Spring Indian Wedding at Lansdowne Resort

Over the past few years, spring in the Washington, DC area meant thunderstorms. This year is no exception. Although the wedding ceremony didn’t start until late afternoon, we had to decide early on wedding morning whether to have the ceremony on the outdoor terrace at Lansdowne Resort because setting up the stage and mandap structure required many hours of work. We made the right decision to have it indoors because sure enough, the skies opened up with torrential rain early afternoon. The mandap would have been ruined. Luckily, the rain stopped long enough for the baraat to take place and for part of the cocktail outdoors. The rain started again halfway through cocktail hour. Examples like this is why you should always have a backup plan for inclement weather if any part of your wedding takes place outdoors. All photos by Regeti’s

I loved the bridesmaids’ lehengas – the yellow top choli and the floral skirts were very unique.
