Who are you?
How did you get started in the South Asian wedding industry? How long have you been doing this?
3 Bees Paperie was started by 3 friends looking to launch a creative business that represented our diverse South Asian backgrounds. We found that there was a huge gap for high quality, unique invitations for South Asians in the US since many Indian American brides and grooms get their invitations from India, where the quality of paper is often poor and customer service is lacking. Hence 3 Bees Paperie was born!
Launched in May of 2009, 3 Bees Paperie is a wedding and social event stationery company that provides high quality and eco-friendly paper with contemporary, South Asian inspired designs. The company aims to provide unique inspirations for life’s celebrations through its three collections: Couture Weddings, ready-to-order wedding stationery; Baby Bees, ready-to-order baby announcements; and Made for You, for custom stationery.

Asiana Wedding Magazine is a South Asian wedding magazine based out of the U.K. and India and truth be told, a single edition is really pricy in the U.S.! So, the Sari-Clad Bride decided to take the liberty and provide her readers with scans of ‘Bridal Images: the professional guide to this season’s essential looks’–a story Asiana Wedding ran in Vol 3. Issue 1 2009.
Traditional: Base: To give a flawless complexion, apply MAC face and body combined with MAC studio fix. Stick to the winter theme by using warm peachy tones applied swiftly on the cheeks using MAC skin finish powder. Eyes: It's imperative that the eyes complement the intricate nature of the outfit and jewelry, achieved here by using a palette of peaches, browns and pinks the enhance the eye colour--blend the darker tones and add definition by applying a coat of black eyeliner. Lips: Plump up the pout with a shade of peach to help enhance the lip's natural colour. Hair: For an intricate finish, keep the bun low and simple, allowing the heavily adorned dupatta to rest effortlessly.
Reception Image: Base: Achieve a winter wonderland glow by applying MAC face and body with studio fix all over the face. Briskly brush pink undertones onto the cheeks for a fresh and innocent look that contrasts with her dynamite cheekbones. For further definition, add sparkle and sheen to the bride's face with skin finish powder. Eyes: Make your eyelids go a-flutter with a smoky green eyeshade with a hint of purple to complement the elegance of the hairpiece. Lips: Sensual yet sinless is a difficult but oh so desirable shade to by--Seema swears by Viva glam V pink with gloss. Hair: Curls have been used here to give a soft and elegant look, offset by the strong impact achieved with the dramatic headpiece hairpiece.

Searching for a perfect wedding venue is one of, if not THE hardest part of the planning process. Wedding professionals and banquet managers are adept at making you feel comfortable and wooing you over with fancy terminology so it might be hard to weed out the good from the bad. Make sure you get answers to the essential questions below, before you book your favorite venue.
THE BRAINLESS QUESTIONS:
- How many people can the venue safely and legally accomodate? If you’re dealing with a shady manager, he/she might try to get you to fit more people than is legally allowed. Before signing on the dotted line, make sure the number of guests you can safely have inside the venue is included in the contract.
- What is the price difference between a sit-down dinner and buffet? A sit-down dinner is usually the more expensive option but might be worth the splurge. You might even be able to cut costs by taking out certain courses.
- Are rates different for different days of the week? For different seasons/time of year?
- Is there a valet parking system? Is the cost included in the contract or will guests have to pay out of pocket?
- What are the open-bar policies?
- What are the silverware and chair policies? Sometimes the venue provides these and sometimes they don’t, depending on whether it’s a banquet hall or just a reception space.
