The bride shared: “This day was also to honour our parents who have been the most supportive throughout our lives, and which has led us to this beautiful day. Honouring them during the wedding rituals led by the priest was moving and very meaningful. There was a candid moment of fumbling that happened onstage when our parents on both sides were reciting unfamiliar words after the priest. We all tried our best to stay serious while words were mispronounced, but eventually burst into laughter, including the priest!”
In terms of décor, the bride only had a specific design request for the stage and was confident enough to give Nas, the founder of Munstara Events, the freedom to decide everything else. “The theme that we picked aligned with Nas’ style and he was very pleasant and understanding during all our discussions leading up to the wedding, which led to me trusting him,” explained the bride. “He did not disappoint. It was much easier to work with options that were available rather than insisting on exact little details.”
To retain that element of surprise yet stay true to their understated style, the couple were both dressed in silver attire instead of the usual red and gold commonly used in Indian weddings. They decided instead that the bridesmaids and groomsmen would be dressed in red. Intent on honouring the individual personalities of her bridesmaids, the bride commissioned sarees in slightly different hues of red and with unique borders attached.
In an effort to reduce wastage and be environmentally conscious, the newlyweds made DIY wedding favours of snack packs filled with Indian tidbits. These were packed in recycled packaging that had self-designed stickers with their wedding hashtag on it. They opted for digital wedding invitations instead of physical ones, which proved to be so much more effective as they live abroad.
