Kiran & Gurj's love story took a magical turn during a romantic holiday in Dubai. After a lovely dinner, Gurj surprised Kiran with a blindfold and led her across the beach. As he removed it, Kiran was greeted with the most enchanting scene—a pathway of twinkling lights leading to a setup of strawberries, champagne, and Polaroid pictures of their shared memories. The words "Marry Me" glowed in fairy lights as the sun set, and in that unforgettable moment, Gurj got down on one knee and proposed. It was a perfect memory Kiran would cherish forever.

When it came time to plan their wedding, Kiran & Gurj knew they wanted a destination wedding that combined luxury and charm, and they found exactly that at Renaissance Tuscany Il Ciocco. Nestled in the stunning Tuscan hills, the venue offered breathtaking views and the perfect blend of elegance and Italian character. With BIWI as their wedding planner, the couple worked through every detail, from their pastel-themed ceremony with soft florals in shades of mauve and purple to their vibrant, colorful Jaggo night that reflected their Punjabi heritage. The welcome party embraced traditional Italian charm with authentic decor featuring classic prints and lemons. The BIWI team crafted mood boards for each event, helping them visualize how the celebration would come together.

For her bridal look, Kiran had always envisioned wearing ivory. She found the perfect wedding lengha from Faiza Saqlain, a stunning hand-embroidered tulle and silk adorned with intricate floral motifs. The lengha, crafted using dabka, zardozi, and resham embroidery techniques, captured Kiran's vision of elegance and tradition.

One of Kiran's most cherished moments from the wedding was her first dance with Gurj as husband and wife. Under a canopy of fairy lights surrounded by friends and family, the moment felt like a fairytale, capturing the magic of their love and the beauty of the day. The rich traditions, breathtaking scenery, and unforgettable personal touches made their wedding a remarkable celebration.

We were out for a lovely dinner whilst on holiday in Dubai. After the dinner, Gurj suggested we go for some drinks at one of the bars near the beach. As we approached the bar in the taxi, he hands me a blindfold and tells me to put it on. He walked me across the beach and as he unfolded the blindfold, I saw the most magical and romantic set up with a path of twinkling lights leading to strawberries and champagne, polaroid pictures capturing our shared memories and the words "Marry Me' in fairy lights. As the sun sets, Gurj gets down on his knee and proposes. It was the most beautiful and memorable moment that will stay with me forever.

Once we had confirmed we wanted a destination wedding in Italy and had picked BIWI as our wedding planner, we started making arrangements to view venues. We instantly fell in love with Renaissance Tuscany Il Ciocco. Located in the Tuscan hills with the most incredible views, we just knew it had the luxurious feel yet maintaining the Italian charm we were looking for. Hair & Make up was an easy decision as I knew who my number one choices were and just had everything crossed for them to be available. Thankfully, both of these artists were and they were just as excited as me to bring my vision to life! I always knew I wanted the theme to be pastel, soft florals. We decided on the colour mauve and different hues of purple to be the main choice of theme for the wedding ceremony and Reception. The welcome party would bring authentic italian charm with traditional italian prints, lemons. The Jaggo/sangeet night, we wanted it to be a burst of colour to reflect our traditional punjabi culture.  The BIWI team created wonderful mood boards for each event, noting colours and ideas of flowers and accessories so we could visualise how it would all come together.

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
I had always envisioned to wear Ivory for my wedding lengha with intricate embroidary so when I came across Faiza Saqlain's beautiful hand embroidered tulle and silk lengha, adorned in stunning floral motifs using dabka, zardozi and resham among other hand embroidery techniques, I knew I had found the one.
