Mainstream products are not made with us in mind - this we know to be a fact. That's why at Brown Bride, we champion supporting small businesses - the non-mainstream folks - who are making products for us because they are us.

In 2020, @DesiVignettes decided to take her creativity to the next step and make her products more widely available for her community. Swipe through to read more about @desivignettes's journey!

South Asian weddings have SO many unique elements. Whether it's a daala, thaali, or an intricate nikkah pen, we know how challenging it is to just FIND these items. Add on a layer of customization and it gets that much harder.

@subrinashouseofcrafts was established in 2020 to make these products readily available for South Asian couples. Swipe through to read about Subrina's story and why she started her business!

"Flower Jewelry" is one of the most frequently searched items on Brown Bride, and for good reason! Adorning flowers at weddings is an age-old tradition that has deep significance beyond its surface-level beauty. Marigolds symbolize positive energy, jasmines - luck and prosperity, and roses - an everlasting symbol for love itself.

While fresh Flower Jewelry is commonly preferred, we've also seen brides opt for the alternative of silk flowers. California-based artist, @bytaimia, specializes in silk flower jewelry that look like the real deal! But most importantly, businesses like @bytaimia help us stay connected to our heritage, and for that, we are so appreciative. 💕

We're so excited to highlight one of our 2021 Brown Bride couples - who are getting hitched in a just a week!

@vivek40 and @priyapatel620 have known each other since they were kids. It was during their freshman year at UAB that they became friends. After becoming best friends, Vivek decided to take the first steps on asking Priya on a date. It took more than a few tries but after several attempts, Priya agreed!

After nearly a decade together, on February 8, 2020, they took a trip together to New York City. It was in Central Park that Vivek decided to finally take the next big step. At one of the vantage points overlooking a lake, Vivek nervously dropped to one knee. Priya already knew what was happening. His first words were “It’s time, after 9 years together...” Without hesitating or giving him a chance to say, “will you marry me?”, Priya said “YES!” Now, in just a few weeks, on June 12, 2021, Vivek & Priya will finally be getting married. They can’t wait!

"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!
