My Love of Indian Weddings

For years now I've been in love with Indian weddings. This love turned to obsessions after visiting India a few months ago. This is probably evident in half of the new invite designs I came up with for 2008. Wednesday, we finished up work on a letterpress order in our "Jaipur" style and it inspired me to post some of the amazing images of weddings I've had sitting in my computer for months.

India is all about color. From the bead and sequin markets to the brightly painted trucks on the streets, it's absolutely everywhere you look. Actually, it's pure sensory overload in the best way possible. This is surely reflected in all aspects of a wedding.

I also recently stumbled upon a wedding photographer I couldn't resist sharing with you. Her name is Dina Douglass and her company is Andrena Photography. Her photos of Hindu ceremonies are vivid, emotional and by far some of the best I've ever seen. Here are a few to feast your eyes on:







How about some of these detail shots from her blog...

Wish i had your friend take pictures at mine! :) I am from India and i got married 6 months ago...can't get over the fact that my wedding outfit was good for just one day...lol. I've just started a blog on Indian weddings where i'll be sharing pictures of my wedding and well as those of my friends alongwith the stories and jokes that make the experience so much more real. I'd like to invite you to comment/write on my blog or be linked if you wish so my friends can read more about your experiences with indian weddings.
