Arabia Style Welcome
From the moment guests arrived, the festivities began with a grand Qatari-inspired welcome that featured lively mascots, a traditional karak chai station, and the magical release of birds soaring into the sky. Instead of standard hampers, guests received carefully curated, personalized gifts, setting the tone for a tailor-made experience at every step of the celebration.
The Wedding
The ceremony felt straight out of a fairytale, draped in delicate pastel tones that brought the setting to life. A dreamlike mandap by the water’s edge became the centerpiece, where the gentle waves seemed to carry blessings with every ripple. Shades of blush and ivory bathed the space in a soft, romantic glow, while Popular Decorator transformed the venue with exquisite floral artistry and a flawlessly elegant setup. Every element came together in harmony, creating a moment as magical as the love it celebrated.
The Mehendi
The Mehendi came alive in a burst of bohemian charm, playful, bold, and full of character. The décor featured eye-catching stripes, vibrant florals, and eclectic accents, creating an atmosphere that radiated joy and creativity. Every corner reflected a sense of fun and flair, perfectly embodying the spirit of the occasion. The explosion of color and personality was beautifully documented through the lens of Raabta Studios, capturing memories as vivid as the celebration itself.
