An arranged marriage is just a ‘set-up’ initiated by parents to introduce their children to each other and see if they make a perfect match for marriage. Undoubtedly, it is a sure-shot way of finding the prospective life partner if you haven’t quite really succeeded in finding your companion on your own. 

Generally, the search for finding the ‘perfect rishta’ for a girl starts when she hits 24 and for boys when they hit 27. Out of nowhere, a tension spirit enters the lifestyle of Indian parents that its high time that they should find a good match for their boy or girl. Suddenly from ‘do not talk to strangers’, Indian parents convince you ‘get married to a stranger’ very soon. Every time they are in a social gathering or on a call, they will ask for suitable rishtas for you. Well, we can’t blame them, after all, aren’t we kinda finding a match over Tinder or other dating apps too? (pun intended) So, why not try and survive arranged marriage meetings?

While you have no control over rishta meetings, you can always take help from this arranged marriage guide to survive your rishta meetings:

1) Prepare yourself for arranged marriage

This seems very easy, but it’s very difficult to calm yourself when your portfolio is floating all around. Your relatives and friends would be suggesting rishtas and would be asking for your photos, but you need to keep your calm and prepare yourself.

2) Make a wise decision

We understand not everyone is in favor of arranged marriage, but you should always give it a thought if your parents like him/her. You can meet, or talk to them once or twice before rejecting him/her. Fair enough, right?

3) Get ready for rishta meetings

This is the most difficult of all tasks in an arranged marriage. Getting ready to meet a stranger. But we will help you with tips for your first rishta meeting:

Go well dressed and well prepared for the first meet: A parlor/salon session before the meeting won’t hurt. You would generally do it if you went out with your friends. So, get ready and be confident for your first rishta meeting.

A comfortable environment is important to continue the conversation: Gone are the days when the rishta meeting was done at girl’s place. Now the families generally meet in a restaurant or a hotel. And, when you both are sitting on a different table, make sure you give each other a positive smile as you both are nervous.

Begin the conversation with stock questions: Question them about their hobbies, about their family and job. But, asking directly about their salary would not be the right thing to ask. Go slow and try to create interesting conversations. Remember it is not a job interview. 

Use your observation skills: Don’t make it obvious! You have to keep your observation low profile, where you observe their body language while they talk. Try not to make them nervous by your looks. If you find them uncomfortable answering a certain question, try to change the topic. 

Know about their understanding of marriage: Ask them about their thoughts on marriage. What have they planned, ask them if they really thinking of getting married or if they have been forced to meet you? 

No Cheesy Compliments: Hey Guys, take a cue! Girls like genuine compliments so don’t go all cheesy in the first meeting. You might end up spoiling the mood.

Know your boundaries: It is a casual meeting, but you guys are strangers to each other. Make sure your presence is not making the other person uncomfortable. It is important to know your actions while you are sitting together.

4) Take notes

So, once you are done with the meeting and everything. Make sure you have everything in your mind which will help you make the right decision. And, if you are content and want to take it forward, you can ask them about the next meeting.

Hope this arranged marriage guide and rishta meetings tips help you survive your meetings. Do let us know if it helped. **Disclaimer: Everything written in the introduction is pure sarcasm and has no aim to hurt anyone’s feelings or culture.

Monsoon brides, we completely agree that nothing beats getting married in the romantic rains. And, while it may seem all picture-perfect with lush greenery and rains in the background, monsoon weddings are a bit chaotic if not planned properly. With monsoon comes the humid weather which can spoil your hairstyle and bridal makeup for your D-day. Not sure how to not let rains affect you on your D-Day? Well, if you are getting married in the romantic rainy season, there are certain skincare and makeup tips and routine you need to adhere to.

So, dear monsoon brides, these makeup artists have the answers to all your FAQs related to rainy-season skincare tips and makeup queries.

1. Monsoon brides, we know you struggle to keep your skin healthy and oil-free!

“The monsoon season tends to make your skin patchy and make-up often drips due to increased humidity. So make sure you cleanse your face with oil-free cleanser like tea tree cleanser and apply toner with gel sunscreen. This will help you hydrate your skin and protect it from dust.” – Makeup By Pallavi Sachdeva

“Monsoon brides, you need to be careful about your hair getting frizzy and prone to dandruff. Excess of dandruff results in the spreading of acne over the face and back. So, avoid swimming and getting your hair wet in the rains.” – MUA Ojas Rajani

“Cleanse your skin at least 3 times a day to remove excess oil that can clog your pores. Use a nourishing moisturizer to make your skin moist and healthy. For brides-to-be with oily skin, water or gel-based moisturizers are a great option to help keep oil secretion in check. Also, rose water is a must-have in your beauty bag. It keeps the skin firm and healthy.”  – Ritu Kolentine

2. Confused about what are the best waterproof makeup brands that you can add in your makeup kit?

“Water-Proof make up is a myth. It is only kohl and/or mascara that can be water-proof. In case of kohl, Kiko number 16 is great and the Bad Gal Mascara from benefit is an all-time sell out” – Meera Sakhrani

“Monsoon bride’s makeup kit is incomplete without a waterproof eyeliner and mascara. Brands like Mac, Estee Lauder, Bobby Brown have a good range of waterproof makeup. Setting spray plays an important role to fix one’s makeup. Urban decay All Nighter Setting Spray is a must-have in every bride’s kit.” – Pallavi Sachdeva

3. Struggle with dry skin during monsoons as well? Not sure which moisturizer to pick?

“Repechage’s Hydra 4 Day Protection Cream helps to prevent skin against environmental aggressors and other free radical damage. Repechage’s Hydra Dew Moisturising Cream is also a perfect pick for normal to dry skin as it helps to provide antioxidant protection and skin becomes supple and dewy. Repechage’s TZone Balance is very good for rainy season for combination skin.”- Ritu Kolentine

“During monsoon one should use a water-based moisturizer. I would recommend Glamglow Hydrating Moisturiser and Perenne Clarifying Moisturising Gel.” –Makeup By Pallavi Sachdeva

4. Want to know the best makeup look for a monsoon bride?

“Waterproof dewy finish in mousse form works the best as it looks like a second skin. It also acts as a shield to atmospheric pollution.” –MUA Ojas Rajani

“Since the humidity is at an all time high during monsoon, the best way to do it to keep it light and matte with a powder highlighter.” – Makeup By Poonam Lalwani       

“Doing good T-zone coverage and concealing the skin is a very important step that you just cannot miss. Keep your make up matte, and avoid dramatic eyes. Keep your focus on making your skin look great.”– Meera Sakhrani

5. Looking for eye shadow and lipstick recommendations for monsoon brides?

“Earthy tones for the wedding and playing with neon shades for fun functions like mehndi and pool party. Subtle nude shades of the lips are the go-to colours this monsoon.” – Makeup By Poonam Lalwani   

“Basic wearable lip shades should be there in your vanity which can go with all outfits including one in coral, pink, nude and red. MAC Nicopanda Lipgloss is the best lipgloss to swear by. MAC Ruby Woo and twig are my first picks. MAC Classic Cutie and Fashion Fanatic palette include textures from Lustre to Satin and Matte to pearl for creating a variety of looks that can be used with any outfit on any occasion.” –  Ritu Kolentine

“One should use matt shadow instead of cream-based ones. Colours like creamy pink, light brown, pastel and beige work well in this season. Lip Color: Settle down with long-lasting range of lipsticks during monsoon. Matte is the best choice. Avoid lip gloss as it will get sticky and smudge easily when you get wet. Use dark color lipsticks to make you look a shade lighter than your actual complexion and also stay longer.” – Makeup by Pallavi Sachdeva

There’s something magical about winter weddings as they say it’s the best time to get married. Well, why not, after all they are all cozy, intimate and romantic! And, while summer and spring weddings are equally beautiful, it’s the time when you don’t have to worry about ruining your makeup or hairstyle with sweat. However, planning a winter wedding is a little tedious as it may bring out issues that you wouldn’t need to think about while planning a summer wedding. With the change in seasons comes a whole new challenge of wedding planning but fret not, we have got you covered!

 These winter wedding planning tips will help you make your D-Day memorable for everyone!

1. Choose The Venue Wisely

Day weddings are suggested during the winter season as it bounds to get colder at night which might not be comfortable for you and your guests. Also, choose indoor venues as outdoor venues demand extra cost with heaters fixed for everyone to keep themselves warm. You can also light up your venue with lots of fairy lights which will not only look surreal but will keep the venue cozy too.

2. Book Wedding Vendors Well In Advance

As we all are aware of the fact that the winter season is the peak time of getting married, hence you should book all the wedding vendors timely to avoid last minute troubles. It is also advised to book your preferred venues and hotels timely before it gets booked and the prices are hiked. 

3. Keep Your Guests Cozy And Warm

Most important thing in winter weddings is to keep yourself and your guests warm. While your wedding rituals are on, keep your guests warm by serving hot chocolate, kulhad tea and other hot beverages.Give blankets to guests so that they can snuggle up and enjoy your wedding rituals. It will be great if you could personalise the blankets with your fiance’s and your initials.

7. Have A Winter Friendly Food Menu

We all know that food is an important aspect of weddings and winter weddings demand extra attention. During this chilly season, hot food can calm your guests. Make sure you include soups in starters and hot desserts like gulab jamun, gajar ka halwa and lava cake. P.S. don’t forget adding barbeque stations which are always a treat for the guests.

8. Keep The Venue Cozy

Don’t forget to put standing heaters around the venue. Also, it would be great if you can include candles in your wedding decor. Candles will not only keep the venue warm but will also jazz up the wedding decor significantly.
