Bijal & Rikin - August 2010

This August bank holiday saw the wedding of Bijal & Rikin. The wedding was a week long extavaganza starting with the religious ceremonies and registry, followed by a week packed full and exciting parties and other events, ending with an amazing Hindu Ceremony  and reception. I met Bijal over a year ago at one of the many wedding fayres that Dulce has attended and it was a couple of weeks after her engagement she asked Dulce to help her with the co-ordination of her wedding. With some amazing visions from the bride herself, we managed to create a spectacular event each time, whether it was the Sargam or the Reception.

The Sunday morning of the civil registry was a beautifully sunny one. Married at the stunning Prestwold Hall, Loughborough, Bijal looked a vision in her white wedding gown. After the civil marriage and photos, which were taken by Maz Mashru, guests were invited to the Bride's home where there was a reception lunch prepared by Indigo Catering.  With a Purple and lilac theme the photos just don't seem to do the marquee justice.

The guests were treated to a champagne reception and a four course Italian menu prepared by the skilled chefs at Indigo catering.

The next event was the Mehfil followed by the Mendhi night, once again at the brides home. The bride and family had chosen a 60's and 70's Bollywood themed evening with a twist.

With a much needed break on Friday, Saturday was the Hindu wedding cermony and Reception party held at the Hilton Metropole Hotel in Birmingham. Bijal's vision for her mandap design was clean, elegant and open so all the focus could be centred on the wedding ceremony.

With the Hindu wedding complete the party could now begin and with a 3 hour turn around time for the venue the heat was on to get everything prepared for the Reception in the evening. The theme was pink and sweet. There were alot of things to keep the guests entertained, with a sweet bar and truffle table, jazz band and a photobooth. The evening was a magical time where family and friends could enjoy the food prepared by Madhu's and music by A Cool Ensemble and Blitz Entertainment.

Dulce Designs wishes Bijal & Rikin all the best in their married life together-May it be filled with love and happiness. We were honoured that you choose Dulce to be your wedding planners.
