The Love Story
Pavni and Somen’s love story began in college, where they met and became inseparable as sweethearts. Their journey together reached a beautiful milestone on December 14, 2023, when they celebrated their wedding at Wyndham Mohali Club and Forest Hill Resort in Chandigarh. Despite the challenges of planning an interfaith wedding, their special day was a perfect blend of cultures, love, and heartfelt traditions.
A Day of Dual Ceremonies
Anand Karaj
The morning began with an Anand Karaj ceremony, which was especially significant and emotional for Pavni. She wore a custom-made suit adorned with her late mother’s dupatta, a piece that held deep sentimental value. Pavni’s quest for the perfect outfit took her across Delhi and Punjab, from Ludhiana to Patiala, Amritsar, and Chandigarh. It wasn’t until she visited Babi Grewal in Chandigarh that she found the reassurance and love she needed. Babi Aunty, with her confidence and warmth, crafted the suit exactly as Pavni envisioned, allowing the focus to remain on her mother’s cherished dupatta and the jewelry her mother had bought for her nine years ago.
Night Pheras
For the evening pheras, Pavni chose to deviate from the traditional red. Having already worn pink for the morning ceremony, she opted for a stunning golden lehenga by Payal Keyal. This choice reflected her desire to create a unique and memorable look for the night, ensuring each ceremony had its distinct style and significance.
Capturing the Moments The wedding was beautifully documented by Safarsaga Films, led by Naina Nanda. Their creative team captured every candid and heartfelt moment, preserving the memories of Pavni and Somen’s special day.
Custom Outfits for Mehandi and Haldi
Pavni’s creativity shone through in her Mehandi and Haldi outfits, which she customized from scratch. She personally selected the materials and worked with her local boutique aunt to tailor them perfectly. These outfits added a personal touch to the pre-wedding celebrations, making them even more special
Pavni’s makeup for the wedding was flawlessly executed by makeup artist Sahil Malhotra and for Haldi Pritika Keswani. Their expertise ensured that Pavni looked stunning throughout the day, complementing her elegant outfits and enhancing her natural beauty.
Advice from the Bride
Pavni’s journey through planning her wedding was a testament to her dedication and love for her family and traditions. Her advice to future brides is to cherish every moment and focus on what truly matters. The sentimental value of her mother’s dupatta and the personal touch in her custom outfits added a depth of meaning to her wedding day that went beyond aesthetics.
Pavni and Somen’s wedding was a beautiful blend of two cultures, filled with love, tradition, and personal touches. From the emotional significance of Pavni’s mother’s dupatta to the stunning golden lehenga for the Hindu pheras, every detail was thoughtfully planned. The creative vision of Safarsaga Films and the skilful makeup by Pritika Keswani ensured that their special day was captured and celebrated in all its beauty. Their story serves as an inspiration for couples planning interfaith weddings, showing that with love and dedication, it’s possible to honour both traditions and create a memorable and meaningful celebration.
