Indian Wedding Inspiration BoardBright vivid colors are a staple in a traditional Indian wedding and this inspiration board shows how you can mesh all those colors together to obtain a picture perfect day (or the traditional week for that matter). Beautiful and elegant are words often used to describe an Indian wedding, but understated is not a word that comes to mind for the function. The red and gold traditional color palette is often complimented by other hues such as orange, purple, yellow and more. The above photo montage is based on the Pantone color swatches in Claret, Sunrise, and Merlot. If you want to use ...

Gainesville Indian WeddingThere are not too many weddings throughout the year for us that are 5-Days long, and include ceremonies and events for each of those days, however, Haritha and Peter's wedding included so much more us than ceremonies, it became a friendship during the planning, and we shared our lives during the year plus, and frankly, I had the best time working with her and her family on her wedding, I'd do it over again in a heart beat.

An Intro To An Indian WeddingI’ve had the absolute privilege and fortune of doing some Indian events the last 12 months. Ever since, I’ve been telling my friends and family that you’ve never been to a wedding until an Indian wedding. The sheer scoop, the sheer pageantry, the colorful fabric, the kaleidoscope lighting and Bollywood music associated with most Indian weddings make it so incredible. Indian weddings, unlike most American weddings, last 2 to 3 days. The first day, a “Sangeet” or Mendhi. A “Sangeet” is an event in a Hindu or Sikh wedding culture. In which it takes place 2 or 3 days before the ...
