One of our few Covid Weddings of 2020

/

Oh what a year 2020 was!
We went from an average of 50 weddings a year, to 3 weddings in the year. A lot of rescheduling, and a lot of double and triple booked weekends are ahead of us. We are so happy to celebrate and are eager to get started.

Taking breaks from masks, and elbowing people instead of hugging them… we truly treasured this wedding and all their celebrations. If there is one thing Covid taught us, it would be to enjoy the little moments. We see the sacrifice of families breaking the fear of covid, and instead covering themselves with love and laughter. There is no better peace than what the tightness of family can make you feel!

gah! Sunsets and pretty clouds!

She was like, how about I twirl? Loved her energy and her cuteness!

Romance at the Loews Hotel in Chicago

Things are heating up here at Le Cape. Serena + Kylash threw the house out of the window with their wonderful wedding reception. Not only it was beautiful, I could swear all their guests were at the dance floor for hours thanks to DJ Krush and his team. There is a reason why these images went viral…

Venue: Loews Hotel Chicago

Event Planner: Jankhana and Malvika Desai @JD Eventz

Horse: Maharaja Farms

Caterer: Gaylord

If people walked together, that would be a good thing...

Serena and Kylash have walked the best 4 days of their lives! Congratulations for finding each other in the midst of so many people. These two make love feel so easy… so real. We are in love to say the least!

The rest of their story is for another day… (sigh!)

Invited to a Sangeet for the first time?

/

If you ever get invited to a Hindu, Punjabi or a Gujurati wedding event, and you see the word “Sangeet” or “Garba” it means festival of music. It is by far our favorite day of our 4-day Indian weddings. In most Sangeets or Garbas, depending on their religious background (usually depends whether the couple is from the north or the south of India), couples perform in front of their guests, and their families put together quite the show for the night!

We start our Sangeet/Garba celebrations by taking a creative session with our bride & groom. This session was a thirty minute window before their program began. Monica is not only the most photogenic bride we’ve had all year round, but also had a contagious smile that warmed everyones hearts while working with her and her handsome groom.

To start the program, Monica and Pratik lit up a candle and had a religious ceremony at the altar. Then they danced around the altar. All guests were invited to do this challenging dance, even if they didn’t know the steps; while the expert crowds danced non-stop as the music and the difficulty of the dance continuously got faster and harder.
