Here are some handy tips on how to preserve chiffon and cotton sarees.

Cotton Saree caring tips:

Cotton sarees need a lot of maintenance because they are made of delicate material. Since many of these sarees are woven, they require extra care.

• Be careful to wash cotton sarees in colors like black, red, turquoise and deep blue separately since they tend to bleed.

• Cotton sarees should not be immersed in water for long. They should be soaked for a maximum of 5 minutes and washed immediately.

• They should be dried in the shade and never in direct sunlight as this may cause the color to fade.

• Before ironing, they should be sprinkled lightly with water and pressed with a moderately hot iron. Cotton sarees get creases very easily, so iron with care.

• Cotton sarees with zari detailing should be dry cleaned and not washed at home.

Chiffon Saree caring tips:

Chiffon sarees also require maintenance since they are made of a flimsy material.

• Chiffon sarees ideally should not be washed at home and should be sent to dry clean.

• While wearing the saree, avoid using saree pins. Saree pins may snag the lightweight material.

• Chiffon sarees with heavy embroidered borders and zari work should not be hanged in your wardrobe, since they might start to

The traditional red and gold saree makes the perfect bridal wear for the Indian bride. Red symbolises the passion, joy and prosperity and the gold is the carrier of wealth and wisdom. Gold also represents the colour of heaven. Thus these two colours make a perfect combination for the bride who is entering a new phase of her life with lots of hope in her eyes.

The tradition of wearing red and gold on your wedding day is as old as the institution of marriage itself. In the olden days a deep red saree in silk with broad gold thread border was worn by the bride-to-be. However over the times, the wedding saree has evolved in to a fashion statement of sorts.

Different materials such as chiffon, georgette, brocade, net are nowadays used to make the red and gold saree. The thread embroidery is not joined with golden sequins, laces, and beads. The designs of the saree also vary in terms of the work done on them.

You can choose from a saree with a red base and golden thread embroidery all over it and a thick golden lace bladder, a red base saree with work on the lower and front portion. Plain red saree with heavy work on the border is also very popular among the young brides. Adding a twist to the traditional red and gold combination, designer sarees with gold dress material as the base and beautiful red thread work have become the latest hit among the new brides.

Tip: These sarees can be worn with beautiful golden blouses and cholis to suit your individual styles.

1. Fareeaa please tell us about your business and journey till now.

My ambition and passion for the Art of Henna & Make-Up has strengthened my drive to always be ready to show my artistic proficiency, whether it’s Contemporary or Traditional Henna and Bridal Makeup, or, Beauty, Fashion & Creative Make-Up.

Having over 6years of experience behind me, I provide my clients with a fusion of both Western and Eastern styles in order to create bespoke intricate Bridal Henna, Hair & Make-up for both modern and traditional brides to-be.

2. What made you fall in love with this profession?

I was born to be an Artist; the passion for Make-Up and Henna just ran through my veins.

Throughout my teenage years I’d beautified my family member’s hands on Eid with intricate henna designs, and made over friends for parties and proms as my hobby. My first ever Bridal Henna booking was at the age of 13yrs.

“… I was very nervous, as you would be at that age, but once I got going, there was no stopping me.”

Keeping this as a hobby, I continued with my studies in Business, and then went on to university and studied Marketing.

3. Any Special/Remembering moment or event of life you would like to share with readers.

In 2008, I was persuaded by a close friend (My inspiration and guide) to enter The Art of Henna competition, which was to take place in Wembley, London. Up against other aspiring artists, I adorned the hands and arms of the model with my unique Rajasthani inspired design. The pressure was on. Whilst applying such intricate henna, I was also expected to deliver the judges with a little background of myself, the Art of Henna, and what inspired me. The day came to an end, as I took home title of “Bridal Henna Artist 2008”

“..It’s a moment I’ll never forget. I remember standing there as the judges announced the runners up. I looked over to my friend as they were about to announce the Bridal Henna Artist… All of a sudden I heard my name, shocked yet over the moon. I was so happy”.

From that moment on, I decided to spread my wings into the Asian Bridal Industry by launching my own website and other social networking hubs to gain more publicity amongst my potential clienteles.

4. What all services you offer?

I provide a high-end service to all my clienteles. I offer trials/consultations for Bridal Make-Up and Henna. When it comes to Make-Up, I agree, you just can’t settle for that one look. I work with client ideas and produce two looks based on their choice of Contemporary or Traditional styles.

“When it comes to my Brides, I take everything into account; from her Jewellery to her outfit. Its all about bringing everything together, to create that all over perfect and breathe-taking looking”

To adorn the brides, I travel to their homes or selected venues.

I also provide my expertise to family members of the bride, or, groom; and across other functions and events.

“As a Make-Up & Henna Artist I aim to provide only the best to all my clients. I have established the finest, smoothest & darkest staining henna powders possible, for the best colour results; and Professional Cosmetics i.e. MAC Cosmetic to delivery flawless outcomes. I enjoy my work deeply, and hope that my clients enjoy it more!”

5. Any specialty which makes Fareeaa stand different from other Make-up Artists.

I think each artist is different from one another, and we all work very hard to deliver the best services possible to our clients, whether that be Henna or Make-up.  If given a chance I would love to collaborate with other artists. I leave my work to speak for itself, as every bridal booking is unique within itself.

So how do you select the most beautiful and the right wedding lehnga what fits all your requirements? You don’t want your wedding lehnga to be too heavy so that it is uncomfortable to wear and you don’t want it to too light so that it is not festive enough. Quite a dilemma, right? A famous Indian Designer once said – “The perfect wedding lehnga is the one you fall in love with”.

The right wedding lehnga is the one, which makes you feel rich and luxurious and at the same time is very comfortable and classy. Here are some tips to keep in mind while selecting your wedding lehnga:

The fabric and work: It is customary for a bride to wear heavy works and rich fabric but you must choose your lehnga according to the season. If your wedding date is set in winters then you can choose materials like brocade and silk and if you are going to have a summer wedding then chiffon, georgette, and even Lycra will be the perfect choice.

The cut and style: Your body shape will dictate the cut and style of your lehnga and the choli. A fish cut lehnga in dark colours will make a heavy body appear slimmer and give an illusion of height. Go for designs that are symmetrical and generally in an oblong fashion. If you have a thin body shape then opt for lehnga that has a A-line cut or a flared bottom in light colours. Anarkali type cuts suit every style.

The work: The choice of the amount of work you want will depend entirely on your choice. You can chose from works like zardosi, sequins, thread embroidery, beads and sparkles. Always go for designs that you like at the first sight.

Right price for wedding lehnga: Modern girls do not find the run-off-mil wedding lehnga much appealing therefore they go for designers and obviously the designers cost. If you shop smartly, you must know the difference between the right-priced and over-priced. Expert as well as fresh designers charge between Rs. 20,000 up to 3 lacs or sometimes even more. Now it is up to you that how much you are willing to pay for your wedding lehnga and completely dependent on your budget, status and styles.

Lehnga is not the only choice for the wedding dress; you may experiment with the traditional lehnga. For example: instead of choosing reds and maroons opt for teal blue, orange, rust, mauve colours etc. Lehnga sarees can also be good option for you according to the latest trends.
