Barefoot on the Arabian Sea

Reconciling a minimalist creative vision with the scale and ceremony two large families expected — and doing it on an open beach where wind, tide and humidity conspire against florals, sound and fire.

We designed in sand, driftwood, pampas and raw linen, with a single hero colour — terracotta — drawn from the Goan earth. The mandap was a sculptural arc of unfinished wood; the reception unfolded at the tide line under three thousand suspended lights; dinner was a long communal table running toward the sunset.
