A gorgeous wedding executed at the magnificent Umaid Bhawan Palace, Jodhpur. With a classy Welcome dinner, two-toned Mehendi ceremony, glamorous Sangeet, and a traditional wedding ceremony, this wedding was one straight out of a fairy tale. From flawless planning, engaging artists and entertainment to impeccable décor, the wedding had it all!
The functions were held at the grounds with the palace as the backdrop, and the objective was to incorporate décor such that it complemented the palace while adding to its elegance. Each function stood out with an exclusive theme and was given a striking feature; for the Mehendi, there was a beautiful circular floral installation that served as the photo booth and stage backdrop as well, while for the Wedding a Ganga Aarti was performed by pandits which added a mesmerizing feel to the moment.
The extravagant affair began with a Vintage Chic themed Welcome dinner held at ITC, Jodhpur grounds. With rustic florals and cozy seating, the vibe was casual-chic which was tied together with the use of wooden elements and varied props.
A color palette of soothing blues and vibrant yellow hues was chosen for the delightful day time Mehendi ceremony. The expansive Umaid Bhawan grounds were decked with elaborate yellow tents with upscale lounge vibes while the trees were adorned with ombre tassel hangings. A pretty swing was created for the bridal seating area and a stylish long table seating for the family with beautiful Jaipuri centerpieces in blue and yellow. The lounges had customized furniture with printed panels and matching coffee tables.
For the glamorous Sangeet, the palace was set aglow with gleaming lights, while the structure served as the perfect scenic backdrop. Embellished screens in gold fabrics lit up the walkway to the function and lush floral arrangements in laser-cut furniture adorned the pathway. A large canopy was created using thousands of twinkling fairy lights while the elegant sit-down dinner area had mirrored tables with elaborate green and white floral centerpieces. The stylish centerpieces were a mix of gold candle stands with lush greens and sumptuous baby’s breath arrangements amidst dainty pillar candles.
The wedding was planned with a traditional and royal feel, and the beauty of the mandap structure was enhanced with floral décor, candles, and lighting. The wedding looked resplendent with royal red and ivory as the prominent colors. The décor had all traditional elements that matched the grace of the venue and the darling couple. Red roses and tuberose garlands were the essences of the décor. The steps to the mandap were decorated with luminescent candles and red floral arrangements creating an exquisite path for the couple to walk on while the ceiling was graced with descending tuberose laddis, antique bells, hanging metal lotuses and diyas. Seating for the post-wedding dinner was given special thought and a unique themed was conceptualized for the sit-down dinner where inspiration was drawn from the mighty sun and the tables were arranged in a manner of emulating the rays of the sun with a giant urn with red florals at the center, representing the sun.
