After 8 beautiful years together, they finally tied the knot – in the most glamorous way possible!

Let’s just bask in the glory of these gorgeous photos, shall we?

The Mehendi Ceremony

“We love Italy and it has been one of our favorite destinations,” says bride Priya. And so, the theme for this alluring mehndi ceremony revolved around the beauty of Italy. Priya tried to recreate the gorgeous Amalfi coast theme using all the beautiful shades of blues and yellows for the decor. She dawned a cheery and fun sage green lehenga with floral details and Sooksham wore a white kurta with a blue coat to perfectly match the theme. We definitely feel transported to the balmy breezy coast looking at these pictures!

The Grand Engagement and Sangeet

After the pleasant sunny Mehndi commenced the glamorous Engagement -cum-Sangeet night and BOY is it glamorous! About the engagement ceremony, Priya commented, “Who doesn’t like all things shiny and classy so we went with all things gold and white, with beautiful chandeliers and glitters.” Well, we’ve got to agree with you Priya, we absolutely love the glam. From the floral and fairy light decor to the smoke and fireworks, this ceremony looks straight out of a Bollywood movie, and Priya beautifully contrasts the dark night with her peach and white lehenga. Obsessed.

Haldi Ceremony

The next breezy yet warm morning welcomed the beautiful Haldi ceremony. The ceremony was decorated in classic shades of yellow, white, and gold. By using the classic and simple color palette for the Haldi, the couple and their faces brimming with joy, love and excitement become the center of attraction of the entire ceremony. The adorable haldi cover on their faces and the beautiful flower showers make up for the perfect haldi photoshoot.

The Wedding

Finally, we get to see the flamboyant and luxurious palace-themed wedding! With the contrasts of the soft yet dramatic floral decor and the glamorous fireworks, the decor is a beautiful juxtaposition of different elements which also somehow go together in perfect harmony. For the auspicial and special night, Priya dawned a luxurious maroon lehenga fit for a queen and Sooksham complimented her with a honey-colored sherwani. The couple truly looked royal in their palace-themed wedding and we are extremely thrilled to see glimpses from the start of their happily ever after.

The trend of planning a destination wedding in India is picking up in recent years. Couples are gravitating towards having a sophisticated wedding in their own way at a location of their choice. Moreover, India has just the right amount of options to explore when it comes to planning a wedding in a unique style (and a unique terrain). After all, what could be more exciting than having your dream wedding without compromising on any part? If you are also thinking along the same lines, we have come up with a list of locations that could save you the trouble of going through some intense research. Read on!

Rajasthan

Rajasthan offers a bunch of interesting wedding ideas. From the splendid Udaipur wedding in Yeh Jawaani He Deewani to Priyanka Chopra’s exquisite wedding affair in Jodhpur, this state can keep up with all your grand and royal wedding requirements. You can even arrange local vocalists and performers to add an authentic rajasthani touch.

Goa

Goa is the go to place for vacation but it is just as popular for destination weddings as well. The far fetched beaches with cool breeze, warm sun and relaxed vibes is what attracts couples to this place. The most appropriate option for a destination wedding in Goa is to rent a resort with private beach facility. You can organize wedding functions during the day and plan DJ nights later on to make it wholesome.

Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh

North India has some of the best wedding locations for the mountain lovers and they all look breathtaking. Some of the best scenic places for a destination wedding up in north are Mussourie, Rishikesh, Shimla, and more. Pick your wedding date carefully to avoid peak snowy season as it often gets in the way of outdoor wedding arrangements.

Kerala

Kerala is undoubtedly a pristine place and its natural beauty beats all the worldly wedding arrangements. Impeccable beaches at places like Alleppey and Kovalam are great for coastal wedding themes. You can also set up guests seating, mandap, and swings alongside the coast to elevate the look.

We hope this article helped you in picking what best suits your wedding theme. Let us know if you have any other ideas about destination weddings in the comment section below.

So join us as we go through the journey of Soumil and Umang’s incredibly fancy and romantic wedding through a series of classy decor, gorgeous outfits, impeccable makeup and dreamy romance.

Let’s Begin!

A Grand Start With A Grand Engagement

The engagement party of the gorgeous duo was worthy of bookmarking. The palace was dazzling in the gorgeous fairy lights all decked up with colorful silk curtains. The bride’s ravishing off-shoulder red gown with a deep v neck looks surreal while the groom looks suave in a charismatic black suit. Honestly speaking, when it comes to fashion, their impeccable style is unbeatable.

A Colorful Start With A Splash Of Love

Umang and Soumil’s destination wedding started with a bang with their colorful mehendi ceremony. We loved the carnival style decor with all the colorful dream catchers and tassels. The bride looked liked a goddess in her powder blue lehenga and the beautifully done hairdo while the groom complimented her in his white kurta pyajama and black pathani coat.

A Shubh Mangal and Mazedar Haldi

The best thing about weddings is the haldi ceremony and the best thing about destination weddings is that you get to celebrate your haldi with bae. The bride undoubtedly stole the show in her dazzling yellow lehenga and her casual yet downright elegant open hair hairstyle. The groom stood out in a casual white kurta pyajama and do you wanna know the best part? The duo’s impeccable taste in decor! Oh my God! We simple couldn’t take our eyes off the quirky colorful floral wheel at the back of the seating arrangements and the adorable orange tassels dangling from the ceiling.

The Shandaar Wedding Ceremony

If you want a grand royal wedding then nothing screams royal louder than a destination wedding at the artistically brilliant Jaibagh palace of Jaipur. The bride’s authentic pink lehenga with the beautiful embroidery deserves to be saved for inspiration! Also, the groom’s white sherwani with golden work blends in with the royal ambience and accentuates all the wedding pictures. We give them a perfect 10/10 for their outfits, what do you think, brides?

Let’s all take a moment to congratulate the couple and wish them a very happy married life. We wish you all the best! You can check out their wedding hashtag on instagram. #milang
