Niti and Aditya, Gallops, Mumbai
White blooms, delicate lights and plenty of foliage made this couple’s minimalistic close-knit wedding by the coast of Mumbai an absolute beauty!
Keeping it subtle, elegant and minimalist to the very last detail, Niti and Aditya’s Mumbai wedding was filled with candid moments of love and joy. Capturing the essence of the union was WeddingSutra Favorite – Happyframes.
How They Met
Niti shares, “We met in India when Aditya who was based in Canada was visiting his family. A mutual family relative introduced us and we just hit it off! We dated for four years and in the second year of our relationship, I planned a surprise proposal for Aditya.”
Wedding Planning
In an unconventional move, the duo eschewed including a wedding planner in their plans and managed to orchestrate the wedding with the help of their loved ones. However, both, Niti and Aditya were keen on capturing the spirit of their celebrations in the most authentic way possible. For this, they roped in Happyframes who left them impressed. Niti shares, “Imagine a wedding where your every moment is captured perfectly. Happyframes did that for us! The team was so warm and took every request to completion. They truly made our dream wedding come to life. The team was very professional and punctual even in this city of traffic – Mumbai! We will recommend them to anyone who is looking to get a wonderful team of brilliant photographers, videographers and managers.”
Wedding Functions
Haldi
A backdrop of yellow marigolds that were accentuated by white blooms made the haldi pics look vibrant. The couple entered with their friends setting off color bombs and then, had a fun time as they were slathered with a mixture of turmeric. In the end, the couple were showered by marigold petals as they shared a candid embrace.
Mehndi
The couple’s mehndi celebration was a very close-knit affair using the same setup they used for haldi. The bride wore a bright pink salwar kameez set which ensured she looked stunning while keeping it comfy. Aditya, on the other hand, donned an ombre leheriya print kurta.
Sangeet
Hosted under the starlit sky with minimal decor, the sangeet had the bride and groom grooving. As they enjoyed the gentle sounds of the waves crashing against the shore, the couple also indulged in wedding games that had everyone cheering.
Wedding
Niti shares, “We wanted our wedding to be close-knit, subtle and elegant. And, at every turn, we firmly adhered to these factors – right from the wedding jewellery, and the outfits that my mother-in-law designed to the decor. The vision for this function was fairytale-like minimalistic decor. We generously used white blooms, and warm-toned white lights and chose a simple mandap design with a transparent acrylic floor. We aimed to create a warm and cozy environment for the people closest to us to celebrate this exceptional occasion.”
Advice For Couples
Niti shares, “Utilise apps to plan your wedding and create mood boards for each event. This helps the photographers give you exactly what you want, there will be stress during the planning but have faith in your plans and it will all work out in the end.”
