February Winter Break and Delhi


February brought no snow, sunshine and travels from Boston to Delhi. The weather was mild every where and plenty of beautiful flowers were in bloom and for display in Delhi. The wedding season was on in full swing and limos are vying with horses in the Capital, decorated to the hilt. Couple of the hot spots that we were able to hit - the Blue Room at the Taj and the evergreen Delhi Gymkhana. The outdoor venue of the Blue Room is stunning with a neon blue pool reflected against that green lawns and palm trees, massive white candles every where to light up the darkness. Fireworks at a wedding on the premises lit up the winter night sky, adding more color in this very colorful country.


Scouring the markets of Delhi for silks, antique sari borders and new ideas, working with clients for fusion wedding dresses brought back to me the vital connection between east and west. Eastern craftsmanship, color and opulence combined with western precision, modern lines and technology. A winning world. We have a few interesting shows and events coming up. 


  • March 31st, catch us at the DeCordova Museum, at the LEF fundraiser. Shubrah.com designs will be auctioned during the evening.
  • April 1st we will be at the India New England Bridal show at the Ritz-Carlton in Boston. Hope to see you all there.
  • April 5th, we will be doing our fashion show at the Liberty Hotel in Boston. Be there and be Fashionably LATE.

Outdoor spaces are a wonderful place for weddings or for
catching up with old friends!


Delhi was in the midst of yet another wedding season!
That meant fireworks on the lawns by the pool!
The bride and groom had arrived at the hotel in a stretch limo covered in pink roses and white lilies! Only in India!


Outdoor spaces in Delhi take on an opulent and modern look. 
The Blue Room at the Delhi Taj is an indoor bar and an outdoor oasis! Wish all watering holes were like this!


If you still have not given someone flowers or chocolates for Valentines, here's another very thoughtful and healthy idea! Say it with fruits! A friend send me this basket for V-day and the guilt free snacking went on for a few days!

January and a new 2012!

Planning in these rocky times is akin to gazing into a crystal ball. Will it a better year, financially? Is the weather going to be less turbulent? Are you going to get promoted or find a new job? Will we all exercise more, eat more organic foods and feel healthier? Who will you vote for? What causes will inspire you the most? Are we all going to become more involved in our local communities, give back and do some good globally? We would like to thank all our supporters and friends in the past few years who have helped spread the word, shopped our sales and referred us to friends. We could not have survived in these rough economic times without your help, a big THANK YOU for all your generosity of spirit, time and money! Our goal this year is to spread the word to reach more clients and people who are interested in fusion and eco-friendly fashions. Help us reach more bridal clients who are looking for something unique and fusion, custom designed to their needs.

We are designing our Spring/Summer collection currently as well as a fusion wedding this summer. We are very excited to be part of this wedding as it is going to take place on one our favorite Boston area beaches. More later once the wedding is done and we have sketches and photos to upload.

November 2011- Sustainable Feasting and Responsible Gift giving!

We ended October with a snow storm this year. Halloween was postponed for the kids, our town went into an unheard of mode of no power, no heat and no internet in most homes! Trees, branches and debris was everywhere and still is in our yard. Given that the world economy is sputtering, political and economic instability rocks the globe and we are all looking to survive the year, what kind of gift giving will you be doing this year? For that matter, what kind of feasting? Might we suggest finding your local retailers, farms, vineyards and giving them your business? They will be very appreciative and in turn give back to the local community.



We have two shows lined up in the coming months.

Nov 17th- the Hastings School PTA Fundraiser- Holiday Marketplace.

Dec 8th- Lexington Education Foundation Multicultural Bazaar. This is an LEF fundraiser.

So do some guilt free shopping from our collection of wine bags, recycled plastic shopping bags and file folders, our organic cotton tees and silk scarves. Small but fabulous gifts that speak volumes about your responsible and sustainable shopping habits!

So call or email for a special appointment to come and try them on! We have free shipping the months of November and December, we like to make your life easy!

Happy holidays from Shubrah.com!
