Nupur Sanon and Stebin Ben, Udaipur
An intimate, lakefront Udaipur wedding defined by soft-glam bridal elegance, heartfelt vows, and a less-is-luxe aesthetic.
Actor and entrepreneur Nupur Sanon and singer Stebin Ben’s wedding unfolded as a quiet, cinematic celebration set against Udaipur’s serene lakes and royal backdrops. Steering away from spectacle, the couple chose an emotion-first approach – one that prioritised intimacy, authenticity, and deeply personal moments over grandeur.
The ceremony took place by the lake, framed by calm waters and heritage architecture, with close family and loved ones in attendance. In keeping with the tone of the day, the couple captioned their wedding photographs simply and sentimentally: “I did, I DO, I will Always.”
White Wedding
For her bridal look, Nupur embraced timeless, soft-glam energy. She wore a sculpted off-shoulder white gown detailed with delicate lace and paired it with a long, flowing veil that lent an air of bridal poetry to the moment. Stebin complemented her aesthetic in clean, tailored neutrals, opting for a cream tuxedo that underscored the couple’s shared preference for refined simplicity.
Hindu wedding
The Hindu wedding that followed brought a vibrant contrast, opening with a high-energy baraat that transformed tradition into celebration. Nearly a hundred men holding traditional umbrellas formed a striking visual as Stebin, surrounded by friends, danced his way to the mandap. Nupur made an emotional bridal entry amid lush floral décor, as both bride and groom donned custom Manish Malhotra ensembles for the pheras. The sacred rituals concluded with a dramatic five-minute fireworks display illuminating the Udaipur sky, followed by a shower of flowers marking the end of the ceremony.
The wedding saw a well-curated guest list of close friends from the film and music fraternity, including Dinesh Vijan, Raghav Sharma, Varun Sharma, Mouni Roy, Rohit Dhawan, Disha Patani, Tejasswi Prakash and Karan Kundrra, among others. The celebrations flowed seamlessly into music-led evenings, with live performances by Sonu Nigam and Sukhbir keeping guests on the dance floor well into the night.
Cocktail Sangeet
The cocktail night featured performances by B Praak, Sagar Bhatia and DJ Chetas, while earlier festivities included a haldi ceremony and a boho-themed sangeet that leaned relaxed yet celebratory. Food played a starring role across events, with an expansive culinary spread featuring multiple chicken and mutton preparations, international cuisines including Japanese and Asian selections, and an indulgent assortment of global desserts.
Reception
Hosted at the ninth-floor ballroom of The St. Regis Mumbai, Nupur Sanon and Stebin Ben’s reception unfolded as Maison Rouge Infinity, an opulent, modern celebration rooted in the idea of infinite love and new beginnings. Conceptualised in a refined palette of black, white, and greys, the décor was punctuated with deep red accents that added drama and romance. Guests were welcomed by a striking media wall where cascading florals flowed into an abstract infinity form bearing the couple’s bespoke monogram. The entirely blacked-out venue allowed soft red lamps, candlelight, and fluid wave visuals to glow, symbolising permanence and flow. A custom black-and-white carpet inspired by Van Gogh’s expressive strokes featured Nupur’s handwritten quotes and scribbles, transforming the floor into a living art installation. Red florals emerged as bold focal points across the monochrome hall, while sculptural red trees framed the band stage against immersive moon-and-river visuals, creating a poetic, dreamlike canvas. Thoughtful personal touches, such as a grazing table illustrated with artistic representations of the couple’s three dogs, added warmth to the otherwise dramatic setting.
Reflecting on the celebration, Ambika Gupta of The A-Cube Project shares that Maison Rouge Infinity was “an opulent, modern reception conceptualised and executed at a relatively short notice,” with the design language centring on “infinite love and new beginnings.” The project was especially personal for her, as she got to know Nupur and her sister Kriti Sanon beyond the brief. “Kriti, as the elder sister, was intimately involved in the décor journey,” Ambika notes, adding that her clarity, enthusiasm, and hands-on approach made the process collaborative and instinctive despite tight timelines. What emerged, she reflects, was not just a design-led celebration but one built on trust, warmth, and shared creative energy, making Maison Rouge Infinity a truly memorable experience on every level.
