This Family Got All Their Engagement Outfits Custom-made Over Whatsapp in India Sitting in NZ!

Can you imagine getting your engagement outfit designed over Whatsapp, and trying it on for the first time only 10 days before the ceremony? Yup, we love creative brides, especially those who manage to plan their whole wedding in India sitting abroad! Innayat is one of those brides we came across, who not only did her and her entire family's makeup on her big day, but even managed to get her fabulous engagement gown designed by Roli Maheshwari Cocktail & Couture  sitting abroad, and that too all over Whatsapp! We asked the bride and the designer about how they managed this, and here's what they had to say about the whole process! 

From the Bride: 

"Karan is from India and was in Scotland for his masters, I on the other hand am from New Zealand. We met at a friend's party and ended up talking all night, which was soon followed by adding each other on Facebook and chatting almost everyday for the next 2 years. Eventually things worked out with both side of parents and we recently got engaged last month and I couldn't be more happy!"

"I am a makeup artist and extremely possessive about my family which made me decide that I couldn't let anyone get their makeup done from outside. We made a day out of it! On the morning of my engagement I chilled with both my mothers, my sister and sister-in-law. We all got ready together; me doing everyone's makeup including my own."

"I’m based in Auckland and I’m thankful to WedMeGood for helping me find my designer and vendors! I could book all my vendors sitting in New Zealand! My gown is my idea of a fairytale I always dreamt and wished for that sets me apart from other girls with my own bling and my man standing on my side. It took a lot of searching and possible mini heart attacks to find designers until I finally found Roli Maheshwari over the internet and contacted her. She had been the most helpful designer one could have because she coordinated and gave me my dream gown while I wasn't even there in Delhi."

From the Designer: 

"Innayat got in touch with me to design her engagement outfit over Whatsapp. She was looking for a wine coloured outfit, which I told her was very common these days. So I suggested the shade Ultraviolet to her, which ironically was a month before Pantone announced it as the shade for 2018! It's a new colour for the bride, and Innayat loved the idea. Then we went back and forth with swatches, so that she could understand the colour and the work on the gown."

"It took about 2-2 and a half months to design the outfit, since it was done long-distance. Innayat's outfit cost Rs 1.5 Lakh. I also designed her sister's gold outfit which cost Rs 40K, and the groom's sister's black gown which cost Rs 35K, as well as both the mother's outfits."
