Puri Nirwana sits right on the beach, inside tropical gardens, and Catherine and David designed around that. The ceremony, cocktails, beach portraits and dinner all happened within a few steps of each other.
Greenery instead of an arch
Rather than a floral structure, the couple stood in front of a wall of tropical foliage. White flowers lined the aisle and black chairs kept the setup simple.
Cocktails on the lawn, portraits on the black sand
An acoustic duo played while guests gathered on the lawn and at the bar. Catherine and David walked down to the black sand beach, just steps from the villa, for portraits.
Dinner under crystal chandeliers
Dinner was set beneath an arched structure with crystal chandeliers overhead. Long wooden tables came with low seating and floor cushions, white flowers, candles and black tableware. There was a grazing board for guests, and Catherine and David made their entrance with a saxophone player.
The white dance floor
After dinner, everyone moved onto the white dance floor for the first dance. The saxophone stayed in the middle of it, and the night finished with group photos under the warm string lights.
