With Houston\u2019s large, prominent, diverse Indian population, it\u2019s no surprise that Houston\u2019s Indian weddings are at the forefront of style and sophistication. <\/span>On April 15, top wedding pros gathered in the Foundation Room at House of Blues<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>downtown to show off the best and brightest (and I do mean brightest\u2014the color palette is absolutely spectacular) in Indian wedding trends for the coming season. <\/span>The event was the annual wedding trends luncheon, hosted by the Houston chapter of the National Association of Catering Executives, and it was a stunner. <\/span>Of course, the talent lineup was top-notch\u2014Darryl & Co<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong>, Events in Bloom<\/strong><\/a>, River Oaks Flower House<\/strong><\/a>, Susie\u2019s Cakes & Confections<\/strong><\/a>, Who Made the Cake<\/a><\/strong>, Edible Designs by Jessie<\/a><\/strong>, Sari Sapne, A&A Video<\/strong><\/a> and many more\u2014with Weddings in Houston publisher Radhika Day taking the stage as keynote speaker. \"wih-blogpost-3-pic-invite2\"

C0-chairs Summer Hutchens Colgin of For Your Memorie<\/strong><\/a>s <\/strong>and\u00a0Jim Gray of The Houstonian Hotel, Club & Spa<\/strong><\/a>, along with Juliana Wathen of Cosmo Cool Concepts<\/strong><\/a>, Jessica Choate of the Student Chapter of NACE and our very own Vik Da,y all helped make the event shine. <\/span>Attendees included 215 of Houston\u2019s finest wedding and event experts and the charming David Jones of D. Jones Photograph<\/strong>y<\/strong><\/a> and Mitch Daniels of MDI Video<\/strong><\/a> captured all the excitement for posterity. <\/span><\/p>\n

So what did our wedding gurus reveal? <\/span>I\u2019ll get to the goodies in a second, but first I want to point out a couple of things. First, there\u2019s no such thing as an Indian wedding, per se<\/em>. <\/span>India is a large country divided into numerous states and multiple faiths, each with its own specific customs, rituals and tastes. <\/span>Here in the U.S., these are often simplified and blended, as brides and grooms from different Indian (and non-Indian) backgrounds meet, fall in love and tie the knot. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Second, you don\u2019t have to be an Indian bride to admire\u2014and participate in\u2014these fabulous Indian wedding trends. <\/span>Indian color schemes, flowers, cake designs, food and cocktail recipes\u2014there\u2019s so much to love, you can\u2019t help but be inspired. <\/span>If you find something that captures your fancy, non-Indian bride, go for it. <\/span>Your wedding planner can help you incorporate just about any of these wonderful elements into your special day. <\/span><\/p>\n
