If you’ve been following my blogs about the domestically challenged desi bride (that would be me) you’ll know I’m really into all things wedding-y right now, but I’m not the only one! Our friends Karan Wadhera (who got me to start blogging to begin with) and his gorgeous fiance Nicole Oversier are tying the knot in October and her BFF Milli Raja Ahuja threw her the most awesome bridal shower at the Good Earth Tasting Room recently.
First up I have to say Milli you’re a star and should seriously consider this doing professionally. Folks, in case you didn’t know, you can actually hire out a private section upstairs at The Tasting Room for small gatherings. But only Milli’s attention to detail and flair for table setting would make it look quite like this!
Plus she came up with some thoughtful games for us to play including how well we knew the bride (Nicole I’ll be wearing blue to your wedding since I now know that’s the color you like to look at!) and (my fave) how well she knows the groom! Before the shower Milli emailed Karan a series of questions to answer about Nicole which we first tested on her and then took turns reading out his actual answers. Suffice to say much ooh-ing and aaw-ing ensued and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. (Well done groomie! You definitely raked up some serious brownie points. *Ka-Ching*)
I know this isn’t that common at Indian weddings but now that we’re doing baby showers and bachelorettes I say we start doing bridal showers too. Its such a fab way to dress up and spend an evening over treats and happy-teary-toasts with your girlfriends before your big day, dontchya think?
P.S. If you want to pull something like this off, I can put in a word with Milli 🙂 and Nicole, congratulations fellow bride-to-be! Thanks for the invite, I can’t wait to dance at your wedding 🙂 xoxo
