Awesome Labor Day Weekend Wedding

Even a threat of rain couldn't dampen the spirits of Sukanya and Ryan as they prepared for their wedding day at the very cool American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore. Talented photographer Martha FitzSimon gathered the bride and groom and wedding party for lots of pre-ceremony photos as The Sculpture Barn was set-up with a gorgeous mandap created by Aradhana Luthra on a large stage by Bobby Dill of Event Dynamics.

The bride's wedding dresses (she wore two: one for the ceremony and one for the reception!) were stunning in vibrant color and luxurious fabric. Of course it helps when one is as beautiful and petite as this bride, to look fabulous. Her groom, also dressed in traditional Hindu wedding garb was escorted into the ceremony by dohl player Dave Gupta and later the bride and her bridesmaids entered to lovely music by classical guitarist David Greenberg.

Dozens and dozens of colorful silk pillows (made by the bride's mother) were placed throughout the ceremony seats as were lovely ceremony programs, paper fans, and packets of rice to toss at the newly married couple.

The wedding feast to follow was catered jointly by Linwood's Catering and Akbar Restaurant in order to offer guests a combination of both American and Indian cuisine. The dance floor was absolutely crazy and packed as DJ Amer played both traditional Indian and contemporary American songs.

The decor for the wedding was provided by Katie Martin of Elegance and Simplicity (flowers), Table Toppers (linens) and Select Event Rental (china, glassware and serving pieces).

Thankfully the rains didn't come until we were safely in the James Rouse Visionary Center when everyone was having such a good time that they didn't even notice the monsoon outside.

Congratulations Sukanya and Ryan. It was a pleasure to assist you with such a wonderful wedding.
