Wedding Planning
With the having her roots in Trivandrum, Kerala and the groom with his in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, the wedding was all set to be a fusion one. The couple shares, “From the first call, we knew we were in good hands with The Wedding Corp. Their attention to detail and passion for the craft truly stood out. The decor was stunning and exceeded our expectations. All the guests were talking about it! Throughout the planning process, they were a pleasure to work with. Their professionalism and responsiveness put us at ease. Their creative input helped bring our vision to life. We were especially impressed by their flexibility in accommodating last-minute changes.”
On the photography front, the couple chose Hiraaya by Aayushi to join their wedding squad. Impressed by the ease with which they interacted with the team, the duo recollects, “From the get-go, Hiraaya by Aayushi was super easy to work with. They understood what we wanted and were flexible with any changes we threw their way. During the events, they were everywhere, capturing all the feels and the crazy moments. And let’s talk about those photos—they’re straight out of a movie! We felt comfortable in front of their lens and it shows in every shot. We can’t recommend them enough.”
Wedding Functions
Mehndi
The bride shares, “My heart was set on having earthy elements with foliage for the mehndi. We fused contemporary elements with white and green hues to create a soothing color palette.
A backdrop depicted with palm trees reminded me of my beloved home state – Kerala. Vintage furnishings and earthy vases were the design elements we used to bring the entire event together.”
Mayra
At the Mayra, minimalism was key with simple floral setups. As per the groom’s wishes the design was kept traditional yet fuss-free.
Haldi
The bride shares, “Haldi was the most playful event for us – right from all the games with the anchor and the live bangle-making station. Yellow and white hues along with a 3D-style peacock backdrop gave the haldi ceremony a pristine look. The cheerful hues uplifted everyone’s spirits!”, says the bride.
Sangeet
“Sangeet was the showstopper event! Our sangeet had all the elements one could wish for – glamour, simplicity, fairy lights, chandeliers, and greens. Our couple’s entry was just as dreamy. All our guests spent the night grooving to rousing music”, says the bride.
Wedding
The groom’s baraat had all the right elements – an elephant, horses, a Jodhpuri-style band and all things fun! The baraat welcome rituals were followed by a traditional sit-down lunch. The bride gives us an overview of the setup, “During our wedding planning discussions with the planning team, I conveyed my wish to have a sundowner post-pheras photoshoot. Needless to say, I was able to get the shots I wanted! Coming to the design, I was keen on an entry gate overlooking the mandap. Achieving that in our limited space was difficult, but the team ensured I got the look I envisioned with a pastel-hued mandap to compliment my red lehenga.”
Reception
The couple wanted the reception to be all things traditional in the design story to reflect the culture of Jodhpur and Trivandrum. It was a meet-and-greet soiree with old-school sofas, vintage knick-knacks, candles and a Polaroid photo booth as a part of the decor. Folk musicians ensured everyone was grooving as the night progressed.
Advice For Couples
Spurred by her experience, the bride shares, “Plan your wedding in advance. Last-minute decisions should be avoided as much as possible. Have complete clarity on your concepts to easily communicate your vision with your vendors.”
