A list of things that we have no answers for:

  1. When will Jon Snow get to know he's a Targaryen? 
  2. What makes samosa cravings happen the moment you plan your diet for this month?
  3. Why are we so obsessed with the sister of the bride?

Not necessarily in that order, but we love the sisters who show us some unique outfits. That's why this time we picked a sister who was featured in the cutest wedding from last week, the Nina wedding. The sisters, Nina and April, run a boutique in Chandigarh called Nina.B (Nina is the primary designer) and they made sure this wedding showcased all their talent fully. They made clothes on their own - designs, ideas, execution and here's April's look-book from that wedding. Everything was under a budget, pre-used and vintage and that makes it even more special. 

The Mehendi Look 

"The outfit was designed really around my jewellery. So there are these necklaces from my mom's collection which are my favourite! One, is turquoise and the other is a coral necklace and I wanted my look to showcase them. That's why I got a beige lehenga made with a fun crop top and structured it around my my masi's phulkari dupatta from her wedding day" explains April. 

The Sangeet Look 

 

"For the Sangeet, I wanted something fun. My sister got this pretty mint-green polka dupatta for her Mehendi and I loved it. So I got myself another shade of it in baby pink and it worked well with my jewellery!" adds April. 

The Wedding Look

"My sister had a plan for her bridesmaids and family for the wedding. She wanted all of us to wear some shade of green. So I began searching all over Pinterest and found a great colour I loved - Lavender. Now how to include that into my look? For me, lavender and mint green looked like a beautiful combo. My mom came to the rescue with this sari she had - someone gifted it to her on her wedding. So I used that to make my lehenga, added a dupatta. And since everyone was super busy with Nina's clothes, me and my maid literally started sewing the tiny pearls on it" adds April.
