Welcome to episode 16 where we sit down with Poonam from The Maharani Diaries to talk all about South Asian weddings. She has a very interesting story and transformation from being a scientist turn wedding blogger. Her own struggles being an Indian bride is what catapulted her onto this path of now building an online community and directory for South Asian brides on themaharanidiaries.com .

It was a series of adventures she shared with her husband that took her from Melbourne to Ireland, then to London at the epicentre of huge South Asian weddings where she was able to explore the wedding industry there. When her husband landed his job in Sydney, she saw it as an opportunity to grow her market here and we are super lucky to have her.

Poonam shares all about the challenges South Asian brides have and how The Maharani Diaries aims to support brides in the process. We know the struggles all too well having dealt with many South Asian weddings ourselves and trying to strike the balance right between Western and Eastern cultures.

If you are planning on having a South Asian wedding, this is the perfect podcast for you to tune into as Poonam offers some invaluable insights. You can find her on her website themaharanidiaries.com, on Facebook The Maharani Diaries or Instagram @themaharanidiaries
