A Mandap by the water, sparklers in the sky and a bride in a blush pink and red Anamika Khanna . Add a Rio Carnival theme with belly dancers and fun props, and you are taken aback by the attention to detail. We loved how each of the functions of Shraddha and Gaurav's wedding are so distinct and fun - a classy French Riviera theme for cocktails, a Rio theme for a welcome lunch and of course, fireworks and a grand mandap by the waters. Photography by Stories by Joseph Radhik is so stunning!
P.S Think we are slightly obsessed with the pale yellow Anamika Khanna lehenga at the carnival - so chic, so unique!

The Cocktail
The Wedding
"The wedding was a beautiful experience and we had a lot of fun. The mehendi was a theme that was so cute - The Rio Carnival theme with a quaint photo booth, lots of floral hair wreaths on everyone, ear cuffs and fun hats for everyone who attended. There were lots of live food counters - even exotic food like Edamame-3 ways or date chaat and waffle sticks. We especially loved the jello margaritas and the frozen liquid nitro cocktails," says Shraddha.
"My favourite though, was the cocktail / sangeet night at the outdoor venue by the canal. It was great weather with Paris House Addicts playing a mix of house, R & B, Bollywood etc and a singer flown down to accompany them. The acts were amazing - among the artists were an illusionist called Mikele, The Tanura Dancers with their Moulin Rouge act and a pyro act followed by Sprungli cake and Champagne fountains," explains Shraddha.
