In the royal city of Patiala, where tradition meets timeless charm, unfolded a love story that feels like poetry. For Manpreet and Ravneet, their real Punjabi wedding wasn’t just about grand celebrations — it was about finding calm in the storm, blending legacy with modern love, and creating memories that feel like home.
When Two Worlds Found Each Other
Manpreet moved to Canada in 2022. A year later, through her father’s friend, destiny introduced her to Ravneet. From their very first meeting, she felt something deeply grounding — as if all the noise around her suddenly faded. “It felt like home,” she says softly, describing the comfort and peace she found in Ravneet’s presence.
When it came to planning their wedding, there was no hesitation. Both knew that Patiala, with its history, family roots, and familiarity, was where their hearts belonged. Surrounded by loved ones, they chose to tie the knot in the city that holds generations of stories for their families.
The Bridal Wardrobe
The Engagement Look
For her engagement, Manpreet collaborated with Akriti by Ritika, a designer whose work she had admired for long. From the very first sketch to the final fitting, every detail was personal. The result? A stunning custom outfit that blended modern sophistication with bridal grace. Her engagement makeup was done by Harman Jatana, who created a flawless, natural glow that allowed Manpreet’s excitement and happiness to shine through.
The Wedding Day
For her wedding day, Manpreet always knew she wanted to wear red — but not the predictable all-red. After searching through several designers, she found her perfect lehenga at Ameeran (Delhi). The embroidery was delicate yet powerful, reflecting her personal style while also carrying a sentimental connection: it resembled her mother’s wedding outfit, creating a quiet tribute to family heritage.

Her bridal makeup was done by her dear friend and schoolmate Harnoor Shergill (Backstage with Noor Shergill). Having someone who has known her since childhood made the experience even more special. Harnoor didn’t just create a look — she brought calmness, comfort, and an extra dose of love while preparing Manpreet for the biggest moment of her life.

Photography
The heart of their wedding was captured through the artistic eye of Gagan from Wander Weddings. More than a photographer, Gagan became an invisible part of their celebration — blending into moments rather than staging them. His ability to capture raw, unfiltered emotions resulted in a wedding album that feels as real and alive today as it did on the day of the ceremonies.
“Every time we look at our pictures, we don’t just see the moments. We feel them again,” Manpreet shares.

Every element carried thought and meaning, making their Patiala wedding truly feel like their own.

The Journey Beyond the Wedding
Today, Manpreet and Ravneet have been married for six beautiful months. And while weddings are often remembered for their grandeur, their favorite memory remains something much simpler: a quiet, late-night drive through Patiala after all the wedding chaos had ended. As they revisited every ceremony in conversation that night, they found joy not in the extravagance, but in simply being together.
A Word for Future Punjabi Brides
Manpreet’s advice for future brides planning their own real Punjabi wedding is simple but powerful:
“Don’t get lost in the madness of wedding planning. This day is about your story — make decisions that feel true to you, not just what the trends say.”
