Reema & Jigar's Wedding Explosion!!!

There are really no words to describe Reema & Jigars wedding weekend.... All I can really say is WOW!! This event lasted three days down in Va Beach over Memorial Day weekend, and it really was a jaw dropping affair. The sari's came out on Friday for the Mendhi/Sangeet with pizazz & color. Reema & Jigar were stunning and truly set the tone for what was to come.

Saturday evening was an entertaining night of Garba and fun! Sunday morning we began with Barratt and proceeded into the Gardens of the Founders Inn for our lake side ceremony.
The evening started with cocktail hour and live Paneer & Tandoori chicken stations in the Moroccan inspired garden. That's where the party started and didn't end until 5:00 am!!!

Thanks to the amazing team that supported me in this tremendous undertaking. All of the pieces came together and it was because you all rocked. We had
Nashaa Productions spinning the jams, fantastic decor from Partyland Flowers & Decor, video by the highly accomplished Martin Andrews of Blue Sky Films, flawless makeup by Studio Sush and incredible lighting was provided by Blue Steel Lighting. Our Barratt would have been nothing without the gorgeous horse from Smithfield's. Thanks to the staff of the Mariners Museum, and the Founders Inn for being so accommodating. Quick shout out to AJ, Amanda, Kevin, Jim, Tina, Crystal, Kurt, Rahul, & Charlese at Founders!!! Delicious Indian cuisine was provided by Woodlands (Mendhi) and Nawab Catering (garba, brunch, cocktail & reception).Our cake was a 5 tier ivory fondant cake w/ blinged out bands from Lucy's Sweet Treats. A special thanks goes out to Bill and his staff from Distinctive Event Rentals, for making sure our white dance floor was in tip top shape! Finally, I have to thank, for my incredible photos, Agie Photography and the talented, show no mercy Keith Cephus who spent the last 2 days compiling one of the most engaging slide shows I have EVER seen!!!

A special thanks to my team- Lauren & Jen you were my rocks, especially with the place cards lol!!!

To Reema & Jigar, thanks again for allowing WB to take part for the last year in planning your Big Day :) IT was OVER the TOP!!!

Tyson Corner Ritz Carlton Tasting

On Thursday Jen & I had the pleasure of going to a tasting at the Ritz featuring their new Indian Chef Shivani Miglani, and the amazing works of Partyland Flowers & Decor!! The Maestro restaurant was transformed into a vibrant & welcoming mecca of excitement for all your senses. Chef Shivani also happens to be the chef for Tandoori Nights restaurants and he presented a tasty feast for all to enjoy.

It was great to get out and visit with old friends in the industry and to meet brand new ones as well.






Something else I have learned over the last week is that Working Brides is truly becoming the "top" Indian wedding planner in the DC area :) Yea for that!! We have heard the buzz around town (from other vendors that we refer our clients to) that we have more Indian weddings than other planners in the area for 2009. It looks like we are beating the competition to the punch for 2010 as well :) We are certainly excited to hear this cool news. We have really dedicated time to perfect an Indian wedding, and our modern yet knowledgeable twist has Wowed many an Auntie & Uncle, lol!!!

So to all of my Bollywood brides out there, looking for a vibrant and exciting 2010 wedding, give us a call 301-972-4223!

1st Wedding of the 2009 season

Last weeks 1st wedding of the season truly went well, and lets say it didn't quite start out that way. There were looming dark clouds and a ton of rain on the Friday morning of Pat & Rich's wedding, but the sky's opened just in time for pics :)











Thanks to my fabulous team of vendors the Bride, Groom, and their guests had a fantastic evening. This was a wedding that I didn't think would do to much dancing, but I was SOOO WRONG (yes I said I was wrong, whatever). This was a very small wedding, about 60 guests ranging from 4-70. Let me tell you the older folks were the most fun, vibrant, and truly entertaining group EVER. They were having a ball and were the first on the dance floor and the last to leave. DJ Evan couldn't play anything that they couldn't groove to, lol!! It was a blast :)

So thanks Pat & Rich for allowing Working Brides to be a part of your oh so special day!!

One last shout to the staff at the Annapolis Westin, you were great!!! Special thanks to Cathy Sandler, Larry the Concierge ( you left w/o that piece of cake) & Fazzie at the front desk (you were so accommodating), you all went above and beyond to make the event a success!!
