An airy light pink Indian fusion wedding in the Blue Ridge Mountains

Blue Ridge Mountain elopement

After meeting during undergrad, moving to Chicago, and welcoming their yellow lab Olive into the family, Anjali said yes when Ian proposed on a rooftop surrounded by candles, flowers, and string lights in late March of 2021. The couple ultimately said "I do" at their effortlessly glam Indian-fusion wedding at The Ridge in the Blue Ridge Mountains that included a 360-degree view of the mountain ranges of North Carolina, all captured on camera by Anastasiia Photography.

Soft neutrals and a palette of peach, gold, and mint were detailed in the wedding party’s traditional Indian attire, and with florals in ivory, blush, and lavender, Anjali’s bright pink lehenga by Jayanti Reddy made for a captivating contrast against the misty mountain feel.
