"I love seeing how excited my 4 year old gets when I show her my work and explain to her what I do as my profession. Hearing her tell her friends that 'Ammi is a wedding photographer' makes my heart melt every time. I love coming home to my daughters after a long day of shooting or editing and it just feels great to have my passion alongside my love of motherhood..." - @FarihaWajidPhotography

One of the reasons we started Brown Bride was to celebrate the rich and diversified traditions of South Asian weddings. While there is certainly a lack of South Asian representation in mainstream western culture, we also recognize that certain groups experience exclusion even within the South Asian community.

When our co-founder Bianca was planning her Mangalorean Catholic wedding, she was on the hunt for a white lehenga that would embody both her religion and culture. Her lengha shopping experience turned out to be incredibly disappointing. Not only were local vendors unable to cater to her needs, they frequently asked why she wasn't choosing to wear red.

We applaud modern businesses like @KynahBridal that have created a bridge between cultures and established representation for brides who may not fall into conventional wedding stereotypes - whether American and South Asian (or both).

Check out the link in our bio to see our discussions with @aisletalk on South Asian representation in the wedding industry!

We love a classic henna design when we see one. Chicago-based Henna Artist, @art.of.shades, did a stunning job for @itsfarheeen's wedding!

California, we usually envy you for your year-round warm weather but right now, we envy that you have @lila.cakeshop in your midst! Just take a quick scroll through @lila.cakeshop’s feed and you'll immediately understand why. Her clients are raving about her work and talent on Brown Bride!

"LILA made us the vegan wedding cake of our dreams!! I reached out to Lara about vegan options. She was extremely flexible and not only accommodated our dietary request but made us the most delicious and beautiful dessert we have ever had! All of our guests could not believe how beautiful this cake was. If I am ever in need of a cake for any occasion, LILAs is the only place I will go. I cannot recommend it anymore. Your expectations will be exceeded by far!!"

We're big fans of NYC-based designer @harleenkaur.us, who's shown us that there's no need to compromise on style if you have an eco-conscious ethos. Her pieces have a timeless versatility so that you can go ahead and wear them again and again, no matter the occasion or place. We adore this lovely photo of Harleen and her life partner, and wish the newly wed couple all the best!

You can find Harleen Kaur on Brown Bride today! Support a small business by leaving a review and sharing your experience through photos, and anecdotes. Our future brides and small business community will thank you for your contribution!

To bouquet or not to bouquet? Well, when you have a bouquet that looks like this bouquet by @anandas.ca, how could you NOT bouquet! We know some South Asian brides decide to skip the bouquet since wedding dresses are heavy enough but if you decide you'd like a bouquet to accompany your hands, search our directory for a florist near you!

We're so excited to share that the Brown Bride has teamed up with @thefoodstylistny for something VERY special in the new year! 🌟 2021 is already looking better, isn't it?!

Our favorite creative caterer @thefoodstylistny takes food (and presentation!) to an elevated level. Founded by a British South Asian woman who recently moved to the US, The Food Stylist takes inspiration from the various parts of her identity. Her work blends elements of traditional British afternoon tea with South Asian and American food, and presents them with thoughtful decor and creativity. The result is a stunning aesthetic that we find hypnotizing (and mouth-watering!). 😍

You may be wondering how creative catering differs from traditional catering. While both traditional and creative catering focus on food and food prep, creative catering also puts emphasis on the styling of the food and its immediate surroundings (the setup, table decor, etc.) to create a visual display that fits with your event. It's catering PLUS, if you will.

P.S. While you're waiting for the exciting news of our collaboration, don't forget to check out The Food Stylist's latest treat box: Christmas edition! Pre-orders are being accepted now for delivery between Dec 14-25th. 🎁
