A lovely day when she said “YES” Saksham asked Anshika to marry him in an ambient cafe, she did not hesitate even a single second to say “YES!”. Anshika expressed herself saying, “she had found her best friend and soulmate all in one person.”

Their dream wedding bloomed with happiness and chemistry and the absolutely gorgeous outfits, eye-catching jewellery, and magnificent décor added to the heartwarming ceremonies. Let’s have a look at their photographs!

Haldi Ceremony

Filled with bright shades of yellow and warm laughter, their Haldi ceremony feels grand yet home. The beautifully designed walls and the soft blue sky were complemented by extravegant floral decor with the classic Gendha as the central theme. In addition, the blue and yellow helium balloons add an extra fun twist.

Mehendi Ceremony

This mehendi ceremony truly celebrated the bride. The photographer took absolutely breathtaking portraits of the bride highlighting her beauty. Anshika donned a lavish printed lehenga. We also absolutely love how much fun she seems to be having, adding glory to the photos with her quirky and carefree attitude.

Sangeet/Cocktail

Unlike the bright, carefree, and breezy vibes of the previous ceremonies, the sangeet was themed dark, dramatic, and theatrical. However, some things remain constant through all the ceremonies, like the unbeatable chemistry between Saksham and Anshika and the contagious laughers and gleeful faces of the bride, groom, friends, and family. They never run out of fun! The bride donned a dazzling maroon lehenga with a modern twist and the groom complemented her in a dashing tux. The elephant in the room though was the out of the word décor with the extravagant use of flowers and dark surroundings to create the perfect ambiance for a cocktail sangeet!

The Wedding

Finally, with sober, pastel colors, balmy weather, and hearts full of hope, Anshika and Saksham tied the knot and walked around the sacred fire, promising to love, cherish and care for each other for the rest of their lives. Anshika chose to defy the classic red and go with an intricately detailed, striking pastel pink lehenga and Saksham rocked a white sherwani with golden details, making them look like a royal couple of a happy nation. Marriages like theirs restore one’s faith in love and its triumph over all.

Both NRI couple, while working towards their dream in Sydney first met at family friends dinner by pure coincidence or one can say it was all fate. Our punjabi groom fell to the pretty Gurpreet, and worked his charm while dropping her back home after the dinner. Being the Gabru, he didn’t waste time in taking her number. After meeting at several family gathering, Shiv finally decided on sweep Gurpreet off her feet with a Rooftop proposal in New York and both knew it was time to take it forward.

But, the couple lived in Australia, groom’s family in New Zealand, and bride’s family in Chandigarh and many wedding wear vendors they wanted were in Delhi so their nri wedding planning had to be craziest. If that’s not enough already, throw in a time constraint on top of that! Luckily for them, Gurpreet’s dad shouldered the heavy work of planning.

As they say, if you know what you want, then hard part is half done. The knew they wanted wedding to be homely in Chandigarh and each function be a fun bomb. They decided the theme of the each function first. Rest all work was getting together the star vendor teams that could pull off everything at such a short time. The last thing they wanted was to find out their star makeup artist, or photographer or any other star vendor was already booked. So they first made the a short trip of 10 days to finalise the most important things book venue and other vendor team. On top, to make sure they given enough time to get their choice of colours in the wedding wear outfits they also decided them during this visit. Believe me those Insta worthy heavy designer lehengas can take months to be made. Rest of the details and personalisations were decided remotely to give unique touches and memories to every event.
