Payal Singhal’s latest collection is very interesting – a unique blend that has been inspired by the bygone era of Indian costume and the rock and roll world of stage dressing! We like the feminine sensuality of the Mugal courtesans which contrasts with the modern pop culture fashion. Umrao Jaan and Lady Gaga maybe?? Quite a combination!!

Shannen Doherty (remember her from Beverly Hills 90210?) got married to her fiancé Kurt Iswarienko at a private ceremony in Malibu on the 15^th of October. The ceremony took place at a private canyon estate amidst 170 guests.

 Shannen wore a Monique Lhuiller white gown with a cathedral veil and a black waist sash. She did two more changes later and Lhuiller also designed the second outfit. It was blush pink with lots of tulle…truly magical.

A long white aisle was erected over the pool which led to altar which was decorated with white flowers. Rose petals were scattered around the altar along with candlelit lanterns by the sides.

The dress code for guests was black formals. We love the wedding invite. It featured a photo of the couple with their framed monogram….simple yet beautiful. The whole wedding will soon be aired on a new reality show.

Can’t wait to get a glimpse of the wedding preparations and celebrations!

The backdrop of a photograph plays a very important part in determining the entire look of the final photograph.  A distracting or inappropriate backdrop can reduce the effect of an otherwise breathtaking shot. So think very carefully about the backdrop for your photographs. This can help you capture and enhance every special moment, especially when it comes to the most important day of your life.

Here are some locations, which provide amazing photography backdrops that will no doubt create stunning images.

Mount Yoshino, Japan

Mt. Yoshino is one of Japan’s most sacred sites and a UNESCO World Heritage site, famous for its 3000 cherry trees. The flowers, which begin blooming gradually from the base of the mountain, spreading to the top, form a picturesque backdrop for photographs. If you desire privacy around these spots, it is advisable to visit any time on a weekday morning so that you avoid the weekend crowd of tourists.

Gujarati wedding rituals are very symbolic and lay down instructions for the couple to follow to be able to lead a happy married life. The responsibilities of the couple are clearly demarcated; the wife is supposed to take care of the home and perform all the household duties while the husband is supposed to earn and support the family.
