Tanisa and Prakhar's love story woven in light and memory

When jewellers Tanisa Nahata and Prakhar Lunia began planning their wedding, they wanted every moment to feel personal—like walking through the chapters of their own love story. The celebrations that unfolded at Fairmont Udaipur were exactly that: intimate, imaginative, and deeply emotional. Designed and conceptualised by Envelop, the experience design studio founded by Jai Sharma, the wedding was a masterclass in how storytelling can become architecture.

Where emotion meets design

For Envelop, each project begins not with mood boards or palettes, but with conversation. Those early exchanges form what Jai Sharma (Founder of Envelope) calls the “emotional blueprint”—the invisible foundation that guides everything from space planning to scent. For Nahata and Lunia, their story was translated into six immersive experiences, each one inspired by a moment that defined their journey together.

The welcome dinner, titled Kintsugi, A Scent of Forever, opened the celebrations with a poetic metaphor for love and resilience. Guests were transported inside a surreal recreation of Nahata's favourite perfume bottle—its shattered glass restored with veins of gold, a nod to the Japanese art of kintsugi. Every corner glowed softly, a sensory reflection of how beauty often emerges through imperfection.

Jewels, legacy, and luminescence

For the sangeet, The Sapphire Soirée, Envelop drew from the couple’s shared heritage in jewellery design and their affinity for gemstones. Fairmont Udaipur’s majestic interiors became the canvas for a midnight symphony of deep blues, mirrored installations, and sculptural lighting. The visual language celebrated both families’ gemstone legacies while mirroring the opulent architecture of the venue itself. The result was a first-of-its-kind dialogue between a hotel’s design DNA and a wedding’s creative expression.

The Sakura dream

The wedding’s after-party, The Final Petal: A Sakura Trail, revisited one of the couple’s most cherished memories—a proposal beneath cherry blossoms in Kyoto. The space transformed into a dreamscape of suspended petals, reflective pathways, and kinetic lights that mimicked the gentle rhythm of falling flowers. Every detail was layered with symbolism, evoking nostalgia and wonder in equal measure.

“Every wedding begins with one intimate memory,” says Jai Sharma. “Our role is to give that memory form, rhythm, and presence. For Tanisa and Prakhar, we turned scent, stone, and sakura into experiences that could be felt rather than just seen.”

The art of experiential storytelling

The decor fused technology, emotion, and artistry—transforming fleeting feelings into tangible, unforgettable spaces. For Nahata and Lunia, that philosophy became the essence of their wedding. Every event was not just an occasion, but a story you could step into—a reminder that true luxury lies not in excess, but in meaning.
