Influenced by the aesthetics of Chettinad, this couple’s wedding ceremony was earthy and majestic
Wedding Planning - Jun 5, 2023
Orchestrated with a plethora of unique themes and colour schemes, Ankush and Tvisha’s wedding was an ode to tradition with a dash of sleek modern accents. Planned and decorated by WeddingSutra Favorite – The Wedding Experience, this wedding was a warm celebration of love.
Wedding Planning
Planning and decorating a series of events that are unique is not a small feat. Rising up to the occasion was The Wedding Experience who with their skills and contacts aptly guided the couple as they took the plunge. Blending seamlessly with the beauty of the venue while retaining a character of its own, the festivities exuded a warmth that made everyone comfortable.
Wedding Functions
Mehndi
Swathed in deep scarlet hues and decorated with tropical banana flowers, the mehndi looked dreamy under the starlit sky. With rustic arches, vintage bulbs and candelabras the setup resembled a luxurious enchanted garden.
Sundowner
Charannya Seetharaman from The Wedding Experience shares, “A relaxing and cozy ambience is what we went for with the sundowner and that was achieved with pink, blue, and purple florals. White furniture, string lights, and finally, some wicker baskets added character and a rustic touch to the whole ambience. The event was about bringing people together to sit down and enjoy. Therefore, the long tables were preferred with the table runner consisting of gorgeous flowers and candles to keep the setting very pleasing. The trees were utilized to hang props and unify the look and theme.”
Haldi
Charannya shares “When we first laid our eyes on the magnificent tree, we knew it had to be the focal point for our haldi. Being a day event on the lawn, the colour scheme had to enhance the existing ambience which is why we picked pink and white with gold accents which worked well with green. The tree was decked up with garlands of white flowers along with pink flower bunches at the bottom at varying heights. The grass beneath the tree was covered in a sea of rose petals to highlight the event area and add a nice pop of colour to the photos as well. The luxe element of gold was brought through the use of brass props like urlis and other vessels along with the seating for the bride and groom.”
Varapooja
Charannya shares, “We curated a unique theme and backdrop for the event of varapooja inspired by the Chola charm. The backdrop was an amalgamation of all things Tanjore like brass antiques, Konrad silks, intricate wooden frames, and the amazing Tanjore paintings. It felt like a modern revival of cherished heritage. For the props on the stage, we added kuthuvilakku, an antique wooden table with some brass props to add to the beauty and elegance. The colour scheme chosen was reddish pink as the dominant with green as the recessive and gold and white as the accents to truly bring out the essence of the Cholas and Tanjore.”
Wedding
Charannya shares, “Our favourite of all, the wedding was an outdoor event. The colour scheme reflected the hues of the sunset with earthy tones used as maximal accents. The entrance featured Chettinad pillars with elegant brass props. The statement piece of the entrance however had to be the brass nandi. The walkway had marigold rangolis and the tree had floral garlands to add to its beauty. The partially see-through mandap with a Chettinad door in the middle with a garland shower on its ceiling was a sight to behold. The see-through panels on the sides were a mix of orange and white flowers with bell hangings. The central part of the mandap also featured a lot of props that suit the wedding mood like kuthuvilakku wrapped up in marigolds, banana plants etc. Apart from these statement elements, cute little corners which were planned and improvised on the spot were the show-stealers like the antique chest of drawers with floral embellishments with a cute little sign to serve the guest with flowers for the wedding was functional but also aesthetic and made for a cute photo-op as well.”
