Tamanna Gambhir and Shashank Arora, Trident Hotel, Gurgaon
From the Dior-inspired Haldi to a stunning varmala under the trees, this wedding was replete with magical moments!
Architect Tamanna Gambhir and Businessman Shashank Arora’s wedding festivities amalgamated striking decor concepts with unforgettable moments. Unfazed by surprise showers, WeddingSutra Favorite – Le Florence Weddings gracefully orchestrated every detail to leave the couple and their guests with beautiful memories. Read on to know how it all unfolded.
Wedding Planning
The Delhi-based couple chose to host their wedding in Gurgaon, selecting top luxury hotels like Trident Hotel and The Oberoi Gurgaon as the backdrop for their revelries. With distinctive decor themes in mind for each of their events, the couple turned to Le Florence Weddings to bring them to life.
Talking about their experience, they say “Le Florence Weddings has helped us out in every way possible. Despite unexpected rains, they pulled off the events and the decor effortlessly. Even though they had to change the setups from outdoors to indoors numerous times, they accommodated all our requests and went above and beyond for everything. We would highly recommend Le Florence to anyone planning their wedding”.
Wedding Functions
Mehndi
The festivities kicked off with a lively Mehndi function in bright hues of pink and orange. Brimming with colourful flowers, plush furniture, quirky prints, baskets of marigolds, tassels, and more, the decor wove a vibrant tapestry of fun and celebration. The couple matched the mood with vivid fuchsia ensembles.
Sangeet
Hosted at The Oberoi Gurgaon, the Sangeet evening was a chic affair of black and gold. From the entrance to the eclectic bar complete with a mannequin wrapped in neon lights, pops of red roses, neon quotes, crystal hangings, and more, the evening exuded edgy elegance. The bride dazzled in a silver lehenga for the occasion, while the groom channeled glamour with a shimmering black sherwani.
Haldi
Inspired by the aesthetics of luxury brand Dior, the Haldi was orchestrated in a charming palette of white and blue. Blue-toned floral arrangements, exotic palms, drapes, and other decor corners offered a lovely contrast against the traditional Haldi hues of yellow, with the highlight being the serene Haldi setup with nature illustrations as the backdrop. The couple sat in brass urlis surrounded by flowers as they were doused with yellow flower petals and haldi!
Wedding
Orchestrated on the idyllic tree island in the wedding lawns of Trident Hotel, the wedding was as enchanting as could be! Matching the palette of red and white, the bride was resplendent in a red lehenga as she walked in under a white phoolon ka chadar. Enveloped in red roses, the pillars of the mandap converged in a floral dome with a canopy of tuberoses encircling a crystal chandelier that hung above the couple as they exchanged varmalas. The proceedings were then shifted indoors due to heavy rain, where the couple tied the knot amidst their loved ones as the heavens showered their blessings.
Advice for couples
“One thing that we would recommend to all couples is that they should hire wedding planners as soon as they finalise their wedding date. Trust your planners with suggestions and advice as they will not only know the best solution to your problems but also know how to manage them.”
