Join us for a Sangeet that will heighten your senses, and transport you into an event where the bride is being celebrated by her family and everything is a celebration during an Indian wedding ~ down to the clothes.
Preeti Waas, Creative Director of Mehar Events, showcases her talent at this event by bringing out all of the elements necessary to produce a fun, interactive celebration that leaves out no detail, or anyone wanting for more.
Tesh Parekh, Owner of IWP Photography & Video and Tesh’s Fine Art, was chosen for the photography because Tesh is a leader in the Indian Wedding Photography market, in and around the Southeast. Tesh has been photographing Indian weddings and events since 1996. Tesh was born in India, and he understands all the cultural and religious aspects of these beautiful events! His artist flair comes through in the images that he captures throughout the event, details that can’t be recreated or moments that must be preserved.
The Stockroom at 230 is simply perfect for this size event. It has the charm of historic Raleigh and is in the center of downtown which breathes an electric air into the venue that brings an additional excitement level to your event. A blank canvas but not really, The Stockroom has exposed brick and wood floors, and offers a view onto Fayetteville Street. Your guests will be impressed with how any décor you choose will “pop” in this venue and the staff is amazing to work with! MollyAnne and Alexandria worked closely with Preeti to make sure that all elements were highlighted in this shoot ~ they were very hands on.
Poonam Henna Arts, owned by the beautiful Poonam, an expert in Henna, the art of temporary tattooing that has been around since antiquity, is our go-to for creating the bride and her attendants’ henna. Her work is straight from the heart and she loves to showcase the energy of the event through her art and enhances everyone’s experience by creating beautiful Henna Art for every guest that would like to experience it.
The food, prepared for this event by Zayka Indian Cuisine, is traditional Indian food for this type of event that the staff took great pride in serving. The food is a mix of vegetarian and meat dishes and there are the traditional naan, rice and chutneys to accompany the food. This food radiates off the plates and calls to the guests to come and enjoy while celebrating this wonderful event. The colors, flavors and aroma have taken on a life of their own and the taste…..it is exquisite.
No bridal party is completely ready without the help of a wonderful woman, by the name of Margo Codd-Williams. Her company is Belloviso, and her passion is making you as beautiful as you think you can be and then some. She wanted a very warm, romantic, and traditional look for this bridal party and in a matter of minutes had the whole party laughing and relaxing and feeling good about their hair and makeup – it really was effortless. She has a passion for this business and it truly can be seen at every angle.
To complete our event, we had Jeetu Singh play the traditional dhol for the party to help the mood get festive. What a talent this player has. He will make anyone get up and move with the music he plays. He has a wonderful smile and really enjoys seeing your guest come to life on the dance floor. He will play at any event, and you will love it!
So many beautiful photos were created for this event, so we will showcase on a few of them here on the blog, but you can see all of the photos from the event HERE
