Tara & Kenny
Tara & Kenny were such a great couple to work with! They were super busy, both in Med School in Miami. We loved helping them from start to finish and making their planning easy! Tara had two beautiful Saris that she changed into, and we are in LOVE with the ivory one she wore for the ceremony. It was beaded, lacy, and so beautiful! Her mom had it made in India for her. They had a sari for each bridesmaid as well. The Mandap - by Have a Seat Colorado - was a gorgeous 10x10 structure, draped with ivory velvet and sheers, tons of lovely floral, chairs with draping and beautiful ties, and a killer altar setup with gorgeous gold accents, a gorgeous antique Ganesh, and all of the incense, florals, oils, and smoke! The tall centerpieces accented the tall ceilings of the Donovan Pavilion. They did a mix of long tables and round ones, so they had variety in the room. Catering by design did a fabulous job of the food and Yours Truly Cupcake was awesome for the dessert bar!

A Blush & White Indian-Fusion Wedding at Donovan Pavilion in Vail
Tara and Kenny’s wedding at the Donovan Pavilion in Vail, Colorado was a breathtaking blend of timeless elegance and vibrant cultural fusion. Set against the natural beauty of the Rocky Mountains, their fall wedding combined soft romantic florals with rich traditions from both families, creating a celebration that was heartfelt, joyful, and beautifully personalized.
The ceremony took place beneath a custom floral mandap, constructed with warm wood and draped in layers of white and blush flowers—roses, hydrangea, ranunculus, and clouds of baby’s breath accented with soft greenery. The structure felt like a natural extension of the forest that surrounded them, creating a sacred, serene space where they exchanged vows in a traditional Hindu ceremony. The floral design was light and airy, softening the architecture while honoring the vibrant meaning behind each ritual.
Tara carried a bouquet of white roses, blush garden roses, and delicate ranunculus, wrapped in silk ribbon. Her look was timeless, ethereal, and the perfect match to Kenny’s neutral-toned attire. Guests were welcomed into a celebration that honored heritage with grace—from the sacred ceremony to the fusion-style reception that followed.
Inside the Donovan Pavilion, tables were dressed in ivory linen with soft blush accents. Centerpieces featured low floral arrangements in white and pastel tones, with candlelight scattered throughout. The overall ambiance felt like a warm embrace—romantic, elevated, and filled with intention.
One of the most memorable elements of the day? The incredible Indian-fusion catering by Seasoned. Guests were treated to a menu that fused bold South Asian flavors with fresh, Colorado ingredients—perfectly mirroring Tara and Kenny’s cultures and culinary tastes. From passed bites to a family-style dinner, the food was both a centerpiece and a conversation starter.
Every detail of this wedding was woven with meaning—from the flower choices to the ceremony rituals to the joyful dancing under the high timber ceilings of the pavilion. It was a celebration of connection: between families, cultures, and the breathtaking Colorado setting.
If you’re dreaming of a floral-forward wedding at Donovan Pavilion in Vail, with a mix of tradition and modern style, Tara and Kenny’s wedding is the perfect inspiration. At Zalea, we love designing weddings that celebrate heritage, color palettes, and mountain elegance all at once—and this Vail wedding was the kind we’ll never forget.
