Weddings transport us to new places and moods. The romance in the air is so evident that everyone present is just engulfed by the warm vibes. We experienced this magic at Bhavana Rameshkumar and Charan's Wedding, a journey that began with the couple's engagement and culminated in a wedding ceremony and grand celebration at the Royal Bangalore Palace.
The stunning bride Bhavana Rameshkumar (More on her Instagram Profile and blog) hails from Bangalore and the suave groom Charan is from Chikmagalur in Karnataka. Keep an eye out for charming pictures of Bhavana Rameshkumar’s father and her sister Shruthi Rameshkumar.

A Match Like No Other
The engagement ceremony, hosted at the beautiful Ganapathi temple in Sadashivnagar, was a traditional and tasteful affair, rich in its colour scheme that set the perfect mood for the start of a new journey.
Bhavana Rameshkumar was an embodiment of beauty and serenity, while Charan looked regal in his traditional attire. Through the engagement ceremony, Charan and Bhavana would steal silent glances at each other, ready to embrace their journey of love and commitment to each other. Charan got down on his knee and put a ring on Bhavana's finger, and the bride planted a kiss on his cheek.
A Special Furry Guest
Towards the end of the ceremony, an unlikely guest joined in - Bhavana's beloved canine confidently posed for pictures.
Needless to say, he smiled adorably for the cameras, and instantly became the star of the moment!
Celebrating Under The Stars
The engagement ceremony was followed by a celebration in the beautiful open-air lawns at The White Petals, Palace Ground on a moonlit night. There was cake-cutting, drinks, dancing and a whole lot of fun.
Charan looked dapper in a black tux, while Bhavana looked absolutely stunning in a ensemble by Anushree Reddy, with subtle western silhouettes.
An Intimate Ceremony
The wedding ceremony was hosted in the Kannadiga style, at the grand Bangalore Palace. Located in Inner Bangalore, the palace is known for its architectural and historical significance and was the perfect venue for a tasteful marriage celebration.
Charan was escorted in warmly by Bhavana Rameshkumar's father and mother. The auspicious thali ceremony took place, and when the thali was tied, all the guests cheered with joy.
The other traditional ceremonies like the Saptapati and Arundhati were also hosted. The bridal couple stepped out briefly for some of the ceremonies, which were both playful and fun. The Kanyadaan, a defining moment in a bride's life, was an emotional experience and brought tears to Bhavana's eyes, as well as that of her parents.
A Grand Celebration
The guest list for the wedding was a power-packed one and included celebrities like Kannada cinema actor, producer Puneeth Rajkumar. Former chief minister SM Krishna also attended the wedding.
Built in the 1800s, the Bangalore Palace was an apt venue for Bhavana Rameshkumar and Charan's wedding. The yellow ballroom, with its vintage arching chandeliers, pictures and paintings, was the perfect backdrop for a stunning post wedding-shoot.
A Picture-Perfect Wedding
The formidable-looking regal exteriors of the Palace, built in the Tudor revival architecture-style, made for some candid wedding pictures. The bride and groom were naturals in front of the camera, and their love, respect and commitment to each other spoke volumes in the photographs.
We wish the happy couple love, luck and joy in their new journey together!
