We love a bride who owns her curves and embraces them on her big day! Real Bride Aakanksha, who happens to also be a member of the WedMeGood family :) nailed all her bridal looks at her wedding, and is truly an inspiration for all plus-sized brides out there. From her bright and happy pick for the mehendi to the pastel pick for her engagement and her gorgeous gota patti lehenga in a unique shade of pink, every look was unique and pretty! We loved the happy warmth her nuptials exuded- take a look for yourselves!
Meet Aakanksha and Vivek
We met on a dating app. A few days of chatting and nerding out together on Marvel, Harry Potter and Lord Of The Rings, we kinda knew that our vibes match. Since then it has been a crazy journey of getting to know each other over long phone calls and even longer coffee dates!

From The Bride:
The wedding took place on 14th April 2022. The wedding was as Indian as it could get! It had the full range of emotions and was 3 days of sheer fun and joy. We had some traditional things like separate Haldi & Mehendi and it was so much fun. It gave both of us time to be completely with our families before we tied the knot.
I have always been a plus-size person and owned it from Day 1. However, when things were first finalised for my wedding, the thought in my head was "Wedding Shopping!! UGH". It is not easy to shop for Bridal outfits in India, especially if your body shape is slightly different from the standard size. And if you are a plus-size person, it's even worse. I had made up my mind that I would pick a lehenga, get it custom made in my size and in case it sucks, I will wear a saree and be done with it. I had made peace with this.
Universe, however, had something else planned for me. I got selected to feature on a reality TV show - Say Yes To The Dress - India, Season 1 and it was an experience that I will forever cherish. The chance for being featured on the show gave me the opportunity to actually try on different wedding lehengas and then choose one - just like a normal-sized bride. The show made me feel beautiful, the stylist chose something that he believed would suit me more rather than what I had envisioned and I cannot express how thankful and glad I was that the show happened. It made me feel like a bride trying on clothes for her wedding.
My entire life I have bought clothes that were available in my size, but at my wedding, I got the clothes I wanted, I got the opportunity to pick and choose and I will forever be grateful. Oh and you can see how gorgeous I looked!!!"

Makeup Artists
Heena Singh - Engagement
Heena was absolutely a delight. She was quite, professional and amazing at her job. She gave me a look that I adored and everyone complimented me all night. The only brief I gave her was that I wanted to enhance my beauty and she did exactly that. Would recommend her to everyone.
Itika Chugh - Wedding
Itika was a dream! I still cannot believe how amazing my bridal makeup was. I trusted her completely and for 2.5 hours she worked her magic and I swear, it was just the best. She legit enhanced my beauty and it was the most elated feeling ever!

We experimented with them during our roka and loved the shots. So, we finalised them for the wedding also, and I must say - it was the best decision. Bharat and his team were like family. They were calm, very very polite, did not say no for anything and knew just how to push me & my husband for the shots. They captured candid moments, plandid moments and traditional shots. Their services were amazing and more than anything else, their attitude was what won us over!
Decor: Rustling Leaves
