No wedding is complete without the favors. It’s not often though that you see very interesting favors at weddings. (more…)

We’ve all seen that Corelle commercial, at least I have, where they “grease” the run way so that the model falls along with the plate which doesn’t break, showing us how Corelle can stand up to anything! Almost everyone’s got Corelle laying around somewhere or another. They’re cheap, economical, and unbreakable. No, I’m not advertising here but I found some Indian-inspired designs I thought of sharing. Whenever I see paisley it reminds me of mehndi.

Though a little to “busy” for me they’re worth considering if you’re traditional. But, nothing reminds one more of mehndi then this “Henna” design! Its Indian vibe and cultural beauty are in line with today’s ethnically inspired trends.

Look around…and you’ll see so much that has been inspired by India and it’s culture. Then share it with us! If your pick is chosen it will be featured in our next issue!

Ok, so cakes are not Indians but they’re practically international these days. Who doesn’t have cake on their birthday, wedding, or any other important occasion. A nice eclectic mix of the Western cake and Indian designs and paisley prints is sure to create a beautiful Indian cake.

This Garden Greenery 3-tiered cake uses the Wilton Paisley Pan Set.

Although the three piece paisley pan set is a whopping $47.99 it’s totally versatile and worth it? Well, that depends on how you see it but I do wish that they sold one paisley pan by itself. I may decorate cakes but I just don’t see myself using all three at once more than probably once.

Paisley definitely spells Indian but what else can make a cake have a desi touch? It’s become popular to match your wedding cake with your clothes. So perhaps red with gold embroidery would transform well into icing if done properly.

So let’s start to put a pricetag on paisleys. This cake is beautiful and can be matched to your event but be prepared to pay $200.

And this paisley cake by Verusca is a sure hit for an Indian wedding.
