Ankit was the first one in his family to come up with the idea of a Thailand destination wedding to which Arunima instantly agreed. The venue chosen for this lavish affair which had a guest list of around 220 people was the Sheraton Resort & Spa, in Hua Hin.

Wedding Planning
Guests were impressed by the wedding arrangements and execution. The groom’s uncle shares, “Foreign Wedding Planners made us feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire event. All the skills that are necessary for their field were very apparent throughout a process that can be intimidating and anxiety-ridden, especially when they came on board only three weeks before the event. Our guests appreciated all the personal touches, planning, decor, and services provided by the team throughout the celebrations.”

Wedding Functions

Cocktail
With the simple yet elegant ‘Sparkle & Blush’ as their cocktail theme, the couple kick-started their wedding celebrations in high spirits.

Wedding
Ankit and Arunima decided to have a beach wedding, and it looked nothing less than a dream come to life. Reds and orange hues were used to complement the sunset in the backdrop, and the skies obliged the couple by displaying stunning scenes for the nuptials. The arch set up for the garlanding ceremony was decorated with flowers, and the center of the arch had a chandelier dangling from the center while sparklers surrounded it. The pathway leading to the mandap was also decorated with beautiful blooms on either side, and petals on the red carpet. The bride’s shimmering gold lehenga and the groom’s matching beige sherwani for the pheras made them look like a royal couple.
