Bonnie + Shahzad, An Uptown Houston Wedding

Bonnie & Shahzad’s wedding celebration was an unforgettable fusion of heritage and high fashion. The festivities began with a Mehndi celebration that was nothing short of a maximalist dream — with velvet seating, whimsical floral arches, animal print accents, and a custom-printed floral dance floor that mirrored the bold backdrop installations.

From witty food signage like “Bonnie Poori” to ornate Moroccan lanterns, every detail was layered with character and charm.

The wedding day, inspired by The New York Times’ feature on South Asian elegance at Bergdorf’s, unfolded as a formal black-tie gala for over 1,000 guests. Designed by @pint0bean and @prashe, the ballroom glowed with black velvet chandeliers, cascading white florals, custom black-and-gold foiled menus, and a six-tiered sculptural cake that anchored the evening in dramatic luxury. Live saxophone and tabla performances carried the crowd from elegance to euphoria.
