As a prelude to their wedding day, Svetha and Chase had a Mehendi party at the Driskill Hotel in Austin. This was such an experience for me, as I love everything about fashion and accessorizing, which is a big part of this event. The henna for Svetha was actually applied a couple of days before her wedding, but this party provided an opportunity for the guests to get a chance to join in on the fun as well as mingle and get to know both families. It was akin to a rehearsal dinner, but perhaps more boisterous...just the way I like it.
A big shout out goes to Mandap Creations in Houston for the event's insanely gorgeous decor. You can see more of their goods in the ceremony images. Also, coordinators Natalie and Sunnie of Kennedy Creative were fabulous to work with and you'll get to see more of their work tomorrow and the next day!!!

The details were beyond incredible. Sparkles were everywhere...just the way I like 'em!
Chitra, Svetha's mom, had such a gorgeous necklace. Jealous!
It's all about that bubble. Nigh Night!
Shoes are off; let the party begin!
Mom got these next two shots...LOVE them (and LOVE her!)
Break it down, sister!
Chase and Svetha look at her henna to find the hidden letters of Chase's name. How cool is Indian culture?! Love it.
Svetha's maid of honor, Ashley gets a henna design that is purported to protect the bride before and during her wedding. Find out tomorrow if it worked! ;-)
Don't forget to leave comments for Svetha + Chase! xoxo!
Incredible photos, extraordinary moments. Congrats all around!
