Delightful Celebrations by Tamarind Weddings – Making every day special

Tamarind Weddings believes that celebrations can occur anywhere anytime. We had the opportunity to rekindle the flames of a beautiful British couple on the shores of the Arabian Sea.

So, to honor this couple who had spent more than half their life together, their daughter Stephanie and Stuart’s brother Ian Mason teamed up with us. They briefed us on their idea for a live event to resanctify Stuart's and Sandra's vows and love for each other. We surprised the couple by holding a vow renewal ceremony on the open terrace garden of the ...

Personalized Compere Script for Weddings and Receptions

The Emcee, or the Master of Ceremony, is one of the most important factors in the success of a wedding reception. While you do not always have to go for a professional compere for your wedding, you can choose someone from your family or friends so that they can lend their special personal charm towards the compere script. The emcee could be your sister, brother, favorite aunt or best man! These people will know you and your fiancé better than anyone else and will have a fair idea of how you want your wedding to be. Another advantage that a family member has is the familiarity with family members and their names. Even the guests would be able to connect more with a known face, rather than an ...

The Multi-Turban Indian Grooms

A veil is a crowning beauty for a bride. A headgear is equally glorifying for a groom. A turban or a headgear plays an important part for the groom and his immediate male relatives.
