Did you do any DIY Projects or create any handmade items for your wedding?

The bride’s brother made the sweetheart cake. It was such a touching detail!

What creative or personal aspects did you include in your wedding?

The couple wanted to honor Kunal’s Indian heritage by including things like the baraat, special Indian cuisine, and traditional Indian wedding outfits!

What was the biggest thing you did to save money?

Probably the venue. Even though it was the biggest money amount spent, the price included the wedding planner, tables, chairs, linens, glassware, flatware, centerpiece options, and the ceremony site. Without those inclusions, the couple would’ve spent much more on those options!

What was your biggest splurge?

The venue! Lionsgate’s grounds were so beautiful, and they included a wedding planner in-house! They were so easy to work with and streamlined the whole process.

What was your favorite details?

On the planning side, Emily and Kunal wanted to keep three priorities while planning: the DJ, the food (vegetarian & vegan options), and the alcohol. Everything came together perfectly!
