Poonam was an amazing help to us, we came across The Maharani Diaries early in my wedding planning but wasn’t totally sure what we were after. When COVID derailed our plans we were ready to throw in the towel. It was such a tough time for our families. I reached out to Poonam and she helped us get our planning going again. She guided us (virtually held our hands) through the entire process. Poonam has a great deal of experience, and this shows through her work and professionalism. On the day, everything just went so smoothly, we literally did not have to worry about anything. She was at the venue at the crack of dawn she had picked up our garlands and worked closely with the venue and decorating team to have the venue ready. Every vendor reached out to say they really enjoyed working with Poonam and her team. We can’t thank her enough for helping us have the best day of our lives, and we highly recommend her services!!

Poonam was an absolute dream to work with! Planning three weddings in the midst of a pandemic, with both halves of the couple working busy full-time jobs is no mean feat, but Poonam pulled it off with both flair and professionalism. Poonam was always happy to lend an ear and offer advice on everything from outfits to decor to logistics. She not only coordinated our five events exceptionally but styled them beautifully. She truly understood our vision and made it into a reality, and we could not be happier with how each event looked. She was invaluable and an integral part of ensuring our whole week and the lead up went smoothly. She was detail-oriented, ensured nothing was forgotten and flexible when the weather necessitated a last-minute venue change. Throughout all the events her team went above and beyond whenever it was required and ensured any would-be disaster was averted. We are so lucky that we had Poonam by our side during the most memorable week of our lives, we couldn’t have done it without you!

Adding flowers to your wedding not only enhances the beauty of the occasion, but also symbolizes growth, love, and new beginnings!

Love how Priya and Blake gave us creative freedom to design their floral backdrops, centrepieces, cake florals and garlands for their wedding day. Of course, we had a fab team of pros to bring this vision to live. 

What do you think of the colour palette though? Dreamy right?

If you were to describe your perfect Valentine’s Day, how would it look?

Personally I am a hopeless romantic and so I love spoiling myself with either a sweet treat or cooking a lovely dinner for my better half. ❤️

Now it’s your turn. Spill the beans (or roses 🌹) 😉

How beautiful is this invitation? I don't know ab How beautiful is this invitation?

I don't know about you, but I love a gorgeous wedding invitation, especially when it's captured from this angle!

Your wedding invitation suite introduces your guests to the style of your big day/days. It creates a sense of anticipation of what is to come at the celebration, so make it memorable for your guests.

Loved how Samiha and Mishkat entrusted the help of myself and the wonderful @invitesbyveasnachea to bring their ideas together for their wedding invitation. If it wasn’t for their input though, in particular design and colours, we wouldn’t have been able to pull this off. Team effort! 

Don’t forget, creating an invitation actually requires weeks and months of preparation and work behind the scenes. We gather all your wedding ideas, determine the colour palette for each event and then the fun part, decision making process! This is the level of quality our planning clients have grown to expect from us.

So tell me, are you excited to design your wedding invitations?

It’s that time again, when we start feeling refl It’s that time again, when we start feeling reflective and looking back on the year that was..

Here are just a few highlights from some of the beautiful weddings I have worked on, some personal milestones and I’m also filling you all in on some exciting news for 2023.

💫 We kicked off January with a prestigious book launch at Sofitel Darling Harbour, featuring local and international delegates. We were quite chuffed to be honest that we managed to screen a recorded video message from former President and Prime Minister of East Timor, Xanana Gusmao and current President of East Timor, Dr José Ramos-Horta.
💫 Weddings were back baby! From planning a beautiful 3 day Bengali wedding at the beginning of the year to coordinating and styling our second Melbourne wedding and an epic 4 day Bengali wedding in regional New South Wales, it truly was quite special.
💫 I made a brief come back on the blogging scene and published my first article in a pretty long time. I was thrilled to be asked to pen an article for one of my favourite online wedding publications, Polka Dot Wedding. 
💫 We finally went on a holiday after 4 long years! Like so many other Aussies, we traveled to Europe and visited my in-laws in Singapore. Hubby and I celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary. Boy was it hot though!
💫 I made a lot of new friends and built new industry connections along the way. One of the highlights was finally meeting a few extremely talented ladies, who I had connected with virtually during the lockdowns. Shout out to @decorasian_uk @niche_weddings @theweddingtouchuk and @anjlislookbook for spending time with me in London back in July. 
💫 This milestone kind of slipped my mind to be completely honest with you, but I finally celebrated 5 years in business. It’s been a wild ride and there’s so much more to look forward to, including a destination wedding in Bali in 2023!

To all my amazing clients, beautiful and talented colleagues and partners, my supporters and friends, from the bottom of my heart, thanks for all your continued support. It’s been an honour to serve you. Wishing you happy holidays and happy new year! See you back on the ‘gram bigger and better in 2023.
