Throughout the planning process, we provided constant updates to Shreya and Parth, ensuring that every detail met their expectations. We, as their wedding planners, also arranged outfits for their friends and families coming down from the US, Doha, and other parts of the world. From the elaborate floral arrangements to the personalized wedding favors like the bridesmaids and groomsmen hampers, wedding stationery including a welcome note for all the guests, and more, every detail was crafted to create a truly unforgettable experience.
