Sharvi and Vidur, JW Marriott Bengaluru Prestige Golfshire Resort & Spa
The intimate Bangalore wedding was a symphony of muted luxury and charming family moments.
After an exhilarating journey of love spanning multiple countries, Sharvi and Vidur tied the knot in Bangalore with a heartfelt celebration, meticulously organized by WeddingSutra Favorite – Best Day Ever by Deepika Shetty. Their cherished memories were beautifully captured through the lens of WeddingSutra Favorite – SDS Studios.
How they met
Sharvi shares, “In January 2022, we found ourselves in Bombay at the same time and connected on a dating app. Although we exchanged a few messages, our schedules meant we couldn’t meet before leaving the city. A few weeks later, our conversations deepened, prompting us to plan a trip. I was in London, and Vidur was in India, but our mutual interest led us to Paris. We spent a delightful weekend there in March 2022, indulging in food, drinks, and museum visits. This marked the beginning of a year-long long-distance relationship spanning cities like Singapore, Kashmir, and New York, culminating in a heartfelt proposal during a cozy winter weekend at Thyme in the Cotswolds in March 2023.”
Wedding Planning
Framed by the lush beauty and sprawling spaces of JW Marriott Bengaluru Prestige Golfshire Resort & Spa, the wedding festivities of Sharvi and Vidur were brought to life by the talented team of Best Day Ever by Deepika Shetty. The team orchestrated the functions with distinctive themes and stellar decor. The bride’s cousin, a talented graphic designer, combined sustainability and luxury to bring the bride’s vision to life with eco-friendly wedding invites.
The team of SDS Studios captured their special moments in stunning frames. The bride shares, “During such a chaotic time, it was great to have a team that always felt relaxed and on top of things. They were present in both big and small moments, and really put a lot of effort into understanding our preferences and who we are as a couple, so the essence of our wedding could be captured by their team.
Wedding Functions
Mehndi and Haldi
The poolside Mehndi and Haldi celebration unfolded beneath the sprawling branches of a majestic tree, adorned with lively marigold decorations and unique elements like terracotta figurines and embroidered rackets. The bride wore the Sabyasachi lehenga she had donned at her sister’s wedding, adding a sentimental touch to the festivities. The atmosphere buzzed with joy as guests had their hands decorated with henna, while the couple was lovingly showered with flower petals and anointed with haldi, creating a truly enchanting experience.
Sangeet
The sangeet exuded an air of vintage elegance, showcasing a palette of gentle greens and rich browns that whispered of understated elegance. Majestic paintings adorned the walls while flickering candles and ornate lamps cast a warm glow throughout the space. Splashes of vibrant red flowers added a lively contrast, creating the ambiance of a royal sitting room. As the evening progressed, the atmosphere transformed with dynamic dance performances from the couple and their family, infusing the event with an infectious energy.
Wedding
Amidst vibrant greenery, the wedding exuded elegance in soft pastel shades, infused with the captivating scent of Rajnigandha blossoms. Eschewing the conventional mandap, the nuptials unfolded on an ornate stage under a floral canopy. The subtle yet regal palette of beige was imbibed with a refreshing pop of lavender. The bride, donning a beautifully embroidered cream lehenga, harmonized perfectly with the surroundings, while the groom made a grand entrance in a classic vintage car. The ceremony unfolded with moments of laughter and heartfelt emotions.
Advice for couples
1. “The smaller details matter. Our guests still remember the chai station with a variety of milk at every meal, our wedding hamper with locally sourced, healthy snacks, and the bedtime gifts left in their rooms each night.
2. There’s no pressure to buy everything new. Be mindful about your purchases and look for clothes that you’ll wear again. For example, my sister wore her own bridal outfit from Anamika Khanna at my wedding, and in turn, I wore the Sabyasachi lehenga from her wedding, at my own mehndi. I was also careful to ensure that both my sangeet and reception pieces were ones that I’d love forever. This was a more sustainable approach, and it allowed me to indulge in a heavy bridal piece for the special day itself.
3. Think outside the box on how you can blend cultures. We took the best elements of our Gujarati and Punjabi traditions and integrated them into the events seamlessly. We had guests from all over the world – India, the UK, Singapore, Hong Kong, the USA, Australia, and more. Many of them loved experiencing something new, and both families felt respected.”
