A Whimsical Goa Wedding Which Just Set a New Benchmark for Personalisation!

If weddings could talk, this one would probably narrate a 14-year-long love story — complete with high-school nostalgia, Parisian proposals, and a very pampered pooch named Nawab!

Set against the serene sea views of La Cabana Resort and Spa Goa, this celebration wasn’t just another beach wedding; it was a scrapbook of memories turned into reality. With Royal Gala Weddings★ 4.9 bringing every Pinterest board dream to life, the vibe flowed seamlessly from a pastel Paris-themed mehendi to a neon afterparty and a tropical wedding by the sea — each one reflecting exactly who they are: fun, heartfelt, and madly in love! From Nawab “attending” every function in the most adorable ways to a thousand thoughtful details (think custom T-shirts, guest wish trees, sufi music, and even a McDonald’s counter at the afterparty!) — this wedding is pure inspiration for every couple who wants their big day to feel like them.

About The Wedding

The wedding took place on January 30, 2025. Our wedding was a reflection of our 14-year journey — from schoolmates to soulmates. We got married on January 30th, 2025 on our 14th anniversary date , exactly 14 years after he first proposed, during a sunset beach ceremony in Goa that felt both timeless and deeply personal.

We envisioned a celebration that was heartfelt and stylish, with every event telling a part of our story. From a pastel Parisian garden-inspired Mehendi to a high-energy neon afterparty and a tropical beach carnival, each detail captured who we are — playful, romantic, and full of love.It wasn’t just a wedding; it was a celebration of our journey and the people who shaped it.

Unique Ideas & Personalisation

• A furry VIP: Included their dog Nawab in every function, making him part of the celebration despite not travelling to Goa.

• Meaningful décor: From welcome boards to a champagne wall & a book of their love story — every detail was personal.

• One-of-a-kind moments:
  • Live sufi singing for entries & varmala instead of a DJ track.
  • Handmade veil with Paris proposal details & haldi dupatta embroidered with the groom’s name.
  • Parisian-themed mehendi with vows exchanged, macarons & a mini Eiffel Tower.
  • Nostalgic McDonald’s counter at the after-party.
  • Custom T-shirts for guests: “Sonal’s wedding” featuring Robin.
  • DIY keepsake box with personal treasures & a childhood-photo brooch for the groom.
  • Multiple guest message stations — audio book, guest book & wish tree.
  • A “walk down memory lane” with photos from each year of their 14-year journey.
  • Hidden Harry Potter-inspired messages woven into the wedding.
  • A custom coffee bar serving Vietnamese cold brew & a playful “Love you a latte” menu.

About The WedMeGood App

From discovering beautiful decor inspiration to finding verified vendors across cities, the app helped us streamline our planning process — especially for a destination wedding like ours. The real bride reviews and filters made it easy to shortlist vendors, makeup artists, and decorators who fit our style and budget. It was so much easier to reach out to venues/ vendors that we liked through the app and short list the same. I have a whole section of saved ideas on my insta just from WedMeGood insta posts that inspired me that I actually included in my wedding.

Vendor Reviews

Venue: La Cabana Resort and Spa Goa

It's a beautiful resort overlooking the sea with beautiful sunset views of the quiet turtle nesting Ashvem beach . As we don't live in India we saw some 17 venues in 2 days but as soon as I saw the main wedding venue at La Cabana I could see myself getting married right there.

Decor: Royal Gala Weddings★ 4.9

They understood my vision and brought it to reality and personalized everything just how I wanted it.

Makeup Artist: Shefali Saini Makeup

Shefali is great at what she does, the best part was that she understood my vision of what I wanted and also was able to work with my skin tone. She is very diverse with her work, from my modern parisian soiree look to my traditional sabya look she nailed all of them and made me look like a dream.

They were able to manage the 100s of the elements I had at the wedding and everything went smoothly.

Photography: Believe Collective★ 4.9

Ujjwal is extremely talented and we love working with him specially when it comes to his candid shots. He also did the proposal shoot for us in Paris and we just love how he captures the raw vibe of the moment. We just our pre wedding in this quaint little town in the south of France called Etretat along with the Palace of Versailles and the pictures do all the justice to what we wanted.

Bridal Jewellery: Raabta By Rahul★ 4.8

After looking for wedding jewelery everywhere, Raabta was love at first sight, it was perfect and looked so elegant with my Sabya lehenga. I loved the quality and service both.
