Nationwide Indian Wedding Planning Now Available
Online, September 29, 2010 (Newswire.com) - GERMANTOWN, Maryland, - In most social circles, if you bring up a wedding with women around you'll be surrounded by gasps and giggles. The conversation turns to the elegant white dress, expensive wedding cakes by gourmet specialists, colors, and the tux - welcome to the traditional American wedding. Tradition can be import though; there's almost always a focus on tradition at the heart of a wedding ceremony; especially an Indian wedding in the USA.
For those of South Asian descent that want to hold true to family and cultural traditions, it can be difficult to pull off that perfect wedding. The traditional American wedding is a walk in the park when compared with Indian wedding planning.
The fusion of two large families isn't easy. That's why many Desi brides are turning to a wedding planner to save their sanity and make the process smooth.
The downside is that there aren't many wedding planners with the capability of tackling a true-to-culture traditional Indian wedding while still capturing the modern, bold twists of an American Desi bride. It's your dream Shaadi after all, so it needs to be perfect. That's where Trisha Cranor of Working Brides has simplified the entire wedding process.
"I love south Asian weddings because of the detail and tradition involved. They are the most challenging to plan but by far the most rewarding. Each one is very unique because of the family traditions and spiritual beliefs." stated Cranor. About her staff she said "I'm very proud of my girls; because of their devotion, efficiency and attention to cultural detail they've helped me expand a very import service to Indian brides across the nation. We're no longer just local, we're offering south Asian wedding planning in states like Arizona, Texas, Florida and Chicago - pretty much anywhere."
Nationalization of Indian wedding planning is certainly no small feat. That kind of service requires an understanding of modern wedding design and planning mixed with a very acute attention to cultural and family needs... not to mention the ability to travel just about anywhere within the U.S. to make it all happen.
Trisha went on to speak about the intricacies of the Indian wedding and how she's involved as an Indian wedding planner.
"Our focus isn't just about the bride in an Indian wedding. There's a lot that has to be considered to make the wedding a complete success. Part of the planning process involves the designing of the mandap, selection of the perfect wedding saree or lengha, and executing the barat. Even the grooms' Sherwani says a lot about the character, tradition and dreams of the bride and groom."
Is it expensive? Well that depends on the couple, and the family, as every Indian or south Asian wedding is different. You could probably expect to pay a pretty penny if you want to have Elephants on hand.
The joining of two hearts brings families from thousands of miles away, and while an Indian wedding in DC, Phoenix, Boston or Miami may very well be one of the greatest challenges a wedding planner can face it looks like Trisha Cranor and her staff at Working Brides are rolling up their sleeves to bring that perfect day to Indian brides across the U.S.
