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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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!

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:)

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 ….

"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.

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.

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 💕

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 !! ❤❤❤

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 !!

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 ❤

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

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 🥺❤

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 🥰)

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... ❤

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.

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 ❤

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.

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

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

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! 🥹

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.

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

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

I had to stop the video mid-way and subscribe to your channel. The sheer honesty and simplicity you have put up in this video is something that should really be appreciated. I so damn agree on the gold jewellery thing, not sure why we need to spend lakhs on gold. Also, this insta culture has spoilt people so much that everyone has started to think spending lakhs on a lehenga is “normal”. Like really? And in all honesty, you looked ethereal in every look of yours. I would love to take some inspo from the looks. Don’t let people tell you otherwise.

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.

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❤️

I just turned 23 and literally spent most of my life wearing western outfits like jeans, tops and pants. I'd wear casual western wear to relatives weddings or events until I was 20. I recently started exploring traditional wears and Indian cultural outfits. When she was talking about having no idea about what to wear for her wedding I was like she's just like me fr😂. This video was very insightful for me.

I literally paused the video to see how gorgeous you were looking on your Christian ceremony 😍

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👏

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.

I don’t know I’m North Indian and even celebs wear light n jazzy heavy designer clothes that makes them look like sheep full of wool. But your wedding looks were really decent, beautiful and just like how bride should look😍😍😍 really inspiring❤

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

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

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.

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!! 🫶

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👰💍🤵💒

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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! ♥)

I actually loved all your wedding outfits. You have inspired me to spend minimally on wedding looks while still looking glam :) Im actually a Rajput, but I've lived in south my entire life. So in our weddings we have traditional Rajput wedding events and also the south Indian events.. And your wedding events are on point!!

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!

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

i am so glad u went for red and not those pastel trends❤

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!

Being a north Indian who grew up in the south, i wish to have a wedding so simple and meaningful.. Its a dream wedding for ppl like me ❤ congratulations 🎊 U look stunning in every outfit

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

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

You looked so gorgeous in all the looks! I love how you thought about repurposing your outfits before spending lakhs on them.

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

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

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..

I absolutely love all the outfits!! I am huge on elegant and classy, even in terms of makeup and you totally live up to it! 🖤✨

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

The most expensive accessory u were wearing was ur smile girl...just fabulous ❤

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.

love you for being so upfront omggggg

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

i love how you repurposed everything 💗

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

This was very helpful for all brides-to-be! Thank you Satshya ❤

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

Heart me out gurl , you looked so so pretty in all the outfits ,like really beautiful ✨✨ sunshine

Keep making more long videos ya, just loooove to see you talk. You are such a good human being and your goodness radiates through the video itself. So happy😊 stay that way always ❤

you looked soooooooo pretty in all your events and i'm so pleased to know that you do so because you listened to yourself!! so cool

I've always wanted a low budget, simple but elegant wedding and you validating that is so awesome. I love all your looks, would personally love to wear them for my own. Such a wholesome video❤

Hey beautiful,loved your looks and your radiant smile that you wire throughout. Loved how sustainable and personal your looks were.

Watching your videos feels so soothing and nice. And I love how you always speak from your heart and be very authentic♥️

You inspired me to have a hint of my mom's saree for my future wedding events .... thats just amazing tip. 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!!

You really looked soo elegant in every events and thank you so much for normalising not spending way too much money on wedding Your wedding was so elegant , you really looked so nice

Can u do a video on the whole wedding expenses? Like venue, wedding planner cost, decoration, food etc?

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.

Super proud malayali here sending a big kudos to you❤️You look gorgeous and classy in each of your looks and a big Congratulations on your beautiful wedding! Absolutely loved loved loved your video! What you said about the wedding being one day and marriage for a lifetime and the advice to spend one’s hard earned money wisely was so on point. I hope more people get inspired watching this and follow your path 🥰

Your delhi reception red saree is just a WOW ❤

Honestly, you look really stunning, and very true to what customs meant for brides to look like. It was always meant to be practical with sarees, infact in a lot of north indian weddings too traditionally you need to wear yellow/red saree. I absolutely love how you stuck to customs and wore your mama's sarees. that's my plan too!!!

I am happy to come across this video. I am looking for simple attire for my D-day. It's ones choice if they want to do wear something simple or loud 😇 and I loved your all outfits.

That red saree you wore at your reception..was dope.❤

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

I just stumbled upon your channel two days back and I’m in awe with the content you make. Especially this one. Omg, I really loved this the entire video from the start till the end. You looked so pretty Satshya like in all the pictures. I giggled and had fun watching it. I always wondered how people do budget weddings, aching insight mili. Loved every bit of it. Mazza aagaya ❤.

I love how you wore modest and traditional clothes.

the auntie was so right you definitely looked like Cindrella!! soo beautiful

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

You look stunning and radiant in each of your looks. ❤️ I remember being economical with my wedding looks 18 years ago too. It’s all about being smart and not necessarily shelling out money. Congratulations and wish you a happy married life ❤️

Wow you look so pretty 😍 in all of your outfits. During my engagement I wore a golden saree just like you did for the event in Bangalore, I had a Pentecostal Christian wedding. But I got crazy load of criticism because my hair was tied into a bun that felt like I didn’t have any hair, but the truth was I was loosing a lot of hair and my hairdresser couldn’t make it any better. Man! My day was spoiled because of such criticism. During wedding since my dad wanted me to not change he bought a white silk saree with design and it looked pretty simple and for that too I received a lot of criticism.

The most practical bride I've ever seen❤

Congratulations on your wedding ❤ you made a beautiful brideee😍 also could you share the lip colour shade that you’re wearing 💕

Firstly,it's a good and great initiative for bringing an important video to us. Great efforts. Could also mention about the expenses that are spent on venues and videography? Coz ,nowadays the major chunk of the expenditure is invested in the extravagance. By letting us know about it, could help us in minimising the budget on decor and other stuff. Thankyou.

I watched it for timepass onlyyaar Sathya, but it was so refreshing to see this balanced attitude, I personally am on my way back from attending a grand wedding where I uocycled my old clothes and wore the same Moti from train to the reception. It was fun to brainstorm

I loved every look of yours .... I completely agreed it's one's own choice to spend according to their preferences in which they are comfortable .. also loved the point where you mentioned about the people judging the bride her outfit bla bla and other stuff ..why can't people just bless the couple pray for their healthy happy life and mind their businesses ..coz every bride is pretty and it has nothing to do with her outfit, designer or not...
