The Blushing Bride: Madhumita Sarkar

Hello everyone,

Finally after months (feels like ages) I am back with my “Blushing Brides” and today with me I have a super pretty lady from the City of Joy, Madhumita Sarkar. 

She got married on 31st January this year and today she is here to share her wedding moments with us. 

How did you guys meet?

“It was July 2009. Our 1st meeting was really unpredictable.He came along with a friend of mine, we met at South City,we three watched Ice Age then we chatted for long at CCD out there and my friend left us together.Our journey began with a cup of Irish Cafe.But strange enough we both were unaware of this entire plot planned by our common friend.”

So how long did you get to plan your entire wedding?

“We planned everything regarding our wedding very thoroughly. Almost 2 years.”

Tell us something about where you got your outfits and accessories, both wedding and reception?

“We were very particular about our wedding card, marriage locations, our outfit make up, food and tottyo. We made personalized cards, personalized tottyo suchi. Both my benarasi saris were from Adi Mohini Mohan Kanjilal. Shoes from Catwalk, my botua from new market. My jewellery from Senco Gold & costume jewellery from SHREEJI COLLECTION and our very own gariahat.”

Where did you get your makeup and hair done?

“My makeup & hair in both the days were done by Puja Achari. She did everything very well. She made me look simple yet gorgeous. I just loved my look.”

Tell us something about your photographer?

“My entire wedding was covered by Addwitiya Creation. Bishnu Da, Arijit & all the photographers were excellent. They clicked numerous candid and other photos and the best part was they never forced me to give pose and to click photos as per their wish.”

Any special moment you want to share with us?

“I believe my wedding was the best. For God's grace everything went good.

Few funny moments- While receiving the bridegroom we were supposed to give kol charani to mother-in-law. This is just a ritual- the bridegroom will sit on the lap of his mother and the bride's family offers something to take him away from his mother. But everybody forgot that  & left it at our home. Again my bhabi went home to collect the same. On the other hand the bridegroom & his entire family was ready and waiting for us to receive them. Our plan was to do the registry after sidur dan as I didn’t want Debojyoti to see me before subho dristi. But it was for our mistake everything was getting delayed while our registrar has already reached our marriage location .It was a funny situation and i was stubborn that i will not do the registry at first. Then it was decided by my brother that the registry will be done before but separately. I was in 1st floor & my husband was in roof, no one saw each other. & we got legally married.

 The most boring part of a marriage is the ritual with pandit. We have seen the pandits taking hours & hours & hours uttering mantras and so on. My panditji was super cool. He performed the entire ritual beautifully without harassing anybody and within an hour.”

Any advice you want to all the readers out there?

“Marriage-the most special event .We try to make it best as much we can afford. If you plan properly then lots of thing can done beautifully under affordable budget. My advice would be..try to keep few things proper. Firstly food- Be sure the food, whatever menu it may be less or enormous, the quality, quantity must be good & food must be served hot. Guest will forget everything but the food & the taste will linger forever. Pet khush toh sab khush .

Secondly for the bride & groom- Be sure about makeup artist & photographer. Photos will stay forever, so please choose a good cameraman & for good clicks we need to look good so choose your MUA properly.”

Madhumita is one of the prettiest and cutest brides I have ever seen. I loved her whole look; elegant, flamboyant and very “Bong”. Her makeup was perfect and enhanced her features. The combination of red Benarasi and gold jewellery can never go wrong on a Bengali wedding. She was the quintessential Bengali bride and looked beautiful.

Thank you Madhumita for letting us feature your journey here.

You both look great together. May God pour all his warmth and care on your lovely life ahead. :)
