Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort, Thailand: A High Energy Destination Wedding
A wedding is the beautiful beginning of a happily-ever-after story sprinkled with generous doses of love and laughter.
Nilufer and Deepit’s destination wedding was a true illustration of all this and more. The young and charming couple celebrated their marriage with an abundance of fun, dance, and memorable moments.
The beautiful couple wanted their destination wedding to take place in a dreamy setting, surrounded by their loved ones. They selected the Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort in Bangkok, Thailand, as their wedding venue.
This luxury waterfront resort offered an amazing ambience for the wedding events, coupled with an impressive view of the Chao Phraya River.
The Fun-Filled Mehndi Event
A vibrant Mehndi event marked the start of the wedding celebrations for Nilufer and Deepit. The event was organized at a floral-decked venue that overlooked the riverfront and offered an incredible view.
The charming bride managed to draw all eyes towards her. Her gorgeous yellow and pink outfit and flower jewellery made her look no less than a princess. The groom looked equally striking in his earthy pink and white attire.
The fun event included a lot of dancing and drinking. Even though the bride’s hands were covered in Mehndi, she was full of enthusiasm and posed for quite a few stunning shots.
The family members shared the excitement of the couple with equal gusto. We captured some candid shots of the couple while they shared some moments just with each other, away from everyone else.
The Lively Sangeet Ceremony
The Sangeet was all about fun dances by the couple as well as their loved ones. For this event, the bride adorned a stylish layered grey gown with intricate silver work that enhanced her beauty.
She accessorized the gown with sleek jewellery and kept her hair loose for maximum impact. To complement the look of his bride, the groom went in favour of a black tuxedo suit. As the stunning couple stood side by side, they made a picture-perfect pair.
The highlight of the evening was the ring exchange ceremony. When the groom kneeled on one knee to slip the ring on his would-be bride’s finger, she blushed with happiness. We captured this perfect moment for the couple, along with several other moments from the night.
As the night progressed, everyone took to the dance floor. The couple also showed off their dance moves along with the others. We had a lot of fun capturing the happy faces of everyone as they got into the celebratory mood and turned the Sangeet ceremony into a memorable night.
The Mesmerising Wedding Ceremony
For the wedding, an open-air mandap was set up at the venue. It looked spectacular, decked up in pink fabric and plenty of flowers in pastel shades. The Chao Phraya River served as the backdrop of the mandap.
The groom dressed in off-white for the big day of his life. He sported a bejewelled and turbaned look, which made him look all the more handsome.
The baaratis started for the wedding venue with a lot of dancing to the beats of energizing music. They boarded a cruise to sail to the wedding venue in style. The fun and dancing continued on the cruise as well.
On her part, the bride dressed up in a pink lehenga for the wedding. She completed the look by wearing stone-studded jewellery. When it was time for her to reach the mandap, she walked under a phoolon ki chaadar held by her brothers.
As part of the wedding ceremony, the couple exchanged garlands and took pheras around the fire. In keeping with the traditions, the groom put sindoor or vermillion on his bride’s forehead.
We were delighted to shoot this lovely destination wedding. The fun, frolic, and fabulous décor provided us with ample scope to capture the vibe. But what we loved shooting most was the young couple in love. The glow on their faces was a testimony of their happiness, and we made sure to take various candid shots of the couple to treasure that look forever.
