Three days, two traditions and one lake: a Hindu ceremony at sunrise and a black-tie dinner on the water.
Priya and Daniel wanted both of their families to feel at home, which meant a Mehndi by the water, a Hindu ceremony at sunrise and a black-tie dinner to close the weekend.
Bringing two traditions together
We worked with a priest from Milan and a celebrant from London to shape a ceremony that moved between both families' customs. Marigold garlands framed the loggia, and the boats carrying guests arrived just as the music began.
“They understood our families better than we did.”
A weekend on the lake
Guests stayed across four villas, with water taxis on call and a printed guide for every room. On the final night, fireworks lit up the lake as the couple left by boat.
