An All-White Nikaah On The Beach That Was Right Out Of A Fairytale

Whoever thought an all-white affair at an Indian wedding would be something that would become trendy and look so poetic on screen. When we came across Zeenat's Nikaah on Instagram, we knew that we just had to feature it. With an outfit fit for a princess and a gorgeous decor on the beach, the wedding was truly dream-like. Her bridal gown was from across the border, and we loved the intricate work on it. What was also super cute about this wedding was the couple's love story- the fact that she slid into his DMs and initiated everything! Take a look at this beautiful union planned by VLW Global by Shruty Tiwari★ 5 - one of our faves that we have featured off late!

We met on Instagram! I added my now husband randomly on Instagram (first random person ever!), slid into his DMs and lo and behold! Two years later we got married. So I can vouch that Instagram is a better way to find the love of your life, than Bumble or Tinder (I do not get paid by Instagram for this marketing lol).

Reception

From The Bride:

Our wedding took place on 22nd March. It was a dream- minimal and elegant, filled with love and laughter!

I wanted each event to have a distinct vibe. Our mehendi was Grecian vibes, with whites, blues and gorgeous pink flowers accentuating the decor. Sangeet was reds and glittery golds, with a lot of shine and shimmer. Our Nikkah was an all white dream on the beach, with mirror walkways, white floral arches, white nikkah chaddar, and elegant crystals across. Our Cocktail party in Hyderabad, had a club neon vibe. And our last and final event, was a complete royalty inspired reception at ChowMahalla Palace.

About WedMeGood

I used the WedMeGood app- it's inspiration galore! I truly think most of my wedding references, be it for makeup, outfits, decor, design were derived from WedMeGood.

Vendor Reviews

Photography: ShutterDown 

My history and friendship with Lakshya began back in 2017, when he photographed my Brothers wedding. Subsequently, the team also photographed my best friends wedding. With such a history, it was but obvious that they were my first choice. Words aren't enough to truly pen down how they captured the wedding. Looking back at the videos, photos, gives me goosebumps each time. It captured the essence of the wedding so perfectly.

Venue: ITC Grand Goa & ITC Kohenur, Hyderabad

Both venues are exquisitely made, service is impeccable and food was delicious!

Makeup Artist: Makeup by Shivangi 

I did not meet anyone who didn't rave about my looks at all 5 events. Shivangi was a dream to work with, especially because she took on board my preferences (especially my dislike for a red lip) with such ease. Extremely professional in her approach, she was so warm and friendly that by the end, we became such good friends!

Wedding Planning: VLW Weddings

Led by Shruti, the team scrambled to make the wedding happen in two months. They took my vision, enhanced it with their own ideas and implemented things to perfection. I especially commend their decor team. Further, coordination of all events was executed well.

Bridal Outfit

My Nikkah outfit was by Suffuse by Sana Yasir. It was elegance personified- seeing the rich hand crafted details left everyone spell bound.

Mehendi Artist: Halima Khan Nizami Arts

Detailed, precision work, beautifully done, especially my wedding logo!
