Krista and Ravi’s October wedding took place on a chilly, fall day, but the moodiness of the weather made for incredible photos! A string quartet performed music for the ceremony as well as cocktail hour. At one point during the ceremony, there was a gust of wind which made leaves fly around everywhere. It was such a cool moment. Also during the ceremony it startled drizzling and the best man was so quick to grab umbrellas for the bride and groom! Krista’s grandmother officiated the ceremony which was such a sweet touch.
They had a live wedding artist as well as a live wedding illustrator. Both were so talented and fun to watch. Guests were able to take home drawings of themselves which was a huge hit! The couple had their first dance outside on the terrace under the string lights for a magical moment. Later in the evening the wedding party performed surprise traditional Indian dances. A trend we have been seeing more recently and one that this couple included is having an audio guestbook for guests to leave them messages on. It is such a fun way to include memories from your guests and a cool activity for them during the reception.
Cheers to Krista and Ravi!
Check out this review from the bride as well:
“Krista and her team were a delight to work with. She not only coordinated the day-of my wedding but provided guidance and organization over a month before. It was such a relief to know that I had someone who would help make sure I had thought of "everything". Krista was incredibly professional, and the day-of my wedding went by effortlessly! Thank you, Krista!”
