Insane juxtaposition of fabric, paper, color and fonts

I don't know why, but I was browsin' & surfin' online for good, delicate stationary and then suddenly ended up trodding down the path of invitations. Well, nobody quite does invitations like we desis do, right?
I was so excited to scope some really cool wedding and non-wedding invitations that I actually noticed my little grins become huge smiles when I saw the insane juxtaposition of fabric (yes, fabrics are used a lot for invitations), paper, colors and fonts.

Umm, not that its important or relevant, but thought I would just share. You know, I didn't even get a chance to print invitations for my wedding. Yes, its true. The whole thing happened so quick that I didn't even get time to print the invitation card I used to day dream about. But, its all ok...no pain, darlings :) I guess that's why I am always on the look out for good invitations :)

Ok, moving on, I present to thee an invitation selection you'll enjoy:

How insanely cute is this yellow. The Om in the center can be replaced with anything

I love the deepness and richness of the color and the embossed 'palki' image in the center - truly elegant

2 very different takes on paisley - both of them very regal

Love the embossed paper on the above 2 cards - how unique!

The above 2 are lovely, elegant and truly one of a kind - good for invitations from the groom side!

Love em'! For more, you can visit Indianweddingcard.com!

Aha! Moment and the new personality

Styling is very important. Be it brand styling, product styling or even personal styling. While on my blogging expedition, I recently came across a shoot that seemed to have nailed everything - I mean the model was perfect, the location, the hair, makeup, photography - all colliding to make for an awesomely styled brand image. I couldn't help but share the following images with you because these will definitely blow you away, and will give you that kick to actually get up, open up your closet and dig out that tiered skirt even though its -2F outside :)

And, the Aha! moment of the evening (following up from my previous post):  In addition to sharing with you Banno Raani's awesome collection, personal knick-knacks of my life, and other important stuff (which, I currently do), I will now be leveraging this platform to share with you luxe and unique design, fashion, styling and other pretty things that I come across...hoping these things will make your heart flutter and eyes sparkle with wonder!! And this, my darlings, is the new element to the Banno Raani blog brand...venturing out and bringing to you more that the world of internet, design, fashion has to offer. Ahem, kinda' like taking my personal interests to the next level too :)

Ok, on to the images already...bohemian didn't look this pretty before. Very light and airy, the silhouttes' a lot more slimmer and this classy styling would be perfect for the coming summer (oh, summer, how far are you from now?)...

 

 

Hoping you guys are as excited as I am with adding this whole new personality to this blog..if there are any suggestions, etc please feel free to email.

Hugs!

New dimension

I am in the process of adding a new dimension to this blog. I'll be honest - I can't really pinpoint what that perfect dimension is yet, but soon darlings, soon. Am in the middle of sorting out things that I want to do - oh, my god, there is so much I can do - so instead of being all over the place and not being focused, I am taking my time to figure out what will be the perfect fit with this blog. It will be fun and interesting -  that I promise, so let's see where my search takes me!
Wish me luck : )

But, I leave you with this awesome ad from  Tanishq - a jewelry business from the house of Tatas...love the concept!
