Manisha and Danan's cheerful springtime wedding took place at the gorgeous Bently Reserve in the heart of San Francisco in April 2008.
Manisha chose an orange & brown color scheme to match the décor of the venue, which bursted with splashes of color from the orange silk linens and smashing tulip centerpieces.
Manisha chose a luxurious shimmering orange cardstock for her ceremony program covers, and asked me to incorporate a lotus flower in her wedding stationery design. The lotus motif was repeated on the place cards, favors, and table name signs.
Instead of simply numbering the tables, Danan and Manisha had come up with street names that were meaningful to them, their family and friends, and their past both individually and as a couple. Each table name sign bore a description of the meaning behind the table's name — such a lovely personal touch, and a source of entertainment and reminiscence for Danan and Manisha's guests.
For their wedding favors, I created a collection of marble magnets, using the lotus flower motif and a line drawing of Hindu deity Ganesha in different combinations of brown, orange and white. The magnets were adhered to custom-wrapped squares of Scharffen Berger chocolate.
Manisha's wedding planner, Purvi Shah from
Avant Planners watched over every detail, and made sure the happy couple could enjoy their big day to the fullest.
...and clearly they did!
Congratulations, Manisha and Danan!
