Gorgeous Real Wedding in Winter held at Noor Us Sabah Palace, Bhopal

An intimate Bhopal wedding whose simplicity and gorgeousness completely blew us away. Eshita and Rutvan had a marriage true to its meaning. Simple rituals, raw emotions, and love evident through every picture taken. A homely destination wedding held at Noor Sabah Palace, Bhopal with all the elements of a beautiful winter wedding. Warm colors, bright lights and a whole lot of love.

It was a chilly December wedding and the most vivid memory I have taken back with me is how absolutely cool the two families were with each other. One couldn’t distinguish his side from hers, the Surat guys from the Bhopal guys, and the idealist in me went aww! – Richa Kashelkar, their wedding photographer.

Celebrations began with an intimate and informal Mehendi & Sangeet on the terrace with Eshita and Rutvan’s enthusiastic family putting up Bollywood-worthy dance performances. The men of both the families made sure the ladies’ glasses were continuously refilled while they were getting mehndi done – now isn’t that the way to do it, boys? By the end of this fun, mehndi + sangeet night the Ladke wale from Surat took over and everyone was garba dancing all night long! Loads of fairylights and scalloped drapes bordered the terrace beautifully.

Eshita’s chooda and haldi ceremony was combined into one and it was just plain beautiful. An intimate and homely one, held in the presence of family, friends and loved ones – who laughed and rejoiced as Eshita embarked on this new journey with Rutvan. The cutest moment from this delightful haldi-chooda ceremony was when this stunning bride’s family covered up her eyes and put on her auspicious chooda – a moment so perfectly captured.

Their wedding was held at the opulent Noor Sabah Mahal in Bhopal. The moment we set our eyes on Eshita’s  red flared wedding lehenga embellished with zari motifs and buttis, we were in love! That gorgeous, gorgeous lehenga styled with a shimmery mehndi green dupatta was perfection spelled out in clothes. Rutvan complemented her just right in his beige textured sherwani with red button details.  

A few of our favorite moments from this stunning winter wedding – the dapper grooms entry on a vintage maroon car to match their entire gold and maroon wedding theme, their stunning  all-marigold mandap décor and the brilliant post-wedding couple pictures shot in the hallways of the grand Noor Sabah Palace
