In a world where traditions often reign supreme, Saanya Sharma, one of the creative minds behind Three Entertainment, weaved her wedding story with uniqueness and individuality. Having created unforgettable decor for countless couples, Three Entertainment turned its artistry inward as its co-founder prepared to walk down the aisle. Saanya, alongside her groom Rahul Vohra, hosted a three-day celebration, promising nothing short of a masterpiece, which unfurled on the 15th, 16th, and 17th of February.
It all began with beautiful roka ceremony on 29th October 2023 at Bastian, which coincided with the restaurant’s opening, marking the beginning of the festivities, leading up to the nuptials. First there was the passionate proposal by Rahul amidst the serene backdrop of the Olare Motorogi Conservancy in Kenya. Their shared passion for wildlife was visible in their roka ceremony themed the ‘Disco Jungle.’ The wedding ceremony highlighted their relationship, allowing everyone to see the depth and emotion that it carries.
The couple strongly believes that the essence of love lies in the warmth of a home. This was a sentiment echoed through every facet of their nuptials, from the save-the-date invitations to the wedding decor and in-room hampers. Saanya shares, “We believe that a house becomes a home when it is filled with love. This is something Rahul and I hold very dear, and it’s exactly what we wanted our guests to feel. In each of our wedding festivities, we have tried to infuse this concept to make everyone feel a sense of belongingness and compassion that accompanies home.”
While the decor and designing were swiftly handled by Three Entertainment themselves, the wedding was orchestrated by expert planners MPIRE Events. Her two best friends and co-founders of Three Entertainment, Sanjana Shah and Aashna Lalwani, were Saanya’s backbone as she navigated through the whirlwind of emotions that came along with planning a wedding.
The festivities commenced on the 15th with the Mehendi Ceremony, set against the backdrop of Manhattan in St. Regis, Mumbai. A fusion of vintage charm and contemporary flair, this celebration burst forth in a riot of colours and rainbows. Saanya was donned in an exquisite Shantanu & Nikhil ensemble, and Rahul, in a charming Abhinav Mishra. Thoughtful mementos like potted succulents that symbolize ‘Let Love Grow,’ and rainbow keychains added a personal touch to this extraordinary affair.
The Haldi and Chuda ceremony followed suit on the 16th, transforming the colour palette to sun-kissed yellows and lush greens, beneath a stunning sunflower canopy. Saanya and Rahul were adorned in a bespoke orange ensemble curated by Saanya’s mother Ritu Sharma.
The Sangeet on the 17th continued with a floral fantasy, with black mesh flowers throughout the decor. Taking a step further, Three Entertainment designed the center stage to be a reflective structure shaped like a home, embedded with infinity mirrors, symbolizing the couple building a home together. Saanya dazzled in a statement Tarun Tahiliani, while Rahul exuded charisma in a Rohit Gandhi & Rahul Khanna couture.
The Wedding, themed ‘Love Laps at the Racecourse,’ unfolded at Gallops, Mumbai, enveloped in a setting of white and red hues. Both the bride and groom donned the quintessential red, the bride’s lehenga emblematic of a mother’s eternal love, designed by her own mother, Ritu Sharma, and the groom, in a regal red Sabyasachi.
With finesse and skill, ace makeup artist Shradha Luthra worked her magic to accentuate the natural beauty of the bride for all her looks. An afterparty at the Gallops Banquet Hall capped off the evening, as the newlyweds revelled in the euphoria of their union. Through the lens of Ombre By HJ, every glance, and every moment of this artful wedding was captured, marking a celebration that simply exudes magic and emotion.
As Saanya and Rahul tied the knot, they invited everyone to witness a celebration that is as unique and radiant as their bond.
