I love how she didnt spend lakhs on wedding jewelry. even in south india people put aside atleast 50 lakhs sometimes to wear real gold in the end most people cant even differentiate real and fake jewelry so whats the point?
Thank you 😊 our parents also did pay for a lot, but there were some expenses that we took care of on our own (also helps if both families are on the same page when it comes to budget & expenses etc esp if they’re doing 50-50 split)
@@SatshyaTharien I’m sure they paid too. But the most admirable thing here is that you, as the bride, took pragmatic financial decisions instead of parents putting their entire life savings on the line for the wedding, in the name of the “once in a lifetime” guilt trip. You did well and I hope it inspires other people to do the same :-)
@Redmoz06 of course it’s a personal choice. But at the end of the day, one should spend only what one can afford. If one can buy a Ferrari and he wants it, by all means he should go ahead. But if he can afford only a Honda, and takes innumerable loans to buy that Ferrari just because he wants it, it’s stupidity. Unfortunately most Indian families belong to the second category, and live their lives in debt, just because log kya kahenge. I was admiring Satshya’s pragmatic approach, which I think every single individual must inculcate, regardless of their likes and dislikes.
I am a South Indian myself and I have to say you looked so amazing . Every look were on point and the cost reduction plan you had was really impressive
Brooo, it's so cool that you didn't got in the trap of "marriages happen only once ". You look so pretty, elegant and comfortable in all your outfits and the best part, everything can be used again.
Ive always wanted a simple low budget wedding but all the reels and posts on social media nowadays are showcasing such lavish elaborate weddings that I kept wondering if there were still people like me lol! Im very grateful for your video and Im pretty sure your video has inspired a lot of us who are planning our weddings!
I am a north India, and trust me you looked pretttyyy amazinggg in all your outfits:) I live in Chennai, so I know there is huge difference in cermony and for someone who has never knew about is definitely a Shocker ( When I found out the prices of the halls and everthing, I was also shook on how much people spend on their wedding, specially a marwadi wedding where you don't really meet your guests properly and enjoy, because the guest list is endlessss...Anyways congratsss:) and again you killed all your outfits, you were wearing the outfits, and you made sure outfits were not wearing you:)
Being a North Indian, I understand how much pressure there had been on you to keep up with all pomp and show. Thank you for normalising the wedding and talk realistically on the cost involved. Kudos to you and family ….
I personally feel silk sarees if chosen correctly look soooooo elegant and beautiful on anyone !!! So royal and elegant looking and using your mother’s saree was such a sweet and economical step !!
I think a lot of the comments about not being grand enough are from the grand wedding celebratory regions of the country. I am from Karnataka , and our weddings generally tend to be much simpler ( even the hindu ones) for example mehendi and haldi are more of a ritual than an event, there is no sangeet. Again there are exceptions - coz rich ppl be spending MONEY. But overall I think all your looks were very pretty, appropriately grand and elegant based on the weddings I have personally seen.
We spend a lot of money for on our wedding and then sometimes we end up in divorce or unsuccessful marriage and then we end up with regret on spending so much on something that didn't mean anything. But if we end up having a successful marriage, we look back and realise, it didn't matter what we wore, or how much we spend, or even if it was just a court marriage, we are still enjoying and having good time with our partner and every moment is beautiful. So, like Satshya says spend only on what makes us happy and don't give in to impressing others. if you have more budget spend on honeymoon vacations after the wedding, and having a nice home of your own. Don't spend to make others envy. You never know, you might actually end up having a successful marriage, if you invest on the relationship than the wedding.
"shaadi ek baar hoti hai" fomo trap is REAL, but I stuck to my outfit budget pretty firmly too. "Too halka for the bride" comment is very common, judging her outfits is even more. It takes a lot of painstaking effort finding the right clothes you'll love that also fit your budget - but I'd say hang in there. Kudos to you and all brides out there who don't give in and stick to their plan.
Even though i got nothing to do with saares and stuff i still watched the entire thing just for the fact that she talks with such an energy that just makes you keep watching and so involved like just uff love the way you talk satshya
The people who said you didn't look like a bride are BLIND... you look Glam.. Classy and Stunning.... !! From dresses to makeup to everything... Amazing !! ❤❤❤
As a to be bride, you’re the most relatable bride I’ve seen! Your looks were so elegant and timeless and not the over the top like the trend these days. Definitely taking inspo from some of your looks 🤭 Thank you for sharing this! 🥹
I am 23 years old and i haven't worn makeup ever, apart from eyeliner and lipstick and i decided that i won't be very comfortable wearing make up on my special day if I get married. Seeing how the make up and hair cost 2x than the outfits I am definitely skipping makeup 😂
You can try doing simple makeup by yourself. I don't like those heavy makeup, they are so heavy and looks uncomfortable so I have decided that I'll be doing my own makeup in my wedding.
I'm 25, learnt recently how to apply makeup to myself and it's great! I skip most of the heavy things, opted only for light cream, very little concealer, blush and highlighter. Primer and makeup setting spray are good to spend on. Kept my lipstick and eyeliner very minimal too. Of course i would only do this for grand events (my cousin's wedding) but i loved the way it complimented my outfit.
Your video shows kindness towards the brides who face dilemmas to meet unrealistic expectations and face criticism for spending in certain areas like dresses or makeup or how they need to look.It's a person's choice. Why criticize.Brides take so much efforts to bring all the minute details together to put a show. Just appreciate her efforts .I was shamed to buy a expensive wedding gown and jewellery. A lot of thought process goes into , going to different shops , comparing costs , trying to cut down costs.Yes , after watching your video I appreciate myself for the first time.I feel human. All your looks and choices were amazing ❤
Being a half kashmiri ...i am bit dark skinned so I get so many comments regarding my tone. Also, my engagement makeup was done so patheticly , but still my finace is super loving so doesnt matter. All these small incidents make one wiser ...all i can say ❤
As a north indian i think you looked absolutely beautiful and moreover happy, its a message to all that we don't always have to go out of budget to look good.
Your respect for your MIL, husband's family AND how you kept your sentiment towards your own family is such a lovely example of respectul inter faith weddings.
I'm happy to see that u spent mindfully on your outfits , jewelry n all other important stuff related to wedding. It is actually very important. I regret that i put lot of expensive stuff in my wedding trousseau esp indian wear even when i knew that I'm gonna settling abroad. Though I've worn few things from my trousseau but a lot of things r still untouched. And when it comes to makeup literally most of the makeup artists really don't know how to do natural n glamed up makeup without changing your skin clour n features even when u spent in lakhs. I'm glad to see how beautifully your makeup, hairstyles , outfits n pictures have been turned out. And of course your unapologetic repetition of sandals in all the functions 😊 kudos to you👏
thank you soo much! :) and hard relate to the indian outfits abroad hehe - i also carried some here but ended up wearing them only during a diwali event lol
This simple and elegant look is what I've always imagined as being my bridal look even though I'm a north indian .....and yes it's all about personal preferences and at the end of the day it's your confidence that speaks and not the outfit.
My gosh Satshya! This was SUCH a good way to be cost-effective while still absolutely looking amazing. I am gobsmacked (and inspired!!) by your approach!
My sisters wedding is coming up and I feel the craziness of wedding shopping🙈 I have to say, you just looked so amazing for all your events and you made a beautiful bride🥰 the simplicity and practicality with which you planned your wedding looks is inspiring!
Ah just love this video. Its totally my style for a wedding. I dont like jiga jiga dress for myself. All your outfits were lovely but just looooooove the red zari saree (Delhi reception). Thank you for being so open and honest about the expenses, reusing clothes and jewellery.
I just turned 23 and literally spent most of my life wearing western outfits like jeans, tops and pants. I'd wear casual western wear to relatives weddings or events until I was 20. I recently started exploring traditional wears and Indian cultural outfits. When she was talking about having no idea about what to wear for her wedding I was like she's just like me fr😂. This video was very insightful for me.
hehe yaa - i like wearing traditional outfits but sometimes for weddings there is a certain expectation of colour, material etc and if you're not from that culture it can be soooo confusing!
It's inspiring to see individuals like you prioritize sustainability in their marriages, making a positive impact on the society. As marriage is the most crucial moment in our life, it is also important to think the amount of resources, especially in clothing, that are utilized for a one-time event like a wedding can be staggering. 👏👏👏👏 ( PS - I really liked the part when you mentioned you wore your sister's saree 🥰)
Hi Satshya, I loved your video. So simple, so honest. And the best part about this video is, it's okay to not dress up, dress up as per the standard set for the brides. The expectations are crazy and real. Whether it is from the relatives, from the shops you buy, makeup and hair artists. I am getting married in 2025, my partner and I had planned right from the beginning, we'll fund it on our own. Spend minimal money on clothes, jewelry and get what we like but we want to keep it sentimental, thoughtful and convenient for our us and our loved ones.
Same here also...my marriage to a North Indian paunjabi shelled out lot of money. If it was a South Indian wedding it would have been much cheaper. Nd same I also did not get a lehenga I bought a red saree. And you r absolutely right you should not comment on a bride.
The BEST and Efficient (may i point out) wedding outfits ive ever seen, they were really really beautiful on their own not only that they also looked really good on you and suited you plus you didnt buy some overpriced outfits that youre neverrr gonna wear again and borrowed a lot of them from family which such a good concept, why buy everything from scratch for a wedding? why not use something you already have in hand thats beautiful! that i appreciate a hell lot! Good job
you indeed looked like cinderella!!! you looked like a constellation of stars istg, please don't spare one second for the ones who said otherwise Also my favourite outfit is the Delhi Reception oneee, you looked extra extra extra radiant and elegant maxxxxx, aahahajkdhehslsl, like a dreaaaaam 🥺❤
We need more influencers like you❤ this was the exact same thought that I had during my wedding. But only regret is that I didn't find a good makeup artist or hair stylist😢...I had to do my own makeup and I'm not a pro in it.
I loved every look of yours .... I completely agreed it's one's own choice to spend according to their preferences in which they are comfortable .. also loved the point where you mentioned about the people judging the bride her outfit bla bla and other stuff ..why can't people just bless the couple pray for their healthy happy life and mind their businesses ..coz every bride is pretty and it has nothing to do with her outfit, designer or not...
@11:30 I agree. I would go far to say why only on bride, if we in any circumstance don’t have anything nice to say, unless asked for opinion, don’t comment at all.
This video made me feel so good as people put so much pressure and give you suggestions as how you should be and act etc , you should do according to your way and what makes you feel good and comfortable
I did my own make up and hair for my covid wedding. I learnt a lot from youtube, got the make up from nykaa and tried various looks at home. I actually ended up looking nice to my surprise on my wedding day and reception. I felt happy to have saved money as well
I absolutely loved all your wedding outfits and was kinda waiting for a video like this since the day I saw your wedding pictures on Instagram!! And you were looking GORGEOUS. I must say in today’s day when everyone is so crazy about spending a fortune on their wedding outfits knowing that they’re never gonna wear it again, the fact that you had such good outfits which you can re wear whenever you wish to, and yet looked so stunning and bridal is so amazing! Have a happy life❤️
I don’t know I’m North Indian and even celebs wear light n jazzy heavy designer clothes that makes them look like sheep full of wool. But your wedding looks were really decent, beautiful and just like how bride should look😍😍😍 really inspiring❤
Maybe I’m biased because I’m also a Christian and I love when you talk about your faith on your channel 🤭 but my favorite outfit was the off-white sari!! Your makeup looked flawless too- it all came together to make you look angelically beautiful!! 🫶
Keep making more long videos ya, just loooove to see you talk. You are such a good human being and your goodness radiates through the video itself. So happy😊 stay that way always ❤
I actually loved all your wedding outfits. You have inspired me to spend minimally on wedding looks while still looking glam :) Im actually a Rajput, but I've lived in south my entire life. So in our weddings we have traditional Rajput wedding events and also the south Indian events.. And your wedding events are on point!!
Being a north Indian who grew up in the south, i wish to have a wedding so simple and meaningful.. Its a dream wedding for ppl like me ❤ congratulations 🎊 U look stunning in every outfit
Not getting married anytime soon but the intense focus I had throughout this video !!!😂♥️ Love the outlook you had towards your wedding . So refreshing to see someone who thinks of practicality and the money and everything. You looked beautiful in every single outfit.♥️♥️
You looked absolutely gorgeous on all your events. When I saw this video I just jumped at it to get all the details - you looked bomb and were so good at saving a ton and investing where it was actually needed. Thanks for sharing. CINDERALLA ALWAYS
A marriage is much more important than the wedding! Thank you for normalizing it❤ My sister had done the same, she took very careful decisions financially, mainly because she and me and our brother took up the financial load.
One more frustrating issue is finding a good tailor for getting the blouses stitched…. They botch it up almost every time 🥲 I’d love any recommendations in Bengaluru if possible 😬
Chk out Srinivasa ladies tailor (Prop Chetan) in chikka banaswadi I had randomly googled for tailors in Bangalore and found this one which already had good rating. He stitches a custom made blouse for 750-800 with beads and latkar.Very good fitting..
Hey... U have really a genuine personality that u put in front all of us... Also ur idea of not investing in lehenga on wedding day was on point.. U looked pretty in all of ur events...Heartiest congratulations🎉 on ur wedding👰💍🤵💒
That red 🥹🥹 I am planning to wear the exact shade of red in my wedding… I hope I get it when the time comes. Also, that aunty was right… you truly looked like a princess 🥹😍
i am going to recreate your delhi recep. red saari look for myself 5 years from now.. loooooooooooved it. its exactly how classy and chic i wanna look!!!
Huge respect to you satshya u redefined simplicity at it best. In era of over the top grandeur you inspired so many girls and women including me to go simple yet elegant and save your parents and yourself that extraordinarily and unnecessary expenditure that breaks a north indian house budget
all your outfits are so so elegant + inspired and you looked absolutely radiant!!! love that you borrowed stuff from your mom and sister, and incorporated traditions from both sides of your family 💕
I'm getting married in 3 months and am binge watching these kinds of videos for ideas. :) Good advice about budget. I'm only having 2 functions (one is Mehndi & Sangeet and the second is Wedding itself). My fiancé and I are both North Indian Christians so we're keeping it quite minimalistic as a whole but also adding a bit of celebratory touch.
I love this. The way yoy have explained everything in this video. The importance you gave to comfort. And how it all turned out so beautiful. You look so amazing in everything. This is a dream.
You inspired me to have a hint of my mom's saree for my future wedding events .... thats just amazing tip. And I love the fact that ur wedding outfits and jwellery and makeup was on a budget, you looked fantastic for all your events. Im a South Indian too from Kerala. Could you also share about the photographer details in your next video, it may help someone out there. God bless!!
I love how realistic you are how you sauced that save that money for home hope many people should learn this instead of spending so much you can use money for travelling or buy house
Omg! Satshya! I loved all your outfits and you looked divine-elegant! 🌟 Guess what? I'm getting married in a couple of months (dusky-south Indian bride) and I've always liked simple stuff yaar. But I've been really put into this pressure that I should go for glam outfits and look and what not. But I've remained strong and made my choices with pastel and minimal stuff, be it dress or jewelry or makeup. Proud of the choices you've made and the advice (or its-okay-my-girl-kinda words) at the end made me feel a loooot better. Especially about the make-up and hairdo, really is soo true! Needed that. :') 🫂 (Been following you since forever, more love to you girl! ♥)
U made me rethink whether I shud spend alot on my dress for my bro's wedding😅. One things for sure, one shud focus on their fitness n skin becoz it overpowers the look.
Just spme thoughts from a North Indian girl. This over the top weddings is quite a recent phenomenon. My parents and their siblings weddings were actually quite normal because they used to get married at their own home. My mom's cousin did her makeup, they had a neighbours empty home as the food venue as the food was also prepared at home by a Maharaj ( no catering). Her wedding dress is also not so heavy ( I lierally cannot wear it to my wedding, its too simple for todays Marwadi wedding). They actually has more function's but not so eleborate. P.S you outfits look gorgeous!!! The bride always looks like a bride in India, even if nothing else the red color and the heavy makeup will make her stand out!!❤❤
Mine is also inter religious marriage.. I had court marriage + one general marriage ceremony + one reception.. court marriage saree was gift from my uncle..used my old slipper so zero cost.. for wedding and reception my mother in law got me the saree so it’s 10k + 25 k and slipper I got one golden slipper for 999.. make up - No make up for court marriage, for wedding and reception it’s 5k together.. This was 10 years before.. one thing is I was not given much choice or option for outfit and make up since I choose the guy😊 I had to accept elders choice.. because I had enough drama fight etc for other things.. so I let go these things.. My mother in law chose my wedding look.. In these 10 years I have seen my marriage album only once.. didn’t want to see again,.
thank you yaar, I was the one who asked for that saree details in your reel from your reception. Love you so much for making a whole video about all the outfits 🥺
I had to stop the video mid-way and subscribe to your channel. The sheer honesty and simplicity you have put up in this video is something that should really be appreciated. I so damn agree on the gold jewellery thing, not sure why we need to spend lakhs on gold. Also, this insta culture has spoilt people so much that everyone has started to think spending lakhs on a lehenga is “normal”. Like really? And in all honesty, you looked ethereal in every look of yours. I would love to take some inspo from the looks. Don’t let people tell you otherwise.
Wow you look so pretty 😍 in all of your outfits. During my engagement I wore a golden saree just like you did for the event in Bangalore, I had a Pentecostal Christian wedding. But I got crazy load of criticism because my hair was tied into a bun that felt like I didn’t have any hair, but the truth was I was loosing a lot of hair and my hairdresser couldn’t make it any better. Man! My day was spoiled because of such criticism. During wedding since my dad wanted me to not change he bought a white silk saree with design and it looked pretty simple and for that too I received a lot of criticism.
thank you! :) And oh nooo - simply people want to sit and comment on others' outfits as if it's some fashion show. they should just be happy for the couple and quietly eat the food & enjoy :P
Honestly I was worried about setting a wedding budget and how I can keep it elegant, minimal and yet fun - and you did the perfect job on that ❤❤. All of uour outfits were fabulous, and you really looked beautiful in them 🎉. Thank you for showing us the process and inspiring all 😊😊
She is so amazing and realll. I love her malayali accent and speaking few hindi words in between is sooo cuteeee, that's the best thing. She's my new favorite UA-camr❤ And you looked fabulous in all your events. This is a great inspiration for new brides who don't feel the need to be tooo extraaa. I'll keep these advices in my mind for sure😊

however im so surprised hair and makeup cost 91000 + 18000??? is it really that expensive omg??
Best part is that you took responsibility for the finances on your own instead of relying on your parents, as 99% of Indian couples do.

"shaadi ek baar hoti hai" fomo trap is REAL, but I stuck to my outfit budget pretty firmly too. "Too halka for the bride" comment is very common, judging her outfits is even more. It takes a lot of painstaking effort finding the right clothes you'll love that also fit your budget - but I'd say hang in there. Kudos to you and all brides out there who don't give in and stick to their plan.
i think with proper styling and jewelry even simple outfit can look stunning. people just dont know how to style dresses lol

I just turned 23 and literally spent most of my life wearing western outfits like jeans, tops and pants. I'd wear casual western wear to relatives weddings or events until I was 20. I recently started exploring traditional wears and Indian cultural outfits. When she was talking about having no idea about what to wear for her wedding I was like she's just like me fr😂. This video was very insightful for me.
hehe yaa - i like wearing traditional outfits but sometimes for weddings there is a certain expectation of colour, material etc and if you're not from that culture it can be soooo confusing!
It's inspiring to see individuals like you prioritize sustainability in their marriages, making a positive impact on the society. As marriage is the most crucial moment in our life, it is also important to think the amount of resources, especially in clothing, that are utilized for a one-time event like a wedding can be staggering. 👏👏👏👏 ( PS - I really liked the part when you mentioned you wore your sister's saree 🥰)
So wholesome 💛💛
Reuse, connections, family borrowing 🙆🌄
yaaas :)
Normalise simple wedding … normalise grand weddings … normalise people being themselves !
Nice
Hi Satshya, I loved your video. So simple, so honest. And the best part about this video is, it's okay to not dress up, dress up as per the standard set for the brides. The expectations are crazy and real. Whether it is from the relatives, from the shops you buy, makeup and hair artists. I am getting married in 2025, my partner and I had planned right from the beginning, we'll fund it on our own. Spend minimal money on clothes, jewelry and get what we like but we want to keep it sentimental, thoughtful and convenient for our us and our loved ones.
Same here also...my marriage to a North Indian paunjabi shelled out lot of money. If it was a South Indian wedding it would have been much cheaper. Nd same I also did not get a lehenga I bought a red saree. And you r absolutely right you should not comment on a bride.
haha oh yes, north indian weddings are sooooo much more expensive 🙈🙈🙈
South weddings r expensive too depends on the money n wealth they have.
The BEST and Efficient (may i point out) wedding outfits ive ever seen, they were really really beautiful on their own not only that they also looked really good on you and suited you plus you didnt buy some overpriced outfits that youre neverrr gonna wear again and borrowed a lot of them from family which such a good concept, why buy everything from scratch for a wedding? why not use something you already have in hand thats beautiful! that i appreciate a hell lot! Good job
you indeed looked like cinderella!!! you looked like a constellation of stars istg, please don't spare one second for the ones who said otherwise
Also my favourite outfit is the Delhi Reception oneee, you looked extra extra extra radiant and elegant maxxxxx, aahahajkdhehslsl, like a dreaaaaam 🥺❤
hehe thank you :)
We need more influencers like you❤ this was the exact same thought that I had during my wedding. But only regret is that I didn't find a good makeup artist or hair stylist😢...I had to do my own makeup and I'm not a pro in it.
oh daaamn - doing your own makeup must;'ve been quite stressful, no? hope it was all ok!
I loved every look of yours .... I completely agreed it's one's own choice to spend according to their preferences in which they are comfortable .. also loved the point where you mentioned about the people judging the bride her outfit bla bla and other stuff ..why can't people just bless the couple pray for their healthy happy life and mind their businesses ..coz every bride is pretty and it has nothing to do with her outfit, designer or not...
@11:30 I agree. I would go far to say why only on bride, if we in any circumstance don’t have anything nice to say, unless asked for opinion, don’t comment at all.
This video made me feel so good as people put so much pressure and give you suggestions as how you should be and act etc , you should do according to your way and what makes you feel good and comfortable
I did my own make up and hair for my covid wedding. I learnt a lot from youtube, got the make up from nykaa and tried various looks at home. I actually ended up looking nice to my surprise on my wedding day and reception. I felt happy to have saved money as well
But things are changing a lot in South as well. It's becoming extravagant and lots of functions as well
haha yeahh i see that a lot!
The most expensive accessory u were wearing was ur smile girl...just fabulous ❤
I literally paused the video to see how gorgeous you were looking on your Christian ceremony 😍
I absolutely loved all your wedding outfits and was kinda waiting for a video like this since the day I saw your wedding pictures on Instagram!! And you were looking GORGEOUS. I must say in today’s day when everyone is so crazy about spending a fortune on their wedding outfits knowing that they’re never gonna wear it again, the fact that you had such good outfits which you can re wear whenever you wish to, and yet looked so stunning and bridal is so amazing! Have a happy life❤️
The most practical bride I've ever seen❤
Gosh you look so pretty in every outfit 🥰❤...love the concept of not spending huge amount of money on weddings..
thank youuu :)
I'm so in love with your perception. I like basic minimal stuffs too. You just rocked your authenticity. ❤️❤️
Timepass club 🙋🏽♀️ Thanks for sharing. You looked fabulous in every outfit. Also good job on keeping costs down.
I don’t know I’m North Indian and even celebs wear light n jazzy heavy designer clothes that makes them look like sheep full of wool. But your wedding looks were really decent, beautiful and just like how bride should look😍😍😍 really inspiring❤
Maybe I’m biased because I’m also a Christian and I love when you talk about your faith on your channel 🤭 but my favorite outfit was the off-white sari!! Your makeup looked flawless too- it all came together to make you look angelically beautiful!! 🫶
thank you :)
Keep making more long videos ya, just loooove to see you talk. You are such a good human being and your goodness radiates through the video itself. So happy😊 stay that way always ❤
aaaw thank you so much :)
What a sensible approach to spending on the wedding outfits. You look incredible and I think you chose such good looks
I actually loved all your wedding outfits. You have inspired me to spend minimally on wedding looks while still looking glam :) Im actually a Rajput, but I've lived in south my entire life. So in our weddings we have traditional Rajput wedding events and also the south Indian events.. And your wedding events are on point!!
Being a north Indian who grew up in the south, i wish to have a wedding so simple and meaningful.. Its a dream wedding for ppl like me ❤ congratulations 🎊 U look stunning in every outfit
Not getting married anytime soon but the intense focus I had throughout this video !!!😂♥️
Love the outlook you had towards your wedding . So refreshing to see someone who thinks of practicality and the money and everything.
You looked beautiful in every single outfit.♥️♥️
hahah i LOLed at the first line heheheh
You looked absolutely gorgeous on all your events. When I saw this video I just jumped at it to get all the details - you looked bomb and were so good at saving a ton and investing where it was actually needed. Thanks for sharing. CINDERALLA ALWAYS
hehe thank you :) really hope it helped!
Delhi Reception look and Christian Wedding look were the best 😍😍
A marriage is much more important than the wedding!
Thank you for normalizing it❤
My sister had done the same, she took very careful decisions financially, mainly because she and me and our brother took up the financial load.
One more frustrating issue is finding a good tailor for getting the blouses stitched…. They botch it up almost every time 🥲 I’d love any recommendations in Bengaluru if possible 😬
Chk out Srinivasa ladies tailor (Prop Chetan) in chikka banaswadi I had randomly googled for tailors in Bangalore and found this one which already had good rating. He stitches a custom made blouse for 750-800 with beads and latkar.Very good fitting..
Thank you! ❤
Hey... U have really a genuine personality that u put in front all of us... Also ur idea of not investing in lehenga on wedding day was on point.. U looked pretty in all of ur events...Heartiest congratulations🎉 on ur wedding👰💍🤵💒
That red 🥹🥹 I am planning to wear the exact shade of red in my wedding… I hope I get it when the time comes. Also, that aunty was right… you truly looked like a princess 🥹😍
She looked amazing in all the events, these are like dream looks for me. Less is more.
i am going to recreate your delhi recep. red saari look for myself 5 years from now.. loooooooooooved it. its exactly how classy and chic i wanna look!!!
Huge respect to you satshya u redefined simplicity at it best. In era of over the top grandeur you inspired so many girls and women including me to go simple yet elegant and save your parents and yourself that extraordinarily and unnecessary expenditure that breaks a north indian house budget
All the looks are gorgeous. But that red silk saree is just something else❤
thank you :)
all your outfits are so so elegant + inspired and you looked absolutely radiant!!! love that you borrowed stuff from your mom and sister, and incorporated traditions from both sides of your family 💕
thank you :)
I'm getting married in 3 months and am binge watching these kinds of videos for ideas. :)
Good advice about budget. I'm only having 2 functions (one is Mehndi & Sangeet and the second is Wedding itself). My fiancé and I are both North Indian Christians so we're keeping it quite minimalistic as a whole but also adding a bit of celebratory touch.
you lookeddd so pretty in every outfit and the way you styled it. even the court marriage one. the red sarree look is litttt
You looked so gorgeous in all the looks! I love how you thought about repurposing your outfits before spending lakhs on them.
I love this. The way yoy have explained everything in this video. The importance you gave to comfort. And how it all turned out so beautiful. You look so amazing in everything. This is a dream.
damn, first youtuber whom i totally relate to in wedding topic and preferences!, soo elegant and pretty istg
You looking gorgeous in thumbnail- especially Red saree
You inspired me to have a hint of my mom's saree for my future wedding events .... thats just amazing tip. And I love the fact that ur wedding outfits and jwellery and makeup was on a budget, you looked fantastic for all your events. Im a South Indian too from Kerala. Could you also share about the photographer details in your next video, it may help someone out there. God bless!!
thank you :) I've shared the photographer details in the pinned comment
I love how realistic you are how you sauced that save that money for home hope many people should learn this instead of spending so much you can use money for travelling or buy house
Your fair complexion makes all the outfit even more good ❤
i love how rational you are with the wedding budget. wedding budgets usually scare me lmao
I loved all your looks!!! Simplicity is what stands out for me and damn you did look like a princess ☺️🫶
You looked stunning in all the outfits! Very classy and elegant! ❤
thank you :)
Omg! Satshya! I loved all your outfits and you looked divine-elegant! 🌟
Guess what? I'm getting married in a couple of months (dusky-south Indian bride) and I've always liked simple stuff yaar. But I've been really put into this pressure that I should go for glam outfits and look and what not. But I've remained strong and made my choices with pastel and minimal stuff, be it dress or jewelry or makeup. Proud of the choices you've made and the advice (or its-okay-my-girl-kinda words) at the end made me feel a loooot better. Especially about the make-up and hairdo, really is soo true! Needed that. :') 🫂
(Been following you since forever, more love to you girl! ♥)
U made me rethink whether I shud spend alot on my dress for my bro's wedding😅. One things for sure, one shud focus on their fitness n skin becoz it overpowers the look.
haha yeahh - having clear skin helps a lot with putting less makeup alsooo
I don't know about others but I totally loved all your outfits, looking so elegant and beautiful ❤️🤩
thank you :)
Just spme thoughts from a North Indian girl. This over the top weddings is quite a recent phenomenon. My parents and their siblings weddings were actually quite normal because they used to get married at their own home. My mom's cousin did her makeup, they had a neighbours empty home as the food venue as the food was also prepared at home by a Maharaj ( no catering). Her wedding dress is also not so heavy ( I lierally cannot wear it to my wedding, its too simple for todays Marwadi wedding). They actually has more function's but not so eleborate. P.S you outfits look gorgeous!!! The bride always looks like a bride in India, even if nothing else the red color and the heavy makeup will make her stand out!!❤❤
Every single look was so so elegant with the perfect touch of glamour!! I loveeee wedding looks that are on the simpler side.❤❤
thank you :)
i am so glad u went for red and not those pastel trends❤
All your outfits were beautiful and you looked radiant. Couldn’t have been more perfect!
you looked soooooooo pretty in all your events and i'm so pleased to know that you do so because you listened to yourself!! so cool
Mine is also inter religious marriage.. I had court marriage + one general marriage ceremony + one reception.. court marriage saree was gift from my uncle..used my old slipper so zero cost.. for wedding and reception my mother in law got me the saree so it’s 10k + 25 k and slipper I got one golden slipper for 999.. make up - No make up for court marriage, for wedding and reception it’s 5k together.. This was 10 years before.. one thing is I was not given much choice or option for outfit and make up since I choose the guy😊 I had to accept elders choice.. because I had enough drama fight etc for other things.. so I let go these things.. My mother in law chose my wedding look.. In these 10 years I have seen my marriage album only once.. didn’t want to see again,.
thank you yaar, I was the one who asked for that saree details in your reel from your reception. Love you so much for making a whole video about all the outfits 🥺
hehe thank uuu
I had to stop the video mid-way and subscribe to your channel. The sheer honesty and simplicity you have put up in this video is something that should really be appreciated. I so damn agree on the gold jewellery thing, not sure why we need to spend lakhs on gold. Also, this insta culture has spoilt people so much that everyone has started to think spending lakhs on a lehenga is “normal”. Like really?
And in all honesty, you looked ethereal in every look of yours. I would love to take some inspo from the looks. Don’t let people tell you otherwise.
Wow you look so pretty 😍 in all of your outfits. During my engagement I wore a golden saree just like you did for the event in Bangalore, I had a Pentecostal Christian wedding. But I got crazy load of criticism because my hair was tied into a bun that felt like I didn’t have any hair, but the truth was I was loosing a lot of hair and my hairdresser couldn’t make it any better. Man! My day was spoiled because of such criticism. During wedding since my dad wanted me to not change he bought a white silk saree with design and it looked pretty simple and for that too I received a lot of criticism.
thank you! :) And oh nooo - simply people want to sit and comment on others' outfits as if it's some fashion show. they should just be happy for the couple and quietly eat the food & enjoy :P
My Goodness you slayed all your looks and those are extremely cost efficient with sentimental values. You are very pretty😍
Honestly I was worried about setting a wedding budget and how I can keep it elegant, minimal and yet fun - and you did the perfect job on that ❤❤. All of uour outfits were fabulous, and you really looked beautiful in them 🎉. Thank you for showing us the process and inspiring all 😊😊
Can u do a video on the whole wedding expenses? Like venue, wedding planner cost, decoration, food etc?
Honestly your sangeet look is so elegant and you can tell in the pictures that you were happy, comfortable and confident
Yo!!!u r one of those youtubers to whom I can relate myself with!! Wishing u to have the best!!❤
:') thank uuuu
She is so amazing and realll. I love her malayali accent and speaking few hindi words in between is sooo cuteeee, that's the best thing. She's my new favorite UA-camr❤
And you looked fabulous in all your events. This is a great inspiration for new brides who don't feel the need to be tooo extraaa. I'll keep these advices in my mind for sure😊
