John and Rakeen’s wedding at the beautiful Whittemore Robbins House in Arlington was a celebration suffused with thoughtful details, meaningful family connection and of course, overwhelming joy for the happy couple!

​After a morning of hair and makeup by Kristen Ball and Ashley Christine, the bride and her bridesmaids enjoyed a little down time in the bridal suite of the Whittemore Robbins House.  When John and Rakeen snuck away for a private first look in the historic mirrored parlor, the entire bridal party rehearsed a special surprise for later in the evening!

​The day’s main festivities kicked off with a touching ceremony officiated by the couple’s close friend Rob as well as readings from the brothers of the bride and groom.  Rakeen, escorted down the aisle by her parents Abdul and Sayeeda to Mumford & Son’s Hopeless Wanderer, was radiant in her white sari and beaded earrings.  The vibrant contrast of the bridesmaids’ eye-catching teal saris, the groomsmen’s classic charcoal grey suits and the timeless bouquets of white roses, peonies and lisianthus from Brattle Square Florist was a real showstopper!
 
As the ceremony drew to a close, Rakeen and John were presented with lovely traditional flower garlands and sealed their commitment with a kiss to the resounding applause of their guests!

​Following the ceremony, guests were invited to enjoy delicious treats from Deja Blu and Rasoi as well as refreshing beverages from Cocktails on the grounds of the Whittemore Robbins House.  Just before the start of the reception, Rakeen snuck away for a dramatic wardrobe change!
 
Rakeen’s incredible attention to detail was evident in the thoughtful reception décor – guests were treated to beautiful tablescapes featuring scattered rose petals, tiny gold elephant frames that served as place cards, bold teal accents and custom menus! ​

Welcome toasts from both sets of parents had guests laughing and tearing up over tales of the bride’s first day of kindergarten and the groom’s early story-telling efforts (hoovering spiders!)!  The laughter and joy continued throughout the evening thanks to a touching toast from the maid of honor and a hysterical roast from the best man!  Rakeen and John were also treated to a special Bollywood-esque flash mob orchestrated by the bridal party - all that practice certainly paid off!  And thanks to the efforts of DJ John of CZone, the dancefloor was packed for the rest of the night!

John and Rakeen’s big day was a testament not only to their love for each other but to the love their friends and family have for them both.  We were honored to be a part of their celebration and hope their next adventure will be equally full of joy, laughter and hopefully, another Bollywood flash mob!
