Wedding Planning
Monil Shah from Kkings Events shares, “The couple was keen on a sustainable, intimate and fun wedding. Plus they also wanted to contribute to the local economy. However, since there were about 500 guests on the list, both families wanted grandeur. In the end, a balance was struck to orchestrate events that would sit well with, both, the couple and their families. The ‘Farmer’s Market’ event was hosted to align with the perspectives of the couple with local goods on display and local flavours for the guests to savour. For the rest of the events, glamour and sustainability were juggled seamlessly.”

Wedding Functions
Mehndi
Adorned with cheery larger-than-life artificial sunflowers, natural sunflowers, purple blooms and gypsos – the mehndi was a sunkissed affair. As everyone got their hands patterned with henna, the ‘Farmer’s Market’ themed event unfolded in a charming way surrounded by greenery and earthy wooden decor elements. Wooden baskets brimming with fruits added a splash of color which was balanced by golden blocks of hay stacked on top of each other.

Sangeet
After the sunny mehndi, the couple moved indoors for the evening for the energetic sangeet. With live performers and Bollywood singer Sukhbir taking the stage by storm, it was an unforgettable night with a packed dancefloor. The colossal stage with high-tech installations was the highlight of the night.

Wedding
For their big day, the duo went for a classic color combo of white and pink for the decor. The floating mandap was minimalistic with a dash of glam surrounded by urlis filled with tuberoses and comfy ivory upholstered sofas. Adding a dash of red were scarlet rose petals that were scattered around the pool surrounding the mandap.
