Pallavi and Ajay, Pune
This couple wanted a minimalistic wedding and used different vistas of their opulent hotel venue to create the ideal event locations.
Pallavi and Ajay tied the knot at the grand Courtyard by Marriott in Pune. With minimal but distinct elements, the couple managed to create a dreamy wedding.
How They Met
“We met at a matrimonial meet. We both felt something right from the moment we met but decided to take our time getting to know each other. Even so, things escalated pretty quickly and soon everything seemed to fall in place. We fell in love and got married a year later. Though it was an arranged marriage, we were very much in love.”
Wedding Planning
“We wanted to keep it simple and elegant, incorporating small but distinct elements. This made all the difference and we couldn’t have imagined a better outcome.”
