Geethika Haridas and Siddhanth Jayaram, a Bangalore-based couple, envisioned a wedding that echoed their values and shared journey. Sustainability was paramount, with a focus on small but impactful choices like light-only decor and electric cars for guest transport, which was especially important for Siddhanth, who has been working deeply in the climate space for the last 3 years.
The engagement ceremony honoured their cultural heritages, blending Keralite and Kannadiga traditions seamlessly. The Mehendi event, themed around their favourite tropical vacation spots, showcased their love for the environment. The food was Asian, a cuisine that they both enjoyed and first bonded over. The lighting and wireframe for the Sangeet were designed to emulate a Coldplay concert(including wristbands for all attendees) – something that they have wanted to do and got very close to doing together. Their wedding ceremony was a beautiful blend of Tamil and Malayali rituals, While the ceremonies were authentic and traditional, the décor infused Japanese Origami art with florals giving a global, sustainable and modern twist to the mandap.
