Meet Ananta & Pranav

“We were introduced to each other by our parents. I was working in Bangalore and he has been living in Sydney.”-says the bride.

Our Proposal

“It wasn’t some Bollywood proposal but yeah since we met We found a lot of common topics to talk about but completely opposite opinions on each one of them. And we knew we never want to stop arguing with each other…
Although the official proposal happened when we were having tea on a hilltop restaurant in a small hill station named Barog. That was super Bollywood !!!”- says the bride.

“It had to be a winter wedding in a palace and that too in Shimla. So we knew we are getting married in Woodville Palace Shimla in December. Our wedding theme/colors blended well with a forest backdrop. Every ceremony Mehandi mama swagat, welcome of baraat, phere, vidai and vadhu Pravesh with geet sung by local women and lip-smacking food and people dancing to tip-tapping nati songs and pahadi group performances and Talwar dance in baraat were the highlights.”- says the bride.

“We included Typical North Indian dishes in the food menu with a pinch of pahadi colors in it. We chose our photographer lenscagedproduction because we knew we wanted to cover the traditional and cultural part of our ceremonies more importantly and they have expertise in it.”- says the bride.
