Guntas and Ishdeep, Hua Hin, Thailand

In Guntas and Ishdeep’s story, there is only one patisserie chef but when it comes to the art of mixing sweetness with a generous amount of romance, the skill is not exclusive to one. The couple exchanged their vows in the ‘Land of Smiles’ – Thailand and beamed as they became husband and wife. The bride tells us the tale of their romance and shares with us the pictures clicked by WeddingSutra Favorite – Infinite Memories.

How We Met
“Our parents introduced us a couple of years back, but we weren’t ready to get married then. Destiny, however, had other plans. Ishdeep came down to Bangalore on a work trip, we met and instantly connected. However, I decided to move to London to become a Patisserie Chef while Ishdeep continued working and living in Mumbai. We kept in touch and two years down the line our friendship developed into a partnership for life.”

The Proposal
“A couple of months before his sister’s wedding, Ishdeep casually asked if I would be ready to attend her nuptials and I knew what that meant. I had no reply to it, and he asked no more questions. Fifteen days before her big day, he took me by surprise and called my dad seeking his permission. A day before the celebrations, the families approved of our relationship and exchanged congratulations. A day after the wedding, we got engaged.”

Wedding Venue
“We chose Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa in Thailand as our wedding destination. We were looking for a beach destination, and this property with all the comfort and elegance that it brought along became our instant favorite. The idea was to celebrate our love together with our closest friends and family at a destination which was easily accessible to everyone. The great part about this resort was that it came with a variety of venues to choose from which ensured that the mood and aesthetics of every function were different from the other.”

Wedding Planning
“Our wedding was photographed by Infinite Memories, and the entire team of photographers captured the moments with absolute perfection. Working with them was a delight as they surpassed our expectations. They were very professional, dependable and helpful. We will forever be grateful to them for making our big day a success and capturing our special moments. Sincere gratitude and regards towards Mohit and his team. We couldn’t have asked for more.”

Wedding Functions

Mehndi
“Our wedding celebrations began with the mehndi where we created a bridal seating with a white trellis as the backdrop. Fresh blooms were used to deck it up, and a white sofa with cushions in shades of pink was placed in front of it to make for a charming little setup.”

Pool Party
“The decor for the pool party made use of shades of blue and yellow along with white. We set up a large ring covered with twigs and branches. The entrance was decorated with leaves and sunflowers. Canopies decked with flowers dotted the venue. Our guests had a blast participating in activities that took place in the pool and on the lawns, and enjoyed letting their hair down and dancing.”

Sangeet
“We had a sakura-themed sangeet and the decor, needless to say, incorporated cherry blossoms. To elevate the aesthetics, we made use of flowing drapes in white and lots of light elements including chandeliers. The backdrop for the stage was created using golden bulbs, and two large trees were installed on either side of the stage. We had a night of dance performances which seamlessly moved into a happening cocktail party. I opted for a red gown by Zara Umrigar for this event.”

Wedding
“Next morning we had our Anand Karaj ceremony where the decor was dominated by white and pleasing hues of pink and orange. I made a traditional entrance under a ‘phoolon ki chaadar’ (floral canopy) and opted for a red Sabyasachi Mukherjee lehenga as my bridal outfit. Ishdeep, on the other hand, went with a white achkan and complemented my look with his red turban.”

Sundowner
“The last function in the line-up of events was our sundowner bash. The decor was centered around floral arrangements and some soft lighting added a romantic and dreamy vibe to the ambiance. I wore a striking Gaurav Gupta gown for this function.”
