(Backdated to April 15, 2012)
The overall image of this mandap was to showcase colorful flowers, and lots of them! The four gold pillars were dressed with long swags of fresh flowers. I made each floral swag which were constructed with clusters of crysanthemus, carnations, alstroemeria, boronia heather, seeded eucalyptus and peacock feathers.
This was a small, intimate wedding with an Indian groom and American bride. Instead of using separate round tables, adjoining rectangular tables were used. This way, the guests (American and Indian) would all sit TOGETHER, symbolizing the joining of families and ethnic backgrounds.I imagined the table settings being colorful and exotic. Centered on the tables were colored glass vases and containers with all the same flowers and peacock feathers used on the mandap. An Indian motif fabric was photocopied and used as a placemat to add color and pattern for a completed look.
The bride and groom had a modest budget to work within. Instead of ordering their garlands, I made them with fugi mums.
