Yamini and Alexander, Alila Fort Bishangarh, Jaipur

Yamini, an Investment Banking Legal Associate, and Hedge Fund Manager Alexander’s divine destination wedding in Rajasthan was a confluence of vibrant decor and warm family moments, brought to life by WeddingSutra Favorite – Bhagwati Weddings. Watch their special moments come alive in these beguiling shots by WeddingSutra Favorite – The Blemished Tales.

Wedding Planning
The couple chose the stunning Alila Fort Bishangarh as their wedding venue. The fort, with its regal charm and breathtaking surroundings, provided the perfect backdrop for their celebrations, which was decked with extravagant decor by Bhagwati Weddings.

Yamini shares, “I practice minimalism in other areas of my life but I have wanted a maximalist wedding since I was a little girl. I wanted to incorporate everything I love about Indian culture into the wedding, which guided all our decisions from choosing the venue to the decor themes. Also, we had more non-indian guests than Indian, and my parents and I wanted to make sure that we created a 3-day event where they got to see the best of my life in India.

My biggest request was for an abundance of flowers, and the decor team at Bhagwati Weddings came through with that request. It was really their floral arrangements that led the theme for the rest of the decor. My decor team did an impeccable job!”

Their celebrations were immortalized on gorgeous frames by The Blemished Tales.
