Malaysia's Bridal Guide for Brides & Grooms

KISMET'S REGAL RADIANCE

Yes, it’s been 5 Great Years!

When Shaadi first hit the newsstands 5 years ago, a well-known Indian Wedding magazine was then every bride’s best friend and wedding planner. At that time, we were clueless about the Indian Wedding Industry as there were no other publications around from which we could reference the market’s demands. But we went ahead and did it! Some liked it and some said we could do more. As time went on we continued to research Indian wedding elements that were not included in media and kept our readers waiting eagerly for our every edition.

I just love this editions cover! It’s a result of great teamwork by 3 renowned makeup artists; none other than Sidi Oraza from Aspra Events, Rajes from Femina Bridal & Wedding Gallery and Surjeet from Mitra Beauty. Hope we can do more of this type of exciting cover shots.

My recent trip to Mumbai city was to explore for all wedding items, from bridal collections, grooms wear, invitation cards and also souvenir items. It can be confusing to see such a wide selection. No wonder it’s labeled the wedding city. I have compiled the most favourable areas for wedding shopping, places of interests to visit, food outlets, places for night outings and also places for personal pampering.

Wedding venues are becoming the big item in wedding planning and most of the hot spots are being booked 8 to 12 months in advance. We have a feature on questions to ask before finalising which type of venue to shortlist. It would be good if you could read through these questions with your partner to conclude your wedding style. You may be surprised by the results. Have fun!

Something special this edition; for the 1st time in the history of Malaysia’s Indian wedding industry we have produced a complete Shaadi Wedding Workbook.

Hope this helps you further in your planning and happy jotting!
