Rustic, Contemporary Wedding Held at Goa

Adithi and Varun’s story spans a decade. A decade of good and bad times and plenty of roadblocks. But contrary to what people say about letting go of things, they decided to hold on to each other and people around them. Now, because they chose not to let go, they pulled off a forest wedding in the backyard of one of those beautifully rustic Goan villas.
What we loved about this Goa wedding is certainly the brilliant décor. From the chalkboard signs, to wonderfully decorated floral arrangements to colourful origami that made the entire venue so much more vibrant, it was just perfect for a contemporary wedding couple with a fun side.
Look out for the cute li’l doggy that graced the pictures adorably!

MEHNDI

Adithi celebrated her Mehndi function at the Goan villa with a fun-filled set of her near and dear ones, donning on a red kurta with subtle yellow details and a matching floral headpiece. The villa was decorated in floral strings of yellow and white that complimented the bride-to-be’s choice of attire. Yellow floral headpieces were worn all the girls. The entire function was rather casual and laid-back.

SANGEET

The yellow and white floral strings that adorned the Mehndi function were carried on into the Sangeet night, accompanied by fairy lights to brighten up the venue. The couple also had a lit-up signboard with their initials. Adithi looked beyond gorgeous in a vermilion lehenga with a gold border. Her statement mang-tikka which was traditional with contemporary hints is what we loved. Varun looked quite handsome himself in a grey blazer, accessorizing with a quirky floral bow-tie.

THE WEDDING

The wedding that followed had just as much of a cheerful air about it. Adithi looked gorgeous in a pink and lime-green saree which she accessorized with minimal jewellery and floral hair adornment. Our groom looked no less dashing in a simple, white ensemble paired with a pink bandhgala. Look out for the adorable and fun moments captured by Varun Suresh!
The wedding décor was certainly pinterest-worthy. Chalkboard signs flanked the gates and were also hung around the venue with fun messages. The floral arrangements and colourful origami are also definitely worth taking away as inspo!
