Effortlessly captured by WeddingSutra Favorite – Sam & Ekta, the pictures below weave a beautiful story.

How They Met
In the midst of one of the most difficult times of our generation, Trividha and Ansh’s love was ignited with the encouragement of their mothers. WhatsApp conversations, coffee deliveries and a few telephone calls later, they met for a drive that ended up lasting for 10 hours! By the end of the night, they knew they had found their one.

The Proposal
With a beautiful private dinner on January 1st of 2021 at The Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai Ansh sought to start the new year with the promise of spending their lives together. With an elaborately planned proposal in mind, he whisked Trividha away for private dining at Casablanca with the view of the setting sun, the Gateway of India and the beautiful Arabian Sea. A walkway of flowers, custom fine dining menu and even a private room full of pictures and red roses, all added up to making the evening unforgettable. Just as their 7-course meal was coming to an end, in came the dessert with the ring and the magic question that changed their lives forever.

Wedding Planning
The couple chose the talented duo of Sam & Ekta to immortalize their moments. They share, “Sam & Ekta topped our list since the day we got engaged. We had seen their work and spoken to them and we knew there was no one else we would want to capture our wedding for us. They were exactly the kind of photographers we were looking for – kind, humble and sensitive to every emotion we felt. They felt like family and were a dream to work with. They captured the most beautiful moments and gave us the best memories for life!”
The couple imagined stunning themed decor for each of their functions, which were beautifully executed by the team of Planbox Weddings and Events. They also worked with a team of other talented vendors who came together to make their celebration one for the ages. An enviable range of elite performers such as Digital Chants and others added splendor to the festivities, while celebrity artist DJ AJ took the festivities to the next level.

Premeditated with soft pastel decor, the laidback soiree had a relaxed vibe for guests to unwind, mingle and get ready for the upcoming revelries. Soft-hued flowers and pampas grass set a chic tone for the occasion, while avant-garde crochet creations, teepees and more, added a bohemian flare to the decor. The bridal seating however stole the show with a plush sofa arrangement of flowers and pampas grass set against a magical backdrop of the mountains beyond. The bride looked radiant in a quirky pink short lehenga, which the groom matched with a pink shirt and a chic beige brunch blazer.

Wedding
The Wedding ceremony sported quintessential red and gold decor with a modern twist, set amidst the surrounding beauty of mountains. A striking mandap of red flowers, elegant gold and white elements, floral canopies set a magical atmosphere for the nuptials. Dressed in traditional hues of white and red, the couple looked ethereal as they exchanged varmalas under a tree bedecked with fairy lights and chandeliers, before tying the knot within the grand red mandap.

Advice for couples
“To all the future Brides and Grooms, we have only one thing to say – Enjoy every minute of it. We spent a year planning our wedding and it simply flew by in the most beautiful 3 days. Savor every minute of the planning. You’ll definitely have some friction, but at the end of it all, you’ll get everything you ever dreamed of.
