KISMET South Asian Wedding Show

Last week Chris and I were fortunate enough to be in Toronto for the Kismet South Asian Wedding Show which was spectacular! Congratulations to Paras and his wife Anita and their partners on, what I am sure was a very successful event. http://www.kismetweddingshow.com/

We started with the Fashion Show which was such an array of flamoyant colours, beautiful beaded dresses with lots of sparkle and even the grooms had stunning outfits to look at, especially the 'Sherwani's' with their swords and all! Newly engaged couples were called on stage for a competition and I was glad to see that I am not the only one who would not have a clue as to how to put on a Saree..... even more so, as it was the 'brides to be' trying to dress their grooms in the Saree!

The decorating companies were amazing, the 'Mundaps' for the Ceremonies were just beautiful and it was lovely to finally meet Amol Kapoor from Jashan Decorators! The Fusion Style Table Settings really got my mind racing and there is just too much to mention in one blog so more to come later this month!

I must admit it was fun to get my hand painted in Henna and I certain got my fix of Curries - a must for any Brit! Overall we had a fantastic day, met many great suppliers and made some wonderful connections! So come on Montreal.... when are we going to catch up with the South Asian market here!

This Sunday, I too am turning my hand at exhibiting at the Bride & Groom Canada Show which is taking place on Sunday 7th March from 11.00 am - 7.00 pm at the Windsor Ballroom! So if you want to stop by and say 'Hi' I would love to see you there......
