Kunjan Shanghavi and Yash Shah, Turf Club, Mahalaxmi Racecourse, Mumbai
Exuding equal parts of traditional and regal grandeur, this couple’s Gujarati wedding was a stunning celebration!
Kunjan Shanghavi, a choreographer and fitness trainer’s wedding to a businessman Yash Shah in Mumbai was jam-packed with grandeur as the duo honoured their Gujarati roots. Planned by WeddingSutra Favorite – Kkings Events, this wedding was a spectacular one!
How They Met
Kunjan shares, “We met over 11 years ago in our neighbourhood through common friends. Both of us are absolute opposites and I think that it is the best part about our relationship.”
Wedding Planning
Kunjan shares, “Yash wanted a court marriage for the whole of 11 years and I wanted a dreamy, fairytale wedding. I wanted to celebrate our love just with our families and friends in every manner possible with the most elaborate setups. Every moment had to be celebrated with all the drama and extra bang like a bride in a Bollywood flick. I must say, Kkings Events were with us every step of the way as they keenly understood my vision and gave us everything we’d dreamed of for our February wedding! Their team was patient and so detail oriented!” She goes on to add, “Every event of our wedding festivities was planned with a lot of back history and details in mind. We tried to match every detail to the theme of the event from the outfits, jewellery, decor, and wedding gifts to the cuisine served.”
Weddings Functions
Lagan Lakhvanu
Kunjan shares, “I wanted this event to be dedicated to my parents’ culture. We are devoted to Shreenathji and
the entire decor was completely inspired by the Shreenathji Temple that is located in Rajasthan. We handed out personalised trays with the wedding invite and a gift to all our guests. This included a silver tray, pooja equipment and a scroll-like personalised ‘thank you’ note.
Mehendi & Bridal Shower
Kunjan shares, “The event was inspired by Turkish Cafes and henna parties. I wanted a bridal shower/mehendi event combined and it exuded a chic Moroccan vibe with lots of shots, Sheesha and a large spread of Turkish sweets. The return favours were also personalised Turkish stuffed dates.”
Wedding
The bride shares, “Our wedding theme was traditional and once again everything was very elaborate. My wedding gift to my groom was the special song DJ AJ and I composed together for my walk down the aisle. Since everything was traditional on our wedding day, the song had a very royal traditional side and I walked down the aisle with my parents and a six feet long veil. Being a dramatic filmy girl, I enacted and expressed every lyric of that song in front of my groom while walking towards him!”
