Read more about this stunning celebration from our bride:
William and I are total opposites. We're from different cultural, religious and political backgrounds. When we first started dating, we didn’t have much in common and there were lots of boundaries. It wouldn't be until much later we'd realize that love has no boundaries and our love for one another would trump all of our differences. We wanted our wedding to be a juxtaposition of two different backgrounds fusing together to create something beautiful.
For the ceremony, instead of traditional vows, William and I wrote 7 promises to each other representing the 7 traditional vows Indian grooms and brides make to each other. Our officiant, my cousin, also wrote four earnest wishes for our future, modeled after the 4 circles couples make around a sacred fire. Though I walked down the aisle in a Gatsby style Justin Alexander white dress with a gorgeous detailed back, I danced the night away in a royal blue lehnga accented with a hot pink chunni, or scarf, and beautiful traditional Indian jewelry. My wrists were adorned with dozens of magenta, royal blue and gold choodies, or bangles. The palms of my hands were embellished with intricate henna and my late father's name was written across my wrist in Hindi.
Our reception was beautiful. Our colors were blushes, mauves and gold. Indian weddings always have beautiful gold accents as well as a plethora of gold jewelry traditionally given to the bride on her wedding day. The tables were adorned with stunning garden-style centerpieces in terracotta vases from Bows and Arrows. My stunning bouquet of dahlia, hellebores, champagne roses, scabiosa, blushing bride, and memory lane roses were wrapped in Frou Frou Chic ribbon which was later displayed on our gold sequenced sweetheart table.
All of our vendors were absolutely wonderful because they were so helpful, but my absolute favorites were my photographer and wedding coordinator. Stephanie from Stephanie Brazzle Photography and Karli from Ivory and Vine Event Co. kept in great contact and helped make my vision come to life. I literally talked to Karli on a daily basis and she went above and beyond to help me with every detail. She answered all of my questions, and most importantly she reassured me whenever I needed it. I felt so incredibly lucky to have these two ladies by my side that day!
I did not think it was possible for two people from completely different upbringings, traditions and beliefs to forge a life together that somehow makes sense. To be able to get married exactly how we wanted was a dream come true.
