Showering Sisters {Event}

Two lovely, expectant sisters were showered with bangles, sweet treats and blessings in a traditional South Indian ceremony.  Adorned in exquisite dresses, Neelima Duncan and Vimala Ingram glowed as friends and family celebrated their incredible news.  With Vimala expecting a girl and Neelima a boy, the sisters chose to decorate with traditional pink and blue.  In lieu of pastels, the room was draped in bright jewel tones, beautifully blending with the Indian details. 

Neelima says, “During a Seemantham ceremony, the mother-to-be is adorned with bangles to help stimulate the baby’s development.  The sweet treats are placed in her lap to represent the arrival of a sweet bundle of joy.  All guests attending the event bless the mother and baby for a safe and healthy delivery.” 

“It was a wonderful event with thoughtful details that we will remember forever!” says Vimala. “We are so happy we were able to keep the traditional aspects of the Indian baby shower.  As with any occasion where we gather family and friends in one place, our favorite memories were made spending time with them.”
