Aishni Katariya Jain and Aman Jain, The Oberoi Sukhvilas Resort & Spa, New Chandigarh
Brimming with scarlet roses and brass accents, this couple’s wedding mandap made a bold statement!
Entrepreneur Aishni Katariya Jain and Aman Jain’s wedding was a celebration that balanced modern design with cultural depth. Planned by WeddingSutra Favorite – Morani & Soorma and photographed by WeddingSutra Favorite – Raabta Studios, the early – April wedding in Chandigarh focused on space and mood to create immersive experiences.
Wedding Planning
The wedding was envisioned as contemporary yet rooted. The team at Morani & Soorma explored venues across Udaipur, Mumbai, and Bangalore before selecting Chandigarh for its architectural character, open layouts, and cooler evenings. “We wanted a setting that allowed us to build an atmosphere without overcomplicating it,” shared Noureen Morani and Karan Soorma. “Chandigarh gave us structure and breathing room.”
Day events were kept relaxed and open, while evenings carried a stronger sense of immersion. Throughout the celebrations, Raabta Studios captured the fleeting moments that defined the wedding’s spirit, be it the unguarded laughter during the mehendi, the stillness of the Sufi night, the quiet exchanges before the ceremony, and the uninhibited energy of the afterparty.
Wedding Functions
Mehendi
The mehendi was a tribute to Aishni’s roots and set the tone for the welcome evening in Chandigarh. The décor incorporated phulkari textiles, marigold accents, and woven elements. Regional Punjabi cuisine and live folk music created an atmosphere that felt familiar and grounded.
Sufi Night
The Sufi night centred on atmosphere. Three thousand candles defined the space, creating a warm and intimate setting for the live performance. The stage design was minimal, allowing the music to remain the focus. “It was about scale handled with restraint,” note Noureen and Karan from Morani & Soorma. The result was immersive but controlled, with guests drawn into a shared, reflective experience.
Lunch
The daytime lunch embraced a clean, contemporary palette. Soft neutrals, structured seating, and minimal florals defined the space. The setting felt fresh and understated, encouraging conversation and ease.
Wedding
The ceremony brought together minimalism and tradition. A mandap bedecked with red roses was placed within a sandstone courtyard, creating a strong visual contrast between clean lines and heritage architecture. The floral choice was singular and impactful, allowing the structure and setting to lead.
Sangeet
Drawing from the forested surroundings, the sangeet used earthy textures and layered materials. The décor remained rustic in tone but refined in execution. A statement bar and grazing table were integrated naturally into the setting. The evening gradually built into a lively celebration while retaining its design integrity.
Afterparty
The afterparty shifted to a sharper, high-energy aesthetic by the pool. Mirror installations and laser lighting created a disco-led environment that felt contemporary and immersive. A groovy DJ set anchored the night, closing the wedding on a celebratory note.
