Love is simple, and organic, and often finds its way to unexpected places. What started as a friendship in their Freshman Year at Columbia University in New York blossomed into a deep bond, culminating in their breathtaking wedding at Jaipur’s iconic Rambagh Palace. For Rupal, tying the knot here was a dream come true, as hailing from Jaipur, Rambagh Palace with its royal history and grandeur represents the fairytale wedding every bride wishes for.
With Rajasthan as their backdrop and the expert touch of Konark Events, every detail of their wedding decor was par excellence.The power of decor and design in upscaling an event cannot be understated, and Rupal Gupta and Tanmay Khandelwal’s wedding was a shining example of how personalization at the forefront can turn a celebration into something truly extraordinary.
The festivities kicked off on the 14th of July with the Welcome Lunch and Mehendi at Maharani Mahal, aptly themed Rendezvous in Rajasthan. The decor was a perfect blend of traditional Rajasthani elements and contemporary pastels. The pastel angan theme infused with silver elements set the tone for the wedding. Delicate block prints, silver photo frames, and personalized name cut-outs of the couple adorned the space, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. It was like stepping into a dream, with exotic flowers like anthorium laced around the setting.
The Sangeet, Techno Beats, saw a vibrant colour palette of purple, blue, and black, with cutting-edge technology. Projection mapping, kinetic light effects, and holographic lamps transformed the hall into a futuristic wonderland. The outdoor dining area, encased in a transparent dome structure adorned with neon-coloured balls, was a particular highlight, offering a surreal experience under the stars.
Drawing inspiration from the couple’s shared love for New York’s bustling markets, the Haldi ceremony unfolded in a Farmer’s Market. There were more than 13 stalls featuring rustic elements like flower pots, fruit carts, and green plantations. Guests could pick up Italian-inspired tote bags, personalized with the couple’s initials, and fill them with custom elements from the farmer’s market, including scented candles, organic foods, engraved coffee sippers, and more. “This event was close to our hearts and our favourite. We wanted our guests to experience something new and fresh, which would also remind us of how our journey began,” shared the couple.
The couple tied the knot in a unique lotus mandap, surrounded by lush florals. The setting was serene with white and gold accents, a combination that works wonders. “From the moment we shared our vision with Himish, we knew we could trust him to bring it to life. Every detail we envisioned was beautifully executed, with personalization taking on a new meaning. Himish and his team truly understood our desires and went above and beyond to make sure every element reflected our story. The entire experience felt seamless, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect setting for our special day,” shared Rupal.
Himish Agarwal, the CEO and Creative Director of Konark Events, shares, “We wanted to create an experience that was not just visually stunning but also deeply personal to Rupal and Tanmay. The decor was a reflection of their journey, their roots, and their love for each other.”
