    ST:  What was the special occasion you were trying to find dresses for? What designs did you have in mind?

    SJ: I was looking for an outfit for my reception.

    ST: What brought you to Silk Threads?

    SJ: My Mom had heard about Silk Threads through her friends and heard that the dresses were hand selected and curated by Ruby and brought from India’s best designers!

    So she had me visit… I was honestly not looking to get any more outfits for my wedding because we had bought a few in India.

    I was pleasantly surprised with the incredible selection they had for wedding dresses . I wanted something that was a knockout for the reception. I wanted something modern and unique with bright colors and that could be worn for other occasions (just the top or bottom).

    ST: What do you like the most about Silk Threads and its staff?
    SJ: I loved how Ruby took hours of her time to find the perfect dress for me and the time she spent making sure the alterations fit just right for me. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful.

    ST:  Any tips for our readers?
    SJ: The jewelry they have to match with any outfit you are looking for is fantastic. The staff and Ruby are honest with their opinions and helped me find the best dress for me! So grateful that we found them because my dress was a show stopper.

    Thank you Seema – we loved working with you and your parents!

    Secret Reception Outfits!

    Bride and Groom’s names: Hayley and Zazanya

    Bride & groom reception outfitsST:  What was the special occasion you were trying to find dresses for? What designs did you have in mind?

    H&Z: We were looking for reception dresses for our wedding. We wanted to use the family color, crimson, and new that a half saree was what I needed to get, since my husbands family is South Indian. What we didn’t expect was for my husband to find his outfit that matched perfectly! As much as everyone loved my wedding dress, our reception outfits stole the show! We kept our change of clothes a secret and got to surprise everyone when we walked in to the reception venue.

    ST: What brought you to Silk Threads?

    H&Z: We drove 3 hours to look for outfits, and heard AMAZING things about Silk Threads and their expertise. As soon as we walked in, we knew we’d never go anywhere else for our occasion wear. Ruby sat with us for at least an hour going through every detail of our day and what would be best for us. Her attention to detail was everything! Her commitment to making sure everything was perfect and came in on time for our big day meant so much to us. And just in time, everything came in and fit perfectly!

    ST: What do you like the most about Silk Threads and its staff?

    H&Z:: Everyone was so kind and ready to help us at every turn, including all of my calls to make sure everything was coming in for the wedding day.

    ST:  Any tips for our readers?

    H&Z:: I would recommend going in with an open mind. My husband was pretty stubborn about wearing pink, but listened to Ruby and was so thankful in the end. I had some knowledge about Indian occasion wear but learned so much in meeting with Ruby. I decided to trust the expert and am so glad I did! It’s hands down my favorite thing I’ve ever worn!

    Thank you Haley & Zazanya – we loved working with you!

    Beautiful Sikh Multicultural Wedding!

    Bride and Groom’s names:  Samantha and Ravneet

    Location of the wedding:  Dallas Metroplex

    ST:  What was the special occasion you were trying to find dresses for? What designs did you have in mind?

    SS I was looking for dresses to wear to my wedding and to my mehndi function. I knew I wanted to wear a salwar kameez for my wedding day, but beyond that I was clueless.

    ST: What brought you to Silk Threads?
    SS: Someone at my gurdwara recommended Ruby’s store, and my sister-in-law had searched for Indian dress shops in the area and said Silk Threads looked like the best place to start.

    ST: What do you like the most about Silk Threads and its staff?
    KB: I liked how helpful everyone at Silk Threads was. I am not Indian, and I knew next to nothing about Indian fashion—especially for weddings! Ruby and the team were all so great at helping me figure out what styles I wanted. I ended up bringing in my mom and sisters to get their wedding outfits from Silk Threads as well.

    ST:  Any tips for our readers?
    SS: If you don’t know what you want, or only have a slight idea, just ask! Silk Threads has beautiful clothes, and everyone there is very knowledgeable and helpful. We were able to order outfits for both my plus size and petite family members, and everyone looked gorgeous.

    Thank you Samantha – we loved working with you!

    KB: I was looking for a suit for my wedding. I knew I wanted something different but classy. I had been searching for sherwani’s for some time, however as a “big guy” it was more challenging than I anticipated.

    ST: What brought you to Silk Threads?
    KB: I did a Google search for some places that sell Indian attire and chose Silk Threads because the energy, helpfulness and willingness to assist a total novice was very welcoming and comforting.

    ST: What do you like the most about Silk Threads and its staff?
    KB: What I liked most about Silk Threads and their staff was the fact that I was given honest feedback and I felt heard. I didn’t feel like I was in another suit shop with a person just trying to make a sale. The Silk Threads team really cares about what you want.

    ST:  Any tips for our readers?
    KB: Main tip, if you are on a weightless or health journey, be mindful that the alterations can be done, but its best to communicate your journey so they can help you accomplish the style goal you desire.

    Thank you Ken – we loved working with you!

    Wedding season woes: A guide to managing your fitness and health amidst the celebrations

    With the loud sounds of the dhol and the tempting aroma of festive foods in the air, the season of weddings is upon us. Amidst the celebrations and revelry, it’s easy to let our health take a backseat. However, fret not. If you’re looking for a guide to help you maintain your well-being during this wedding season, we’ve got you. But before that, let’s delve into the often-overlooked aspects of how a joyous occasion can negatively affect your health.

    One cannot deny the allure of the sumptuous feasts that grace the tables during the wedding season. From decadent desserts to rich gravies, the culinary temptations are endless. “However, chronic issues such as gastrointestinal problems, diabetes, high cholesterol, heart disease, high blood pressure, and weight gain can gradually happen if one is not mindful of their food choices and have a sedentary lifestyle. People with pre-diabetes must be vigilant as blood sugar instability can rapidly progress to type 2 diabetes,” Vilasini Bhaskaran, specialist dietitian NHS UK, and dietetic lead, Practo India explained.

    ST:  What was the most magical or memorable part of your day?

    A “caliente’” multicultural wedding!

    Bride & groom’s names: Sindhu Alexander & Michael Gutierrez

    Location of the wedding: Cityplace, Dallas

    Photographer: Amy Karp photography

    1. What was your vision for your wedding? We wanted something simple and elegant reflecting both of our cultures in the food and décor and even hashtags (#curryandqueso, #sarisandsombreros)
    2. What was the most magical or memorable part of your day?  Walking in with my parents – seeing my groom and all the love in the room and feeling like royalty in my exquisite outfit
    3. Why did you choose your wedding/reception dress from Silk Threads?  I have known Ruby since college at the University of Texas and have always thought she was an amazing designer-  and when we got engaged I knew I wanted to wear something amazing that was one of  a kind– so calling Silk Threads was a no-brainer…
    4. Anything else you would like to add?

    🙂 Not only did I get an absolutely amazing outfit- but my sister and future sister in law also wanted outfits  too- so we got to spend a whole day with Ruby designing each outfit- it was such a fun experience! Ruby took the time with each of us making sure every detail was perfect and each outfit was unique and  a few months later, it was amazing to see how the visions came to life when we all had our first fittings after the dresses came in from India. It meant a lot to me that every piece of material was hand-picked and stitched all in India. Our outfits were truly breathtaking- everyone loved them! I also had one made in my colors for my 15 month old niece who was the flower girl and there are no words for how beautiful and adorable that tiny outfit was as well!!

    Thank you Sindhu – you and your family looked adorable!IMG_1498 - Copy

    1. What was your vision for your wedding?

    Our vision was having a memorable and fun filled weekend with our family and friends by our side. I as the bride wanted a royal blue and gold theme for our reception since I love peacock colors!

    1. What was the most magical or memorable part of your day? 

    The most magical part about our day was was the first time we made eye contact right after the Anand Kaaraj. That was probably the best feeling I have ever had.

    1. Why did you choose your wedding/reception dress from Silk Threads? 

    Choosing our wedding ensembles from silk threads was only natural, as I have considered Ruby didi family for years and the fact that I have only ever worn Silk Threads.

    I was more than happy with all my outfits and wouldn’t have changed anything even if I had to do it all over again!

    Silk Threads is a one stop shop and Ruby didi will work with you and make you feel like the most beautiful bride from head to toe!
