Wedding Planning
The wedding was entirely planned by Shaadi Squad. Bride Archana shares, “The team of Shaadi Squad was an absolute breeze to work with! Our wedding was a seamless, extremely personalized and professional process. The best part was that our guests couldn’t stop praising Shaadi Squad either. They got our brief bang on and ensured we got the perfect wedding!”

Wedding Functions

Wedding
The decor was both effortless and minimal. It was modern but with a strong sentimental touch. The couple wanted it to be very personal and curated just for them – right from the colors, to the flowers and the vibe! Archana was inspired by her recent trip to Tulum, Mexico, and the wedding planners incorporated lots of oversized green arrangements and candles. The bride wore a beautiful Benarasi saree from Roliana Weaves that she paired with a gold strappy off-shoulder blouse by Kresha Bajaj and dupatta from Akaaro by Gaurav Jai Gupta. Prithwish donned an off-white sherwani by Kunal Rawal.

Advice for Couples
Archana shares, “Plan the events as much in advance as possible and keep a fixed budget in mind. Delegate responsibilities to people you trust and try to enjoy the process. Do not get stressed or overwhelmed as a lot won’t happen exactly the way you envisioned it – but it will turn out better. When it’s all over you’re going to miss every bit of it so live in the moment and soak it all in!”
