The wedding of Schweta and Chaitanya Pradham was just beautiful in every
way possible. It took place on March 24, 2024, and the colors of this wedding came flowing through the door the morning of, from the outfits to the decor it all pieced together to one perfect beautiful day. The wedding was a celebration between two amazing people, who were clearly madly in love, and those two carefully selected the perfect dream vendor team to bring their fusion wedding vision to life. From the day starting out early (and I mean 4:30am EARLY) with hair and makeup by the lovely Jasmin Thomas the details just continued on. Jasmin made sure to include every touch Schweta wanted and more to make her feel perfect for her special day. Decor and table settings began being placed out perfectly on each table by NuTrends Events knowing guests would arrive soon and each have a place to enjoy the celebration. The linens were a perfect baby pink creating a neutral but perfect look for the bride and groom to enjoy. The table numbers were put out for each guest to find the table they were assigned to. The music filled the venue by the amazing DJ, Juan Lopez who created a fun, upbeat atmosphere as the day went on. The caterer Himalayan Taj began setting up morning tea and snacks for guests to enjoy as they arrived, followed by a delicious Indian buffet with drinks and desserts.
Guests came from all over the world traveling long and far for these two special people to get married. Guests arrived and were able to take polaroid pictures and write special messages to the bride and groom to look back on for years to come. The guests loved the polaroid so much, that we had to make announcements to have it returned to the sign-in table several times. Ha! There was no lack of love on this day, friends, family and coworkers flooded the venue the entire day with laughter and conversation. Schweta and Chaitanya Pradham shared traditions, created new memories and confessed their
love for one another overlooking the perfect view they had at Waters Edge venue in El Lago, Texas.
Lots of tradition went into this very special wedding, from the music to the decoration touches- the amazing outfits too! All of this created such a unique, yet beautiful wedding. The ceremony started and Antarpaat (The Holy Curtain)- Muhurtam began and this was the first time our Bride and Groom saw one another. The friends passed out a sweet treat for the guests to enjoy during the ceremony. This detail turned out to be much more precise than we had expected. We were all anticipating coming and going of guests during the ceremony; however, the officiant was captivating. We had to make sure to fulfill Schweta and Chaitanya’s request all while not distracting guests during the ceremony. The bride's father gave her away to her new husband, Chaitanya. He passed on the important role of taking care of his beloved daughter, Schweta. Chaitanya Pradham gave Shweta a Holy necklace and put a dot of kumkum on her forehead which is celebrated as the Holy Thread. The marriage knot followed, which would join the two families together. Chaitanya Pradham’s sister was the one to tie a knot between the garments of the bride and the groom. The priest began the Sacred Fire which allowed the bride and groom to offer ghee to the fire, as well as walk around the fire. The seven
steps followed, each step the bride and groom cited a vow together. As the fire died down, worship with the goodness of wealth was recited. The bride and groom were showered with rose petals as they walked down the aisle which created a picture perfect moment. This was a detail that was very important to the Bride and Groom that they have gone a little over board with the amount of rose petals they brought. But, hey, are too many rose petals really ever a problem??

Throughout the day, Pure Plush Photography was doing videography, as well as, taking photos so the couple can remember this day for many years to come. Pure Plush Photography made sure to capture all the little details from Schweta getting ready first thing in the morning, to the set up of the table numbers and gifts for guests to take home all the way up to the ceremony and reception.
Instead of cake the bride and groom requested an Indian sweet with their dinner, as well as, Delicious mints to follow. Dinner was a traditional Indian Cuisine for all the guests to enjoy. The venue was filled, all day, with laughter and love. Waters Edge Venue alone is a great venue after adding in Shweta and Chaitanya Pradham’s decorations, family, friends it made for a perfect day looking out onto Clear Lake.

and Chaitanya Pradham’s wedding was not just a celebration, but a day where two people who were destined to be together, sealed the deal and said I do to forever.
