WESTERN/ITALIAN RECEPTION
The Hindu ceremony was followed with a western-style reception.
Puja changed into a trumpet-style gown with a strapless bodice,
accented at the waist with a beaded belt. An old-Hollywood coif
and vintage-looking jewellery and brooch added drama.
Joe chose a sophisticated, debonair look with a grey, three-piece
custom-tailored suit paired with white shirt and pale pink tie.
Puja and Joe had decided early on that their guests'
enjoyment was a priority for them, including fabulous food,
great music, and lots of fun for everyone.
The colours and feel from the sangeet and vibrant shades of
the Hindu ceremony were echoed throughout with pink, orange
and green colours for the reception. Elephant statues and other
décor elements underscored the east-meets-west theme.
A food truck was a mega-hit with guests after a great evening
of dancing and celebrating. Joe relates that fun snack treats from
around the globe, everything from vegetarian tacos, vegetarian
poutine to cheese empañadas, were "very, very good--and may
have been the hit of the evening!".
THE HONEYMOON
Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and Hawaii were on the itinerary for the
couple's extended honeymoon. The hustle and bustle of the
cities they visited in Japan was balanced by a visit to the
secluded island of Kauai in Hawaii, where they relaxed and
rejuvenated after the busy months of wedding planning.
