The floral pattern we used for Jillian & Rahul's reception was also on the front of the DJ booth where the vines grew & flowers bloomed, creating a magical experience as guests entered.⁠

Anisha & Paul, taking it all in before their guests arrived. We brought a tropical feel to the Marigny Opera House for their Bunt and Irish wedding.⁠

One of our favorite details from Anisha & Paul's New Orleans wedding: mixed-pattern linens from Nuage Designs , layered with lush tropical florals — protea, anthurium, and palm fronds — inspired by the bride's roots in South India. Even the small styling touches, like a brass lantern and lotus candle holders tucked into the greenery, carried the theme through. Layering patterns like this takes a steady hand, but the payoff is a table that feels curated, not chaotic.⁠

Anisha & Paul's New Orleans wedding was a beautiful blend of Irish and Bunt traditions. Their ceremony included traditional Hindu elements, as shown here, alongside an Irish Hand Fasting with vow and ring exchanges. The four columns directly surrounding the ceremony stage were adorned with floral pieces to function as a modern mandap. Two cultures, one beautifully woven celebration.⁠

One of the celebrations of Rahul's Sindhi heritage included an Anand Karaj, a Sikh wedding ceremony. The Palki Sahib and Chandoa required exceptional planning to make sure they fit in the center of the room under the chandelier, as guests sat in the round. We also had to ensure guests were not seated higher than the Guru Granth Sahib Ji, the holy book, which was also elevated. Although most guests sat on the ground, we also provided chairs in the back for those needing them. All of the meticulous math paid off with a gorgeous setting that also made everyone feel comfortable.⁠

For Jillian & Rahul's wedding, Calfee Productions custom made these boxes for roaming cannoli servers provided by Carl Mack, with cannolis from Angelo Brocato's. We've had corporate clients use these also and it's always a huge hit with guests!⁠
