Bloggers have a unique way of inspiring us. One post with some skincare product in it, and they'll get us hooked on to it. But to persuade us to adopt certain wedding trends (that most of us have been dreaming of since our childhood), surely makes a mark of a good influencer. Here are a few bloggers who swept us off our feet with their grand Indian (and Western) weddings, and also created a few benchmarks for the best 5 days of our lives.
Each of these women come with different tastes and personalities, so regardless of your own baseline aesthetics, we are sure you will find inspiration ahead.

Aayushi Bangur
Aayushi Bangur, aka Styledrive, and Smaran Sahu tied the knot in the most extravagant way. Aayushi's vibrant personality showed in her trousseau and the decor, which was colourful. From flamboyant fuchsias, pretty pastels, to deep emeralds, she had them all. Check out the designers that she wore.

The gorgeous blogger had an Indian wedding with hints of European aesthetics, courtesy of her Dutch husband. By the looks of it, they had a stunning wedding.
