Indian Ring Ceremony

Two Souls, Two Hearts, One Love

It's not difficult to stand mesmerized by the sheer vibrancy, love, and ritual of the Indian Ring Ceremony. From time to time we will be focusing the work of Lucia Belle Photography, a Richmond based photography team known for their diverse portfolio. These amazing photos were taken at the party for newly engaged Dhruvit and Jinita.

Like all other pre-wedding ceremonies, the Engagement Party signifies the matrimonial relationship that is sustained by religious faith and understanding. Indian matrimony means much more than just presentation, engagements, gifts and finery’s. The marriage unifies two families and two souls. The exchanging of the rings is just the beginning of one of the most important celebrations in India.

On the day of the Engagement Party, the priest blesses the couple so that they may lead a very peaceful and happy life. All the blessings are merged with an ardent well wish for one another as the couple exchanges rings, making each other an integral part of their life, and solemnly pledging to be united in both good and bad times. After the rings are exchanged all of the relatives and friends gather for the dinner party and dancing – Lots of Dancing!!

a party frock



With the scent of a birthday party in the air, Lucy immediately asked to wear her pink silk dress to the event. It's such a curse to handwash and press though (and having it drycleaned after every wear would be quite ludicrous), so I offered to make her a new party dress, one that would be better suited to the rigours of a child's birthday party. I made this offer the morning of the party. What a fool am I! I sketched during breakfast, Lucy picked the fabric and I drafted the pattern after breakfast (ah yes, there was no pattern), and then I sewed like nothing else when Audrey went down for her morning sleep. To make this structured linen dress a bit edgier, we added an exposed bright pink heavy duty zip.


Of course Audrey had to get a new top too (I am learning very fast the importance of keeping things even). It's in a Liberty print and lined in a sheer pink, silk-like linen.

Papyrus and Mexican Bark Paper Beach Wedding Invitations.
Invitation samples designed with papyrus and handmade Mexican bark paper. These are great materials that give a lot of texture and substance to designs. Both are very fibrous, but have very different characteristics. The papyrus takes on the look and feel of wood. The bark paper is softer and more like paper, but has an interesting surface and hand. Both materials come in a variety of colors.

The styles here are shown in a variety of shapes and incorporate other types of "standard" papers, hand-cut envelopes and interesting details to create one-of-a-kind invitiations.
