Modern-Minneapolis-Indian-Wedding-Calhoun-Beach-Club-36

Loree and Biren’s Calhoun Beach Club wedding was a modern take on a tradition Indian wedding. The couple wanted to portray both their American and Indian sides, and they also wanted their family and friends to get the very best taste of their home, Minneapolis. They enhanced the traditional Indian wedding colors of red, green, and gold with added magenta and grey hues in the decorations and outfits, and they planned an elegant modern reception after their traditional ceremony. Brandon Werth Photography captured every bit of the love from Loree  and Biren’s big day, beginning with a very sweet first look.

I wanted my personality to show through my wedding outfits. I designed my ceremony outfit to have an old rustic Indian look with an emphasis on cream with pops of color. I wanted to embrace my American side by having my reception saree completely white.

As tough as it is, you have to ENJOY wedding planning! Don’t sweat the small stuff as your wedding day will be perfect regardless of any additional planning and details to worry about. Figure out your core plan (including timing, design, and logistics) and the rest will fall into place perfectly.

We wanted a modern take on a traditional Indian wedding. It was really important to us to portray both our American and Indian sides. The first evening (Henna and cocktail party), we did a classic old school Indian feel with modern American rustic vibes. For the day of the wedding, we mixed a splash of a traditional Indian wedding ceremony with an elegant modern twist for the reception.

The most memorable part of our day was the moment we had some time alone after the ceremony. We were able to take in the day together and get excited for what was yet to come – the party bus and reception!

Traditional Indian wedding colors are red, green, and cream/gold. We decided to enhance the cream/gold colors and add a magenta hue to the red. Splashes of green are in my skirt, flowers, and throughout the wedding ceremony. For the reception, we turned to a more elegant feel of grey and silver for the wedding party.

The Calhoun Beach Club was the perfect venue for us. It has a touch of simplicity with the elegant feel we were looking for. We live in Minneapolis and really wanted to show our friends and family the beauty of this city.

Effortlessly Cool Destination Wedding in Sayulita, Mexico

May 24, 2016 | Junebug Weddings

Effortlessly-Cool-Destination-Wedding-Sayulita-Mexico-Jennifer-Moher (8 of 53)

Jade and Rob’s destination wedding in Sayulita, Mexico achieved the perfect balance between tropical greenery and effortless beachy vibes. Allowing the beauty of the landscape to serve as their backdrop, Jade and Rob said “I do” in an incredibly emotional ceremony on the beach. The couple’s daughters walked their mother down the aisle, and Rob couldn’t help but cry watching his family coming towards him. Jade chose an airy Evan Clayton dress with a low V-back, which made for some seriously stunning eye candy as the newlyweds strolled down the beach together.

We chose Sayulita purely out of fate. It ended up being the perfect balance of greenery and “beachy.”

As the bride I wanted a slight bohemian feel. My dress was custom and had the most beautiful flowy train with a low V dipped back. I had a body chain as a necklace, a gold arm band and midi rings to match my white and gold boho nails. My bridesmaids wore ‘Vivienne’ dresses in light grey from Artitzia. And the groomsmen wore grey pants and white dress shirts.
