We would lie if we say that we don't enjoy going through lockdown wedding pictures! Umm.. they have a different set of charm, don't you agree? Despite a pandemic, and time crunch this couple ensured that every detail screamed perfection & inspiration. The blend of minimalism, with elegant, rich outfits and pin-worthy decor, this wedding celebration had it all. With only two weeks in hand, Anusha not only beautiful planned her special day but also looked like no less than a diva. Btw the couple wore coordinated outfits on their wedding day (same color palette), and we loved it!!
Vivek Krishnan photography 's photography added a dash of magic to this whimsical affair. And if you're a couple planning to postpone their wedding due to COVID, we bet, this wedding would inspire you to plan yours ASAP!
Meet Anusha & Praveen
"We were friends at ISB 3 years ago. We lost touch in between and then our families set us up some time last year. We took a few months to get to know each other and see if there was anything here. Everything seemed so perfect that it was an obvious yes from both of us." - shares, Anusha

The Wedding
From The Bride
I always wanted a wedding with only a few of my closest people, an outdoor mandapa, beautiful decor - something less mainstream. Somehow, we were able to achieve all of that despite the pandemic! Planning a wedding during COVID was an absolute rollercoaster ride. Things were changing every day. We planned the whole wedding in just 2 weeks! In addition to the usual wedding planning, we also had to run around to get permission for the wedding. And with the limit of 50 people, It was very hard on both our sides to not invite certain family members. In terms of the venue, all the venues in the city were closed and weren't taking bookings. So we were forced to look at other places or do it at home. That's when we found Aura Foothills, the venue turned out to be so much more than I expected.
Vendor Reviews
Venue
Aura Foothills - Amazing place. There's a house there along with some tent structures (where we conducted the wedding). It's actually at a foothill so you see boulders and rocks very close to the house and also get a beautiful view.
Photography
Vivek Krishnan Photography - Vivek was great to work with. He was flexible with changing the payment terms and was just generally very accommodating. I love that he wore a kurta for both the events we had - Haldi and muhurta. He was dressed for the occasion. Praveen and I absolutely love the pictures we received that too just 2 weeks after the wedding (thanks to COVID :p)
Decor
Chirmi Events - It was amazing. I wouldn't have thought it would come out that great, it truly exceeded our expectations. We were shown some pictures of what it'll be like but nothing prepared us for the final look. The decor was top notch. Very tasteful, elegant, and rich.
