The Art of Wedding Planning

Priceless moments curated for love stories that are priceless

Wedding Planning is an art of making the most beautiful day of a couple’s lives play out in the smoothest way possible, almost like the notes of a calming song! We personally believe in telling every love story in its own special and unique way.

A personalized way of distributing rose petals by placing them in cute little doilies hung from every person’s chair waiting to shower their love on the couple. Everyone attending the wedding becomes a part of the couple’s special day so, at DEI we try to make all our guests feel like they belong to the larger picture in making the special day all more special!

The 7 sacred vows displayed in cute little cards for everyone to read and understand the true meaning and essence of each of them.

And Yes, we make our tea and coffee stations also stand out from the rest. The addition of florals can enhance even the tiniest corners and give it a whole new identity and character.

We strongly believe that true beauty lies in the tiniest details and which is why we make sure we personalize every little detail for all our lovely couples. A Haldi favors station with specially curated potlis and pocket squares in the most colorful patterns and combinations automatically becoming a treat to everyone’s eyes.

From displaying decorative Mehendi cones to signify the importance of a Mehendi function to curating a special corner for guests to leave advice and wishes for the newlyweds. What better and unique way to display kaleere than on a cute little charpai.

Tanya & Anshuman

MY   Soulmate   , ALWAYS AND FOREVER

A love that started in college, and travelled continents. From living in the same city to living in different countries. A love story going against the usual worldly belief of long-distance relationships not working out. Tanya and Anshuman absolutely made it work.

Both of them came back to Delhi to celebrate their love story with their nearest and dearest, in so to say the smallest and the most intimate wedding celebration (yes just 20 people). From a vibrant mehendi in their backyard where they have shared so many laughs and precious moments with their family to a subtle and classy wedding at The Oberoi, New Delhi. A fairytale truly having a super special place in our hearts.

The bride was certain that she didn’t want anything over the top, but she knew she wanted the décor simple with a lot of personalization and everything to have a touch of blue, being both of theirs most favourite colour.

The Mehendi was totally traditional, over flowing with yellow marigolds and white chrysanthemums, with touches of Blue and white ikat linen. We created a small and cozy bridal area for her mehendi and decorated her “BACHPAN” ka jhoola as a photo op. Since it was an afternoon mehendi, we planned a full-fledged Dilli ki chaat counter rather than the usual buffet spread.

The bar was surely the show stopper, wicker baskets with genda drops made the façade and a menu was personalized with cocktails which Tanya & Anshuman had shared over many of their dates. But what took our heart away was, Anshuman being so cute and taking care of Tanya, feeding her and sitting right next to her all through out when she was putting Mehendi.

The wedding was held two days later at the terrace of Oberoi New Delhi, oh! A breathtaking sight. The center of attraction was our all-white mandap with pink florals, a backdrop for the couple and the leave a wish corner which was a walk through their journey over the years. Tanya and Anshuman danced on a thousand years sung live by the very Talented – Stavya Kalia – the performer for the night, leaving all of us awe struck. Their families were not behind, and also planned a surprise dance for both of them leaving both of them teary eyed. Aren’t weddings such a heart touching occasion, where every emotion is lived and loved. The cherry on the cake was, a candid speech by Anshuman for Tanya, little did we ever feel it first hand – the raw ones are the most real ones. Words, which would have maybe made a little less sense if they had been scripted or pre-prepared for. But this was straight from the heart, and we all couldn’t help but fall in love with the both of them again.

Oh! Did we tell you, we had precisely 20 guests attending this wedding? Tanya and Anshuman wanted to be over cautious about the safety and only invited their super close family & friends. The terrace had so many pillars, that it was a challenge to fit all the pieces of décor together to make it look as one. But alas, that’s what experience makes us do, fit the right pieces at the right places to make it the most perfect setting to get married.

As Anshuman stood by the mandap, Tanya walked to “Main Nachdi Phira” with happiness shining through her eyes and the most adorable smile. The guests cheering for both and tossing rose petals from their personalized doileys hanging from their respective chairs as both exchanged rings & Jaimala just as the sun set. The most beautiful moment preserved for a lifetime.

The guests danced the night away and wholeheartedly enjoyed the delicacies made by the talented team at the Oberoi. And trust us when we say, the Oberoi Terrace looks absolutely stunning at night, as though you are amidst the twinkling stars right in the middle of the sky, with candles just enhancing the beauty of this dreamy setting, if only you are able to keep them lit throughout the windy night. It’s just as if the wind wanted to be a part of the exquisite night and stopped the candles from shining their true light. But, at the end of a stormy night comes a beautiful sunrise and that’s the happiness we truly strive for! A night to remember for generations to come!

Every Wedding is a story and this is about a girl named Tanya! There was a need for home weddings post covid and the world was forced to choose it. But this story is not about a covid dictated wedding, but about a girl who wanted to live through her childhood on her wedding.

When we met Tanya, the only thing she knew was – she wanted the Mehendi to be something that was reminiscent of her childhood. She wanted everything to remind her of the cheerful laughter, the joyful conversations, her innocence, her transition into a young woman and her journey as she got ready to take steps into her new life. The venue for the Mehendi was already decided, it was a lawn at a five star hotel.

On understanding Tanya’s vision, we decided to convince the family to plan the mehendi in their own garden where Tanya actually grew up.

The décor was mixed with a lot of blue and yellow. Blue being Tanya’s favorite and summers being her favorite season. The mood board was a perfect amalgamation of Tanya’s heartbeat spread on the canvas of their lawn like a rainbow to her sky. Just with a tiny twist of her colours being the choice of the rainbow.

The very place she learnt to walk, where she planted her first sapling (she still recalls as magic), where she sipped lemonade and finally cocktails with her cousins.

A place she called home in her heart. On sharing this idea with Tanya, her eyes sparkled and that is exactly how it was supposed to be. Tanya was always a happy child as narrated to us by her parents, hence we decided to choose the happiest flower to adorn the décor – yellow genda.

We were also told about the tuberose essence being a prominent part of her childhood. So many of her friends would recollect how her home was filled with tube roses every time they visited. We took this as our cue and translated it to use a lot of Rajnigandha in the décor.  And this is how we created her mehendi décor where every corner spoke to Tanya in its own way.

We decorated her childhood swing, a constant in that lawn to remind her that she shall never outgrow the affection of her first love. The trees in the lawn became strong warriors and protected our  bride from the direct sunlight. The mehendi décor was infused with a lot of personal touches and a lot of detailing to plan something which felt just like pure love.

A day inspired by Tanya for Tanya with Tanya to create a story which felt just like home. A day she could merrily call her own.

The perfect blend of her favourite colours, the memories of her childhood so well lived and the closeness of all her loved ones right next to her made this Mehendi a spectacle to the eyes.

Even today, Tanya can beat anyone at a golgappa challenge and thus we decided to move away from the typical buffet setup we usually witness and have a Dilli-6 inspired chaat setup for lunch.

And so, It began with a girl named Tanya who had a dream for her special day and to make her dreams come to life was our vision. Here’s to living every day of this dreamy life trying to bring about a smile on the faces of our guests, a moment we treasure for years together.
