ShaadiChic: Anjali & Nitin- 5 days of a sensational wedding celebration!

To celebrate and kick-off the month of October we thought we'd post one of Spotlight Style's (www.spotlightstyle.com ) favorite October weddings! Anjali & Nitin were wed on October 25, 2008 (exactly a year ago from the ShaadiChic show!!!)....

The wedding consisted of almost a full week of events, starting off subtle and ending with a lavish memorable affair!

The mandap was larger than life, fit for a king and queen and guests were awed by its grand presence...

The lovely ladies who served as Anjali's bridesmaids watched as the couple drove away in a Bentley, headed to the wedding reception and celebration that they had envisioned and dreamed of for so long....

For this reception we tried something different - we though we'd shake things up with the seating arrangement and arrange the tables in X's & O's. There were long rectangular tables draped in lavender and gold shimmered tablecloths intertwined with traditional round tables and the guests absolutely loved it! It also created a really unique look in the room...

Another unique feature of the room was the projected pattern dancing across the walls. We recreated the pattern on the glass candle centerpieces that lit up the tables gobo stye! The lighting patterns dressed up the otherwise dark and dull walls. That paired with the spotlights on each 6 foot centerpiece (yes, I said 6 foot!) made the room glow and guests entered the room in pure Aww...

The lighting story doesn't end there - there were mini versions to accessorize the massive centerpieces, but the vases glowed from within...

Guests especially loved being greeted by an iced out Ganesh at the bar...

As this spectacular night drew to a close, it was time to bring out cake for desert, which keeping with the theme of the wedding reflected the originality of the couple. The cake topper was hand painted to match the bride & grooms reception attire!
