Hi There,
I’ve done a few “Indian” weddings before…well, the brides and bridal party wore sari’s….but that was about the extent of the “Indian culture” including in the wedding. This past Saturday, I did the most traditional Indian wedding I’ve ever done. The entire bridal party wore Indian attire, even the guys. The backdrop was a “mandap” …Indian alter. See picture below. In addition to the flowers attached to the pillars of the mandap, I also provided garlands of flowers (like Hawaiian lei’s) for the bride and groom (they are used during the ceremony), a bowl of flower heads (also used during the ceremony), lot’s of rose petals….used on the aisle, made into paisley’s, used on the mandap stage and thrown at the couple….see pictures below.
Gold and Burgundy themed Mandap
Rose petals were used to make paisley's which were the theme running throughout the wedding

Hi There,
My new site is up and running…please take a look at it. There are four videos available for viewing at this time. Two new videos get added each week. If you want to learn how to arrange flowers for your home, for gifts, for dinner parties, for themed events or “as seen in the media” visit my new site. This week, learn how to make the centerpiece seen on the Ellen DeGeneres Show yesterday, 5/12/10. It is all white mini calla lilies in a long, narrow vase. Super easy to do!
