Wedding Functions
Talking about the garish series of wedding functions, it was no less than a fairytale. From ceremonies that boasted vivid hues and power-packed days to every ceremony looking like no less than a gorgeous fashion exhibit, the wedding saw it all.
COCKTAIL
(Eat. Drink. Be Married)
The basic idea behind this was a fusion of Indian décor with a western black-tie event. The choice of venue was Tanatan because of its rustic décor and unique selection of food. The luxurious Maharaja Ambience gave the guests a glimpse into the richness of majestic India as they swayed to the tunes of Bollywood. The bride’s outfit was a bold black gown, supplemented with intricate gold embroidery and embellished with the traditional jewels by Golecha Jewellers while the groom wore a classy black Tuxedo from CEO Rules. The Cocktail event was definitely one of the many fulfilling and lavish nights.
MEHENDI

Post Cocktail Night was their Mehendi function at Kino Cottage, Juhu. While the ambience was set with classic stone adornments and brick walls, the décor resonated various elements of India like chakris, jhula, bandhani dupattas, matkas, bells, decorative umbrellas all complimented with the traditional genda phool. The location of the property by the beach and a splash of pink, green, and orange drapes further enhanced the event and added to the vibe. The bride’s look was curated keeping in mind the fun atmosphere. Floral ornaments were specially customized for this function by Neha Chokhani from Petal Craft.
SANGEET
(You start a dance party in my heart!)
Sangeet is an essential part of Indian weddings and theirs was no different. The choice of ITC Maratha Banquet Hall as the venue mirrored the grandeur of the event. The décor was beautifully created and conceptualized by Gurleen Puri to depict a fairytale winter wonderland through the use of exquisite floral settings and crystals that spread throughout the venue. The bride was dressed in a Blush Pink embellished ball gown which complimented the groom’s black velvet bandhgala with floral motifs.
HALDI
(You are the smile to my face)
Haldi traditionally has been a very close family function for them, but they wanted this one to be an experience for all. They didn’t leave any stone unturned where the décor ranged from kites stuck on the walls, a live sugar cane juice machine combined with an ice gola to a small stage set up along with a golden chair in the middle for the groom to sit. The vibe of the event was supposed to be flamboyant with a mix of DJ and Dholwalas. Adding to the success of the event was the power-packed flower shower with 165 Kgs of petals being used. With the hues of blues and yellow, the haldi ended with a bang.
WEDDING
(Two less fish in the sea)
Since both the bride and groom, have spent significant time outside India, they wanted the wedding to have a touch of white. The bride’s choice of outfit was the Ivory and Gold lehenga with chikankari embroidery and mukaish detailing by Tarun Tahiliani was perfect for the beach wedding.
The groom wore an ivory sherwani with intricate gold detailing that added to the royal evening.
The bride’s entry was choreographed by Tamanna Tanna from Satec Events. A simple yet elegant entry with all the bridesmaids leading the way with lotus diyas as the bride walked the aisle.
The couple stood against a beautiful backdrop of a floral ring made with white, pink, and peach flowers. After the reception, the pheras commenced with a couple in a desi avatar. Where the bride was dressed in a typical peach Punjabi suit and the groom in a traditional bandi and kurta. The pheras were conducted in a quintessential traditional manner and ended with a shower of rose petals.
As the bride and groom would rightly want to put it, theirs was a diverse wedding that echoed with different flavors and tastes of the Indian tradition. A series of beautiful and heavenly ceremonies that could ladder up to the best moments of their lives spent together, bringing them closer than ever and knotting them together with each other for an eternity.
The wedding was extraordinarily organized and impeccably executed. The manifestation of having a perfect wedding is typical to the Indian culture and having said that, the wedding was no less than the ultimate ‘Big Fat Indian Wedding’. It’s imperative that the wedding was made to be memorable for the bride and groom as it marks a significant beginning of a life together that could only be embarked upon with lots of positivity, love, and in their case, absolute elegance and grandeur.
