Puja Kabra and Divesh Thakur, Mayfair Tea Resort Siliguri
Surrounded by verdant hills, this couple’s wedding was punctuated by soft tones and vibrant moments brimming with joy!
Puja and Divesh’s wedding unfolded like a cinematic dream—layered with emotion, intimate elegance, and an unmistakable spirit of joy. Captured beautifully by WeddingSutra Favorite – Seventy by Two, each frame reflected not just what the day looked like, but what it felt like. From the quiet in-between glances to the loudest bursts of laughter, the lens never missed a beat, preserving every nuance with soulful precision.
How They Met
Their story began on a whim—on Hinge, a dating app, no less! Puja recalls scrolling through her matches with friends in Bangalore, amused by the profiles that popped up. That’s when Divesh appeared on her screen, with a rose and a charming smile in a crisp white shirt. What started as playful banter turned into heartfelt conversations that didn’t stop, even when they knew a meeting wasn’t guaranteed. But fate had other plans. When Puja picked Divesh up at the airport wearing a pink tie-dye shirt and holding two coffees, he instantly knew: she was way out of his league—and he was already in love. A kiss at the airport sealed the start of a love story that neither saw coming.
Wedding Planning
For Puja and Divesh, the planning process was deeply rooted in personalization. From the beginning, they knew their memories needed to be in the hands of someone who truly understood them. “We are thrilled with the experience we had with the whole SeventybyTwo team,” they shared. “They felt like family, listened to our story, and reflected our chemistry so effortlessly through their lens. Their professionalism, patience, and warmth made the entire journey so seamless. Every shot they captured felt honest, thoughtful, and completely us.” On the other hand, from the planning perspective, Shezal from Ikebana Weddings’ meticulous planning and thoughtful insights ensured every detail aligned perfectly with the couple’s vision.

Carnival
The carnival burst to life under breezy pink and ivory drapes, with playful décor that echoed childhood joy and whimsy. From pastel giraffes guarding the entrance to blooming flower beds and witty signage tailored to the couple’s quirks, it was a world crafted to delight. Guests wandered through immersive photo booths flown in from Delhi, tried their luck at custom games, and indulged in regional treats from Nepal and nearby hill towns.

Electric with energy and emotion, the Sangeet was a celebration that united hearts and generations. With power-packed dance performances, heartfelt dedications, and vibrant entries, it became the most high-spirited event of the wedding.

Wedding
For Puja, this moment was the culmination of a long-held dream. Nestled amidst the serene Mayfair tea estate, the wedding felt like poetry in motion. A soft-toned floral mandap stood peacefully against the lush landscape, echoing timeless charm. The Varmala unfolded on the lawn to gentle music, a tender interlude between traditions and tears. Intimate, traditional, and deeply moving, the wedding ceremony was a moment suspended in time.
