For the grand finale of Poonam + Chirag’s wedding extravaganza, let’s all take a moment to marvel in the four-tiered and multi-layered confection that was their cake. After being wowed by the rich reds and deep pinks of the couple’s lavish ceremony, I’m really liking the crisp, clean details (think bright whites, fresh greens and cool blues) of their reception. The white and green centerpieces from KH Florals are a sophisticated contrast to the fun green-and-white-themed candy bar while the icy blue mood light is wonderfully sleek and modern. Thank you again to Our Labor of Love and our very own Lara Casey for sharing their respective wedding-day genius. Could I start the weekend on a better note?
What was your most memorable moment about your wedding day? When Chirag tried to tie the mangal sutra (a black beaded necklace that the groom clasps on the bride’s neck to signify that they are now husband and wife), he couldn’t undo the clasp and spent a few minutes fumbling with it before he finally got it open.
Did you write your own vows? If so, what was your favorite phrase, verse or line? We had a traditional Hindu ceremony so didn’t exchange verbal vows. Instead, we took seven steps around a fire together, each signifying a vow.
What’s next for you as a couple? What are you looking forward to in the future? We are currently living in Houston but we plan to buy a house in Austin and settle down there in the near future. In the mean time, we’ve set a goal of jumping on a plane once a month and visiting somewhere new.
Congratulations, Poonam + Chirag! The SW girls send all their love and luck!
