Intimate Tamil Wedding In The US With A Beautifully Styled Bride!

BY Sakshi | 28 Sep, 2021 | 2854 views | 3 min read

There's something about an intimate wedding especially when the bride is simple, but looks elegant and beautiful. Real Bride Durga chose a contrasting green and midnight blue Kanjeevaram which was offbeat and classy, and we even liked her red saree look that was classic. While they had planned a wedding in India, it couldn't happen no thanks to the pandemic, but still ended up having a 150-guest wedding in the West Coast, US. This Tamil wedding was all about celebrating love and togetherness!

Reception 

 

From The Couple:

We were supposed to have a classic Tamil wedding in India. Unfortunately due to COVID, we had to cancel that wedding and keep it in the US. I am currently in graduate school at Stanford while Shankar is a lawyer in California, so we figured a West-Coast location close to family would be best. We ended up having a small, family only, 150-person wedding in the Scottsdale, near Shankar's hometown! We chose the Andaz Scottsdale Resort because it is one of the most scenic venues, and somehow we pulled off a fully traditional Tamil wedding with just one month of planning, in the US. We had a muhurtham and dinner, and look forward to having a big reception next year.

Vendor Reviews:

Venue: Andaz Scottsdale 

The Andaz was so accommodating for our last minute wedding. They are well versed in doing Indian weddings, and knew all about constructing mandaps and having indoor fires, which can be tough in the US. Their team was helpful, caring, and did everything they could to help us plan and work with vendors.

Hair and Makeup: Makiaj Beauty 

Makiaj was the best vendor I found with experience in Indian weddings. They did flawless hair and makeup, knew how to place all the jewelry and accessories, and brought so much fun and energy to the getting-ready process. I felt like a celebrity, and the hair/makeup stayed through 115 degree heat in front of the fire! 

Photography: The Shepards Photo

Review: We were initially nervous about finding a photographer in the US. The Shepards had not shot a Tamil wedding before, but from the moment we met we had instant trust. They delivered the most beautiful and emotion-capturing photos, and we could not have picked a better photographer! We loved their more natural style of photography, of capturing the candid moments.
