NORMALISE NOT SPENDING WAY OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE ON WEDDINGS! thank you Satshya for normalising it!

[@SatshyaTharien]

hehehe thanksss :)

[@queenbeeaimie]

Yess

[@ShaluVarghese]

yess!!!!

[@danny8747]

I love how she didnt spend lakhs on wedding jewelry. even in south india people put aside atleast 50 lakhs sometimes to wear real gold in the end most people cant even differentiate real and fake jewelry so whats the point?

[@danny8747]

however im so surprised hair and makeup cost 91000 + 18000??? is it really that expensive omg??

[@dhiyarenny]

I am a South Indian myself and I have to say you looked so amazing . Every look were on point and the cost reduction plan you had was really impressive

[@SatshyaTharien]

thank you so much :)

[@mohamedfaizan9844]

Best part is that you took responsibility for the finances on your own instead of relying on your parents, as 99% of Indian couples do.

[@SatshyaTharien]

Thank you 😊 our parents also did pay for a lot, but there were some expenses that we took care of on our own (also helps if both families are on the same page when it comes to budget & expenses etc esp if they’re doing 50-50 split)

[@mohamedfaizan9844]

@@SatshyaTharien I’m sure they paid too. But the most admirable thing here is that you, as the bride, took pragmatic financial decisions instead of parents putting their entire life savings on the line for the wedding, in the name of the “once in a lifetime” guilt trip. You did well and I hope it inspires other people to do the same :-)

[@ironman0181]

​@@SatshyaTharienwhat community your hubby belongs to .and what is he do for living

[@Redmoz06]

@@mohamedfaizan9844 It’s always a personal choice isn’t it? Some people want a grand wedding and some don’t, nobody is right or wrong in this. It’s not a guilt trip for some people, many people treasure that day and the lehenga they wore for years. For you marriage might not be a big deal for some it is! Also i agree on one point that they shouldn’t endanger their finances completely.

[@mohamedfaizan9844]

@@Redmoz06 of course it’s a personal choice. But at the end of the day, one should spend only what one can afford. If one can buy a Ferrari and he wants it, by all means he should go ahead. But if he can afford only a Honda, and takes innumerable loans to buy that Ferrari just because he wants it, it’s stupidity. Unfortunately most Indian families belong to the second category, and live their lives in debt, just because log kya kahenge. I was admiring Satshya’s pragmatic approach, which I think every single individual must inculcate, regardless of their likes and dislikes.

[@niharikasolanki6549]

Brooo, it's so cool that you didn't got in the trap of "marriages happen only once ". You look so pretty, elegant and comfortable in all your outfits and the best part, everything can be used again.

[@SatshyaTharien]

thank you :)

[@subhashreemamali1118]

She Said that in her family marriage is not that grand

[@sanjana1114]

the red silk saree look was literally so gorgeous and fabulous!!

[@SatshyaTharien]

thank you :)

[@hersunnysideup]

I love the fact that you didn't feel ashamed in wearing your mom and sister's sarees and your thought behind it is also so wholesome

[@SatshyaTharien]

hehe thank you :)

[@anc2092]

Girl you won!! You looked amazing and didn't spend an extravagant amount given the number of events you have

[@SatshyaTharien]

hehe thank you :) yaa soo many events gosh!!

[@natasachopra875]

I am a north India, and trust me you looked pretttyyy amazinggg in all your outfits:) I live in Chennai, so I know there is huge difference in cermony and for someone who has never knew about is definitely a Shocker ( When I found out the prices of the halls and everthing, I was also shook on how much people spend on their wedding, specially a marwadi wedding where you don't really meet your guests properly and enjoy, because the guest list is endlessss...Anyways congratsss:) and again you killed all your outfits, you were wearing the outfits, and you made sure outfits were not wearing you:)

[@SatshyaTharien]

hehe thank you :)

[@ashd4117]

Ive always wanted a simple low budget wedding but all the reels and posts on social media nowadays are showcasing such lavish elaborate weddings that I kept wondering if there were still people like me lol! Im very grateful for your video and Im pretty sure your video has inspired a lot of us who are planning our weddings!

[@SatshyaTharien]

hehe thank you :) and yess you do your wedding as you would like it! :)

[@hardmantle]

all your outfits are so so elegant + inspired and you looked absolutely radiant!!! love that you borrowed stuff from your mom and sister, and incorporated traditions from both sides of your family 💕

[@SatshyaTharien]

thank you :)

[@neerusharma9552]

Being a North Indian, I understand how much pressure there had been on you to keep up with all pomp and show. Thank you for normalising the wedding and talk realistically on the cost involved. Kudos to you and family ….

[@hbs406]

I think a lot of the comments about not being grand enough are from the grand wedding celebratory regions of the country. I am from Karnataka , and our weddings generally tend to be much simpler ( even the hindu ones) for example mehendi and haldi are more of a ritual than an event, there is no sangeet. Again there are exceptions - coz rich ppl be spending MONEY. But overall I think all your looks were very pretty, appropriately grand and elegant based on the weddings I have personally seen.

[@RashmiKamath1201]

agreed

[@SatshyaTharien]

thank you so much :)

[@ritikaberma4003]

The red saree look was so so so stunning. I was truly in awe when I first saw the pic and still love it.

[@SatshyaTharien]

thank you :)

[@Preksha111]

"shaadi ek baar hoti hai" fomo trap is REAL, but I stuck to my outfit budget pretty firmly too. "Too halka for the bride" comment is very common, judging her outfits is even more. It takes a lot of painstaking effort finding the right clothes you'll love that also fit your budget - but I'd say hang in there. Kudos to you and all brides out there who don't give in and stick to their plan.

[@danny8747]

i think with proper styling and jewelry even simple outfit can look stunning. people just dont know how to style dresses lol

[@aditijha3777]

I personally feel silk sarees if chosen correctly look soooooo elegant and beautiful on anyone !!! So royal and elegant looking and using your mother’s saree was such a sweet and economical step !!

[@ishitasrivastava5909]

The people who said you didn't look like a bride are BLIND... you look Glam.. Classy and Stunning.... !! From dresses to makeup to everything... Amazing !! ❤❤❤

[@dulaapeeepa]

Even though i got nothing to do with saares and stuff i still watched the entire thing just for the fact that she talks with such an energy that just makes you keep watching and so involved like just uff love the way you talk satshya

[@SatshyaTharien]

hehe aaaw thank you so mucch :)

[@samidhakarmakar67]

It's inspiring to see individuals like you prioritize sustainability in their marriages, making a positive impact on the society. As marriage is the most crucial moment in our life, it is also important to think the amount of resources, especially in clothing, that are utilized for a one-time event like a wedding can be staggering. 👏👏👏👏 ( PS - I really liked the part when you mentioned you wore your sister's saree 🥰)

[@crazylittlevlogs777]

She and her simplicity is simply a breath of fresh air among all others here

[@snehalm4038]

As a to be bride, you’re the most relatable bride I’ve seen! Your looks were so elegant and timeless and not the over the top like the trend these days. Definitely taking inspo from some of your looks 🤭 Thank you for sharing this! 🥹

[@SyLviASaLvARio]

this is the first time I saw someone spend so little on the wedding and more on the sangeet lol You made every outfit so pretty!! the best thing is that it was GRAND in terms of emotions, not in terms of MONEY! and that is something we have forgotten along the way... ❤

[@kratikat8484]

This simple and elegant look is what I've always imagined as being my bridal look even though I'm a north indian .....and yes it's all about personal preferences and at the end of the day it's your confidence that speaks and not the outfit.

[@bhavanasundar5561]

You were literally literally my kind of bride.Simple and elegant, and I really like the natural look of makeup too.

[@SatshyaTharien]

thank you so much :)

[@nikhitamirekar5917]

I absolutely loved all your wedding outfits and was kinda waiting for a video like this since the day I saw your wedding pictures on Instagram!! And you were looking GORGEOUS. I must say in today’s day when everyone is so crazy about spending a fortune on their wedding outfits knowing that they’re never gonna wear it again, the fact that you had such good outfits which you can re wear whenever you wish to, and yet looked so stunning and bridal is so amazing! Have a happy life❤️

[@sumedhasharma6497]

I'm so in love with your perception. I like basic minimal stuffs too. You just rocked your authenticity. ❤️❤️

[@GauriV297991]

I'm happy to see that u spent mindfully on your outfits , jewelry n all other important stuff related to wedding. It is actually very important. I regret that i put lot of expensive stuff in my wedding trousseau esp indian wear even when i knew that I'm gonna settling abroad. Though I've worn few things from my trousseau but a lot of things r still untouched. And when it comes to makeup literally most of the makeup artists really don't know how to do natural n glamed up makeup without changing your skin clour n features even when u spent in lakhs. I'm glad to see how beautifully your makeup, hairstyles , outfits n pictures have been turned out. And of course your unapologetic repetition of sandals in all the functions 😊 kudos to you👏

[@SatshyaTharien]

thank you soo much! :) and hard relate to the indian outfits abroad hehe - i also carried some here but ended up wearing them only during a diwali event lol

[@edendsouza1719]

Your video shows kindness towards the brides who face dilemmas to meet unrealistic expectations and face criticism for spending in certain areas like dresses or makeup or how they need to look.It's a person's choice. Why criticize.Brides take so much efforts to bring all the minute details together to put a show. Just appreciate her efforts .I was shamed to buy a expensive wedding gown and jewellery. A lot of thought process goes into , going to different shops , comparing costs , trying to cut down costs.Yes , after watching your video I appreciate myself for the first time.I feel human. All your looks and choices were amazing ❤

[@sobiasiddiquie]

You looked stunning in all the outfits! Very classy and elegant! ❤

[@SatshyaTharien]

thank you :)

[@Nidhi_Maheshwari]

So wholesome 💛💛 Reuse, connections, family borrowing 🙆🌄

[@SatshyaTharien]

yaaas :)

[@hustlefree5486]

This is so good! Simple, comfortable, pretty and practical!

[@diptiagrawal526]

My sisters wedding is coming up and I feel the craziness of wedding shopping🙈 I have to say, you just looked so amazing for all your events and you made a beautiful bride🥰 the simplicity and practicality with which you planned your wedding looks is inspiring!

[@SatshyaTharien]

thank you :) and woooohoo enjoyyy on your sister's wedding!

[@unearthingankhi]

you indeed looked like cinderella!!! you looked like a constellation of stars istg, please don't spare one second for the ones who said otherwise Also my favourite outfit is the Delhi Reception oneee, you looked extra extra extra radiant and elegant maxxxxx, aahahajkdhehslsl, like a dreaaaaam 🥺❤

[@SatshyaTharien]

hehe thank you :)

[@zn7zn7zn7]

We spend a lot of money for on our wedding and then sometimes we end up in divorce or unsuccessful marriage and then we end up with regret on spending so much on something that didn't mean anything. But if we end up having a successful marriage, we look back and realise, it didn't matter what we wore, or how much we spend, or even if it was just a court marriage, we are still enjoying and having good time with our partner and every moment is beautiful. So, like Satshya says spend only on what makes us happy and don't give in to impressing others. if you have more budget spend on honeymoon vacations after the wedding, and having a nice home of your own. Don't spend to make others envy. You never know, you might actually end up having a successful marriage, if you invest on the relationship than the wedding.

[@SatshyaTharien]

Well said!

[@salonimittal7457]

love you for being so upfront omggggg

[@arundati77]

What a sensible approach to spending on the wedding outfits. You look incredible and I think you chose such good looks

[@greeshjae6495]

I love this. The way yoy have explained everything in this video. The importance you gave to comfort. And how it all turned out so beautiful. You look so amazing in everything. This is a dream.

[@Digipriths]

You looked absolutely gorgeous on all your events. When I saw this video I just jumped at it to get all the details - you looked bomb and were so good at saving a ton and investing where it was actually needed. Thanks for sharing. CINDERALLA ALWAYS

[@SatshyaTharien]

hehe thank you :) really hope it helped!

[@vaishnavipavithran6504]

My gosh Satshya! This was SUCH a good way to be cost-effective while still absolutely looking amazing. I am gobsmacked (and inspired!!) by your approach!

[@SatshyaTharien]

Thanks Vaishnavi❤

[@ambikat9371]

Hey... U have really a genuine personality that u put in front all of us... Also ur idea of not investing in lehenga on wedding day was on point.. U looked pretty in all of ur events...Heartiest congratulations🎉 on ur wedding👰💍🤵💒

[@fikaeeshtales]

i love how you repurposed everything 💗

[@ku3455]

Ah just love this video. Its totally my style for a wedding. I dont like jiga jiga dress for myself. All your outfits were lovely but just looooooove the red zari saree (Delhi reception). Thank you for being so open and honest about the expenses, reusing clothes and jewellery.

[@SatshyaTharien]

thank you :) and hehe "jigga jigga" - long time since I heard that!

[@gargigangotri1616]

You looked sooo pretty in all the outfits!! Absolutely gorgeous!

[@swayammishra7942]

Your respect for your MIL, husband's family AND how you kept your sentiment towards your own family is such a lovely example of respectul inter faith weddings.

[@anushkachaudhary5408]

As a north indian i think you looked absolutely beautiful and moreover happy, its a message to all that we don't always have to go out of budget to look good.

[@_mishal.a]

Honestly your sangeet look is so elegant and you can tell in the pictures that you were happy, comfortable and confident

[@zia9635]

you lookeddd so pretty in every outfit and the way you styled it. even the court marriage one. the red sarree look is litttt

[@suzieness47]

Timepass club 🙋🏽‍♀️ Thanks for sharing. You looked fabulous in every outfit. Also good job on keeping costs down.

[@savnaldevyani]

Hi Satshya, I loved your video. So simple, so honest. And the best part about this video is, it's okay to not dress up, dress up as per the standard set for the brides. The expectations are crazy and real. Whether it is from the relatives, from the shops you buy, makeup and hair artists. I am getting married in 2025, my partner and I had planned right from the beginning, we'll fund it on our own. Spend minimal money on clothes, jewelry and get what we like but we want to keep it sentimental, thoughtful and convenient for our us and our loved ones.

[@manishakachhap328]

Gosh you look so pretty in every outfit 🥰❤...love the concept of not spending huge amount of money on weddings..

[@SatshyaTharien]

thank youuu :)

[@mehreenkhan4917]

Being a half kashmiri ...i am bit dark skinned so I get so many comments regarding my tone. Also, my engagement makeup was done so patheticly , but still my finace is super loving so doesnt matter. All these small incidents make one wiser ...all i can say ❤

[@Living_the_curls]

I loved all your looks!!! Simplicity is what stands out for me and damn you did look like a princess ☺️🫶

[@monikongkanabharadwaj9915]

A marriage is much more important than the wedding! Thank you for normalizing it❤ My sister had done the same, she took very careful decisions financially, mainly because she and me and our brother took up the financial load.

[@JagritiVats]

Bruh. All these looks are so good like that sangeet and red reception saree is literally my inspo pic now...

[@jayamukerji261]

My Goodness you slayed all your looks and those are extremely cost efficient with sentimental values. You are very pretty😍

[@parriemalviyaa]

Thanks for relatable stuff, I will keep these things in mind for sure

[@sakthisanjanap]

Omg! Satshya! I loved all your outfits and you looked divine-elegant! 🌟 Guess what? I'm getting married in a couple of months (dusky-south Indian bride) and I've always liked simple stuff yaar. But I've been really put into this pressure that I should go for glam outfits and look and what not. But I've remained strong and made my choices with pastel and minimal stuff, be it dress or jewelry or makeup. Proud of the choices you've made and the advice (or its-okay-my-girl-kinda words) at the end made me feel a loooot better. Especially about the make-up and hairdo, really is soo true! Needed that. :') 🫂 (Been following you since forever, more love to you girl! ♥)

[@stdew07]

Delhi Reception look and Christian Wedding look were the best 😍😍

[@Daphne098]

I love how you wore modest and traditional clothes.

[@meenushanker1051]

Huge respect to you satshya u redefined simplicity at it best. In era of over the top grandeur you inspired so many girls and women including me to go simple yet elegant and save your parents and yourself that extraordinarily and unnecessary expenditure that breaks a north indian house budget

[@pranjaljadhav2691]

I love how realistic you are how you sauced that save that money for home hope many people should learn this instead of spending so much you can use money for travelling or buy house

[@thatduskyindiangirl]

Love all your outfits 😍..love your thought process ❤

[@user-dv1nj3ww5t]

I am soo soo happy feels like someone has put out my unspoken emotions in the video! Thank you for putting out this video We share the same ideologies on the wedding expenses related to fits and makeup

[@hopegood9559]

the outfit is pretty and you're looking beautiful

[@phoenixx-11]

You looked so beautiful in all your events , it feels nice to be able to recognise you and still u look so stunning , loved all your choices

[@SmitaBKujur]

hey satshya...literally loved each and every outfit and the complete looks are so gorgeous...your outfits and choice match with mine ,I love simple elegant minimalistic natual looks ..and really impressed by the budget..and can you make a video on your interfaith marriage like how did you all decide the events and their time..and was there any difficulties in blending of culture as a interfaith couple and family support..

[@reeyasingh54]

i am going to recreate your delhi recep. red saari look for myself 5 years from now.. loooooooooooved it. its exactly how classy and chic i wanna look!!!

And I love the fact that ur wedding outfits and jwellery and makeup was on a budget, you looked fantastic for all your events. Im a South Indian too from Kerala. Could you also share about the photographer details in your next video, it may help someone out there. God bless!!

[@imtheonewhobroughtthebeans915]

Maybe I’m biased because I’m also a Christian and I love when you talk about your faith on your channel 🤭 but my favorite outfit was the off-white sari!! Your makeup looked flawless too- it all came together to make you look angelically beautiful!! 🫶

[@farheenbegum2223]

We need more influencers like you❤ this was the exact same thought that I had during my wedding. But only regret is that I didn't find a good makeup artist or hair stylist😢...I had to do my own makeup and I'm not a pro in it.

[@SatshyaTharien]

oh daaamn - doing your own makeup must;'ve been quite stressful, no? hope it was all ok!
