​
Bee and Phil’s wedding story was a long time in the making. 
 
It began with Phil’s proposal in Positano, on the Amalfi Coast, in December of 2018.

This was followed by their engagement party at the Chandler Hill Vineyards in St. Louis in June of 2019. 

Their original wedding date was for October 2020. However, COVID changed those plans. 
 
So, our Jennifer Matteo Event Planning team could not have been happier for them when they were finally able to come together with family and friends in an incredible 3-day celebration!
 
Their spectacular wedding weekend began Thursday night with a traditional Sangeet.

This welcome party on the Ritz Carlton Lawn was filled with music, dance performances by family and friends, Mehendi, and incredible food stations.

It was amazing to see everyone come together to honor this sweet couple.
 
The second day began with ritual Mameru and Haldi ceremonies. The beautiful bride was presented with gifts of sweets, clothing, and jewelry.

This was followed by the bride and groom-to-be receiving purifying turmeric scrubs. 

After some time to change into their beautiful wedding attire, the couple had their first look and a photo session at The Ringling before their wedding ceremony. 
 
The wedding celebration began with Phil’s Baraat. His arrival in a Lamborghini was followed by a welcome by Bee’s family, the arrival of the bride, and their wedding ceremony on a spectacular mandap.

The mandap was the perfect blending of a new, modern structure with the elegnce of greenery, lush floral embellishments and a crystal chandelier with more traditional South  Asian symbolism.

The wedding ceremony was followed by Mocktails, Hors d’oeuvres, dinner, and more dancing.
 
Saturday was dedicated to a more western style wedding reception in the Ritz Carlton’s ballroom.

The evening began with the couple’s first dance, parent dances, special performances by the bridesmaids and groomsmen, and several toasts before dinner.
 
The entire weekend was a luxurious pairing of tradition and modern elegance.

​Each event had its own color story and design concept. The tablescapes, linens, lounge furnishings, and personal details reflected that evening’s events but blended seamlessly for an elegant three-day wedding.
