Aashriya Jain and Sehajveer Singh, Maharaja Grand, Ludhiana
With back-to-back celebrations filled with incredible grandeur, this couple’s fusion wedding paid homage to both their cultures.
Flavoured with the richness of both their cultures, Aashriya Jain and Sehajveer Singh’s wedding was a desi fairytale come to life with its long list of stylish events. Spanning ten days, their wedding celebrations were photographed by WeddingSutra Favorite – Omega Productions who with their lenses captured the unfiltered joy everyone felt during the festivities.
How They Met
Aashriya shares, “We met in school 12 years ago and coincidently were in the same class since lower kindergarten. However, we actually bonded during 9th grade and soon became best friends. As fate would have it, we ended up pursuing higher studies in the UK. I settled in Warwick for three years for my undergrad course and Sehaj settled in Nottingham, which was just two hours away. Over the years, we managed a long-distance relationship intermittently.”
The Proposal
Aashriya shares, “Sehaj popped the big question on his birthday in 2021. I got a knock on my door and it was his driver with a beautiful green dress & a note that said that your future husband is waiting for you. To my surprise, there was a beautiful limo waiting for me and once I stepped in, a laptop played all our past pictures and videos with his voice in playback. I reached a beautiful location with all our friends waiting for us with the question ‘Will you marry me?’”
Wedding Planning
The couple shares, “We spent a year planning our big Indian wedding which lasted for over ten days. We got engaged in the month of December on the date we completed 10 years as a couple!”
Capturing all their precious moments while they celebrated their love was Omega Productions. The couple goes on to share, “We are so happy we chose Omega Productions. Not only they are extremely efficient with their work and so effective when it came to the deliverables! They were fun to work with and made us feel very comfortable. Thanks to them, we have some beautiful memories that we’ll cherish forever.”
Weddings Functions
Sufi Night
Aashriya shares, “Everything from the fragrance of Mogra down to dancing on the tunes of Junaid for Sufi night was planned by Sehaj. Peppered with ethnic motifs and with the couple making an entry flanked by Sufi dancers, this event exuded equal doses of mystery and glamour.”
Mehndi
The bride shares, “Sehajveer came in on a DJ truck and was welcomed by me under a phoolon ki chadar. There were many personalised elements in this event, right from the entrance planned in the shape of a book which symbolised the guests entering our fairytale to my mehndi design that I created to represent our entire love story.”
Chooda
For her chooda ceremony, Aashriya paid homage to her mom. She shares, “I wore my mom’s dupatta for the chooda ceremony and even held the ceremony with her wedding portrait in the backdrop!”
Phoolon ki Holi
As the couple emptied baskets of flower petals on top of each and revelled with their friends, everything looked aesthetically pleasing for the cameras during the phoolon ki holi.
Haldi
Sehajveer shares, “The Haldi had us entering on an ATV with a team of dholwalas, colour bombs and our friends releasing yellow balloons in the air. What followed was a day full of festivities and an evening Jagoo function.”
Engagement
Aashriya shares, “The decor for the engagement was glitzy and glamorous with hues of red. Hence, on the outfit front, we kept it simple with white outfits. For our entry, we chose to drive in atop a vintage car and exchanged rings under a sky full of bubbles.”
Paath and Bhajan Sandhya
Aashriya shares, “The auspicious paath event looked nothing less than an Anand Karaj with its simplistic beauty. We entered with our nieces holding boards of Satnam Waheguru and the Bhajan Sandhya welcomed everyone with the portraits of our ancestors.”
Wedding
For the wedding grandeur took a front seat as the bride entered seated on a palki surrounded by graceful dancers. As the varamalas were exchanged a petal shower engulfed the couple. A fusion wedding with both Sikh and Jain cultures, this wedding had no dearth of colour and traditions.
Advice For Couples
The couple shares, “Be as planned as you can be but also know that everything will not turn up as you jotted. Despite this, you must enjoy your day with your partner! Whatsoever happens, just remember to dance, have the best time and click tons of pictures as those are the memories you’ll look at years later.”
