The afternoon light in the courtyard was gorgeous; these stools are called "pidi" and are for the bride and groom.

When I say the afternoon courtyard light was gorgeous, I mean that it was cascading down the building's walls and bouncing softly all over the place.

Cardamom and coconut.

Richa is checking on one of several last-minute details before the wedding begins. I loved the orchids over the makeup table.

The mehndi from the day before set in nicely and went really well with Richa's outfit.

These are chuda bangles, and there are a million of them, and they tend to fit without much room to spare.
