Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
Rajiv proposed on 23rd October 2021, just over a year after we first met. He had organized a spa day at the Corinthia Hotel in London, which is one of my favorite spas - we got pampered with lots of treatments and a lovely lunch. We then changed location to the Four Seasons Hotel on Park Lane. He asked me to be ready at 5.45 pm and meet him on the top floor of the hotel. When the lift doors opened, I could hear our song “Electric” by Alina Baraz & Khalid playing. I followed the path of white rose petals on the floor to the main room. There were photo frames of us and little gifts to collect along the way. When I opened the doors to the main room, I found Rajiv in the middle on one knee. The whole room was covered in white rose petals, with Polaroids of our dates hanging on fairy light strings and candles everywhere. The view of the London skyline in the background as the sun was setting was amazing. He had hired a saxophone player to play our favorite songs live in the background. He had also hired our wedding photographers to capture the proposal as well! It was the best moment of my life. Afterward, we went to Amaya, an Indian restaurant, for dinner; as a surprise, he had organized a private dinner with our immediate families. From there, we headed to a nearby bar for a final celebratory drink - I didn’t know Rajiv had organized another surprise after party this time to celebrate with all of our friends! It was perfect :)

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
I knew I wanted to wear traditional red and Manish Malhotra as I love his Indian wedding lenghas. I went to his store in Delhi and had the best experience playing dress up. I found my perfect Lengha there and knew it immediately.

What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
We have heard that guests loved our attention to the smaller details - we had written personalized vintage Italian postcards by hand to go into each guest's welcome bag when they arrived for the wedding. We had personalized tote bags made with our logo for guests to use to transport their belongings to the various events. Guests still use this as a reusable shopping bag today. We also had a personalized pack of playing cards (our family are keen card players), a personalized wooden vintage handheld fan, and personalized do-not-disturb signs for the wedding guests. We also had a whole range of Italian snacks and wines for guests to enjoy in their rooms. We had water guns for the Haldi, which guests also loved!

Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
We wrote our own personal vows, so hearing those out loud was really special. The moment we said ‘I Do’ and became husband and wife meant a lot. The whole theme of our wedding was “From Dreams To Reality,” and it was amazing to see all our ideas come to life against the beautiful Tuscan backdrop.

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
The day flies by, and before you know it, it will have already become a memory. Be in the present and savor every moment. Don’t let any of the small stresses get to you. You’ll cherish these memories forever, and you want them to be full of smiles.

Thanks for your visit today, sweeties! Don't forget to be back for more inspirational stories every day.

 Hi, Ladies! Check out Simran & Harsimar's wedding on the Platinum Guide Blog. You will love it! 

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
In between Covid, when he was finding ways to take my mask off ;)

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
Took me on a private helicopter tour around Toronto, not knowing the other person on that tour was going to be our photographer!

Tell us how you went about planning your wedding, and your overall experience with the Venues, Hair & Makeup, Outfits, Decor Theme, and all of the other important details.
We stuck to a strict schedule of figuring out all the venue-related vendors/bookings and themes and then matching our outfits/decor themes accordingly. We knew we could be flexible with outfits and decor, so we kept those themes near the end once all the bookings were solidified. We consolidated all the planning into one master document that was shareable with our family and always accessible to everyone. It kept things simple and in one place.

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
I always wanted or saw myself in a pink and in an evergreen lengha. As soon as I walked into Anamika Khanna’s showroom, there was a pink lengha staring right at me in the front. It was a brand-new piece from Kolkata and arrived without the dupatta. I tried it on, and it was made for my measurements, but didn’t have the dupatta. We hunted for days, but I was dead set on that piece - it fit like a glove. Once the dupatta was in, I instantly went for it!

What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
Being able to see the decor and themes come to life! Making mood and color boards was the best part because I was bringing all my ideas into one place.

What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
Everyone loved the ceremony aspect being outdoors - the Anand Karaj wedding ceremony was at White Oaks Resort, Niagara on the Lake, in front of a bridge and water fountains. The peaceful nature and perfectly sunny day just made everything so surreal.

Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
The “pala ceremony”; handing the pala from my father to my father-in-law - was an emotional but joyous/wholesome moment.

For events other than your ceremony, please tell us as much as you would like about the decor, style, dances, and all the special details.
Minimal and evergreen flowers did not overpower the space. Making the rooms look breathable yet moody.

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
Focus on what’s important and what makes you feel special - don’t focus on the noise of doing it a certain way

Today's magic is over, but you can be updated with us every day for more stories like this!
