Taking opulence to new heights and looking undoubtedly regal, Dr. Mansi Anam and Kushal Thakker, a businessman’s wedding was a wondrous celebration. Hosted at the awe-inspiring Jai Mahal Palace, Jaipur, this Gujarati wedding stood out against the palatial majesty of the venue. Planned and decorated by WeddingSutra Favorite – Fiestro Events who ensured that everything was perfect despite the pandemic, Mansi and Kushal’s wedding was a desi fairytale come to life!
Wedding Venue
Mansi shares, “We’ve always dreamed of a royal wedding, and Jaipur was the first place that came to mind! Jai Mahal Palace, Jaipur is a stunning heritage hotel that blew us away from the very first glance. Its Rajasthani architecture, vast outdoor spaces, Mughal Gardens, delicious food and multiple banquet spaces allowed us to be as creative and innovative as possible!”
Wedding Planning
Mansi shares, “Since a royal destination wedding was on the cards, we were looking for a planner and decorator who’d understand our vision from the start. Fiestro Events was perfect in every aspect! Since the wedding took place amidst the third wave of the pandemic, we were apprehensive about what the future held and how everything would transpire. However, team Fiestro Events orchestrated the wedding without any hiccups and addressed each one of our concerns putting us at full ease. They made it unforgettable for all of us and we would happily collaborate with them again!”
Weddings Functions Mehndi
Sunlit and decorated with bright blooms that contrasted with the blue cloudless skies, Mansi’s Mehndi celebration was a cheery one as she sat comfortably on a bright fuchsia sofa to get her hands patterned in henna. Pink was the dominant color in the decor palette as the event was mainly attended by the ladies who also shook a leg with the bride. Adding a unique traditional Rajasthani flavor to the proceedings were toy Rajasthani soldiers that were placed atop the checkered flooring of the outdoor venue.
Sundowner
With a ‘Sufi Night’ theme, the sundowner was a glamorous one as everyone took the dancefloor by storm under the starlit sky. Decorated with Arabic lamps, pink-hued floral arrangement and lit up by vintage bulbs, the event seamlessly blended in with the surroundings. The entrance especially, was eye-catching with the grassy aisle lined up with numerous white blooms and a colossal wedding hashtag lighting up the pathway to welcome the guests.
After party
Following a neon theme and populated with neon LED signages that lit up the indoor venue, the After-party had everyone having the time of their lives. With a colossal bar, suspended spiral elements and pampas grass decorating the party, the event was a fun precursor to the traditional events to come!
Mandwa Pooja
At the Mandwa Pooja, tradition took the front seat as the lawns were decorated with bright marigolds. As the parents of the couple offered prayers to Mother Earth and sought her permission to erect a mandap, brass urlis and vases containing yellow and white flowers shone in tandem under the sunlit sky.
Carnival
To capture the true spirit of a Carnival with a Rajasthani twist, the decor and planning team used a profusion of bright colors to lift up the spirits. Life-sized games kept the guests engaged while a team of dhol players welcomed the couple. Parasols were bestowed to the guests to keep the heat at bay while upturned umbrellas adorned the entryway. Additionally, plenty of plush sofas covered with canopies ensured that the guests chatted the afternoon away merrily!
Sangeet
The Sangeet was jam-packed with glamor and stunning performances by the couple’s family members. However, the colossal stage was the highlight of the evening as it took everyone’s breath away with its grandeur. Lit up by umpteen LED candles and an LED backdrop that changed themes according to the performance, the stage ensured that everyone got a clear view of the exciting performances.
Wedding
Following the Kutchi Gujarati traditions, the Wedding ceremony was regal yet serene. Making full use of the stunning palatial backdrop, the decor was populated by pink, white and yellow blooms. The mandap too, was high on grandeur as it was swathed in pink flowers following an ombre color scheme and rich green foliage.
Garden Party
Hosted at one of the venue’s famed Mughal Gardens, the garden party was all glitz and glamor with the ladies donning gowns and the men looking dapper in tuxedos. It was a black-tie event where everyone had a gala time reminiscing about the wedding. An elegant combination of white and green hues adorned the venue while a photo-op with the couple’s hashtag resulted in a stream of selfies.
