The journey of our Irish and Indian wedding continues. Day two starts with a Hindu ceremony in soft shades of ivory, peach, and a soft green in the beautiful ballroom at Gaylord Palms Resort in Orlando, FL., followed by a elegant garden-style reception.
A romantic garden gate covered in trailing leaf garlands with clusters of gentle flowers welcomed guests upon entering the ballroom.

The ceremony focused on a whimsical garden feel with natural, soft hues of blush and light pink throughout the drapery, floral hues, and accents. The reception took guests into a garden with rich, saturated tones of green threaded throughout the ballroom.
Lush, green ferns and trees sat on either side of an ivy-wrapped garden arbor gate, welcoming guests into the reception. As guests passed through the gates, they traveled through an dark green, forest-like tunnel, under the light shimmer of crystal chandeliers above.
