Fixing Ceremony
It all began with a ‘marriage fixing’ event at the Taj Green Cove Resort & Spa, Kovalam – a ceremony conducted on the beach at sunset, with light decor illuminated by the changing colors of the evening sky.
Engagement
The couple’s engagement had a unique Benarasi theme. The decor, resplendent with elements inspired by the creations of designer Sabyasachi, was light, minimal and very classy. The couple ensured the ceremony was truly a quaint affair.
Sangeet
The decor for the couple’s sangeet was inspired by the traditional gold, green and white of Kerala. The couple wanted an ethnic, tropical vibe and rendered this in gorgeous, minimalistic motifs.
