Another Wedding!
Last weekend was a loft in Manhattan, this weekend was a gymnasium in Iowa! Both were great fun..

Hanging light idea
For the tables.

our wedding logo, if you will,
drawn by my little sister. it's a mix tape, 'cause we combined our tracks in matrimony. or geeked out on music in the early '90s, take your pick. the canister itself is a soy candle, whipped up for us by the lovely sara of lillyqueen (found on etsy , a great source if you want to throw some business to a crafter instead of the WIC)..

Colors & Colors
*Explored* @ my sister's Dholki this past weekend. Dholki is part of wedding festivities, mostly on the girl's side, where the girls sing songs and dance and what not. The centerpiece of all this is a playing instrument called dholki (derived from dholak ). Some one from the crowd plays the Dholki/instrument while others sing along or dance etc. Usually this Dholki festivity would also be part of the Mehndi night (which is usually the night of the wedding)..
