Hot on the heels of S & J’s wedding, we had the pleasure of coordinating S & N’s special day at the same stunning Marine Room of the Westin Bayshore in Vancouver. It was an exceptionally busy few days for our team, but the experience was incredibly rewarding. This wedding held particular significance as it was Lucy’s first time working with an Indian couple, presenting a wonderful opportunity for learning and growth.

Embracing Tradition and Modernity

S & N hired us for wedding decorations and day-of coordination, and Lucy truly went above and beyond. She dedicated countless hours to researching and sourcing the perfect elements, far exceeding the hours initially planned. The goal was to blend modern, Western wedding decor with traditional Indian ceremony elements, creating a unique and harmonious aesthetic.

Creating the Perfect Setting

To achieve this fusion, we designed an open-concept mandap using a 10-foot circle arch, paired with traditional ceremony chairs. This setup, courtesy of Stylist Designs, was essential in capturing the essence of both cultures. We relied heavily on their expertise to ensure we had the right quantity and style of chairs, traditionally six: two for the couple and four for their parents. The collaboration with Stylist Designs was instrumental in bringing this vision to life.

An Intimate and Emotional Ceremony

S & N’s ceremony was a small, intimate affair focused on uniting two families. The emotional highlight was when the bride’s parents sang a heartfelt song in honor of their daughter, a beautiful moment that brought tears to many eyes.

Capturing the Memories

The day was beautifully documented by Cine Caves, capturing the love, joy, and cultural richness of S & N’s wedding. The photos will undoubtedly be cherished for years to come.
