Wedding Planning
We strongly believe every wedding is unique in a way of it’s own. This Palindrome Wedding in Pune, has its unique quotient a tad bit higher owing to unique personal customizations that the couple has incorporated; from their outfit , invite to the wedding décor. It’s a wedding that has been planned to the minutest of detailing.
Meet Hitali & Jay
Hitali & Jay went on from studying in the same school to being friends and eventually soulmates. There’s a love story that everyone dreams of. From 2006 to 2021 this 15 year long relationship has travelled numerous paths, Hitali and Jay met in 2006 during Navratri, the year when Jay started his college and Hitali was in her last year of school. Since their first meeting, Jay made it a point to meet Hitali once every day as he came to drop off his brother at school. Years passed by since then and they both pursued their individual careers and passions while maintaining their friendship. They both lifted each other up and chased their dreams together while making their own careers.
Hitali pursued medical and today is a successful surgeon and Jay went on to start his own venture as a textile merchant.
The Proposal
Being friends for a very long time and having settled in their own careers came a time when they decided to focus on personal life too. Jay decided to pop the question and took aboard both the families and they were more than happy to see Hitali and Jay together as soulmates.10-December -2019 they moved on from friends to fiancee.
The Palindrome Wedding
Those who have love and fondness for numbers show their love in all ways they can. Jay, the groom is fond of numbers hence their wedding date would be no simple and hence the Palindrome.
Palindromes are numbers and letters that spell the same front and back hence the date
12-2-21.
Jay and Hitali always liked the idea of an intimate wedding with only their loved ones in attendance. Covid-19 outbreak made way for their intimate wedding with all traditions and culture being followed also keeping in mind the safety and precautions for all the family.
They zeroed in on Corinthians, and Pune what fit the expectations was the huge area they had which allowed each event to take place at a different location within the venue itself.
The wedding was planned by Hitali herself, without any wedding planner on board.
“I love to myself plan everything and have it no other way.
We made Pinterest boards, searched on the internet for hours and then made our own presentation of the décor that we would like.
Then we met the different panels of decorators in Corinthians for the décor. So all the execution and booking were managed by Jay and all the ideas, themes and décor planned by me” Hitali
Every little detail for the wedding was customized and had a personal touch from wedding invite to outfits to Mehendi designs to choreography everything had been personalized. The wedding pictures are magical and we in an awe of the Reception Cake, it’s a fairytale
Wedding invite
We wanted to make a Save the Date Video that showed our journey from school.
No one could make it better than Yashashwi from Weddings by Graphé.
The journey from School Friends to graduates and then being professionals and now forever soulmates was best depicted in an acute and short 17 secs video.
Our wedding logo was animated having elements of our profession- an embroidery needle, a stethoscope in the shape of a heart with heartbeats and a flight travelling to the heart.
The wedding invite was planned after deciding on the decor and our wedding clothes.
We made a 3d animated video invite showing Corinthians resort and all the venues inside with the decor we would have at the wedding and the clothes we would wear for the wedding.
It was a dream invite.
We are really grateful to Weddings by Graphé because of whom we could actually see our wedding before it actually happened. We also made Instagram and Facebook wedding filters for all the functions.
The wedding pictures are proof that if you believe it you can make it happen. The impeccable planning and execution that Hitali & Jay undertook for their wedding have left us impressed. It’s stunning, to say the least, and does take a lot of effort, without a wedding planner in the picture.
Vibrant Haldi – A perfect blend of tradition and fun!
To the Rhythm of the Dhol, with the swag of Bhangra & Gidda, let’s paint the groom, the bride and the town yellow
Here comes the Couple
Let the madness begin
Whimsical Sangeet with Ring Ceremony – Fusion of Garba with Leds.
Silver bells are about to ring,
But before that lets dance and sing.
We like it the old school way.
Say “Jay Mataji” , Chill & Slay.
a fun-filled night of Sangeet & Ring Ceremony.
“JAYTAALI- Jya Jya Jay, Tya Tya Taali.”
The Palindrome Wedding
With a twinkle in your eyes, a swinging temple bell in your hands and joy in your hearts.
Let’s make the wedding pheras so divine that the virtuous and noble forces enter the heart and activate the seven healing chakras of our body to bless the new couple was our slogan.
Reception
The highlight of the Reception is the Grand Palace cake and the chariot, totally a grand Fairytale Come true. Hitali and Jay look no less than the Queen and King of a fairytale kingdom.
Planning your own wedding is the best part but executing might take a toll if rolls are not properly assigned .
Its always better to first discuss with your partner about each other likes and dislikes, make a note, prepare a budget, research on latest trends and also some old traditions which are lost , create a Pinterest board of all the events, discuss with decorators and photographers, be open to suggestions by all but do what u like the most as its the most important day of your life. Most important- divide and distribute the work. It is an amazing experience planning your own wedding and you will have memories for lifetime………..
