Disha Munshaw
Customizing Creativity INVITATION DESIGNER


“We got a request


from a couple to make


a wedding card with


a pop-up 3D musical


video. It meant creating


a mini-set within a


card. I wish my clients


knew that if they want


to do something out-of-


the-box, then we need


to plan in advance.”

Mitali Sahani
The Bombaykery BAKER


“We were catering for 800 guests at a
wedding and the spread included over
15 desserts. Thirty-six hours before the
D-day, I got a call from the bride saying the
groom’s family wasn’t comfortable with
desserts containing egg (that was 75 per
cent of them). I wish the client knew that
numerous man-hours are spent to ensure
every dessert looks and tastes the same,
especially when it is for over 800 guests,
and we had to start from scratch.”

Jennifer Mulchandani
Je Couturier FASHION DESIGNER
“A bride once requested us to
create a dress with the entire lining
printed with a collage of images of
herself and the groom. Though as
a rule, we always ask clients about any
special requests at the time of placing
their order but when has that stopped
them from adding more to their list
of wishes? I wish my brides would
stick to the rule and not make
demands post fi nalising a design.”

Sakshi Tuli
Tandoori Nights CATERER
“We’ve got many vague requests such as
a request for golgappas at a destination
wedding with ingredients from India,
on the day of the wedding. We wish
our clients knew that we do our best to
fulfi l all their requests. We do, however,
expect them to give us enough time
and an approximate number of guests
expected, to ensure that the wedding
is hassle-free with good food and
impeccable service.”

Ritesh Naik
Independent Professional
STYLIST AND MAKEUP ARTIST
“Brides want to look like Deepika
Padukone in Ramleela, become
‘fair’ or bring references from
foreign magazines. They don’t
realise that it can’t be done.
I wish these brides knew that
everyone has diff erent hair, skin
and face structure—I can brighten
your face and give it a glow,
but I can’t make you look like
Deepika Padukone.”
