It is a love story that begins at the top of the Ferris wheel and blossoms in the heart of St. Louis! Natasha & Jason’s wedding was an ode to their adventurous spirits, impeccable style, and the blending of their Sikh, Punjabi, and Parsi heritages. From the grand Piper Palm House to the luxurious Royal Sonesta Chase Park Plaza, every venue reflected the couple’s love for architecture and history, a stunning backdrop for this modern Indian fusion celebration.
Natasha looked ethereal in her monochrome red bridal lehenga, a masterpiece by Kynah and Mishru that blended the traditional elegance of a Parsi sari with the grandeur of a Sikh bridal look. Jason complimented her style perfectly in his classic black tuxedo—talk about couple goals! Sheana Marie Artistry worked her magic, creating a soft, glamorous look for the ceremony that transitioned into a dramatic flair for the reception. The couple’s walk down the aisle at Piper Palm House was a highlight moment—Jason’s beaming smile said it all!
With Big Bow Events at the helm for planning, floral, and décor, Natasha & Jason took a less-is-more approach that let the historic beauty of each venue shine. Their reception at The Chase Park Plaza was nothing short of a royal affair: shimmering tablescapes, gold-rimmed glassware, and a stunning floral palette that added a touch of romance. DJ Lakha kept the beats going while guests sipped cocktails from Colleen’s Cafe and devoured a fusion feast catered by Hollyberry Catering and Taj Palace.
The couple’s proposal story set the tone for their wedding weekend—Jason popped the question at the top of the Ferris wheel at Union Station, a nod to their shared love for Ferris wheels around the world! Their wedding itself was like a reunion, bringing together friends and family who hadn’t seen each other in years, filling the dance floor with laughter and endless moves.
Ray Prop Photography captured every precious moment of Natasha & Jason’s wedding with an artful blend of elegance and emotion. From the couple’s intimate first look to the joyous reception dances, each photograph reflected the vibrant energy and heartfelt connections of the day. His ability to document not just the big moments but also the quiet glances and laughter made their wedding story come alive.
One of the most heartwarming moments? Natasha walked down the aisle with her dad, surrounded by everyone who had shaped their lives—an image that will forever be etched in her memory. And if there’s one thing Natasha wants every bride to know, it’s this: “Don’t sweat the small stuff—let someone else handle it. Take a moment to soak it all in with your spouse because it goes by way too fast!”
Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
We got engaged at the top of the Ferris wheel at Union Station in St. Louis! It was perfect since it was just the two of us, and it had so much sentimental meaning. A number of years ago, one of our earliest trips together was in Chicago. We explored and ate all over, and also had an incredible time on the Ferris wheel at Navy Pier. Since then, we’ve continued that tradition of riding Ferris wheels on many of our travels all over the world!
Tell us how you went about planning your wedding, and your overall experience with the Venues, Hair & Makeup, Outfits, Decor Theme, and all of the other important details.
We wanted to celebrate St. Louis’ unique architecture and history. Each venue we selected for both the ceremonies (Piper Palm House in Tower Grover Park) and the reception (The Chase Park Plaza Hotel) was intentional to be able to stand on its own. From a decor standpoint, we went with a less-is-more approach to really just highlight and enhance the existing beauty of the venues and provide a serene and intimate atmosphere with a modern flair.
For hair and makeup, I wanted to maintain a soft glam look consistently but add more drama as the weekend went along up to the reception.
How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
I wanted to keep the traditional elements of a Parsi wedding sari and a Sikh bridal lengha, but still keep it contemporary. I’ve always loved the monochrome look and its quiet elegance, and that was my main inspiration.
What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
I felt like the wedding planning process brought both of our families together and gave us the opportunity to learn a lot more about each other’s culture and traditions between the Sikh, Punjabi, and Parsi ways of life. This laid a great foundation of mutual respect and celebration of both sides that I feel will lead to a great lifetime of learning and experiencing our cultures together in new ways!
What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
Since we have known each other for a long time, our wedding was a huge reunion of many of our guests who had not gotten a chance to see each other in many years. We also had an incredible DJ, so each event really felt like a fun celebration where everyone could let loose!
Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
The most special moment was walking down the aisle with my dad and seeing everyone dear to us throughout different phases of our lives all together under one roof. Truly a surreal moment that I’ll never forget.
Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
Upon the arrival of the wedding weekend, don’t sweat the small stuff - let someone else take care of it! And remember to give yourself moments to take it all in, alongside your spouse (it all goes by too fast) :).
Stunning venues, heartfelt moments – Natasha & Jason’s wedding was truly unforgettable.
