Every wedding brings us to a deeper understanding of how love beautifully binds two souls. Each wedding brings us to experience a new story and a lovely new beginning. Falguni & Gareth, two lovely individuals both from different cultures & countries make you believe that nothing matters when love takes center stage!
We began working with Falguni & her oh! So lovely mum Parul aunty 8 months back. Two of the most kind hearted and understanding people we have ever dealt with. Most of the detailing happened over numerous emails and Skype calls. But as clear headed and organised as the mum and daughter duo were made everything seem so effortless.
27th - 29th December 2018
An amazing end to the year with Falguni & Gareth.
Here's an account of all the beautiful details that went into making Falguni & Gareth's wedding in Goa one that had her guests in all praises!
Falguni chose the offbeat Planet Hollywood Beach Resort, Goa located on the quaint coast of Utorda.
The wedding festivities were kick-started with her Mehendi Night at Maximus.
The decor was desi pop art inspired, with oodles of color and quirky elements! Beautiful prints in bright colors, hand painted kettles, pom - pom sticks, origami birds, mini tuk - tuks, trucks sourced specially for the mehendi and tonnes of fresh flowers set the desi pop art scene perfectly. The fresh flowers were totally loved by every guest, to an extent that the guests chose to carry them back to their rooms and we couldn't be happier.
Team GKWW sourced and custom painted an actual tuk - tuk donned it with fresh flowers and converted it to a quirky booth to capture all the mehendi night memories.
28th December morning began with the manglik prasang followed by the Haldi. The decor here was traditional and minimalistic in hues of yellow and white with rangoli put together with fresh flowers. The ubtan for the ceremony was sourced specially from the amazing Suparna Trikha, made with all natural ingredients, one that smells heavenly and is bound to leave you with a beautiful natural glow.
The next event lined up was the Garba Night with a live bollywood band from Goa. We recreated the feel of a temple at the banquet hall, all four sides of the venue were adorned with strings of fresh flowers.Over thousand fresh flowers were used to achieve this.
The decor drew inspiration from the tales of RadhaKrishna. The center of the Garba stage donned an idol of RadhaKrishna that was very artistically put together with fresh flowers by florists flown in all the way from Delhi. The structure was custom made by specialists from Mumbai. Right from peacock feathers, to the custom painted matkas, the entrance arch put together with a flute every detail in the decor was an ode to the lovely RadhaKrishna.
And thus dawned 29th December 2018, the day Falguni and Gareth chose to pledge their love by the beach. The wedding decor was simple and chic put together with minimalistic elements. Fresh flower strings with bells tasseled around the end and an idol of lord Ganesha decked with fresh flowers made for a simple yet beautiful Mandap. Chivari chairs for the seating and a beautiful sunset by the beach made for the most amazing backdrop.Gareth made his entry on a mare. While Falguni was led to the mandap by her uncles and brothers.

The reception was chic with a few rustic touches. Falguni requested for some pretty fairy lights so we created a magical entryway donned with pretty gold lights specially for her.
The reception party was to have the feel of a backyard party, we created a few popular games played in the backyards of homes in the US, Such as bocce ball, bean bag toss, human jenga, beer pong to keep the non dancers entertained.
Every element of this beautiful celebration was thought of and curated with a lot of love.
Right from the decor to the giveaways and the hampers that went into guest rooms. Favors included handmade bangles for the mehendi, torans for the manglik prasang & custom printed glass coasters for the reception. The cookies in the hampers were custom made in an orange zest and a special Christmas flavor to celebrate the Christmas festivity in the air.
We love planning these details and we totally enjoy the madness executing them. The smiles we receive at the end and warm hugs from Parul aunty to team GKWW had all our stress melt away.
Stay tuned for an amazing 2019 as we bring you some exciting new decor, beautiful love stories & magical new beginnings!
