Wedding Functions
Welcome Dinner
The festivities began on an intimate note with a mehndi soiree hosted on the beautiful Palace lawns for just close friends and family members. Imagined with elegant, minimalistic decor and musical performances, the informal meet-n-greet led to a melodious evening of laughter and dancing.
Pool Party
The next day began with a poolside brunch to welcome all the guests. The relaxed setup of cabanas and lounge seating was imagined in a rich summer palette of purple with beautiful flower arrangements, a showstopping canopy of cascading blooms, wicker baskets, and striped decor elements. Group games like beer pong and entertainment by Human Frills added to the fun of the occasion. All eyes were on the couple as they entered the venue with the Jazz and Funk band, after which their couple portrait was revealed amidst great cheer. DJ Stetson had everyone swaying to his beats.
Sufi Night
Steeped in warm, aesthetic decor that set a magical vibe, the euphoric Sufi Night was hosted on the stunning terrace space of The Leela Palace. The evening started with Sufiana Performances by Dance Smith, followed by the entry of the pretty couple who waltzed in with professional dancers. Anchors Karan Wahi and Pragya Tiwari had the guests entertained with their wit and humor, while Harshdeep Kaur, the Sufi Queen of Bollywood, stunned the guests with her soulful voice.
Haldi
Haldi morning bloomed in hues of yellow and white with pops of blue in a sunkissed confluence of love and laughter. Ornate brass elements and traditional marigolds were given a boho feel with rustic furniture, breezy blue drapes and pristine white pottery to conjure a beautiful setup against the palatial backdrop of the hotel. Dhiren and Pooja looked lovely in coordinated yellow outfits as they entered with a Radha-Krishna inspired performance, which was followed by Phoolon ki Holi and their Haldi ritual. Performances by the family and singer Mohit Lalwani elevated the occasion.
Sangeet
Opulence reigned supreme at the glitzy Sangeet night that was imagined with rich gilded decor with red blooms, dazzling performances and non-stop entertainment. The guests arrived to a glamorous red-carpet treatment with paparazzi, while the couple ditched the grandeur for a cool entry with their friends. Actor and Anchor Aparshakti Khurana bantered with the audience as they relished a rollercoaster of emotions with the family performances and ring exchange, after which singer Badshah kept them on their toes with his peppy numbers.
Wedding
Orchestrated in classic hues of red, white, and pink with candles, flowers, and vintage lamps, the wedding décor exuded royalty. Dhiren dazzled with a royal entry in a vintage car with his siblings and friends, before walking down the beautiful acrylic ramp with Pushkar Pandits to await his bride. Pooja took everyone’s breath away as she entered accompanied by her brothers and cousins holding a whimsical gypsy phoolon ki chadar. The couple left everyone awestruck as they exchanged varmalas amidst the amazing SFX which was followed by a spectacular fireworks show. Singer Hiral Garg added a soulful touch to the pheras as their loved ones witnessed the union of their souls.
