightly know that Shaadi-Esque is an advocate for chic new wedding styling, it is this reason we bring you these pretty suave inspiration boards for you to admire and use. This week’s Navy Couture Inspiration board was a take on a royal and regal theme. The blue is a royal navy blue and it reflects a serious, proud theme, but don’t be afraid of this – you can down play or up this theme however way you want. ***But the important thing is that when you come across one of these theme’s – print it out, add it to your bookmarks – save them, add them to your wedding scrap book!***



You may want to refer back to something that you liked – so it’s good to keep it nearby or in a safe and easy to find place.

Along with this Navy Couture inspiration board, we also had another board this month which we called ‘Purrty in Pink Chic’, because it is exactly what it says it is. It is a super pretty, and chic wedding inspiration with just the right amount of pink to make it classy and not a Barbie’s fun house.

As a team of wedding planners we aim to help our readers with all and every wedding planning situation out there,  last month we gave you a breakdown of all the Hindu Wedding Ceremonies, which we got some great reviews so we thank you for taking the time to let us know your kind thoughts. So we thought we would bring you the equivalent Sikh Wedding Ceremony breakdown and you guys loved it just the same.

Attending and planning weddings, we have put together some Bridal Etiquette faux pas for your consideration and at the request of a reader we have prepared some questions you should ask your venue coordinator. It’s all so handy when your wedding planner is writing your inspiration blogs!

Wedding Planner for a portion of the price

The wedding planner inside me wants to tell you about a seriously life changing service I offer at 'rs Wedding Consultants' but the blogger part of me doesn't want to sales pitch you this early in the morning. So instead, one of my lovely, wonderful, super excellent bride's has volunteered to tell you how she benefited from the service.




"Hi Bridal Street Bride's,

My name's Catherine, and I married my wonderful husband Harry in Februry, early this year. And what a whirlwind that was.

As a bride, my main worries apart from whether I could afford my wedding day, was whether my wedding would bespecial and would my guests enjoy it just as much as I would. Not to mention whether I would be in auto pilot from shock and not remember the experience at all! Being a bride, exposes you to all sorts of insecurities, particularly being under the spotlight.

A quick google and a hop skip later (it was actually harder than I make it out), I found a service called 'theme design' which (who guessed it??) Rachyeta offered at 'rs Wedding Consultants'.

Rachyeta understood all too well how important it was to create an 'epic' wedding, those were her words exactly. And ultimately I wanted a lot from my day including a theme that would reflect Harry and I, I wanted our guests to have a brilliant time and remember our wedding as ours!

The theme design package was so easy, we filled in a friendly form detailing what our occupations are, how we met, our memorable songs, favourite colours, what we want and what we absolutely do not want to see at our wedding. The agonising part was waiting for the final proposal, but my was it a pretty sight when it arrived.


It had everything I knew it had plus tonnes more. Every detail from the design on the menu, the colour up lighting to the song for our first dance. The theme Rachyeta chose for us was a paradise dream theme, because our love story was something out of a dream! The place names were little puffy clouds, the set up was a light blue and pink infusion. Our favours were a mix of a thermometer shaped ginger biscuits and an aeroplane shaped biscuit, as I am a Doctor and Harry is a Pilot. So our guests took a little edible piece of us both home, although most of the favours were eaten by the end of the night. We had a dream reader, candles, lots of beautiful candles. It was a phenomenal night and as Rachyeta suggested, take the party outside, where the grounds were lit with candles and petals and it was just an image from a dream. Her venue suggestion was spot on and as I had wished, everyone had a blast!!

Thank you Rachyeta for baring with me and creating such a special and super day. xx"


Thank you so much Catherine for your fab write up, it brought a tear to my eye when first reading it. You were wonderful to work with. A true soppy one I am. xx
