Who doesn't dream of a beach wedding?
And what place can be better than Goa to do that?
Goa is not a place, it's a feeling.
Khushboo, our lovely bride, had it all set in her mind.
She was our first bride to have her wedding journal ready, in which she had a collection of ideas put together for her dream wedding.
It was a wedding in South Goa, where the bride's family came from Dubai, while the groom's family came from the USA and Delhi, and many relatives and friends from all over the world.
From welcoming the guests to the actual wedding, the beach wedding tone was set with flower garlands, coconut water was served, and of course, the sundowners!
A Punjabi style mehendi was followed by a vibrant pool party. Rain Dance & the dreamcatcher bar made everyone easily bear the scorching heat of summer.
Haldi was a traditional ceremony whereas, the neon sangeet with some touching family performances swept the invitees off their feet.
Khushboo selected a cherry blossom theme for the beach wedding, with the significance of their proposal day surrounded by cherry blossoms.
The Vidhi mandap stood beautifully on the beach-side, clad with artificial cherry blossoms, and the sunset added a tone of pink to the sky to blend in the theme.
For each function, the entry was planned very thoughtfully and in sync with the theme.
Smoke color bombs, neon Dhol walas, special entry for the wedding which moved everyone.
A special attraction was the dancing paan walas who made everyone dance on the Bollywood classics and had some amazing combinations of paan.
The outfit of the bride and groom was designed with utmost detail, according to the theme and perfect for their personalities.
Our most favorite one was the bridal outfit for a wedding, the lehenga on which the skyline of Dubai and New York was embroidered. Khushboo looked like a Prettiest Doll, just like everyone fondly calls her.
The wedding took place at sunset at the beach with a breeze spreading the joy around, and with live music of chanting pandits creating a beautiful memory for everyone!
