Prachi Doshi and Akshay Gadhiya, Sheraton Grand Chennai Resort, Mahabalipuram

Prachi Doshi and Akshay Gadhiya’s wedding was a true representation of traditions merging with modern themes. Planned by WeddingSutra Favorite – Weddingz By Mindz, this wedding was a vivid celebration with carefully curated themes. Designing their union was WeddingSutra Favorite – The Escapade who accurately understood the couple’s vision and amplified it with opulent decor.

Wedding Planning
Prachi shares, We’ve always wanted to host a beach wedding and were fortunate enough to find venues that suited our vision. As for the planning, Weddingz By Mindz was a saviour. Working with them was such an easy process as they accurately understood our needs. The vibe and tone of every event was in sync with our imagination. The entire team is tremendously patient and talented. Collaboration with them was a smooth process and they, truly stuck to their word in every aspect.”

Wedding Functions
Celebratory Dinner
Prachi shares, “The festivities kicked off with a celebratory dinner by the beach which followed a bohemian theme. This event was held for close family members and friends and it just turned out to be the best night ever!”

Sajjan Goth
A Marwari ritual wherein the groom’s family is treated to an exquisite feast, the Sajjan Goth featured a comprehensive menu, regal setups and a live band. Needless to say, this was a meal that had everyone asking for more.

Sangeet
Prachi shares, “The sangeet with the theme ‘stargazing’ was the most fun of all! Since it was hosted on Valentine’s Day, it had an extra dash of specialness and both of us really let our hair down as we danced on stage. LED lights, baby’s breath blooms and coloured spotlights created a magical ambience.”

Carnival
Prachi recollects, “A true fiesta by the bay! The Carnival with its ‘Alice in Wonderland’ theme was the most laidback event of all as we played games and enjoyed watching all our nearest ones perform. Plus a live band helped us carry the event beautifully and kept the mood lively!”

Wedding
“In my opinion, the wedding varmala moment was absolutely perfect. The royal ivory-themed decor did full justice to our vision with a mandap adorned with white blooms, sequins, acrylic pillars and gold accents. Plus, our favourite musician, Mame Khan also performed making the day even more magical”, shares Prachi.

Advice For Couples
“The greatest lesson I’ve learnt through our wedding planning would be to not stress too much about perfecting every detail. Enjoy every meeting, recce, dance practice, and trial because these are your core memories. And once all the prepping and planning is done, let go and have fun on your big day! Make sure you live and enjoy every moment rather than stressing about it”, advises Prachi.
