Engagements are cause for celebration! While the parents of the bride usually host the first party for a newly engaged couple in American culture, Indian tradition dictates that the groom’s family host the engagement party as a way of welcoming the bride and her relatives into their new family. When Khush Aujla and Saumya Goel got engaged, the couple and the groom’s family chose a Bollywood theme with all the glitz and glamour of a major film production. Signature Occasions coordinated the elaborate affair.

From the towering centerpieces, white florals and gold accents, the design was dramatic and sophisticated, appropriate for an opening night in Bollywood.
Guests walked the red carpet down a hallway lined with lighted marquee “movie” posters, some featuring the happy couple!
