Tina and Dhru - A Fabulous Indian Wedding in Coral Gables - Part 1

This is part 1 of 3 to this amazing Indian Wedding photographed by Alain Martinez. This action packed wedding weekend included, a Traditional Baraat Procession Complete with White Horse, Hindu Ceremony, Catholic Ceremony, and Over the Top Bollywood Style Reception. These photos are from the Baraat Procession and Hindu Ceremony, which took place at the Westin Colonnade in Coral Gables. We blocked off the street for the early morning Baraat where guests danced in traditional Indian attire as groom made his way to the ceremony. Tina, the bride was carried into the ceremony by 4 handlers on a doli and Tina and Dhru were married under a traditional Indian Mandap. I am so excited to see the remaining photos from the Catholic ceremony, where Tina wore a stunning Monique Lhuillier gown and the fantastic East meets West reception complete with plenty of bling, an impressive audio visual set up, and jaw dropping Bollywood performances. Stay tuned!

The Bride carried red anemones and the bridesmaids carried amaryllis

Remember I mentioned the bride and groom rode to the reception in style? Well this was there transportation, a black Maserati!

Michelle is a firefighter and Teddy is a police officer so their guests were indicated on the escort cards with vintage firetrucks and police cars

Jackie and Shannon - Australian Wedding in Miami!

Jackie and Shannon came all the way from Australia to get married at the beautiful Deering Estate at Cutler in Miami. This absolutely stunning couple were an absolute pleasure to work with! Jackie carried one of the most dramatic bouquets I have ever seen made of all phalenopsis orchids tied in an incredible cascade perfect for Jackie's exceptionally tall height. Cute and fun details such as petal cones, cocktail napkins, programs, place card envelopes, and a lemonade stand personalized the event in addition to a gourmet slider, french fry, and mac and cheese station. The tent was fully draped in white fabric and accented with both chandelier lighting and purple tone uplighting. The centerpieces were modern in cool with tropical leaves, white dendrobium orchids, and curly willow. The guests danced the night away to the sounds of Private Stock band. This was definitely a memorable event for guests from all over the world. These amazing photos were taken by Melissa Perez at Simply Captivating. Enjoy!
