Arun and Anita got married at The Marigold in Somerset, New Jersey, on September 17, 2023. The day started early, with family portraits under the huge crystal chandelier in the lobby.
Silk, garlands and the garden
Anita wore a bright orange silk saree and Arun wore traditional white. We took portraits of the two of them in the garden rotunda before they joined their families for the ceremony.
The ceremony under the mandap
The ceremony took place outside under a mandap draped in white and gold, with garlands, blessings from family and a lot of laughter. We stayed close and quiet so we could catch the rituals and the faces of everyone watching them.
An outfit change and a party
For the reception Anita changed into a blush pink lehenga and Arun into an ivory sherwani. We took portraits on the grand staircase and out by the floral arch, then headed inside for the cake and the first dance.
Planning a wedding at The Marigold?
The Marigold gives you a lot to work with: the chandelier, the staircase, the rotunda and the gardens. We like to map out the spots ahead of time so a full day still has room for portraits. If you’re getting married there, we’d love to hear about it.
