Castle Hill Inn Wedding, Jessica and Deepak

Part 3, the wedding day! Yes, it rained. Fortunately, the ceremony was held outside between showers. The rain held up enough for us to get some photos at the Lighthouse. Jessica and Deepak selected the following vendors: Hair and makeup by Allison Barbara, Flowers by Semia, Henna by Manisha Hennacafe, Villa One Twenty, the band Cover to Cover, and just for fun Flip Book City. The talented Jaclyn L photographed the "guys", all the wonderful details and some nice moments. What a unique opportunity it was spending the wedding weekend with these two families.

Mehendi Preparation

Before the wedding day, the bride to be spends the day having her hands, wrists, palms and feet embellished with Henna tattoos. The reddish brown color represents the prosperity that a bride brings to her new family. Included in the design is a hidden inscription of the grooms name. Manisha, is a Henna/Mehndi artist who travels to various locations within New England. Her artistry is amazing to watch as she "free-hands" unique designs of Henna tattoos.The process takes about 4 to 5 hours to apply. The henna is left to dry overnight and removed the next day to reveal a gorgeous reddish brown tint.
