So, as promised, here's Post # 2 for Dave and Neera's traditional, sunset, American wedding reception at Deerpark at Biltmore Estate. More gorgeous pictures from the first post of their Hindu wedding ceremony here.
As I said in the last post, I absolutely loved working with Dave and Neera! They knew what they wanted and they were all about the details! Which of course, I love - and one of my favorite photographer duos, Geoff & Cheyenne Schultz were there to capture every beautiful moment. I need to give a shout-out to Blossoms at Biltmore Park for the beautiful floral design and Vinny with Splitsecond Sound for playing some rockin' tunes! I can't wait to post the link to their coverage on TLC's "Say Yes to the Dress" - We will definitely let you know when their episode is going to air!
The Biltmore Estate property is so gorgeous! This is one of the many shots that I love!
Neera's bridesmaids looked stunning (and were really fun people!) - They picked their own looked and owned it the rest of the night!
Loved the green ties!!
Neera was really into the details but wanted them executed in a simplistic way - she loved natural colors, candlelight and fabulous printed material.....
So, apparently Neera is a math whiz - Every escort card had a difficult math problem to solve to find your table! Love the idea, but not sure I can relate - if I was attending the wedding, I probably would have never made it from cocktail hour to my dinner seat - I did have master list and I had to "help" some people find their tables!
So, this may be my favorite idea of the wedding - During dinner each table created a fun team name and answered trivia questions about Neera and Dave (they met at trivia night at a local club so this was really appropriate!) and a friend gathered the responses and MC'ed an awesome segway from dinner to cake cutting and toasts - and by the way - I got 7 out of 10 right! I loved getting to know Neera and Dave and it showed!
So, the most creative idea of the night goes to the apple table numbers - to give the table number's height - we used forks inserted into the apples - it may sound odd, but it executed beautifully!
