We went all out: Vintage doors and windows, fairy lights and drapes, A funky truck photo-booth, easel stands with caricatures of the couple on canvas prints, a push cart and vintage window -Selfie corner, pinwheels, origami birds, pom-pom mirror hangings, dry trees, Ferris wheel Centre pieces, floral runners with Jute Overlays, love ladder, vintage bottles et al.
Even for the bride’s entry we planned something unique. Instead of the “flower bed a.k.a ‘Phoolon Ki Chadar’” we gave her a beautiful and intricately made a canopy of gota, pom poms, origami birds and mirror hangings, which stole everyone’s attention.
"The family and us wanted the entire theme to be woven beautifully, in every small element associated with the Engagement. So it started with subtle hints being dropped through the simple yet lovely engagement card, which we designed for them. Faceless caricatures, origami birds and pinwheels along with a few of the theme colors; teal, orange, off-white and pink were introduced here, to create a buzz and theme recall later," says Ambika at A-Cube Project.
On the event day guests were pleased to see an abundance of pinwheels, that they could take back with them and strike a pose with at the photo booths. Also, at the entrance they could connect the dots when they saw the caricature boards with the same design of the card but with face detailing this time.
