Breathtaking floral

Here, the stunning floral from Mandy Scott Flowers. "The bride told us that the wedding ceremony was her favorite element of the entire event," Scott says. “It's hard for people to envision how all the decor--colors, flowers, drapery, lights and more--will go together, especially at a destination wedding. When she arrived at the ceremony, she was thrilled.”

Resort offers multiple event spaces

The couple chose the Meritage Resort "because the venue gave them the opportunity to offer an-inclusive weekend resort base for the families and their guests, and allowed them various venues within the resort to host their various events,” Scott explains.

Baraat procession

For the baraat--the traditional groom's procession--friends and family make their way up the hillside to the hilltop Vineyard Terrace. Baraat horse provided by Hackney Horse & Carriage. The bride's peacock doli was provided by Bazaar of India Imports.

Floral elephant

Mandy Scott Events used floral elephants at the beginning of the aisle. Scott and team transformed the on-site gazebo into a mandap using soft drapery and floral accents.
