This lovely couple live in London, but chose to hold their traditional wedding engagement session at the bride’s parent’s home near Manchester, followed by a wedding party for the women at Shahi-Qila restaurant . They have asked me not to show certain images online but have authorised these ones that show little details from their evening ceremony and ladies party a day later. They were very creative with their own ideas too, so it was great fun!
The hem of the bride's wedding dress is just visible above the bowl of water in which she places her feet during the ceremony
Three ladies hold a rug or cloth above the bride’s head during the ceremony while the priest stands discretely outside the door along with the other menfolk.
Colourful nuts, grains and pulses are on display
Decorative candles flank the bride during the traditional ceremony
Cardamon pods, henna and honey. The bride is offered a spoon of honey by the groom and has henna symbolically applied.
platters of middle-eastern food at private wedding ceremony
Middle-Eastern rice dish sprinkled with cashew nuts, almonds and raisons
gifts for the wedding guests
At last we catch a glimpse of the beautiful bride with the groom!
