Meghana + Michael’s design vision was to transport guests into a moody, enchanted forest, where romance and nature seamlessly intertwined. Their celebration at the Fairmount Horticulture Center embraced the lush, woodland-inspired aesthetic they love, with abundant greenery, floral installations, a custom dance floor, and a stunning ceiling display that transformed the space. To bring depth and dimension, we introduced rich pops of mauves and purples, balancing the verdant backdrop with a bold and romantic palette. In a nod to their shared love of nature and thoughtful details, guests were treated to a custom succulent seating chart — both a guide and a gift. The music reflected their cultural fusion as well, with a mix of current pop and Bollywood beats keeping the dance floor full all night. From the heartfelt inclusion of Mike’s late mother’s engagement ring to the couple’s adorable puppy making his presence known in stories throughout the weekend, every element of the day was full of intention, warmth, and love. Their wedding was a true reflection of their journey, blending cultures, cities, and personal meaning into one unforgettable day.
