Needless to say, us folks here at the BlackBook For The Indian Bride are a sucker for all things Indian. Always talked about and known for their grandeur, Indian weddings have much more to them than the vibrancy and glamor that catches your eye. They are deeply rooted in tradition, incorporating rituals that have been around for centuries, and are essentially a marriage of two families. It is a once in a lifetime occasion that unites two souls as one.

Stereotypically associated only with Hindu/Punjabi marriages (damn you Bollywood), Indian marriages in reality encompass 7 other religions as well- Christianity, Islam, Sikhism, Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, Jainism and Judaism. But that is just one part of the big glossy picture. Marriage ceremonies associated with these religions are further divided based on which part of India the wedding parties are from.{For example, a Goan Christian wedding can in no way strike any resemblance to a Malayalee Christian Wedding. This has a lot to do with remnants of Portuguese influences in the former, and the Syrian liturgy followed in the latter. A Thamizh Hindu wedding would be totally different from a Telugu Hindu wedding.} However the love and affection displayed by families, extended families, relatives, friends, friends of friends, chauffeurs, nannies, your entire neighborhood while growing up on your big day, are quintessentially Indian.

Black Book for the Indian Bride was conceived with one aim in mind: to celebrate the Indian bride. Along with real life weddings that have managed to steal our hearts, we gather every information brides-to-be may need as a preparation for their big day. That is not to say single ladies aren’t welcome. We are all allowed to dream, aren’t we? Besides these, our blog features honeymoon destinations, wedding planners, wedding videographers and photographers, saree boutiques that include online stores, and more.
