Intro
UAE is famously known as Land Of Dreams. It boasts of its sheer opulence and luxury and when Punjabi Vibes meets the magnificence of UAE, the wedding is sure to be a head-turner. When we received this Destination Wedding of Kanika & Saurav in Ajman, UAE, we were bowled over by the beauty of it, it’s definitely worth stealing ideas from.
Meet Kanika and Saurav❤️
Kanika and Saurav were introduced by their families, but both of them weren’t keen on getting married at the time. They two started taking over Instagram, from there on over the course of two years, they met, went out together with friends, had a few trips together to know each other better. After spending good time knowing each other they both decide to get married.
They soon had their Roka and Sagan Ceremony in Delhi and for the wedding, UAE was their destination.
Roka /Engagement Ceremony
Roka/Engagement Ceremony at Roseate house Aerocity was a pastel floral themed function. The venue had a very romantic vibe, with soft hues, delicate lighting and plenty of florals. While Saurav looked dapper in a grey-white pantsuit with floral pink floral detailing. Kanika looked like a modern-day Disney princess in a pink gown with ruffed border by Barbie Karla dolled by the very talented MUA Swati Verma.
Sagan Ceremony
Sagan at Orana resorts and hotel New Delhi was all about glitter and glam. The entire space looked more like a night club with big led screens and sharp lights all around the venue. Kanika and Saurav made the starry night all the more glamorous with their Oh -So Glam looks and these pictures are a proof. Kanika looked all glam in a custom fit charcoal grey gown by Swati Narula and glammed up for the night by Leena Bhushan.
Why Sealing it in Ajman, UAE
Saurav and I always dreamt of having a wedding at the beach and Ajman was the place meant for us! Fairmont, Ajman was a beautiful beach facing property with all the apt designed venues for all the traditions and functions. Holding court along the prime beachfront address and enveloped by the pristine white sandy beaches and the turquoise waters of the Arabian Gulf, Fairmont Ajman offers the perfect backdrop for creating lifetime memories on your special day. Wedding in Dubai was like going on a vacation and getting married.
MEHENDI
Mehndi was both indoor and outdoor. Arabic themed indoor with sheesha, multihued drapes and around the pool, the drapes in subtle hues of pink, ivories and orange looked beyond beautiful. Arabic mehndi artists were hired for the Mehendi.
HALDI
Haldi theme was very colourful and cheerful with sea-facing views and everyone carrying colourful dupattas. On the Groom’s side, everyone wore yellow outfits and on the bride’s side everyone wore pink and all bridesmaids wore pink saree. Punjabis dancing their heart out on the dhol, kicking off the event was a sight to behold.
COCKTAIL
The cocktail theme was very modern westernized with golden yellow lights, crystal hangings, assorted flower decor, lanterns and Led screens in the grand ballroom.
WEDDING
The wedding was at the beach, as the desired with the rose gold theme. The decorations were quite subtle. Soft and sublime colours merged pretty well together giving an elegant and cohesive look to the wedding. The bride and groom wore colour-coordinated outfits in rosegold colour. Absolutely, love the pink mirror work lehenga by Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla, the off-shoulder blouse is a show stopper.
Advice to other brides to be
Start your wedding planning as early as possible so that you have sufficient time to make all the arrangements without any stress. Also, be selective with your guest list. I believe that wedding should be celebrated with close friends and family as you tend to enjoy more.
