Indian Fusion Wedding at the Austin Proper Hotel
When Rekha and Neville first toured the Austin Proper Hotel, they were immediately drawn to its stunning design, incredible cuisine, and renowned hospitality. They knew right away it would be the perfect setting for their Indian fusion wedding.
From the beginning, the couple prioritized creating a seamless and luxurious experience for their guests. With every wedding-weekend event hosted on-site at Austin Proper (including a welcome dinner, poolside party, ceremony, reception, and after-party), guests were able to fully relax and enjoy the their time without having to navigate between venues. Many stayed at the hotel and took full advantage of its amenities, soaking in everything downtown Austin has to offer. It created the perfect backdrop for this Indian fusion wedding weekend, that felt like both a celebration and a vacation.
Rekha spent the wedding morning getting ready in her suite alongside her bridal party and family. The suite provided the perfect environment for calm, connection, and plenty of joyful moments before the festivities began. It was important to her to be present throughout the weekend. Our team carefully curated the event timeline, ensuring she had meaningful time with loved ones every step of the way.
Neville kicked off the wedding day with a Baraat through downtown Austin. Fantasia Carriage carried the groom through the streets, with their guests dancing along the way!
Zoroastrian and Hindu Wedding Ceremony
In under an hour, Rekha and Neville seamlessly blended three traditions. They started with a shortened Hindu ceremony (featuring Kanyadan, Ganesh Puja, Mangal Sutra, and Saptapadi), a Zoroastrian blessing (Tandarosti), and a personal vow exchange. It required thoughtful coordination, resulting in a beautiful and heartfelt Indian fusion wedding ceremony that honored both families’ heritages. The custom ceremony programs guided guests through each ritual with care and clarity, an especially helpful element for those unfamiliar with all the cultural elements of an Indian fusion wedding.
The floral design, especially the mandap, was nothing short of spectacular. Flora Fetish created a structure that exceeded expectations and left everyone in awe. We focused on a light and airy green and white design, highlighting the wall to wall windows of the ballroom.
Bold and Colorful Reception
In contrast to the serene ceremony design, the couple wanted their reception decor to match the energy of the evening. We curated a bold and colorful reception space, featuring unique patterns, bright flowers, and statement signage.
One of the most memorable moments came during the reception, when friends and family surprised the couple with choreographed dances. It was a joyful, energetic celebration that brought the room to life. The dance floor stayed packed all night!
To round out the weekend, the couple reserved cabanas at the pool to unwind with guests in a casual setting. It was the perfect mix of celebration and relaxation—many guests described it as feeling like a mini-vacation.
Rekha and Neville’s wedding was the perfect example of how a luxury wedding weekend can be both elegant and personal, seamlessly blending tradition, culture, and modern hospitality in the heart of Austin.
