The Gown

Vimala had her heart set on a gown that would reflect the culture of Kerala, India, where brides typically wear ornate white and gold saris. She finally selected a satin organza strapless gown with gold embroidery from Demetrios' Young Sophisticates collection. For the reception, she changed into a traditional Indian sari in deep purple, embedded with Swarovski crystals. According to Kerala tradition, the garment, a gift from the groom's family, was blessed during the wedding ceremony.
