Arpit and Akshaya

How We Met
“Arpit and I studied in the same school, and knew each other for more than a decade. We have been together since then and our journey together has been a complete roller coaster ride. For the first five years of our relationship, we lived in the same city. However, it was only after graduating from the same college that Arpit decided to shift to Dubai. For the next five next years, we managed a long-distance relationship living in two different countries.”

Wedding Functions

Mehndi and Sagan
“The first day of the event included the mehndi and ‘sagan’ (engagement) ceremonies and the decor had a vibrant ‘mela’ (fair/carnival) vibe with blue, yellow and white shades used across all decor elements. The beautiful colors and interesting accents added a touch of glitz to the proceedings.”

Ring Ceremony and Cocktail
“The pool party was followed by the ring ceremony and cocktail in the evening that had a Moroccan theme. The colors used went perfectly with the cocktail mood and it was a crazy night with fun, family, friends, and love. The lighting set up in all four directions gave full coverage to the event and added more glamor to the entire set-up.”
