Khushboo and Kavish, Ahmedabad, Gujarat
Kavish had planned a surprise proposal, but Khushboo landed up popping the question to him instead during their Thailand holiday.
Khushboo and Kavish’s wedding celebrations were planned by WeddingSutra Favorite 7x Weddings, and the beautiful memories were captured by another WeddingSutra Favorite Sam & Ekta. Here, the couple shares their love story and some highlights of their big day.
How They Met
“Khushboo and I met through a mutual friend for the first time once I had came back from London. Soon after, she reached out to me again to help promote my startup, and from then on, we never stopped talking. We got to know each other better and began confiding in each other. In her, I found my greatest friend, and the comfort we felt in each other’s company was unlike anything we had experienced before.”
The Proposal
“Our proposal story is a little funny. Two years after meeting Khushboo, I knew that I wanted our connection to last forever, so I decided to surprise her with a ring on our vacation. The idea was to go down on one knee in Phuket. However, during the trip, she got so overwhelmed that when we were in Phi Phi, she asked me to marry her before I could pop the question!”
Wedding Planning
“From ideation and designing of the decor to the planning and execution, all of it was done with utmost involvement by 7x Weddings. The team took care of all the details and ensured that the festivities flowed smoothly. Our wedding photography was taken care of by Sam & Ekta, and we could not have been happier about working with them. The pictures that they clicked are some of our most prized possessions!”
Wedding Functions
Mehndi
“We wanted the look and feel of the mehndi to be very traditional, and we decided to let the decor be simple yet elegant. A lot of marigold blooms and pink drapes were used in contrast with yellow fabrics to create a charming setup. The cool December breeze helped create a pleasant atmosphere, and the setting sun doused the event in a beautiful warm glow.”
Haldi
Sangeet
“White and gold formed the color palette for our sangeet, and the stage was decorated using lots of flowers, chandeliers, and twinkling lights. This resulted in a dreamy backdrop for the ring ceremony that preceded the dance performances. The venue was dotted with life-size motifs which further enhanced the elegance of the beautiful setup. Both of us were led in to the venue entrance by troupes of dancers and the beats of the dhol filled the air with infectious excitement. The evening saw some enthralling dance performances and lots of laughter made this night memorable.”
Wedding
“The evening began with a ‘varmala’ (garlanding ceremony) after which we made our way to the mandap for the pheras. The mandap canopy was covered in lush green leaves that were accented by golden bells, and blooms of baby’s breath. The ceremony was a lively affair with all our loved ones cheering us from all four sides and showering us with flower petals!”
Reception
“We had the most breathtaking stage at our reception. The premises of the venue were lit by lights in beautiful hues. Flowers in soothing colors were used to decorate the spaces. Lots of drapes hung from magnificent archways and added a romantic vibe to the setting which made the reception a fitting finale for our wedding celebrations.”
