The pair\u2019s 400-guest celebration, with its Indian and American influences (saris, mandap, cake balls, cocktails) was a feast not only for the palate, but for the eyes, thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/Professionals\/houston_wedding_flowers_florists\/darryl_co_flowers.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Darryl &amp; Co.<\/a>, who did up Bayou City Event Center in a swank wedding color scheme of black-and-white stripes with vibrant hot-pink and purple floral arrangements, gold accents and amber lighting. Just looking at Biyani Photography\u2019s photos makes us wish we were at this incredibly fun and gorgeous Houston wedding.
