A Lavish Bollywood Wedding Night Surprise

Every so often, you get the chance to be part of something very special and beautiful. That's how Monika and I felt being part of Salima Syerah Virani, CEO of MyBindi, and Steve’s wedding day. Salima and Steve planned out a beautiful intimate ceremony at their picturesque lakefront home in Burlington. The wedding ceremony took place on the terrace, with Salima walking out in her elegant white saree to Steve to the tune of “Desi Girl”, and Steve even broke out in some Bollywood moves! The wedding day represented a perfect combination of cultures, but Salima didn’t stop there; she wanted to surprise Steve with some Bollywood extravagance. She appointed Monika and me to a secret mission to transform their bedroom into a Bollywood oasis.

Much like the rest of the home, their bedroom was spacious and tastefully decorated. We decided to go with magenta and blue for the room, and focused on making the bedroom look elegant and lavish, including satin sheets, extravagant flower arrangements, crystal candle holders and other accessories, and rose petals. The bedroom was fit for royalty.

It was a challenge trying to keep the room closed off to most of the guests, and especially Steve! But we managed. Salima and Steve loved it, so much that they opened the doors for their closest friends and family to see for the rest of the evening.

Here's how the bedroom turned out.

I have to mention the adorable hand-carved elephants we used in the room to add to the Bollywood flavour.

The bed and beautiful decorative items we used to create a Bollywood inspired room.

We wish Salima and Steve the best for the future, and thank them for allowing us to be part of their intimate wedding day.
