We began working with this couple nearly a year ago, a garden belle from Louisiana meets a witty and romantic guy also from Louisiana. Although, that isn't where they met. They met right here in Austin in school at the University of Texas. They both helped plan this wonderful day from the beginning, there were cultures that were to be sewn together and Claire and Aman had intricate ideas as to how this would be done seamlessly.
And seamlessly it was. From start to finish, this day was like a dream. With all of the best handpicked professionals in place and a very organized Bride, Maid of Honor and Mother of the Bride, things were certain to go off without a hitch, or with one hitch actually.
The Official Hitch was made at the beautiful Rough Hollow Yacht Club. Set on Lake Travis in the midst of some of the most fabulous views!

One of my favorite designers, Amy at Merveille Events was in charge of all of the gorgeous flowers. For the ceremony the bride wanted light and airy garden colors, hydrangeas, hydrangeas, hydrangeas. You will see them throughout, but she asked for touches of green tropical leaves and ranunculus, as you will see it they turned out stunning. Purple was the color, but soft early and bold later....

I just thought these bridesmaid dresses were adorable...
Her hair flowers...
The Groom even had stylish flowers....
The ceremony was absolutely gorgeous, with the two cultures melding together perfectly...A string Quartet played in the background as she and her father walked down the aisle.
There were several things from the Indian culture included in the ceremony....
She wore a Henna Tattoo
The sacred fire was lit.
The guests were dressed according to tradition.
And wedding garland was draped around their neck as part of the ceremony.
The programs went with the theme...
Once the ceremony was over the guests threw rose petals as the Bride and Groom exited to a 1937 Cadillac....
Here are a few fantastic pictures...
After everything was wrapped up the Bride and Groom made their Grand Entrance to the reception, it was held in the Governor's Ballroom at Barton Creek Resort and Spa
Again, Mervielle brought the Bride and Groom's vision to life with the most vibrant and stunning room... Lighting was splashed on the walls by Illios Lighting, draping was hung by Strong Events. The room was absolutely gorgeous. Banana leaves were used as place mats and the couple's favorite salsa was given as favors...Check these out....
Sauce the Band rocked the room all night long! And this crowd was not afraid to boogie!!
Once it was all over and it was time to go, the guests sent them off to live happily ever after! We love you Aman and Claire, Love, Clearly Classy
