Nicole and Andre were married on August 16, 2014 at the bharti family chalet in Collingwood, Ontario. The couple wanted the wedding to reflect both of their personalities. Andre is rock n’ roll to his core, while Nicole loves everything over-the-top and glamorous, so they naturally decided on a “rock meets royalty” theme! They sought out imaginative, creative professionals to bring their out-of-the-box vision to life. “Neither of us wanted an ‘average wedding,’ so finding people who ‘got us’ was a big deal,” the couple shares. the feldman agency, owned by friends of the Bharti family, provided pre-wedding planning assistance, and Kim Miyama of kim miyama events was hired to provide partial planning and day-of execution. Nicole wore a mermaid-style gown by Israeli designer Oved Cohen. The lace bodice featured handmade flower appliqués along with crystal accents.
