Tina and Pranay were living busy lives in the US and India. Having already booked the fabulous Chateau de la Bourlie as their venue, and unable to see it beforehand, they contacted us to help bring their three-day wedding celebration in France to fruition…. We only met in person the day before their wedding.

Family had travelled from across the globe for this special occasion and Tina and Pranay wanted three days of celebration reflecting three cultures: American, Indian and French.

The main colour scheme for the wedding weekend was to be pale pink and white.

The brief was for a casual pre-wedding picnic in the field, with lanterns and lighting garlands in the trees.

Guests were greeted from the coach and handed individual picnic boxes.

They dined sitting on picnic blankets laid out under the trees, with views over the surrounding countryside… and watched the sunset.

The Hindu ceremonies started at the chateau, including the Swagatam and Madhuperk, before the groom and bride, made their way to the Mandap that was set at the top of an avenue of trees.

The styling team created a stunning Mandap draped in white and decorated with white and pink roses.  This was set at the top of a white carpet aisle, lined with tall flower plinths and candelabra, whilst white drapes hung above.

Cocktails followed in the rose garden before a French wedding breakfast and dessert buffet was served in the main reception room, where the beautiful floral decoration was carried through from the gardens and paired with ambient candlelight and pink uplight to create an intimate and warm setting.

The wedding guests returned on the final day for a traditional Indian buffet provided by a local Indian caterer. The reception room was turned into a brightly-coloured dining room with ceiling lanterns and decorations from India.

Tina, Pranay and guests were entertained by family members performing traditional dance.

Congratulations Tina and Pranay
