Aanchal Sharma and Sachal Nanda, Alila Fort Bishangarh, Jaipur

Converting a majestic tree into a wedding mandap, this couple’s destination wedding was hosted in the lap of nature.

Scoring high when it came to elegance, this couple’s union was planned by WeddingSutra Favorite – Weddings by Event Crafter.

Wedding Planning
The happy couple shares, “Each event was uniquely designed combining Indian and American cultures. Sangeet on the rooftop was challenging during the cold season but the team took care of it by planning for heaters etc. Also, we loved mehendi and reception decor.

We want to express our gratitude towards all the hard work, time, energy, effort and passion Weddings by Event Crafter put together in making our wedding the most special memory of our lives. There is no way we could have accomplished all this without their constant efforts and attention to detail. Every request of ours was fulfilled and it was such a pleasurable experience!”

For their photography needs, they handed the reigns over to Shutterdown who with their expertise clicked the couple at the adorable best and captured the loved ones’ candid reactions.

Wedding Functions
Mehndi
A pastel celebration swathed in hues of blue and lavender with delicate blooms like hydrangeas, peonies and roses. The furniture matched the decor theme too with its ivory upholstery and a lavender coffee table.

Sangeet
Unlike the usual sangeet celebration where one sees a spike in the glamor quotient, the couple opted for a cozy setting which ensured everyone was comfortable as they took to the stage. An entryway with vintage bulbs welcomed the guests while a stage backed by LED candles dominated the rooftop venue.

Haldi
‘Lush’ and ‘yellow’ were the keywords for the haldi decor. With cheery yellow blooms of every kind being used to fill up cane baskets, the haldi exuded an earthy vibe. However, what took the cake was the couple’s seating areas which consisted of a pair of urlis that were strategically placed around a bed of sunflowers. After being playfully slathered by haldi, the duo enjoyed a petal shower.

Wedding
Sheltered by a majestic tree and hosted under the bright blue sky, the wedding was, simply put, hosted in the lap of nature! White floral garland suspended from the branches of the tree while pink blooms lined the perimeter of the mandap. Strategically placed copper vases brimmed with tuberoses along with vintage candelabras completed the look.

Reception
Lit up by spotlights and blue ambient lights, the sangeet decor was dominated by the huge stage where everyone greeted the newlyweds. Standing out against the blue lights were white furnishings which were accentuated by acrylic vases and red blooms that were used as centerpieces on the dinner table.
