It will be a weekend of celebration for our clients – a fantastic harmony of the groom’s Hindu tradition paired with the brides’ Christian background.  

After dual ceremony rehearsals, we start with a Mehndi celebration for the ladies, leading into the Garba, a welcome celebration with loads of action.  

Saturday [hair and make-up starts at 6:00am!] the festivities begin with the Baraat – a parade following the groom on horse down the blocked  off streets of LaSalle and Adams.  

A traditional Hindu ceremony follows with beautiful decor in rich jewel-toned hues.  

After another round of hair and make-up and a complete wardrobe change into gowns and tuxedos, [gone are the embellished sari’s] we will host a Christian Ceremony followed by quite possibly the coolest cocktail party ever and an evening of dinner and dancing.  

The weekend concludes with a celebratory brunch for hundreds, a time to rehash all of the gorgeous details of the special weekend.

The above inspiration board was something I created months ago to help guide the style of the western vision.  We’ve included some elements that are quite mod, paired with gorgeous metallic and pops of raspberry.

It will be one loooooong, dreamy weekend.  Looking forward to working with the JW Marriott, Bridgeport Art Center, Jesse of Event Creative, Jeremy and the Gang from Studio This Is and one hellofa Bliss team!
