    Our stylish #RealBride Vanita!

    Vanita has had a long relationship with Silk Threads, more of a family than one of our designers and merchandiser. So naturally we were very excited when she got married in 2014! (Now we are working on her sister’s wedding outfits – coming this Summer!)

    Here are some amazing pictures from her reception, with both Vanita and Nauraj setting fire in Turquoise!

  • Unique Proposal: #RealBride Sofia

    Unique Proposal: #RealBride Sofia

    1. Where did you meet your husband?

    We first met in college as freshman at Texas A&M. We were friends throughout college, after graduation we started dating.

    2. How did he propose?

    He proposed at the Kimball Art Museum in Ft Worth. He told me we were going to his coworkers wedding so I needed to get dressed up. However, said lets stop by the museum first since we were early. We walked around and viewed the artwork, then when we walked around the corner he had a caricature displayed in the courtyard, a picture of him proposing to me! He got on his knees and i said Yes!

    3. Why did you come to Silk Threads?

    I was referred by my friend

    4. Did you have a wedding outfit in mind?

    I had an idea of what my wedding sari would be

    5. Do you have any advice for brides to be?!

    On the actual day, just relax, enjoy the moment, take as many mental pictures as you can, and soak it all in. Don’t worry about anything including what little things need to be done because ultimately it does not matter because you are about to marry the love of your life!
  • Wanted Vintage Fusion Outfit – #RealBride Neha

    Wanted Vintage Fusion Outfit – #RealBride Neha

    1. How did you meet your husband?

    – We met at the end of college before we graduated from the University of Texas at Austin.

    2. When and where was your wedding?

    Our wedding was at the Hilton Lakefront on Lake Ray Hubbard in Rockwall, TX (My Hometown)

    3. Why did you choose Silk Threads? Did you have something in mind before you came to us?

    I chose Silk Threads because I was looking for a fusion outfit for our Wedding Reception.  I wanted something different than my other traditional wedding outfits- an outfit that had a mix of my Western (American) and Indian background and my fashion style.  I preferred something a bit more vintage looking and had a certain look in mind.  I showed Ruby some pictures of what I was thinking of and the colors I liked and she created my dream wedding outfit.  It was romantic, vintage and an elegant combination of Western and Indian.

     4. Do you have any advice for our brides to be?

     Planning a 3-day Indian wedding can be very stressful, but try to enjoy as much of the planning process as you can because the actual wedding weekend comes and goes in a blink of an eye.  And that moment is truly the most magical weekend of your life.
