Josh + Pooja are incredibly thoughtful individuals and that fact was truly evident in each personal touch that they built into their day. When we met to discuss final details for their wedding, I got more and more excited with each way they were personalizing their day. Siblings singing "As the Deer". (Little did Pooja know that Josh had secretly been practicing with them!) Josh's mom sang "The Lord's Prayer" as his dad played the piano. One of Josh's sisters read seven Bible verses as they walked around their freshly lit Unity Candle.
And the personal touches didn't stop with the ceremony! Josh + Pooja managed to surprise their guests with a special nod to their proposal story by having a caricature artist on site during cocktail hour. Josh made their adorable cake topper for their cake that was nestled amongst delicous doughnuts.
Any combination of the personal touches listed above, would have made for a special day. But there was more! There was a beautiful blending of cultural traditions. Pooja wore two different dresses and looked simply stunning in both of them! Josh made a grand entrance for his baraat. They exchanged flower garlands at the beginning of the ceremony. Petals were tossed as they walked down the aisle as Mr. + Mrs.
My eyes were sparkling the whole day as I soaked in all the bright colors that could be seen every direction you turned. And man oh man do these two and their friends + family know how to party!
