PHOTO SHOOT: The Great Gatsby with a Modern South Asian Twist

Inspiration: "The theme of the photo shoot focused on recreating a 'Great Gatsby' look with a modern Indian twist. We chose to highlight the Palmer House because it offers a luxurious atmosphere with a historical aspect that really spoke to our theme. We used traditional elements, like pearls and feathers, but also incorporated current trends, like gold sequin draping and minimalist table settings.

"We created three different looks to show how a bride can make any theme her own. Each look is very different from the others, but all still have the same overall aesthetic and work with the same kind of décor. The first look features a flowing red sari with a vintage-style, long sleeve blouse. The second look is fit for royalty, with beautiful, rich purple fabrics and gold accents. The third look is perfect for a bride who wants to look simple, yet elegant and graceful in stunning cobalt blue."
