How They Met
Shimoli and Geet first crossed paths in college while pursuing their post-graduation degree. However, the duo didn’t really interact for almost two years. But then fate stepped in and they struck up a conversation during the last semester forging an instant connection. Within 15 days lockdown hit and the couple was forced to part ways as Geet moved to Delhi while Shimoli made her way back to Ahmedabad. After almost 10 months of video calls and virtual dates, they finally met in December 2020, and a year later tied the knot!

Wedding Planning
With a grand destination wedding on the cards, the couple started scouting for an efficient planner and decorator to add to their wedding squad. Their endeavors were met with success as they got in touch with Desert Pearl Entertainment who impressed them with their creativity and proactiveness. The bride shares, “Desert Pearl Entertainment is hands-down the best planner that you can rope in for your big day. An unexpected thunderstorm hit the venue as the events were about to commence but the planning team took it all in their stride as they swiftly revised their plans and made sure the functions lived up to our vision. For two days straight they were on their feet, helping us out at every step of the way.”

Mehndi
For the Mehndi, the couple chose a subdued color palette which in turn highlighted the stunning architecture that surrounded them. Dotted by pastel-colored furnishings with paisley printed upholstery, the entire event exuded a vintage yet quintessentially desi charm. While Shimoli looked stunning in a sunny yellow outfit, Geet contrasted her in a simple teal kurta.

A foliage backdrop added a dash of a lush green hue to the venue. A stunner in her black sequined gown, Shimoli stole hearts as she walked in on Geet’s arm who looked dapper in a velvet suit.

Reception
Opting for a minimalistic theme the newlyweds went with a rustic decor for their reception event. Small vintage lanterns with candles and wooden stands topped with white flowers gave the venue a romantic look. They chose a contemporary route for the reception as both Shimoli and Geet chose indo-western looks for their respective lehenga and bandhgala. Needless to say all eyes were on them that evening!
