Wedding Functions
Tilak
After a warm welcome at the hotel for their guests, the traditional ceremony of Tilak got the ball rolling.

The bride looked radiant in a multicolored lehenga for the ceremony, while the groom sported a bright red outfit.

Haldi
The Haldi ceremony the next day was the highlight of the whole trip! Inspired by the culture of Kerala, the occasion was infused with the local flavors of Kerala. Bright flowers were interspersed with the lushness of greens and the earthy aesthetics of dried palm, bamboo, and cane for a chic boho vibe. Framed by a backdrop of bamboo, marigold, and origami fans, the couple’s seating was imagined with cane baskets instead of brass urlis. Figurines of classical dancers also added a pop of charm.
