My First Traditional Indian Wedding

Thank you to Sunita and Anu for allowing me the honor of coordinating and doing the design for their traditional Indian Wedding on June 2nd at The Marriott Frontera in Round Rock, Texas.

This couple is so beautiful and  funny. Anu is the more analytic and practical of the two, while Sunita is just so funny and creative. They've been a joy to work with and I look forward to helping them.

The wedding guest count is around 350 to 400 people and starts early in the morning and ends late that evening. My design duties include, amongst other things, constructing and designing a traditional mandap (This is a temporary structure comprising of four posts and a canopy, decorated with flowers and garlands.)



The wedding will start with a traditional Baraat (The Groom's wedding procession) which usually includes family and friends dancing towards the ceremony venue with the Groom on a horse.
                                                      
                                                   

One of the sweetest and most thoughtful things that Sunita and Anu did for me is to have me measured for a Sari, which Sunita brought back from India after her recent visit. I'll get to wear that along with jewelry from India during the ceremony. 
What an honor to be included in their day of celebration!

A nifty addition to their wedding is their reception, which will have a University of Texas Longhorn theme, with napkins folded into longhorns at every place setting and a beautiful wedding cake with a UT Longhorn on it.
(Can ya' tell that this happy couple met and fell in love while attending the University of Texas in Austin?)
