Niki and Jack’s Asian Wedding in Cobham Hall, Kent

As we clutch at the remnants of what has been our most amazing Asian wedding season and year to date, we feel it only right to share the beauty and happiness that was shared at the luxury wedding of social media influencer, Niki Mahon and Jack Bearsman. 

You may already follow Niki Mahon’s empowering luxury jewellery & homeware brand, Nikita By Niki and have watched how she renovated her beautiful home, whilst getting engaged to the man of her dreams… But we have the perfect visuals to share of her big day.

Despite her busy lifestyle, Niki had a clear vision of her dream wedding and spent the time crafting this with Rohita Pabla Weddings and Events to ensure every aspect was taken care of. We recreated Niki’s Indian wedding dreams with a rustic outdoor feel, in the stunning surroundings of the historic, Cobham Hall in Kent…

The perfect concept execution takes time and attention to detail. Our wedding planning with Niki and Jack commenced over a year ago after she reached out to understand the capabilities of our Asian planning services. As you can see, we did not disappoint, and we brought our A-game when it came to the finer textures and tones to really fulfil Niki’s ideas. 

The Process

  • Niki called Rohita Pabla Weddings and Events to enquire about our planning services for Asian weddings over a year before the wedding was due to take place.  And, can you believe it, we missed the call…​​​​
  • ​​​​​​​We called the number straight back and we spoke for nearly an hour talking and ideating. ​​​From that day we started the planning together with endless late-night calls and laughter. We did this for over a year until the day finally arrived. 
  • As a homeware designer herself, she knew exactly how she wanted her decor for the wedding to look and feel and it was our job to bring it to life.
  • We found and instructed the perfect suppliers for every aspect of the day including the décor and flowers, DJ and entertainment, printing suppliers, photographer and videographer, cake, cocktails and even a 360-video booth. 

The Result:

  • We created a rustic outdoor feel, using the stunning view from the clear span of the marquee, of the historic house at Cobham Hall in Kent. 
  • Niki & Jack’s head table was adorned with metal frames wrapped in deep floral tones with hints of light pinks and foliage .
  • An extravagant, unforgettable event that the bride, groom and their guests will dream about for years to come.​

By the sounds of the applauding testimonial we received, this was a real dream wedding come true moment for our Asian bride…

The Testimonial 

We had the most incredible reception imaginable. You made it so so special for us and have looked after me the whole time. It’s been a real journey together. You’ve seen sides of me no one should lol and have been so kind and lovely yet so professional and efficient with everything.

That marquee looked insane, and the vibe was just out of this world. Guests can’t believe it still and it was absolutely seamless.

Jack and I can’t thank you enough for just everything.

How I’m going to do life without you now, I don’t know!

Real Flower’s vs Artificial Flowers?

Real Flower’s vs Artificial Flowers?

So after last weeks blog about “Help… What flowers should I pick for my wedding?”  I’ve received many questions regarding flowers and whether you should pick real over artificial flowers. Obviously it’s down to personal choice, but nowdays its also down too the budget and not forgetting this is being stretched at every point possible.

So we’ve put together a helpful Pros and Cons list for you below! This should also help alongside our previous blog where we added in a helpful handy flower chart by season.

Pros- Real Flowers 

  • Wider choice- As long as your chosen flowers are in season you have a wider colour choice as sometimes in silk artificial flowers different colours can look too artificial.
  • Smell- That beautiful smell of flowers when you walk into a room… you can’t beat it!
  • Dream- It might have always been your dream to have fresh flowers… if so hell with the budget and do it! Your only going to get married once… right?
  • Colour- Colours are endless and can be mixed and match (have a read of the previous blog to see how colours can be mixed)

Cons-Real Flowers

  • Expense- Real flowers can be expense normally double the cost of silk flowers
  • Season- Your chosen flowers may not be in season when you plan to have your big day
  • Never forever- Real flowers are never forever, they will die after your event and also depending on when and where your wedding is taking place you need to maintain them
  • Hayfever/allergies sufferers- This could be a nightmare event for them!

Pros- Artificial Flowers 

  • Season- It doesn’t matter if your preferred flowers aren’t in season
  • Cost- If budget is an issue using artificial silk flowers can help maybe half your flower bill
  • Forever- If you are buying them yourself you can keep them forever
  • Silk flowers do not require constant watering on a hot summer’s day where real ones would threaten to wilt; and if you’re planning on marrying overseas, artificial flowers are all but weightless for those pesky luggage restrictions!
  • Cost Effective- You can re use them for another event which you may have on the day or day after
  • Hayfever/allergies sufferers- This is the perfect way to still have your flowers but not upset any guests

Blog 1

Cons-Artificial Flowers 

  • Colours- The artificial flowers can vary in different colour tones
  • Budget- Your wedding budget may be an issue, however do not buy cheap artificial flowers you will regret it, there are different levels of silk, so shop around
  • Fray- If they are cheap they can fray if they are moved around alot
  • Smell- That beautiful floral smell will be absent at your wedding

In need of help with decor concepts, design ideas for your wedding? Unsure of how to make your wedding different?

We offer a bespoke package to help you also.

Help… What flowers should I pick for my wedding?

Hello Brides To Be,

So it’s Chelsea Flower Show 2017, so what a perfect time to see the beautiful flowers the world has to offer for your big day. Held in the grounds of Royal Hospital Chelsea in Chelsea, London since 1912. It is known as one of the most famous landscape and flower garden shows in the UK and also in the world, attracting the public and famous celebrities from near and far. 

Many brides have the dilemma of which flowers to pick for their big day and many are attracted towards traditional roses in either white or red.  Now many people are starting to look at what else is out there as they want their weddings to be different, unique or just that one wedding that stands out. 

Making the nervous step’s towards something different can be abit scary, especially as people don’t tend to see the mix of different colours at an Indian Wedding, but many more people are breaking the mould.

Below we have collected some beautiful inspiration for you of how different flowers, colours and textures can work for your big day. We’ve also added in a handy flower chart by season to help.
