A travel-themed wedding? Hell, yes! We loved that about Radhika and Rohan's wedding, which was a beautiful affair in Thailand. They gave their guests a glimpse of their fave cities around the world, and each event had decor that reflected that. From a Turkey-inspired Mehendi to a Singapore-inspired wedding with a mandap like Gardens By The Bay, this is one wedding with ideas galore!
Meet Radhika and Rohan
We crossed paths in Singapore back in 2014 while attending university, and our friendship blossomed into a strong bond. After graduating, our paths diverged as we settled in different countries. He is from India, while I went back home to Thailand. Several years later, in 2022, destiny brought us together once more, reigniting a spark between us. From that point on, we embarked on a romantic journey and began dating, and got married in 2023.

From The Bride:
Our wedding was centered around a 'travel' theme, and we incorporated it into every aspect of our celebration. Right from the entrance, we created an around-the-world ambiance that set the tone for the entire event. Each ceremony and function was dedicated to a different destination that held special meaning to either of us. We kicked off with the Mehndi/Ring Ceremony, where we embraced the charm of Turkey. The Haldi ceremony was a beautiful homage to our Indian roots, a country that is deeply cherished by both of us. For our wedding, we chose a Singapore theme, as it was the place where we first met and spent our university years together, representing a significant chapter in our journey. After the wedding ceremony, we transformed the venue into an airport-themed after-party, symbolizing the start of our new adventure as a married couple. The following day, our pool party exuded the vibrant spirit of Spain, while the grand finale was a lake Como-themed reception cocktail.
