A Garden, Colorful Wedding

Cherry Blossom Weddings and Events had the privilege of coordinating another fabulous and colorful Indian Wedding. Married overlooking the outdoor garden of Meadowlark Botanical Gardens. Payal and Mayur said their “I dos” in special Indian fashion. Sticking to tradition, Mayur greeted the bride’s family by a riding a beautiful white horse. After guests took their seats, Mayur and Payal were blest by the priest. After the ceremony, guests were asked to come inside for toasts given by friends and family of the bride and groom, and partake in a lavish Indian buffet. We absolutely love the colors and details that Indian weddings allow. Payal and Mayur took full advantage of the vibrant colors that summer brings, such as reds and purples.  Beautiful custom made fans helped keep guests cool during the June outdoor ceremony. There were also the topiary place-card holders, the sweetest cake toppers, and their “guestbook” where guests asked to “leaf” their thumbprint. The cake table was decorated with fabulous family photos of past weddings. Their Indian culture was present throughout the ceremony and reception, and was beautiful to see how all the pieces came together.

Special thanks to Elizabeth Leibundguth for coordinating this fabulous day! Also thanks to KSD Photography for the beautiful photos!

Rea and Franklin’s Wedding: A Party of a Lifetime

Rea’s vision for her April 2012 wedding at Sequoia in DC was to be a complete “Party in a Box.” And what a party it was! The fabulous band, Sound Nation kept guests on the dance floor all night long. The dancing did not end until their special “sparkler send off,” overlooking the Georgetown Waterfront. From beginning to end, Rea & Franklin’s wedding decor included meaningful touches from their family & friends. Their Quilt Table Guest Book & peanut brittle favors were a nod to Rea’s Grandmother. Custom bridesmaid’s hangers & bags and a special “Mother-of-the-Bride bouquet tribute” noted those close to the couple. Rea & Franklin are wonderful match, complimenting each other in the best ways.
A great thank you to our coordinator, Alex Strawn, for organizing this amazing party. Also, thank you, Allison & Chris Britton Photography for capturing these wonderful memories.

A Celebration Full of Tradition and Culture

An Indian wedding celebration is filled with tradition and robust colors. Jaya & Viyas’s multi-day affair at the Mandarin Oriental this April was no exception. On Friday, the first of the two wedding ceremonies honored the Groom’s South Indian heritage. It was hard to believe that this extravagant ceremony was just the beginning to an amazing weekend.

 

Saturday was the main event. In classic manner, Viyas arrived on horseback and was greeted by the Jaya’s family at the hotel entrance signifying joining of their two families.  The Dhol player led the groom’s procession into the garden.  The weather was perfect and the gold covered mundap shimmered in the sunlight. The traditional ceremony was filled with love and laughter as the families blessed this amazing couple.

 

A special thanks to our coordinator Elizabeth Leibundguth for executing this special day. Also, a special thanks to Eli Turner Studios for the photos!
