Ausra & Deepan- Aug 29, 2010

Definitely one of our most original interfaith couples, Deepan and Ausra got married at the end of August and had a picturesque wedding reception at the Marriott Hotel in Downtown Toronto.

When Deepan approached us about a year before his wedding, he had a big challenge ahead of him – his Lithuanian bride was in Miami and would barely be able to make it to Toronto before the wedding.  His Sri Lankan parents had a vision of their own and he was stuck in the middle.  Deepan was not our typical groom, he had attention to detail and once he had an idea, it was hard to reel him back in!  We started by suggesting some of our favourite vendors and got him great deals along the way.

Deepan and Ausra worked to create a video save the date and then showed the final part of the video at the reception, a great way to tie in what the guests had already been introduced to during the year.

We decided to go super traditional for the ceremony, sticking to all of the Sri Lankan customs and putting together a wedding ceremony just like Deepan’s parents had imagined.  Deepan wanted to go the complete opposite for the reception so we helped him put together a more contemporary vision, sourcing 3 different vendors for his final look.  The plan was to incorporate Lithuanian traditions, so we had a welcoming ceremony where the bride’s parents greeted the couple when the entered into the reception with a tray of bread and salt accompanied by an accordian player – very cool.
