How exciting to witness an Indian wedding with all its elaborate celebrations.  Bear in mind, if you are part of the family you might need to take some vacation days because it can extend up to four or fivedays!   Indian wedding are filled with rituals,culture and symbolism.

Intricate henna patterns known as mehendi, dress the women’s hands and feet in an artistic fashion.  What a wonderful way to symbolize the bond between the bride and her husband to be.

Red being considered an auspicious color is commonly used in harmony with gold to honor the union of the couple.

We also see this color combination in the floral extracts used for the Tikka.  Marigold and hibiscus powders are created in richred and gold tones.  Flowers are a symbol of creation and regeneration.  They are considered pure and therefore are commonly used in offerings and celebrations. The color ofthe mandap follows suit.  It is traditionally dressed in red and gold.

Floral garlands hang from the mandap creating a fairytale space. To see more of our weddings visit our facebook page and pinterest.

Who can resist the classic red rose that’s texture resembles red velvet fabric, or an amazing deep red Calla lily with a throat that is almost black?

Whether it’s a simple cluster of red orchids or a hundred floating gerbera daisies red says it best.

This simple 4 tier cake has been brought to life with black magic roses, charlotte red roses, dark orange mokarra orchids & monarch butterflies.

Combining round and square cakes has created a modern feel.  The edges lined in simple black against bright yellow cymbidium orchids have married masculine and feminine.

Hoping for something helplessly romantic?  Pale pink roses simply placed, can give any cake a romantic feel.

Decorating your cake table to mimic your cake makes a small cake seem large.  The green orchids used throughout create a seamless display.

Don’t have a lot to spend? Try getting your hands on some Garden roses. The smell and look of a garden rose is unmatched.  It can reach all the senses with its beauty, and aroma. Luckily for our modern day brides the tradition of breaking a bread cake over the brides head has lost popularity! Let us eat it not wear it right ladies?

Whether a bride chooses refined, exotic, glamorous, or romantic, it most likely suits her well. It is good to always be true to what you love. Trends come and go, but a love for particular flowers will stand the test of time in your photo album. It’s not every day that a woman gets to carry a living work of art.

Your designer might not have a picture of something that you really like. If that is the case for you, take yourself to a garden or fabric shop and start picking out the things that draw you in. Some inspiration from a painting might help or perhaps a lovely piece of lace.

Nature is a great way to find interesting pairings and unexpected color combinations.

So brides if the suit fits by all means wear it!

Lovely garlands of amber and cream floral paired with Fresh olive leaf halos dressed Greek statues.

Using flowers such as Gold Mokarra can really bring an amber tone to an outdoor space. Coupling that with cream draping can make indoor intimacy with a fantastic star lit night sky.

Pedestals with Large flower balls and ivory drape created a dining room entrance in true Grecian style and as the night fell the floating floral scape lit up the water.

Brass candelabras and cream candles adorned the royal blue tables. What a glorious and romantic evening at this private estate in beautiful San Diego CA.

The Sofreh or in English “spread” was beautifully displayed on Shutters balcony in true high style. An ornate mirror traditionally takes center stage with the purpose of bringing light & brightness into the future of the couple. We used bright pinks, greens and purple to show off the brides love for vibrant colors. Flaky pastries and mini sandwiches ran along the edges for the guests to partake in.

Decorative eggs and nuts bring fertility to the newlyweds and golden honey to bring sweetness to the marriage.

The brides love for vibrant color made its way into the reception. We used hot pink, Lavender & eggplant flowers paired with Ivory candles and clear ornate vases to fill the reception tables.

Tall and short vases can make the room full and warm. Congratulations to our beautiful couple!
