Sunny & Shivani – A Destination Wedding in Udaipur

GIVE ME SOME SUNSHINE!
Sunny and Shivani’s destination wedding in Udaipur was exactly what they envisioned—intimate, energetic, and full of heart. Originally from Delhi, the couple was clear from the start: they didn’t want a typical city wedding. They wanted a space where their closest friends and family could truly let loose and celebrate. And the majestic Taj Aravalli turned out to be the perfect setting.

From heartfelt moments to wild dance floors, every part of this wedding was high on emotion and even higher on energy. And it all began with a warm and cozy evening under the stars.

Bonfire Night

Every destination wedding in Udaipur should start with a relaxed Bonfire Dinner—an evening that brought both families together before the madness began. With a glowing fire at the center and string lights overhead, the atmosphere was just right for stories, laughter, and bonding. Drinks flowed, the live band set the mood, and Shivani made her entrance in a stunning red outfit that perfectly matched the vibe—effortlessly glamorous but ready to party. By the end of the night, everyone was on their feet, dancing, cheering, and setting the tone for the madness that was to follow.

Mehendi Masti: Colour, Dance, and Chaos

The next morning exploded into colour. The mehendi was a riot of pop-art decor, flower-laden swings, and a whole lot of dancing in the sun. Shivani looked stunning in a pastel mirror-work lehenga, while Sunny pulled off a custom printed bandhgala with serious swagger.

Guests were greeted with colour bombs (literally), signature cocktails, and games that had even the parents showing off their beer pong skills. Shivani’s bridesmaids had their moment on the dance floor, and Sunny didn’t hold back on the cheerleading.

The highlight? A surprise moment where Sunny got down on one knee — again — just because he felt like it.

This function was full tilt, full colour, full heart.

The Sangeet: Starlight, sparks and a whole lot of love!

As the sun set over Udaipur, the vibe turned glam for Sunny and Shivani’s Sangeet night. Guests walked through a futuristic neon tunnel into a space bursting with LED lights, starry chandeliers, and serious party energy.

As behests a destination wedding in Udaipur, the couple made a grand entrance, hand-in-hand, through a tunnel of sparklers—before surprising everyone with an emotional ring exchange on stage. From there, the night exploded with energy.

Family performances, surprise dances, and a dreamy couple’s first dance set the tone. It ended the only way a Sangeet like this should: with everyone on the dance floor, arms in the air, hearts full.

A Sunshine Soaked Haldi

The morning of the Haldi was drenched in golden light and overflowing with laughter. Set against a backdrop of fresh banana leaves and marigold drapes, the decor embraced traditional elements with a cheerful yellow palette. Friends and family arrived in coordinated shades of mustard and sunshine, setting the tone for a morning filled with joy.

The bride looked radiant in her yellow outfit, accented with floral jewellery, as she was lovingly smeared with haldi by her friends and family. The groom wasn’t spared either—his buddies made sure he got a full dose of haldi, water and mischief. There were surprise water attacks, flying petals, and a whole lot of playful chaos, ending in drenched outfits and happy hearts.

It was a true celebration of love and tradition—intimate, emotional, and wonderfully messy in the best way possible.

The Wedding

The wedding day was nothing short of magical. Held at the stunning Taj Aravalli in Udaipur, the couple had planned everything down to the minute — especially the Jaimala at sunset. It was one of the key reasons they chose this venue, with its elevated platform overlooking the hills and cascading water — and they were determined to make that golden hour moment perfect.

Sunny, ever the planner, even fast-tracked his own baraat so they’d arrive just in time. And it was worth it. As the sun dipped behind the hills, the couple exchanged the jaimala on a stage set amidst soft clouds of colour smoke and a sea of florals — a frame that looked like it belonged in a dream sequence.

From a grand bridal entry under a floral chaadar to teary-eyed parents at the pheras, the evening was filled with emotions and quiet magic. Everything about this wedding felt elegant, effortless, and soaked in love.

This wedding was the perfect blend of grandeur and emotion — from vibrant haldi chaos to that picture-perfect sunset jaimala. Every moment felt meaningful, and every detail was beautifully brought to life. A big shoutout to SM Weddings (thesmgroup.in) for planning and executing it all to perfection.
