Big Fat Wedding Planners

Planning a wedding within your culture is more than choosing outfits, venues, and décor. It's navigating family expectations, honouring traditions that have been passed down for generations, and staying grounded through one of the biggest transitions of your life, all while managing logistics that most wedding planners were never built to handle.

The Big Fat Wedding Planner series is a collection of comprehensive, heartfelt guides created by Drishti Nanwani Tolani; a 2025 Indian bride who planned her own big fat wedding, featured in Indian Link and Desi Australia, and realised along the way that no planner on the market truly served her community. So she wrote one. Then another.

Each book in the series is community-specific. Not adapted from a generic template. Written from the inside, by a bride who has lived it, and knows that the details matter.

Every planner in the series includes:

• Clear explanations of community-specific wedding rituals and ceremonies

• Structured timelines and planning guides built for multi-day celebrations

• Budgeting, guest management, and delegation tools

• Vendor questions, comparison pages, and a curated directory

• Space to reflect, plan intentionally, and protect your wellbeing

Whether you're deep in your own culture or marrying into one, whether your family has a strong vision or you're navigating it largely on your own, this series meets you where you are.

This is not about planning the "perfect" wedding. It's about creating a wedding that reflects you — and beginning your marriage feeling supported, prepared, and present.
