Jennifer Chowdhry, Editor-in-ChiefWhen I started planning my November 2009 wedding a few months ago, I realized how few resources South Asian-American brides actually have available. Desi weddings are made up of amazing traditions and cultural details that aren’t always covered by mainstream bridal magazines, websites or t.v. shows and we really have nowhere to turn for a complete wedding resource. So, my best friend and bridesmaid, Farah, and I decided to start ‘The Sari-Clad Bride’ to help all those desi brides out there (like me!) who need some help planning their beautiful and lavish weddings, on any budget, any time-frame and in any city in the world! We hope to be able to provide you with some amazing ideas and resources you need to plan your fabulous wedding in the days to come.
