From Cricket to Candlelight: A Love Story Celebrated in Udaipur
A wedding planner’s dream, this celebration had it all. With just 60 carefully selected guests, each person held a unique and meaningful place in the couple’s hearts, making the occasion feel deeply personal and truly unforgettable.
Set against the timeless elegance of a 16th-century palace transformed into a luxurious hotel in the magical city of Udaipur, the venue radiated timeless charm, echoing the beauty of the love story unfolding within its walls.
This was a heart warming tale of two beautiful souls with a connect so deep, their love so profound, that it left everyone present feeling inspired. Their journey gave us hope, reminded us of the power of second chances, and made us believe in the kind of love that lasts a lifetime.
The three day festivities unfolded with a spirited cricket match that set the tone for the days to come. As dusk fell, guests were whisked away to the serene beauty of the Thar Desert, where an evening of magic unfolded beneath a starlit sky.
The following morning greeted everyone with the radiant hues of Haldi, a golden prelude to the enchanting Mehendi ceremony held at the Janana courtyard afterwards. The Sangeet that followed was nothing short of spectacular — an ethereal “Paris in a Palace” theme, where elegance and glamour danced in perfect harmony with the couple and their guests.
On the final day, the Baraat arrived in a jubilant procession, leading into a breathtaking sunset wedding ceremony. As night deepened, the dinner that followed left everyone in awe — not just for its beauty, but for the sheer joy and warmth that radiated from the couple and their guests. These unforgettable moments will remain etched in our hearts, reminding us of the magic we witnessed.
Dearest Chitralekha and Holm-Ingolf, may your lives continue to be filled with the same joy and love you so generously bring to everyone whose lives you touch.
