"Jai Ho!!!!" At long last we are able to share our amazing Indian Wedding with you!!
When Yusavia first called me about her destination wedding in Cape Town, I was thrilled. Not only because it was another wedding to be planned, but because it was an Indian Wedding! I was in my element. Planning an Indian Wedding was on my bucket list of weddings to plan and I was thrilled! Although it wasn't a 3 day affair with 1000 guests, there was still more than enough effort put into the whole planning process as if they had had 1000 guests.
When I first met the couple on their trip to Cape Town, I though wow, what a beautiful young trendy couple they are. The just glowed from ear to ear and were amazing to work with.
There was no beating around the bush with this blue chip couple. They had an exact idea of what they wanted and it was only the best - we were thrilled to deliver.
We couldnt have asked for a more perfect wedding day 3 days before Christmas. With the chaos of service providers setting up 1 full day before the wedding to ensure perfection all round the weather delivered itself perfectly. The cultural wedding ceremony was set up on the lawns of the venue and was a beautiful sight to witness. What did intrigue me though, was the fact that the guests could just wander about, have a snack, have something to drink while the ceremony is on the go. Apparently this is quite normal due to the lengthy ceremony.
The guests were catered for in every way, from delightful canapes, to signature cocktails, caricature artists, photobooths, yummy treats and the list goes on.
All the guests were dressed to the T, the ladies looking gorgeous in their Sari's and the men dashing in their trendy suits and shades - it was as if Bollywood film starts had come to town. The bridal party looked stunning in their ombre sari's, but the 2 that stole the show were the bridal couple. Yusavia looked amazingly beautiful in her red wedding Sari and changed into her beautifully beaded turquoise outfit for the reception.
From the bright colours of the ceremony to the soft pastel of elegance and romance we transformed the venue into something beautiful.
The couple seated at the elegantly luxurious "sweetheart" table couldn't look happier - they were just too beautiful.
What a wedding, what a party!!!
Congratulations Yusavia & Shaun, we were honoured to be a part of your big day and to have shared these wonderful hours and moments with you guys. May that love and smiles that the two of your share remain with you forever
