Supplier Spotlight - Desi Bride Dreams

 
  Hello there, tell us a little about yourself... 

My name is Sharn Khaira and I am the founder of Desi Bride Dreams which is a Asian Bridal Blog offering planning tips, advice and real wedding features for Asian brides to be. Also on Desi Bride Dreams I share my bridal journey as my big day is next year. 

What was the inspiration for starting your blog? 

I've loved all things weddings ever since I was a little girl and when I got engaged earlier this year there was a real lack of Asian wedding blogs which offered planning and advice. As a bride I felt overwhelmed with everything, so I took the plunge in July and set up Desi Bride Dreams and I haven't looked back since. 

What makes you stand out from the crowd? 

I think my style and personality set's me apart from other blogs and also the fact that I am actually a bride myself getting married next year. I understand the difficulties and dilemma's that brides face whilst planning their wedding and Desi Bride Dreams is the answer to those wedding woes. 

What are you tipping as the next “big thing” for weddings? 

I think the next big thing and something that’s trickling in already is Asian wedding planners. Asian brides are realising that Asian wedding planners don't cost the earth and an average Indian wedding has 250 hours of planning time so it's a lot to take on whilst you have a day time job! They want someone else to take the stress so they can focus on all the fun bits.

Best advice for brides and grooms to be planning their wedding? 

Get organised! Organisation is key to eliminating the stress and make sure you don't do it all on your own. Delegate tasks to other people such as family and friends to take the pressure off. I would also say negotiation is key and do shop around lots before booking your suppliers. There are endless choices so make sure you get good quality suppliers at good value as well. Also with Asian weddings a lot of the time can be about the two families, make sure you have your say because after all it is your big day.
