Garden wedding with florals so delicate they were put together day-of

neutral wedding with pops of color

Having met through mutual friends, Medha and Pranjal built a strong friendship that soon blossomed into a loving and authentic relationship. Although they come from traditional families, they knew they wanted a wedding that was more unique and suited to their personal styles. Most Indian weddings in Vancouver are large, extravagant, and colorful, but this one at Vandusen Botanical Gardens was intimate and relaxed, with a mainly neutral color palette that incorporated touches of bold colors, all captured by Kaoverri Silva Photography and planned with the help of Elle Weddings.

Contemporary + boho + stylish and bold

Elle Weddings sourced particular items that would fit Medha and Pranjal’s vision, from the natural-colored rattan wooden chairs to the exotic, lush floral arrangements, right down to the white fringed umbrellas, colored taper candles, custom signs, and stationery. They wanted a something that was a mix of contemporary, boho, stylish, refined, and bold, and boy did the couple and their vendors deliver.

Groom’s style: Subtle yet structured patterns

Pranjal wore a tailored black Indian suit that fit him like a charm. The top was embellished with subtle lace floral prints that added texture, while the high collar kept the entire suit structured.

Handmade florals… day of!

One of the most unique memories of the day was watching florist Écorce Flowers create the floral arrangements on site. Due to the delicate nature of the specific flowers, and to prevent damage during transport, every single floral was fully assembled on site.

Floral design to add dimension

The flowers were a mix of very long and tall to very short stems, adding dimension to the reception hall. The walls were covered in white draping to create a clean backdrop, and it brightened up the room the perfect amount.
