Mansi & Aneel
Five celebrations, two traditions, and one unfolding story — designed through colour, craft, light, and a sense of belonging.
The Leela Palace, Udaipur
April 2026
220 Guests
Two traditions, five moods, and one shared beginning.
Mansi and Aneel’s celebration asked us to hold contrast with care: bold geometry beside garden softness, old-world ritual beside a modern sense of ease. We moved from a sunlit Haldi in yellow and green to a Sangeet under chandeliers and stars, then into two distinct ceremonies—one pastel and open to the landscape, the other richly traditional in gold and red. A candlelit reception brought everything together through personal details.
Function One · The Haldi
Sunlight, pattern, and joyful excess
For the Haldi, we set vivid yellow and garden green against graphic black-and-white flooring and sandstone architecture. Sunflowers, hand-painted motifs, woven textures, and playful floral peacocks gave the ritual a bold identity, while low seating kept the celebration close and informal.
Design Language
Graphic Pattern & Sunflower Yellow
Function Two · The Sangeet
A ballroom beneath the stars
For the Sangeet, we transformed the courtyard into an open-air ballroom. Mirrored arches held crystal chandeliers, a canopy of lights stretched above the dance floor, and ivory lounges softened the scale, creating an evening that felt glamorous, theatrical, and ready to move.
Mood
Ivory, Mirrors & Starlight
Function Three · The Garden Wedding
A garden gathered in softness
For the first ceremony, we worked with the landscape rather than over it. Flower-covered arches rose between mature trees, pale blue flooring met blush seating, and low garden florals framed the gathering, allowing the water, shade, and morning light to remain present.
Setting
Pastel Garden by the Water
Function Four · The Hindu Wedding
Tradition framed in sculpted gold
For the Hindu wedding, an intricate gold mandap became the ceremonial centre—part pavilion, part sculpture. Cascading white mogra with touches of red softened its carved geometry, while brass objects, palms, and traditional florals connected the structure to the rituals unfolding within it.

Function Five · The Reception
A night built from memories
For the reception, we let memory become the design language. Black-and-white portraits floated through the garden, hundreds of candles traced the pathways, and white florals punctuated the greenery. The result felt less like a final event and more like a glowing epilogue.
Mood
Portraits, Candlelight & White Florals
In the Details
Details worth noticing
From patterned floors and sculpted mandaps to floral peacocks and candlelit portraits, every detail was composed to connect two traditions with one visual language.
Palette
Yellow became gold, blush became red, and ivory carried through.
Structure
Every structure framed ritual first and decoration second.
With Gratitude
The hands behind the celebration
Every celebration is shaped by many hands. With gratitude to the craftspeople, florists, fabricators, artists, and production teams who brought these five distinct worlds to life.
