Destination Wedding With A Quintessential Sabyasachi Bride

Now here is a wedding that had so much going for it- right from the venue to the decor, to the bridal entry of course, bridal looks that were picture perfect. Ankita was a timeless Sabyasachi bride in red, a look that's popular for good reason! The decor was classy and beautiful, just the way we like it! Ankita and Dhruv's destination wedding in Chandigarh was an elegant affair, captured to perfection by Nitin Arora Photography.

Meet Ankita and Dhruv

So we met in 2017 through a common friend - our first meeting we both found each other cute and happened to tell our friends that. We had a small chat about his crazy Goa trip, it ended there. Met again after exactly 2 days, the man refused to say hi or acknowledge me. It was too funny. Met again after a couple of days, I was drinking water and he kept asking me how am I so hyper on water and that's how we had our first conversation. Later that night we were heading to another club and he went home - one of our friends randomly called them and convinced them to come to house a - this is all destiny. There we connected, spoke a bit, I added him on Snapchat, and for me there was no looking back then. It took me around 6-8 months to realise I had feelings - but it took him close to 18 months! Hahaha. We never dated - it was the most unsaid yet the most secure relation I've ever been in.

Vendor Reviews

Photography: Nitin Arora Photography

Nitin & Shanaya - I always run out of words to express how amazing these 2 are. I met nitin & Shanaya a day prior to our functions and it was an instant connect with them.. the amount of effort they put in - is unbelievable. They connect with each and every family member and make sure everyone feels important - which i feel is very important. I had a really strange request - the groom hates getting pics clicked so i had told them not to go around Dhruv at all and only focus on candid and they did the most amazing job - we had no interviews, no couple shots and hardly any family pics but if you see our wedding pics and videos - it doesn't look like anything is missing. The entire team was so enthusiastic about each and everything. From fab asthetics to ideas to the delivery - it was the best best experience. Best part about this experience - youll end up with 2 amazing friends and lots of content ( if you're obsessed with pics as much as I am)

Makeup Artist: Simran Takkar

This lady is a vibe. She's so full of love and positivity - everything around her seems so easy. Again, someone who believes in making relationships. My mom was always so against getting her make up done cos she's never got it done - but with simran ji - it was all so smooth and best part was my father's review - he could not get his eyes off mom. For me, as the bride i wanted to connect with everyone involved in my wedding and needless to say - i found the perfect person. She helped me get ready just like my mother would. From getting me dressed till my varmala entry - she didn't leave my side. Its a blessing to have met you simran ji. Thank you!!

Decor: Devika Narain

Devika is someone who brings your dreams to reality. She makes the entire set up so magical and at the same time so personalized. Her attention to detail - whether it’s the design of the coasters at the sangeet or the wishing& advice tree which was full of our pics from when we met to the bridal entry concept- she makes it so intimate. Thank you for providing a perfect backdrop to our special day.
