Flashback Friday-Nisha and Mainak-July 31, 2010

For today’s Flashback Friday we are going back to Nisha and Mainak’s July 2010 Wedding at the Lake Mary Marriott. From the moment that Nisha and Mainak began planning they knew that they wanted to be very different and unique. They wanted to make the mandap very different from a typical mandap and this was especially true because their good friend, Bella Patel, used the same mandap for her wedding the prior February.

For the Wedding Ceremony, we went for a very romantic feel, draping the roof of the mandap with gold satin fabric, handing crystals and candles with gorgeous arrangements of fresh floral consisting of orchids, lilies, roses, hydrangeas and gerbera daisies. The aisle featured various height vases with submersed orchids and rose petals. White spandex chair covers and gold chair ties from Got You Covered Linens.

Since Nisha and Mainak loved the mandap so much they decided to reuse it for the Reception. We transformed the look of the mandap with a lighting package that made the mandap glow with a beautiful magenta color. The paisley wall design, also included in the lighting package, added extra dimension to the room. The stunning estate tables consisted of lon, rectangular vases with crystals and floating candles and tall concave vases, lit from below, with a burst of fresh floral blue orchids and curly willow. The round guest tables had the same concave vases with asubmersed orchid and floating candle. The gold chargers helped to pull the look together.
