Our Story

Mehndi The Mehndi ceremony is a traditional Indian wedding celebration that involves applying henna to the bride's hands and feet. This event symbolizes good luck, health, wealth, and positive spirits. This is a festive and lively event! Garba Haldi The Haldi ceremony is a pre-wedding ritual that involves applying a turmeric paste mixed with natural ingredients to the bride and groom's skin. The ceremony is to purify the couple physically and spiritually, and to bring good luck. The ceremony is a time for celebration, laughter, and bonding with family and friends. Wedding A Gujarati wedding ceremony is a vibrant celebration where the bride and groom circle a sacred fire four times, taking seven steps together (Saptapadi) to signify their marital vows. Key moments include the groom applying sindoor (vermilion) on the bride's hair parting and placing a mangalsutra (sacred necklace) around her neck to mark their union.

Q + A

We strongly recommend that you arrive to Nadiad on Sunday, February 1. This will aide us in arranging transportation from the airport to the hotel and give you a couple of days to rest and adjust to the time difference before the wedding festivities begin! At the moment, we are working to provide a recommended option for flights into either Ahmedabad or Vadodara International Airport for our friends to take. This will help us consolidate travel from the airport and make it easier for you to travel in with others. If you intend on taking an alternative flight or arriving at a later date in India, please let us know so we can work on alternative travel plans for you! After the wedding festivities end, we recommend leaving Nadiad on Saturday, February 7. Our wedding will be at night and the celebration will likely leak into the early morning. This means you can rest on Friday before traveling back to the states on Saturday. We will also be arranging travel from the hotel to the airport, so please let us know if you either plan to leave Nadiad on a different day or will be traveling to another part of India after our wedding.
