Wedding Planning
Hiral shares, “To describe it in a word, I’ll say I wanted the wedding to be a ‘celebration’. A celebration of us being together for 10 years and finally sharing our love with our near ones. Being away from our close ones and staying together for over 5 years, we saw our love mature and evolve. We wanted to celebrate that feeling with everyone and enjoy our time. We being designers ourselves, didn’t want anything flashy. Instead, we wanted a close-knit wedding where our traditions could flourish. We did not want the decor to overpower the senses and Creative Witty fit our aesthetic needs perfectly.” Bhargav shares, “Creative Witty was on the same wavelength as us right from our first meeting. It wasn’t easy to plan the whole wedding in literally a month but they played to their strengths. Creative Witty had a great eye for detail and followed our brief precisely. The decor amplified the cheer at the celebrations and gave us such a positive vibe. I think it was beautifully set and we instantly became comfortable as Creative Witty took charge of the reins.”
To capture the precious moments of their nuptials the couple chose Canonboy Productions who with their expertise seized every moment of joy with their lenses. Be it spontaneous candids, stylish portraits or cheerful pictures of both families enjoying themselves – each picture expressed a plethora of emotions.
Weddings Functions
Haldi
For the haldi, the decor took a cue from the South Indian style. Featuring banana leaves, and a multitude of jasmine garlands that were set off by yellow marigolds, the haldi was a breezy event. And, true to the couple’s brief, the decor was kept minimalistic yet striking.
Mehndi
At the mehndi, purple and pink hues reigned supreme as statement floral setups and flowy drapes adorned the open-air venue. A chevron-patterned stage highlighted the seating area while flowers in cane baskets added a touch of bohemian earthiness to the decor.
Sangeet
Neel Choksi from Creative Witty shares, “The couple share a love for natural decor and that is what led us to create a sangeet setup. We used green and white floral hangings on the dance floor with lights and crystals that gave that extra dose of glam.”
Wedding
Neel shares, “The couple envisioned getting married under a tree and having an open space our team made sure that dream became a reality. We fabricated a tree under which the main wedding ceremony took place. The venue and tree were enhanced using white floral hangings and red flowers made everything look regal.”
