"While Aamby Valley City can accommodate over 5000 guests, we celebrated this matrimony with solely 25 attendees. Right from pre-wedding Covid-19 testing to sanitation protocols, all rules and regulations were followed to the tee, irrespective of the multitude of the occasion. It was a combination of all this that allowed Krishna to live her dream wedding—an everlasting memory that has been beautifully captured in our photographs. However, while the event was absolutely magical, we did face a few challenges with respect to the guests, bride and groom, and events being held at different locations at one given point in time. And, the fact that we rose above these hurdles showcases our dedication as a team." — Shrey Bhagat, Co-founder at Knotting Bells.

"For the big day, we wanted to uphold the traditional, while giving things a contemporary spin. Hence, the temple structure held pastel carnations, hydrangeas, gypsos, and lush greens, all of which seemed to create the perfect setting. Amidst the picturesque sunset, it was a sight to behold."

"For the sangeet function, we chose to ditch the traditional stage in favour of a central dance floor. The event was a safari-themed disco night—all things retro, and adventurous."

"We had a flower bar at the mehendi function—a concept that was very close to my heart. Buckets full of vibrant, fragrant flowers were laid out on display, and the guests could make their personal flower bouquets to take home."

"Soon enough, the lockdown struck and labour came down to a limited number. Besides, real flowers are becoming increasingly scarce! But, thanks to my team, each event resembled a wonderland, and I couldn't have wished for more."

"I was very clear about the decor I wanted for each event. My penchant for experimenting with unconventionality compelled me to opt for a unique theme for each function. Most who know me closely, are aware about my love for fresh florals—hence, they had to be incorporated into every single event, in an eclectic way."

"We had initially planned our wedding to take place in Mumbai, however, the situation soon got out of control, and we felt it was safer to have an intimate ceremony on the outskirts of the city. We had to change our venue just a month before the wedding! But, I guess everything happens for a reason, and today, we’re so glad we made the right decision."
