Which event was the highlight?
“The welcome brunch. We wanted this to be an icebreaker
between our families and friends, so we had games, mehendi
cabanas, chilled beer stations, a DJ booth, and live stations
with delicious Thai cuisine. We made our grand entry on

memorable moment.”

How did you bring your vision to life?
“Before reaching out to different planners, my husband and

breakdown of events. This made it easier for the planner to
understand our concept.”

Which fashion and jewellery designer did you wear

Phillauri (2017) playing in my head, and I knew this was it.

My wedding jewellery was from Minerali, Mumbai’s very first

multi-designer jewellery store.”
