Wedding Planning
Starting the festivities with a Rehearsal Dinner at Hotel Lakend, the couple selected the palatial property of Hotel Fateh Garh as the backdrop for all their other functions. After a lot of research, the bride enlisted the help of Desert Pearl Entertainment to craft her dream wedding from scratch! With a love of subtle colors and effortless elegance, the couple wanted their decor to organically elevate the existing beauty of the property, and Team Desert Pearl Entertainment, designed and executed all the themes keeping in mind the venue’s original space, layout, and architecture.
The Team of Movie’ing Moments captured their special moments in breathtaking frames.
Wedding Functions
Rehearsal Dinner
The festivities kickstarted with a cosy rehearsal dinner at Hotel Lakend for their bridesmaids and groomsmen. Hosted by the lakeside with mountains and shimmering waters as the backdrop, the evening was imbibed with the simple yet striking decor of candles for a setting that was minimalist, romantic, and breezy. The couple enjoyed a night of cocktails and delicious eats with their squad.
Mehndi
The Mehndi function unfolded with delicate decor and spirited revelries. Flowers, drapes, and other artwork softly accentuated the trees and architecture of the courtyard for a tranquil setting, while a giant mirror at the entrance welcomed guests to click pictures and make memories. Everyone bonded over dance, games, kite-flying, and henna.
Sangeet
Hosted under a starry night sky, the Sangeet saw a magical night of enjoyment. Tons of fairy lights and candles adorned the occasion, while mirrorwork elephants and cabanas added a rich local flavor of art. The dance-filled evening saw melodious tunes and choreographed performances as the two families and their guests came together to celebrate and get to know each other.
Haldi
Sitting under a canopy of tuberoses and marigolds while an arch of vibrant yellow blooms surrounded them, the couple was the picture of pure bliss as their friends and family smeared them with haldi and played holi with water balloons and ‘pichkaris’. Eschewing the traditional hue of yellow, the bride exuded serenity in a simple blue saree, with floral jewellery adorning her wrists.
Wedding
Imagined in hues of lavender and white, the sundowner Wedding was the perfect marriage of Western and Indian traditions and aesthetics. The bride dazzled in a shimmering white lehenga as she walked down a floral aisle, while the groom got his taste of a traditional Indian baraat as he arrived astride a horse. Framed against the backdrop of mountains and the lake, the open-concept mandap featured stunning floral arrangements, delicate metal structures, and an ornate chandelier, all of which glowed in the rays of the setting sun. The couple first took their vows followed by the phera ceremony as their guests cheered them on.
Reception
The festivities came to an elegant close with a dreamy Reception to celebrate the newlyweds. An abundance of candles and flowers infused the occasion with a magical ambiance as the couple made their entrance amidst sparklers and fireworks. They shared their first dance before cutting the cake and popping some champagne, and their friends and family shared their happiness with warm toasts and speeches.
