Stuti and Achu, Lemon Tree, Gurgaon
The wedding that saw the union of two cultures and one love story.
Stuti from Haryana and Achu from Kerala, melted cultural differences when they decided to tie the knot. Their wedding, curated with equal love and care by WeddingSutra Favorite – Classique Events, reflected this warmth and joy. From the bursts of yellow in the haldi to foot tapping numbers for the Sangeet, and the playful games across various functions, each detail of interaction and décor was woven in to ensure that love stood out.
How They Met
Stuti and Achu’s love story began in Germany. Two Indians from different worlds, different cultures, and different corners of the country one from Haryana, the other from Kerala crossed paths while navigating life abroad.
Miles away from familiar streets, family gatherings, and shared languages, they found something rare a sense of belonging in each other. Their love grew not in haste, but with understanding.
Wedding Planning
Simardeep Singh Saluja of Classique Events says, “The wedding wasn’t just the union of two individuals. It was the coming together of traditions, families, and roots, woven together by a love that began abroad but was always meant to be celebrated at home. When curating the wedding, we wanted every detail to feel alive. We wanted to make the transition from one function to the other seamless and personal to the couple’s story.”
Wedding Functions
Mehendi
The Mehendi was a day-time function that unfolded like a sun-soaked celebration of joy, laughter, and love a day where color met emotion in the most beautiful way. Wrapped in cheerful hues of pink and yellow, the venue was transformed into a radiant playground. At the heart of the décor sat the couple’s sofa, draped in soft, elegant fabrics and surrounded by lush clusters of pink and yellow florals.
The crowd was pulled in with the “Who Can Wear a Saree Best?” where the men attempted saree draping with a mix of confidence, confusion, creativity, and absolute chaos, leaving the entire gathering in splits.
Sangeet
As dusk settled in, the venue transformed into a dazzling stage for the sangeet night where glamour met emotion, and celebration turned into spectacle. The evening reflected the couple’s vibrant spirit and the joyful coming together of two families.
The décor had a striking black and silver palette, creating an atmosphere that was elegant, dramatic, and almost celestial. The poolside was framed with sleek black drapes and shimmering silver accents, while the dance floor sparkled beneath a canopy of twinkling, star-like lights. Clusters of white and silver-toned blooms adorned poolside tables, while delicate arrangements highlighted pathways and corners, blending seamlessly into the monochrome elegance.
The stage came alive with performances by family and friends some deeply emotional, others delightfully playful. Stealing the spotlight, Stuti and Achu took to the floor for their couple’s performance.
Haldi
Dressed in radiant shades of yellow, family and friends gathered around the couple, smearing turmeric with playful hands, exchanging teasing glances, and showering them with blessings.
Vibrant marigold garlands lined the terrace railings, while soft floral clusters adorned tables, pathways, and corners. Floating petals danced gently in the breeze, complemented by lush hints of green foliage that brought balance and freshness to the dominant yellow palette.
Wedding Ceremony
The décor was a masterclass in understated luxury. A refined palette of ivory and regal gold set the tone, allowing traditional South Indian elements to shine through with quiet sophistication. Cane textures, handcrafted brass accents, temple-inspired décor, banana leaves, and delicate floral arrangements created a serene, sacred atmosphere rooted in tradition yet elevated in design. The space felt timeless, warm, and deeply ceremonial.
As guests arrived, many dressed in lungis, silk sarees, and traditional kurtas, fully embracing the South Indian spirit of the celebration. The energy shifted when the authentic South Indian baraat made its way in rhythmic beats, joyful chants, and vibrant movement filling the air.
Stuti emerged as a beautiful North Indian bride, embodying elegance and softness, her presence seamlessly balancing the cultural rhythm of the moment.
The mandap stood as the emotional centrepiece adorned with petal cones, traditional rattles, and delicate florals exuding an understated grandeur that drew everyone into its sanctity. Adding a cinematic touch, Achu arrived in a beautifully restored vintage car, its timeless charm setting hearts racing and marking an entry that was both regal and deeply personal.
