• A Pop of Colors:

This look does not just apply to modern wear but goes well with sarees or lehengas too. 

We have seen many brides looking gorgeous with this trend for their weddings, and we highly suggest this to you future brides too. This eye makeup is unusual, interesting, and looks great on the eyes.

• Natural Glam:

Regardless of your eye shape or skin tone, you can't go wrong with neutral brown eyeshadow. 

This eye makeup makes your eyebrows look thick and fluffy. 

To add drama, place the darkest colour on the bottom of the outer corner of the eye, and add some light brown gloss to the centre of the eyelid to get a little shimmer.

• The Classic GoldenEye:

The Classic Golden Eye never gets old. 

If you decide to combine golden eyeshadow with your wedding dress, we fully support your decision!

Ladies, this colour not only emphasizes your appearance but also makes your eyes look bigger. Whether you choose a lehenga or saree for your important day, this eye makeup will create a sensation!

• Soft and Smokey Eye:

If you are looking for dramatic yet soft and romantic bridal eye makeup, you should check this gorgeous eyeshadow. 

Put the darkest shadow on the outer corner of your eye and keep the inner corner light. This look looks simple and adds depth without looking too dark or too heavy.

To create an intense look, draw the upper eyeliner and waterline (top and bottom) with a soft eyeliner. If you want to go for a smoky makeup effect, you can use a small angle brush to spread the eyeliner outwards, like faded wings.

• Hey Pink Eyes! :

Pink eye makeup is a new addition to the eye shadow trend this year, and it must go nowhere. 

This colour can be as delicate and vibrant as you like which is why it is so special especially when you are wearing pink or pastels.

This pink eyeshadow is said to be “universally flattering and offers a quick way to brighten the eyes.”

4 Things To Keep In Mind While Choosing An NRI Life Partner

Most Indians have been fascinated by NRI weddings because they get the opportunity to live abroad. 

If you are also passionate about NRI marriage and are looking for NRI prospects, you can keep the following things in mind:

1. Never Settle For Anything Less:

The first thing to do while looking for an alliance online is that you should never settle for someone you don't see yourself getting along with. 

You will find many options and settling for someone you may have doubts or inhibitions about is just not the right choice. Compatibility is something that should also be considered and if you want to live a happy life, you should make sure that you are making the right choice. 

2. Be Very Specific With Your Search:

While looking for an alliance on matrimony sites, it is very important to be specific with your search. 

You have to state the hobbies, work culture, interests of the person you are looking for, and everything needs to be mentioned precisely so that there are no unnecessary issues after you move to another country with them. 

You have to be very specific and selective to make sure you’ve made the right decision.

3. In-Depth Check is a Must:

The next thing to keep in mind is to check the background of the potential brides/ grooms at the matrimony site, whether you are going to get married in the United States or another part of the world. 

Make sure you know where and with whom you will be spending the rest of your life. It could be completely foreign parents and your family, hence it’s always advisable to do an in-depth check about the prospect. 

4. Be Open-Minded:

While you need to be very specific when it comes to choosing your partner, it is also important to leave room for negotiation. 

You need to know the things you can let go of and a few things that you shouldn't and being open about such things will give you more options to choose from which will help you find your ideal partner. 

Faith makes all things possible. Love makes everything easy.

Let’s look at the different Wedding Photography Poses that could make your shoot better :

The First Look :

Not all couples get to choose the first look photograph. For those who do this, we like to call it, love-at-first-sight and it is a particularly important time to take pictures. 

The Dip :

This is an epic pose and in this pose, the groom usually dips the bride. When it comes to wedding photographs, these looks can leave special memories as it is a gesture of love and it symbolizes trust that your partner won't let you fall and will be there to hold you.

This pose will give the couple a wonderful feeling because when they look at this later on they will feel just like one of those couples in a TV show or a movie.

Holding the Bride :

For this pose, the groom can hold the bride in many ways, for example, the groom lifts the bride in his arms or can just stand behind her and hold her from behind. 

Currently, this is an interesting wedding pose that also highlights the bride's beautiful dress and the pictures look great.

The Running Shot :

In this pose, the couple holds each other's hands and walks towards the camera. 

This pose will make your wedding photos lively and interesting as it will give a candid effect and will look natural as the couple will be looking at each other while walking.

Lying in the Grass :

Some brides may not like this pose because the grass can easily stain their wedding dress. 

For those who are adventurous, lying on the grass is a lovely wedding pose. This pose can create a magical and intimate moment for you and your partner.

Couple Dance :

Even if you are not a dancer, you cannot get rid of this tradition of the classic wedding dance. 

Therefore, before the wedding or even during the reception, be sure to learn some steps and practice them with your partner. 

We would suggest you enter the dance floor enjoying the music and be yourself while dancing!

Runaway Bride :

This one is for the brides, imagine if you run away from your partner and see how much he wants to be with you. 

These fun and joyful photos add excitement and will spark your photo album.

Mudaliar Wedding Rituals

Weddings in India and every one of the wedding ceremonies has such a lot of significance in them. Every little custom has a lovely story installed in it and one must be fortunate to have a wedding loaded up with such excellent ceremonies. 

Bringing to you all the adoration and euphoria, flawlessly mixed with customs and ceremonies from the tamizh mudaliar wedding rituals. 

A customary tamizh mudaliar wedding starts with 

• The Pandakaal where both the families offer prayer to god for an upbeat, continuous wedding. This custom happens a day prior to the wedding.

• The custom of purifying and cleaning, Nalungu is normally done on the night prior to the real wedding. The lady and the husband are made to sit in mats and tree plates are kept close to them containing turmeric glue, kumkum, scented oils, and a combination of lime and turmeric in water (Aarti).

• The Muhurtam day starts with 'Mappillai Azhaippu' where the sibling or uncle of the bride welcomes the lucky man to wed the lady and he is invited by the bride’s family in an important way.

The morning of the wedding implies the best day of the couples' lives and a 'pandal' is introduced to stamp the beginning of a festival. After which the bride takes part in the Padha Poojai where the bride washes the elder's feet to show appreciation to them, at that point, the Kasi Yatra occurred where the husband to be prepared for the journey, however, is halted by the lady of the hour's sibling mentioning him to wed her. This is followed by 'Mahalakshmi Pooja' where prayers are offered to the Goddess of wealth.

 

After these customs, several prepare for the muhurta while the man of the hour's family cooks Pongal in an earthen pot, this custom is known as the Manai Pongal. The Muhurtam starts with the priest lighting the hallowed fire and directing the Ganapati homam, looking for endowments of Lord Ganesha after which the lady is given over to the man of the hour – this is called Kannika dhanam, the most vital piece of the wedding. The lucky man at that point ties the sacred 'Mangalam string and rice dunked in turmeric is showered upon the couple as a demonstration of gift to the couple. After this there are a couple of more practices that are done to finish up the wedding such as-

• Omam- Where the couples pay homage to the sacred fire

• Sesha- Blessings for the couple

• Paying respect to the Arasanukkal: The couple goes around the “arasanikkal’ three times.

That is the occasion; two spirits are integrated until the end of time. Then the couples have a Reception where the post-wedding celebrations happen. 

May the years ahead be filled with love and joy.

Happy Kalyanam!
