Wedding Day
We all know what it feels like to have a wedding in the family, the excitement begins the moment the marriage is fixed. It’s a full house of excitement, ideas and madness and it truly is at its peak when the countdown begins. This Destination wedding in Udaipur made sure to keep the excitement and fun quotient elevated and airborne too.
Meet Ayushi & Ankit
Ankit and Ayushi met in B-School, while college romances are pretty much common, but this one isn’t a college romance. Ayushi had heard quite a lot about Ankit from her other friends and was quite intrigued as to know Who he really was, that had only amazing things to be heard of. She noticed him in the college night mess one day and they both happened to be seated for dinner on the same table the very night. It wasn’t that day they started talking, it was just one of those days when you sit beside someone for dinner at the mess. They started talking only after college was over. Ayushi says,” Ankit is an extreme extrovert. He is generally the vocal one in big groups but that day I could feel his eyes on me. I personally like to think he was hooked since then.”
Beginning Of The Epic Adventure
Ankit and Ayushi’s destination wedding in Udaipur was a dream that came into life. Ayushi’s trip to Udaipur with her friends got her fascinated to Udaipur it was like a dream for her. Somehow or we can call it destiny after looking out for different places and venues it was Udaipur that made it to the Ayushi and Ankit’s dream destination wedding spot.

The decor was kept very modern and regal with the majority of the focus on lighting! The minimal decor accentuated the already beautiful Shiv Niwas Lawns. Ankit and Ayush looked regal in a red and black ensemble by couturiers Sulakshana Monga & Gaurav Gupta respectively.
Mehendi

From Langa Troupe giving classical feel to new Bollywood songs to handmade juttis & potters, Mehendi was a beautiful cultural event. Ayushi wore a beautiful outfit in green, which was her mother’s wedding lehenga redesigned for Ayushi for Mehendi. A flashmob, by the groom side, took the bride side by surprise and Ayushi was floored when Ankit came out dancing to the tunes of Sajan Ji Ghar Aye.

Ayushi and Ankit looked every bit of Royalty dressed up in Rimple and Harpreet Narula outfits.
Looking at these beautiful wedding pictures we agree with Ayushi it’s a dream come true.P.S Ayushi bridal entry does remind us of Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma’s wedding in Italy and the wedding reminds us of Priyanka and Nick’s royal wedding in Jodhpur.
