How did you plan your wedding?
Our wedding couldn't have happened without the hard work
of Tania Tapel weddings. We found Tania-Tapel through our
catering company that we used on the wedding day.
Tania-Tapel were the most helpful and friendly team of
people that we came across during the process of
organising our wedding. Planning our wedding was such an
enjoyable experience, they helped us with planning the
agenda for the day, contacted our suppliers to ensure they
were all there on time and that everyone had exactly what
they needed on the day.
It can turn out to be a very stressful day but luckily we
had the team at Tania Tapel taking care of the things that
mattered!
I would definitely recommend Tania-Tapel. If you want to
be 100% confident that the wedding will be a memorable
occasion and something that you can enjoy without having
to worry about a thing on the day then it's worth it!
What did the bride wear?
For the ceremony I wore a pink and green lengha, the
colour combination was actually put together by Kan and I
was totally amazed by the outcome. I always knew that I
did not want to wear red and for something to look so good
without actually knowing how the colours would turn out
was great!
At the reception I wore a turquoise lengha again designed
by the same company I was extremely pleased with the way
it looked on the day.
The tiara and jewellery that I wore on my wedding day was
all brought from Delhi. For the morning ceremony I wore a
green jewel set with earrings to match with a tikka.
For the reception outfit I wore a diamond set, the outfit
was turquoise but had some lovely white stones in it
therefore the set really complimented the outfit. I saved
the tiara for the reception, it was something that I would
never wear again but wanted to at the wedding to feel that
extra bit special.
The shoes I brought were from Jimmy Choo and were cream
with a jewel encrusted rose on each sandal.
What did the groom wear?
For our morning ceremony Kan wore a heavily embroidered
sherwani to match the colours that I wore for the
ceremony. The outfit was put together by a designer in
Mumbai who made sure the colours Kan wore complimented my
outfits.
At the reception Kan wore a black outfit in the style of
an English suit but with an Indian touch, the suit jacket
had an intricate design with very stylish embroidery and
the trousers made from raw silk again designed in Mumbai.
Describe the ceremony. Were there any
particularly memorable moments?
We had approximately 300 guests at our wedding ceremony
and decided that we would have a grand reception with 600
guests later on in the evening. Every moment was memorable
and the moment we saw each other for the first time on the
big day, it was hard to hold back the tears of happiness.
Tell Us About The Reception?
The theme for our reception was all white with white
roses and some greenery to compliment. The setting was
idyllic; walking down the stairs into the hall was an
experience in itself, the flower arrangements on each
table looked out of this world. The walk way that Kan and
I walked down again had big flower arrangements placed on
crystal stands all adding to the ambience.
The reception ended at 9.00pm, we had Jazzy B play at our
reception and everyone was on the dance floor, we all know
how hard it is to leave the dance floor at a wedding
party.
What Kind Of Food Did You Have?
We had Pink Champagne at the Champagne reception with
floating canapés which consisted of Paneer ke gole,
vegetable cocktail samose, a live cooking stall for the
chaat, machli amritsari and gilafi seekh kebab.
The main course comprised of dal makhani, dum aloo,
stuffed bhaingan, adrakhi gosht, chicken makhani, rice and
a mixture of naan breads. The dessert was a concoction of
3 lovely specialities, Choca Mocha Cappuccinos, Gulab
Jamun and Mango Kulfi.
Our cake was a lovely white chocolate 4 tier, with
gorgeous white roses on each tier. We wanted the cake to
match our colour theme in the hall which again was white
roses.
What Was Your First First Dance?
Tere Bin from the movie Bas Ek Pal
Where Did You Go On Honeymoon?
We spent the first night at Grosvenor House, I actually
had my doli from home so we travelled back to Surrey for
this and then drove to Kan's, my new home, to carry out
the traditions. Once these were completed, Kan and I made
our way back into London to the hotel.
Our first destination was San Francisco we stayed here
for a few nights and did all our shopping! Tahiti was our
second destination and it was very relaxed and extremely
hot. We then flew on to Bora Bora which was absolute
paradise.
It was an incredible honeymoon destination with clear
blue water and white sandy beaches with not a cloud in the
sky. If there is one place that I would visit time and
time again it would most definitely be Bora Bora. Our last
destination was Los Angeles, we stayed in Hollywood and
made sure we got round to see all the sights.
