The splendid wedding festivities of London based Kanupriya and Vidit at ITC Royal Bengal and ITC Sonar left their mixed roster of local and International guests awestruck.

Wedding Venue
The proposal party was hosted on a river cruise under the towering Howrah bridge, followed by the Mehndi, Bhaat, Haldi, Sangeet and Wedding held across ITC Sonar and ITC Royal Bengal.
Wedding Planning
The bride shares, “Considering that a lot of our guests were coming from abroad, we wanted a wedding that would have all of them feel well entertained and most certainly at home while immersed in Indian revelries. My mother took charge of the planning with the team of Marriageuana, executing well designed and planned concepts. However, shortly before the wedding she attended another wedding where she absolutely fell in love with the arrangements. Apart from the wedding which was created as per her devotion as a Krishna Bhakt, several of the pre-wedding festivities were changed to look like the celebrations that we attended, and they turned out to be more beautiful than we could have ever imagined.”
The team of Reels and Frames were entrusted with immortalizing the majestic moments of the revelries, the décor was tastefully executed by Millennium Event and Marriageuana Floral Art.
