10 Things We Absolutely Adored About This Epic Carnival Mehendi!

Amala and Aditya’s wedding was nothing short of a grand, gorgeous celebration,  but if there was one event that truly stole the show, it was their carnival-themed mehendi! Think colours, games, music, nostalgia and so many quirky details that had everyone grinning from ear to ear. This wasn’t just a mehendi, it was a full-blown experience. From fun food to playful décor, adorable throwbacks and pampering corners, the vibe was effortlessly cool and incredibly memorable.

Here are the 10 things that made this carnival mehendi one of the most fun, vibrant and talked-about events we’ve seen in a long time!

Detox Bar

Amid all the cocktails and bubbly, this mehendi featured a super refreshing detox bar, loaded with goodies. It was the perfect pit stop to re-energise and stay hydrated, ensuring everyone had the stamina to enjoy every single carnival game and dance move.

The Bride’s Unique Look

Amala totally owned the carnival vibe with her playful bridal look. The funky blue eyeliner, a gorgeous parandi, chunky jewellery and even a Lays chips bag as her quirky accessory! Fun, fearless, and fabulous! She proved that bridal style doesn’t have to be all serious and traditional. The bride wore Arpita Mehta and the groom donned Jayesh & Kaajal Shah

Quirky Décor

The décor truly brought the carnival theme alive, with giant, quirky face cut-outs with floral hai and cutesy elephant centrepieces adding so much character to the space. Every corner was Instagram-worthy - colourful, playful and larger-than-life, making guests stop and pose at every turn.

Arcade Worthy Games

This wasn't just a mehendi; it was an arcade dream. No carnival is complete without games, and this one had it all. Foosball, Jenga, mini bowling and even basketball! Guests of all ages got competitive, laughing and cheering each other on. The game stations were always buzzing, proving that everyone loves a bit of good old-fashioned fun.

Personalised Crossword As Placemats

This one was such a genius idea - crossword puzzles printed as placemats on the tables! Guests loved solving them over drinks and bites, and it instantly got everyone chatting and laughing. Plus this was personalised, so you got to know the newlyweds really well to crack this one!

Nostalgia Counter

This one hit us right in the feels. A Nostalgia counter filled with childhood favourites like candies and cuddly teddy bears. It brought out the inner child in everyone. Cute and creative!

A Foot Massage Station

A true saviour for tired feet! Between all the dancing, walking and mingling, guests were treated to a blissful foot massage station. A brilliant touch of luxury and comfort and a great idea when you want your guests smiling!

Live Band On The Dance Floor

What’s a carnival without some killer music? A live band set up right on the dance floor had everyone grooving to peppy beats and classic tunes. The dance floor was electrifying thanks to the incredible live band vibe. The energy was infectious and you can see it in the photos!

Digital Caricaturist

We have seen live caricaturists do it in a traditional style but a digital one is such a fresh idea. It doubles up as both entertainment and a cute little keepsake from the day!

Personalised Menus

This mehendi had a personalised menu with the hosts’ favourite dishes being part of the wedding food. It felt thoughtful, exclusive and tied the whole theme together beautifully.
