Apeksha and Divey, Jaypee Residency Manor, Mussoorie
The mighty Himalayas set the stage for this couple’s romantic wedding ceremony.
Apeksha and Divey’s wedding took place in the charming hill station of Mussoorie, against the beautiful backdrop of the mighty, snow-capped Himalayas. WeddingSutra Favourite Infinite Memories captured all the special moments and bride Apeksha shares some highlights of the celebrations.
How We Met
“Divey and I were in the same MBA class and became good friends. We would study together and have phone conversations until late into the night. Eventually, he started liking me as more than a friend. He would keep dropping hints, but I never understood them until one day both of us decided to confess our feelings to each other. There was no proposal, but we have been together ever since. We’ve seen our share of ups and downs, but our bond has only become stronger over time.”
Wedding Venue
“From the very beginning, we decided that we would have a destination wedding with not more than 250 guests, and when we visited the Jaypee Residency Manor in Mussoorie we were left spellbound. We loved this property so much that we decided to host our wedding there.”
Wedding Planning
“Our wedding planning was beautifully done by Whistling Teel, and Gaurav Chanana along with his team made sure that every detail was perfect. Infinite Memories were our wedding as well as pre-wedding photographers. We didn’t want to do our pre-wedding shoot locally, so we decided to go to Goa. Their work was appreciated by every guest at the wedding. Our post-wedding videos are so impressive that they look like they are straight from some movie.”
Wedding Functions
Mehndi
“Our wedding functions began with a mehndi that took place in the afternoon after all our guests had arrived, and the lively event was the perfect way to get everyone in a cheery mood.”
Sagan
“The same evening we had our sagan for which we chose rustic themed decor. Yellow lights bathed the environs in an ethereal glow, and floral arrangements in earthy tones added a sense of warmth to it all. At the entrance, we had a large wooden backdrop that displayed pictures from our pre-wedding shoot. Crates were decorated with flowers which added beauty to the setup. We had a ring ceremony that was followed by dance performances which filled the night with joy.”
Haldi
“The next morning we hosted the haldi ceremony for which we stuck to a yellow color scheme. Bright drapes complemented the orange marigold blooms. Even our guests wore clothes in the same hues which added to the visual appeal of the event.”
Wedding
“Our wedding took place in the evening where a dreamy mandap decorated using peach fabrics and pastel flowers was set up against the backdrop of the imposing mountains. The installation of a wreath created using flowers and branches made for a charming photo spot. This day was nothing less than a fairytale!”
Reception
“We went with a purple and gold color scheme for our reception since it was a combination that was different from what we had come across. The reception led us straight into the after party where we had a blast and danced till 4 am. One of the funniest moments of the night was when someone realized we had forgotten to book a room for Divey and me. The arrangements were made quickly, but it wasn’t until the next morning that we left the party venue.”
Advice For Couples
“If you’re planning a destination wedding, visit the venue at least two to three times to make sure everything is planned well in advance. Choosing the outfit is a long process especially for the bride, so start on time. After the wedding, the only memories that will remain with you are your wedding photographs so make sure to take some time out for the photo shoot during the wedding.”
