i planned out everything a year in advance…the location, photographer/videographer, guest list, and food.
then you go for the theme, color palette, and decor designs.
Mine was classic ivory and gold…(although i started off with tonss of colors…but decided not to have a color splash …in the pictures…it ends up looking sloppy..imo)
My vendors were
Chicago & Dallas Party Rental, Event Planning, Wedding Flowers, Tents ------Dallas
they did my drapes for the stage area, furniture, carpet, chiavari chairs, lights,linen,napkins, entrance red carpet etc..
My venue was the Marriott in Irving, Texas. (they didnt provide the staging, or the chairs)
Food was by Haveli Restaurant (Irving, TX)
my mother oversaw the details of the menu and worked with the chef on some of the dishes that need a more personal kashmiri touch. 
I did my flowers…got them from world trade center in dallas…i chose ivory roses, orchids, hydrangeas, and calla lilies…I got a great deal as i was buying in bulk, the price cut usually starts for an order of >3000 roses or a combination of flowers.
I rented all my vases and other items from…
Fort Worth Wedding Planning/Coordinating-Decor-Rentals
The hotel provided the upgraded stemware, silverware, and dinnerware..
For the Mehndi…I ordered all the fresh flowers from Hawaii…tuberoses,roses, and loose orchids…again, the price cut for me was an order of >3000 loose flowers.
