Everyone knows that I love weddings! I truly think that it's watching all the planning and details come together to create a unique event that makes them so exciting. Every wedding is different. With the infusion of culture, traditions, and personal style, every couple creates a day that truly represents themselves.
Culture plays a prominent role in many weddings. I recently had three brides inquire about my services for their large-scale Indian Weddings. I had to be honest and admit that this was not my area of expertise, but that I was more than happy to take on the challenge. :) However, with these recent inquires, I decided it was time to gain more knowledge in this area...and I definitely did!
As a member of the Association of Bridal Consultants, I was invited to attend an eye-opening seminar, "Indian Weddings 101." We have all seen the rich, warm colors and decor that create a dramatic backdrop to traditional Indian Weddings, however, there is so much more that goes into putting together such a magnificient event. With events such as the Pithi, Mehndi, and Garba all leading up to the actual wedding day and ceremony, marriage is truly a celebration. I am excited with all that I have learned about the Hindu, Muslim, and Sikh weddings. I am now filled with a wealth of knowledge and am eager to help create a luxurious wedding masterpiece that is rich with tradition and culture.
Here are a few photos from the event:
