Glam Hometown Wedding With The Bride In A Shimmery Mint Lehenga!

Oh the gorgeous outfits! Yup, that's the first thing that stood out for us in this glamorous pre-Corona wedding. The bride and the groom live in California, but chose to have their wedding in their hometown Meerut with all near and dear ones, which ended up being a destination wedding for the couple themselves! From her pretty outfits to simple yet stunning hairstyles, we loved Vipra's looks, and Lenseyezia Productions★ 4.9 captured the wedding beautifully.

Meet Vipra & Ramkinker

I met my husband 10 years back during our undergrad. We became friends and soon started dating. Finally, after dating for 10 years, we decided to seal the deal. We now live in California.

The Wedding

From the Bride: 

Our wedding was on 12th Jan 2020. At the wedding, we wanted everything very natural but aesthetic. We wanted the 3 days of our wedding to be fun but without compromising on the traditions and emotions. Hence, on all the days we had a full packed day of traditions and customs with the family, and the evening was filled with fun, music, and dance. We tried to have different color themes for decoration of the events but because of my love for color, we had a colorful theme for Mehandi. I always wanted to have a day's winter wedding and hence the wedding was organized in such a way that throughout the wedding we have a good winter sun. Also, thanks to this we had the full family crowd throughout the wedding till the vidai. We hate the idea that when weddings start in the evening, the pheras which are the main wedding custom in Hinduism, happens late at night due to which most of your close ones and grandparents are not present. We wanted a good traditional wedding where our parents and grandparents are at ease & in full comfort and can see us getting married like how each grandparent always dream. We wanted the blessings of every single person who has had an important role in our lives.

We didn't have any fancy invitation. We personally called every guest multiple times and made sure they are coming to give it a personal touch. Parents were not the only people who invited them.

Vendor Reviews

Venue

Hotel Bravura Gold Resort, Meerut, UP. The hotel is huge with lots of rooms for a destination wedding. They have multiple halls and lawns for all types of events. But the best thing about them is their staff and management. They are very cooperative and hospitable. They became a part of the family and made sure we didn't have any problem. The food was another thing that people loved. They took care of all the catering of the 3 days and provided us some a variety of delicious food and snacks.

Makeup Artist

Rimani Mahajan. Insta handle: makeupbyrimanimahajan. She is an amazing MUA. I feel she was one of the best vendors at our wedding. She handled both mine and ram's make-up. We asked her for fully natural make-up and she did a great job at it. After we finalized her, she got in touch with us 1 month before and got all details of our outfits and event timings, and according to those she had some amazing idea for the make-up. I loved all my looks at the wedding.

Photographer

Lenseyezia Productions. They were one of the amazing vendors at our wedding. We got in touch with them very early during our wedding planning and I think that played out well. Akanksha became like a dear friend to us and understood what we were looking for from our wedding pictures. She and her team of photographers and videographers are amazing at capturing every single moment and the emotion of that moment. They are a highly energetic and enthusiastic team. They understood that even though we have been dating for 10 years, we were very awkward in front of the camera especially for romantic pictures but they were so amazing at making the moment light and comfortable for us that the pictures define our love perfectly. I think, and I speak for both of us, that I don't think any other photographer could have captured our love better.

Decor

Gaurav Decorator, Meerut. He is one of the top decorators in Meerut. He was the decorator for us for all the 3 days. He spent a lot of time with us before the wedding to understand the color themes that we were thinking of for different events. He took note of the outfit colors of ours and suggested decoration colors accordingly. As it was a winter wedding, he suggested using real flowers on the main day and the outcome was amazing.
