The dramatic double staircase at Glen Oaks

Haema and I met during when Heama and Paul were planning a microwedding at Como Park, and Haema just wanted some simple henna for their day! Six months later, they started planning a much bigger celebration and asked me to help them with a fresh and welcoming environment to celebrate with their family and friends.

They loved the look of marigolds, so that served as a theme throughout the wedding day, and we had a simple palette of orange, white, gold, and green.

We did not go with Mexican food! As travelers and foodies, Lorena and Corey debated between a few options - and we settled on some of their favorite Indian indulgences from India Spice House. We added some lightness to the heavier meal with salads from French Meadow, just down the street.

The final challenge was making sure the day went without a hitch. Now, we did end up having a last minute convenience store run, but overall had an amazing evening filled with laughter, love, and joy.
