Asian BridesFriday 31 January 2003
An asian bride
As South Asian music and fashion become part of mainstream British culture, it seems the trend for all things Asian has spilled over into the bridal market.

The Asian wedding industry in the UK is valued at over £300 million and on Sunday 8,000 people attended an Asian bridal show in London to see what it has to offer.
Anjna Raheja, organiser of the Asian Bride Show and Rachel Dwyer, an anthropologist join Martha to discuss whether traditional Asian weddings are making a comeback or have they always been the first choice for British Asians?
