Needing to know all the details, the couple did all the planning themselves with the welcome assistance of their vendors.

The sangeet manifested through vibrant hues like bright orange and fuchsia. The centerpiece included a three tiered tower with a Radha Krishna Murti at the top amidst lighted diyas and baby elephants at the bottom. The dandiyas displayed around the illuminated centerpiece and the Indian swing adorned with pink and orange drapery background captured the romance and passion between the couple and vibrated through to each of the 250 guests present.

The ceremony took place in the Westin Ballroom, which was bathed in vibrant and romantic hues of violet and shades of purple like lilac and gold. The hues extended to the mandap, including the dangling crystal balls in the front. Fresh florals and diamond laces at the mandap provided the right romantic touch completed by two chandeliers at its two sides.

Neal made quite the entry in a horse carriage accompanied by his sister, while Jaimini was led to the mandap by her uncle and brothers holding the red cloth over her head. With the romantic meaningful song of “Din Shagna Da Chadya” playing in the background, it made every single heart cave to the couple’s moment. Thankfully, Jaimini’s nightmare of an ill-prepared mandap or dressing hiccups never materialized. Post wedding, the festivity continued with the couple exiting in a Rolls Royce.

The reception stage transformed the wedding carriage in a white coach with two seats on the side. The ambiance of the room vibrated in violet and dark purple drapery adorned with two flower chandeliers in the middle of its center. The theme was extended to tables with gold tree centerpieces adorned with dangling crystal strings as well as white and purple fresh flowers. Illuminated vintage candle holders added the perfect romantic touch. Gems and orchids on the tables captured light creating the perfect romantic setting enthralling all. Billowing fog during the couple’s first dance, romantic songs, dancing guests, and fun photos taken at the photo booth with props made the wedding a dream come true for the couple.

It’s no wonder both Jaimini and Neal get a nostalgic and whimsical feeling along with smiles extending to their eyes at the mere mention of their wedding!
