A wedding with a difference

Enhitched Wedding Design arose from the exposure we received following our own
Victorian Steampunk wedding. The way that we styled our wedding seemed to capEnhitched Wedding to transform
ture peoples’ imagination and there was a great deal of pressure for us Design
that vision into a business concern.
From the creator:
We have always loved textiles and beautifully tailored clothing, the Victorian era we
feel, epitomises both. The inspiration for the British Raj wedding theme, arose naturally enough, from the chance purchase of the sari the brides’ gown was made from.
The process of working out how to best showcase all its marvellous patterns, led to
research into life in the Raj.
As we learnt more, the concept grew and evolved into a complex fusion of Indian
and Victorian accents. With the assistance of some extremely creative suppliers and
collaborators, who enrolled whole heartedly in the process, the project took on a life
of its own.
Wanting to showcase British eccentricity, we chose our first location based on the
absurdity of taking England everywhere, much the same as the British did in India.
The bare hills of Rapid Bay were a perfect canvas for the opulence of our wedding
party. The second location was a no brainer, given the way the Bombay Bicycle
Club has been decorated with so many authentic imported elements.
