I am so excited to feature the wedding celebration of Nisha and Jiten. From the jewelry, to designer bridalwear, to the amazing theme and decor: this wedding is full of lovely colors, romance, and is a fairytale in the true sense of word.

Nisha and Jiten’s wedding kicked off with a “Taste of Spain”, where the evening later unfolded with a Vegas themed Youngsters. In a typical Las Vegas style, there were blong signs to roulette tables. The outfits for the Spanish theme welcome dinner were designed by Rohit Bal, and shoes were by Stuart Weitzman. For the Youngsters, the outfits were by Jun Escario, and Shoes by YSL.

On the second day of celebration, the lovely couple planned an Out of the box Floral Fujiyama Mehendi high tea. Held in a lawn at the Hua Hin Sheraton, they replicated a Japanese garden, which was decorated with cabanas and floral pomanders. With shades of yellow, light green and orange, the japanese elements and  flowers made for a perfect mehendi on a gorgeous sunny afternoon.

Nisha’s outfit was a striking bright orange concept sari, designed by Tarun Tahiliani, which  made her stand out against the green floral theme of the mehendi decor. Nisha’s shoes were custom made by Monica Fig. The beautifully decorated cabanas were also used to entertain guests with foot massages, hookah and a mehendi corner. The event was very colorful with guests and family enjoying the dance numbers played by the DJ. With anticipation for the Sangeet night building up, the japanese mehendi was a perfect start to the wedding festivities for Nisha & Jiten.

Your wedding is the most beautiful day of your life and we surely won’t have many people debating that statement. Just like everything around, the wedding styles and trends change as well and it is just fair for us to keep a lookout on what is happening around us.

The Wedding Stationery is one of the most important parts of the BIG day. This is not just because it is one of the first things you do, but also because the invitation gives a touch and feel of how the different wedding functions will look like. It builds up the guest’s expectations and beautiful invites always makes them crave for the upcoming events.

Just like everything else, the Indian wedding stationery has also evolved over time. That does not necessarily mean that it’s lost the traditional touch, but means that couples and guests have become much more open to experimenting with ideas, colors, fabrics and sizes.
