WeddingSutra Favorite – VLW Global artfully planned and executed the dreamy destination getaway to perfection, imbibing every moment with unmatched beauty.
How they met
Some stories are written in the stars, just like this one. Nidhi and Shrikant had crossed paths 8 years ago in the streets of Kolkata, the city of joy, during their college days. Ever since they have fought every odd to make their relationship work. Very similar people in terms of core beliefs and family values, yet different in many of their personality traits, they found their home in each other.
Wedding Venue
For their dream destination wedding, the couple zeroed in on Taj Cidade de Goa Horizon, a sprawling, luxurious haven nestled on a verdant hillside with spectacular ocean views. Furnished with 299 rooms, Taj hospitality, and a plethora of venues for all their functions, it was a stellar choice.
Wedding Planning
The couple envisioned a dream-like experience with new concepts and refreshing ideas, a wedding where the guests would be taken care of with utmost importance and would leave with a feeling of utter bliss. The team of VLW Global oversaw the planning, design, and decor for all of their festivities. Imagined with stunning and distinct themes, each function was unique and memorable.
Cinelove Productions captured their special moments in breathtaking frames.
Wedding Functions
Welcome Dinner
Being the first of the many wedding functions, the Welcome Dinner was orchestrated to make a lasting impression on the guests, and what could have been a better way than to welcome them into a living fairytale with glittering candlelight, lush foliage, and fragrant blooms? On entering, the guests were treated to a mesmerising play of lights where they were invited to get comfy on royal green and black velvet sofas and armchairs. The excitement of the couple’s friends knew no bounds as they escorted them down the aisle with LED parasols for an enticing couple entry on the evergreen song “ Woh Pehli Baar” from the movie “ Jhankaar Beats”. Furthermore, the couple glided on the dance floor to the scintillating mashup of “Shollo Si and Touch Me, Don’t Touch Me”, shining bright under the colors of the night sky. The grand set of Twin Strings was the cherry on the top as they took the guests on a melodious journey with their suave performance.
Carnival
Sunshine, bright hues, Russian dancers, Stilt and Bubble Walkers, self-entertaining games and activities – the colorful garden Carnival overlooking the sea was as memorable as could be. The highlight of the morning was the couple’s entry on a speedboat with them holding color bombs as the guests released air balloons.
Sangeet and Ring Ceremony
Hues of purple with a whimsical glimmering decor encapsulated everyone’s heart at the Sangeet and Ring Ceremony. The couple, dressed in their glamorous best, made a ravishing entry through the two-tier grand stage, which was, followed by some out-of-the-box dance performances put up by family and friends. The bride’s solo dance, with some crazy lifts and turns, made for an unforgettable spectacle. The audience’s favourite melody king, Stebin Ben, had the guests dancing the night away.
Haldi
The streets of Europe were brought to life with lavender and mint green upholstery and architecture for the Haldi ceremony at the cutest venue in Taj Cidade de Horizon, Goa. The couple were adorned in ivory attires with guests in shades of pink showering them with flowers for an epic Haldi morning.
Wedding
Adorned with a vast, picturesque view of Vainguinim Beach and the rolling hills, Cidade de Goa stood as an undeniable gem for the remarkable sundowner wedding.
