Sacha and Kumar are an amazing couple. I feel so lucky to have been their wedding planner. The mix of the two cultures was wonderful. Sacha insisted on doing all the traditional Indian rituals and Kumar wanted to make Sacha happy by having a modern Catholic ceremony. It was a beautiful weekend filled with love, laughter and learning.

For those of you that don’t know…Diwali is known as the “festival of lights” and is one of the most important festivals of the year for an Indian. Diwali is celebrated in families by performing traditional activities together in their homes.

My fondest memories of Diwali are of when I lived in England. Each year my mom would give us a gigantic list of cleaning tasks. We didn’t rest until the house was fit for a visit from the Queen. After all the dusting and polishing we would open the windows (no matter how cold) and place a little diya (votive candle) on the ledge in hopes to entice Lakshmi. Then all the fun stuff came, tons of delicious food, decadent Indian sweets, fireworks, family and friends coming together to celebrate. Diwali brings out the best in everyone and it is customary to pull out all the stops with regards to food, clothing and decor.

Here are my favorite ideas for food, fashion and fun for modern Desis to celebrate Diwali 2011. Who doesn’t love a good samosa? Go to Sailu’s Kitchen to get easy to follow step-by-step instructions www.sailusfood.com. Splurge and buy a stunning suit by Payal Singhal from Exclusively In www.exclusively.in. A suit by Payal will make a statement at any Diwali party. Instead of fireworks this year why not light a sky lantern? Sky lanterns are a beautiful site, but can be dangerous so please follow the instructions carefully and don’t forget to make a wish.

Check out this amazing blog I found through photographer Lauren Ross. I love the details of this wedding and the pictures are just fabulous! Everything looks so effortless and chic. Plus they rocked the champagne tower. I have wanted to bring that back forever! Enjoy.

Whoopie-de-doo!

I am mad about whoopie pies and think this delicious little devilish dessert is a perfect compliment to any wedding menu. For those of you yet to try this sweet sensation here is a quickie description: A big, soft sandwich cookie made with two cupcake tops, sandwiched with a creamy filling – they’re like the best of both cupcake and cookie worlds. Yummy! For an Indian wedding I suggest serving chocolate coconut whoopie pies and mango whoopie pie s’mores. I found this great recipe at on a blog called Babble.com.

Keep Calm and Carry On

The nice thing about hiring a planner to coordinate your wedding is that you have time to relax and enjoy quality time with family and friends during your big event.

Some brides like to be busy and surrounded by people, and some brides prefer to indulge in personal escapes such as a yoga class or massage. I recently attended the grand opening of the beautiful ELLE Spa at the Eden Roc in Miami, FL. It is the first ever ELLE spa and the moment I walked through the doors I was instantly in a Zen state of mind.

If you’re a busy bride getting married at the Eden Roc you MUST fit in some well deserved pampering. Whilst you’re there, don’t forget to check out the spa’s amazing store. It is petite, tres chic and is stocked with fabulous products.

My favorite find is Lollia Calm Body Powder. Seeing this perfect round box evoked feelings of nostalgia as it reminded me of sneaking into my grandmother’s room and exploring all the fun things she had laid out on her dressing table. This fantastic little gem is a wonderful treat for any bride looking for a soothing moment away from the camera’s, stylists and…ahem, sometimes overbearing family members.
