Meher (Roshni) has lived in Manila most of her life. She studied and worked in Australia and married Spain based Amit Daswani whose family runs a perfume business and a chain of stores named ‘Sabina’. Meher and Amit now live in Las Palmas, Spain. Meher talks about her dream wedding in Pune.

Much before my engagement and wedding, I would always dream about my perfect wedding. I visualised my wedding ceremony and wedding look to be very traditional, in reds or maroon with a touch of gold and cream.

Our Sangeet was at the Corinthian and the wedding on November 22, 2009 was at the Vimla-Jivan Jhulelal Temple. For the Sangeet, I wore a traditional lehenga choli with zardozi work by designers Manzar and Hirsch (from Delhi). I wanted a feel of a very traditional ’Jodhaa Akbhar’ outfit. The skirt was velvet and the work was just beautiful. Everything I wore including the jewellery was very traditional. Of course it was the heaviest outfit I ever wore in my life but this was THE function at the celebrations. As for the main wedding, I wanted a simple and elegant lehenga with my favorite colors and which would look nice at a temple wedding. Mumbai Designer Zeenat Sayani created a beautiful cream mermaid style skirt with light gold designs and zardozi, and a velvet top.

For the reception at the Turf Club, I opted for a completely different look. The theme was ‘Black, White and Diamonds’, the entire hall was transformed with black cloth, lots of candles, red roses and strings of diamond-like hanging from the chandeliers. All our guests were requested to dress according to the theme. To stand out, I wore a beautiful western greyish-silver wedding gown which had a small stitch work on the right side of the top. I bought this gown from a store in Australia.

My wedding was truly the wedding of my dreams and I couldn’t have been happier!!
