A big shout out to our venue partners Holiday Inn, who helped us pull this event through with great panache. The scrumptious menu from the Holiday Inn kitchen was the cherry on the top. Held on 30^th April, 2016 – Several to-be brides and grooms attended the event, met the vendors and found what they were looking for.

Veeda Candles – Wedding Gifting Vendor

Co-operated by Dhruv and Subani for over 9 years, Veeda candles have come a long way right from their mom experimenting in their spare kitchen to a full-time business, now taken over by Subani. A creative instinct passed on from her mum is what has helped them come so far in the business. Learning classic techniques, attending hobby classes and self-study have helped them master their skills in candle making. From the metros, their customer base has now expanded to attending clients in Tier 1 and Tier 2 areas. In today’s day and age, no one wants to give food items as favours. People look for new and different ideas and that’s what Veeda delivers. The concept behind Diwali being the celebration of lights and anything representing lights is considered auspicious and is well appreciated. Candles then become a favourable option. Veeda creates customized hampers for pujas, mehndi ceremony, baby showers, bridal showers and weddings. Destination Weddings and theme weddings are also our specialty where we customize gifting accordingly. Coconut fragrance, mehndi artwork and photographs on candles are some of their special offerings. Price range starts from Rs.200 – 2500/-
