The ceremony took place on a stage, that was designed by our decorators. We sat on traditional Indian furniture in front of rust-colored organza drapery that was swagged with twinkling fairy lights.

The night before the wedding, we had a traditional "Mehndi"/Henna ceremony. This was the stage we sat on throughout the evening.

This is us at the Henna Night, the night before our wedding. My outfit was hand-made in Pakistan and my husband wore traditional clothing as well.

I love the stage for your henna night. We had separate seats for ours, but now I am thinking having it together would have been much easier!
