take a bough

‘twas with glee that we exploited the fine interiors of our client, Nadia, and transformed the space into an arboretum of color and textural play for her engagement ceremony. we brought the outside inside, quite literally. we erected overhanging branches that sprouted from marble urns and meandered onto the walls to reach the high ceilings. we let creeping lianas twined and coiled themselves over the banisters of the staircase leading up to the second floor of the inner courtyard. upon this web of intertwining branches, we perched fresh blooms in multi-colored splendour. there were bunches of hydrangeas, stalks of orchids and bouquets of roses tied, tucked and pasted all over the intricate mesh.

moving on to the heart of the event, a beautiful stage was set by the renown Pak Abu where Nadia would be officially betrothed. here, we erected a floral arbor framing the stage backdrop and laid out floral bushes over the sides of the double-tiered stage, spilling onto the carpeted floor. we repeated the same exploits with colorful blooms splashed across the arbor and the bushes.

outside, we placed hints of the goings on inside with patches of like-colored and -textured center pieces displayed on each dinner table. we were truly overwhelmed by the experience and we hoped our client felt as enchanted as we were.

jai ho!

bold, beautiful, bollywood! these were the words that described the floral arrangements we created for our equally bold, beautiful & bollywood-worthy client, Shaline. the colors we picked for her flowers were inspired by the brilliance of spices and sarees: reds, magentas and oranges. the fabrics we picked were a balance of demure whites and striking reds, pinks and blues.

the centerpiece of the whole affair was the mandap that we decked with bulbous orbs of roses, orchids and chunky hydrangeas. fine curtains of stringed tuberoses scented the air around the mandap in blissful aroma.

tables were set with patterned overlays of red, cream and soft coral while the rose and orchid center pieces on the tables were accented with resplendent peacock feathers.

we erected two ganeshas and dressed them in red, purple, orange, yellow and green pompoms. we used white ping pongs to add details to the harnesses of the jumbos and hung tassels of purple orchids and yellow pompoms over their enormous green button pompom-encrusted ears.

white giant parasols added a touch of romance and sophistication to the event. to add elegance to these pieces, we dripped pink crystals all around the edges. when lit during the night, these canopies transformed the garden into a mythical playground.

words can't seem to describe the sights to behold. Suffice it to just let your eyes feast on these photos.
