The Indian community is getting some love in Portland with the first multi-cultural wedding show. We were the to create the Indian show case.
We created a fresh approach to a old theme, Peacock. The non traditional Mandap was dressed in turquoise, white, tangerine and silver sparkle. We crowned the mandap with a 10 ft floral arrangement of white dendrobium orchids and peacock feathers.
Guest were seated in crisp white chair covers with turquoise satin sashes adorned with rhinestone belt buckles and peacock feathers. We draped the most fabulous peacock boa's along the isle to finish the look. If you are going to India to pick up some wonderful clothing for your wedding think about decorations too. They are less expensive. If you are working with me, lets chat before you leave.
We mixed it up for the reception using tangerine, orange and lime green. The menu cards were orange pok-a-dots with lime green ribbon. We carried the orange (and Oranges) Tangerine (and Tangerines) and pok-a-dot through out the entire reception for a cohesive design. Orange slices in the water glasses, whole tangerines in the floral vases and tulips spilling out from the top of the vase. This was a fun and youthful design. Not traditional, but alot of fun for the showcase.

FRESH IDEA: Customize the mandap color scheme to your personaility
BAD IDEA: Pipe and drape mandap
FRESH IDEA: Change the color scheme from the wedding to reception
BAD IDEA: Small centerpieces, the scale is wrong
FRESH IDEA: Lighting, lighting and more lighting
BAD IDEA: No lighting
INTERNET SURFING, MY FAVORITE MANDAP
Do I need to say more? I love the Keri Mango on the columns and the lighting falling from the ceiling. If you want to create something similar for you wedding, please give me a call at 503 449-2057. Otherwise I plan to hold on to this idea until my friend Nick gets married.

SUMMER EYE CANDY
We are revealing some of our all time favorite summer wedding themes. With the gorgeous weather and summertime as inspiration, it is impossible to not come up with a totally fresh idea that is familiar at the same time. Colorful flip flops, bridesmaids in chiffon saris, and some samba music round out this vibrant theme. Throw in a flavored mojito station and your guests will be dancing all night!
They can be made of metal, ceramic or flowers - elephants are always a good idea!
