Ardent nature lovers at heart – this couple tied the knot at a Vrindavan-themed wedding that also celebrated local art
Wedding Planning - Mar 28, 2023
Deriving inspiration from Indian art forms, nature and their love for Lord Krishna, Brihati and Akshay’s Telugu wedding looked like something out of a storybook. Designed by WeddingSutra Favorite – Aara Decor and Design, this wedding made heads turn with its creative flair and its showcase of Indian art forms.
Aparna Venkatesh & Saranya Gogineni from Aara Decor and Design share the couple’s vision and how they went around bringing it to life. They say, “Brihati and Akshay are devout followers of Lord Krishna and hence, they wanted their wedding to be connected to their beliefs. Plus, they also love greenery! Keeping this in mind, we came up with a Vrindavan theme that was in sync with their interests.”
Featuring different flora, fauna and art forms that are unique to India, the wedding looked something out of a folktale storybook. Consistency in detail was key as the team used a plethora of hues and elements to ensure the guests were transported to a different world the moment they stepped into the venue. Larger-than-life floral arrangements, mirror work pillars, vintage paintings, artistic peacocks and deers and garlands crafted out of traditional Indian blooms completed the decor.
For the structures, a cue was taken from the traditional temple architecture of India with ornate pillars and domed roofs. Plus, Pichwai cutouts featuring Lord Krishna and cows were strategically placed to tie back to the Vrindavan theme.
Weddings are the couple’s canvas to express themselves unhesitantly. In Brihati’s case, she used this opportunity to showcase her love for tigers. Aparna & Saranya share, “Our forte is our ability to customise a decor story keeping our clients’ preferences in mind. So, when Brihati let her love for tigers be known to us, we knew that we wanted to incorporate it into the wedding somehow! After fixing the theme we brainstormed on how to include tigers in the mix and came up with a pretty artistic solution. We got in touch with renowned artist Apindra Swain who hails from Puri, Odisha painted our papier-mâché tigers using the ‘pattachitra’ art form. As a result, these artistic creations fit right into the decor story and lent the venue a true forest-like ambience.”
