How They Met
Anisha and Arjun’s story started in 2018 after Anisha slid into his DMs. And, after a week of messaging each other consistently, the couple decided to go out on a date which marked the beginning of their relationship.

The Proposal
Originally, Arjun planned to whisk Anisha away to Kyoto in Japan, a country he spent much of his childhood in. Unfortunately, his proposal plans were foiled due to the pandemic. After much contemplation, he surprised her with a wedding proposal in Amagansett, New York when they were on a vacation.

Wedding Venue
After many hours of research and a recce trip, they finally decided to host their celebrations at Mandarin Oriental in Bodrum which is a beautiful beach city with a stunning view of the Aegean Sea.

Wedding Planning
After brainstorming and researching Anisha along with her wedding squad decided to select outfits that would resonate with her events. And, after much deliberation, Anisha carefully handpicked outfits from trusted designers whose work she’s always admired. Additionally, the bride also took a cue from the venue and ensured that her ensembles would resonate with the spirit of the location.

Day at the beach
Kicking off the first day of the celebrations was a day by the beach that Anisha spent with her close friends. Donning a blush-colored bikini with a fringed off-white wrap, Anisha looked beach ready yet bridal at the same time.

Welcome Party
Keen on standing out against the green decor and wearing something that would flow with the breeze, Anisha chose an off-white dress with gold accents. With a pleated skirt and green jewellery, her look exuded old-school Hollywood glamour which was accentuated by her side parted wavy hairstyle.

Wedding
For the wedding, everything just had to be perfect. After careful planning with Tarun Tahiliani’s team, she chose a stunning pale pink creation that embodied the spirit of the new-age Indian bride. Blending the classic lehenga silhouette with contemporary embellishments, the lehenga contrasted beautifully with the backdrop while looking right at home surrounded by the floral decor. On the jewellery front Anisha was just as picky as she chose a beautiful set that was a mix of emeralds, rose cut diamonds, pearls, and diamonds. – Tarun Tahiliani
