The wedding festivities included colorful pre-wedding events like Mehndi, a Welcome Party with an Italian theme, Haldi adorned with yellow and white decor, and a Sangeet blending Tulum-inspired elements with Indian traditions.

The reception exuded elegance with classic black and white decor, white flowers, and ambient lighting effects like fog and sparklers. The newlyweds made a grand entrance to Swag Surfin’, setting the tone for a night of celebration.
