From Family Friends to Forever: Inside Vrushti And Tanish’s Royal Jaipur Wedding

Some love stories announce themselves loudly — with dramatic first meetings or whirlwind romances. Others arrive quietly, unfolding with time, familiarity, and a sense of inevitability. Vrushti and Tanish’s story belongs firmly to the latter.

They had known of each other for years, their paths crossing through shared family connections, yet never once imagining that familiarity could turn into forever. It wasn’t until a cousin’s wedding in Udaipur — amid dance rehearsals, long conversations, and unguarded laughter — that something shifted. What began as ease soon revealed itself as something deeper. By the end of their first dinner together, familiarity had transformed into certainty. It felt less like starting something new and more like recognising what had always been there: friendship first, then partnership, rooted in comfort, honesty, and an unspoken confidence in choosing each other.

That sense of balance, between emotion and intention, dreams and grounding, came through beautifully in their proposals. Tanish surprised Vrushti in Dubai, whisking her away to what she believed was a holiday in Goa, only for her to find herself on a private beach surrounded by her siblings and a moment she would remember forever. In return, Vrushti planned something equally meaningful but deeply personal: she proposed to Tanish at the construction site of their future home, standing exactly where her room would one day be built. Together, these moments captured the essence of their relationship — dreaming boldly, while staying rooted in what they were building together. Aptly, their wedding hashtag read: #WhereOurDreamsBegin.

For their celebrations, the couple chose Fairmont Jaipur — a venue whose stately architecture and timeless grandeur perfectly echoed their vision of a royal Marwari wedding. Yet despite the scale, the soul of the wedding remained intimate and deeply personal. The festivities opened with a joyful haldi, where tradition met playfulness. Fresh florals, coordinated floral outfits, water balloons, and laughter-filled moments — many thoughtfully planned by Tanish — set a celebratory tone that felt effortless and warm.

As evening fell, the mood shifted to the Shaahi Saanjh, a candlelit royal dinner designed to feel both opulent and deeply emotional. Rich fabrics, soft lighting, and intimate seating created an atmosphere where stories took centre stage. Guests were invited to share memories through a fishbowl activity, while heartfelt speeches from the couple turned the evening into a shared reflection on love, family, and the journey that had led them here.

Day two unfolded at the Aasmaa terrace with the Welcome Carnival, also known as the Dreamscape Soirée. Bathed in pastel hues, the space felt playful yet refined, featuring interactive stations — from engraved cups and champagne glasses to custom hats, tarot readings, and thoughtfully designed guest experiences that encouraged connection over spectacle. That evening, the sangeet, titled Echoes of the Darbaar, took place on the Fairmont lawns, with Raffles Jaipur standing regal in the backdrop. Pearls, flowing white drapery, and a formal stage set the scene as Vrushti and Tanish made a breathtaking entrance across the waterbody. “The sangeet entrance felt unreal,” Vrushti later shared. “Everything around us disappeared.”

The wedding day itself was steeped in tradition and emotion. Tanish arrived for his baaraat on horseback, surrounded by family, friends, dhol players, and music that carried the energy of celebration across the grounds. Before the ceremony, he exchanged handwritten letters with Vrushti and her family — a quiet, poignant moment before the grandeur unfolded. The pheras took place on the lawn, framed by the majestic Raffles Jaipur, blending royal splendour with heartfelt ritual. For the couple, preserving tradition mattered deeply. Hence, they chose not to see each other in their wedding attire until the varmala, allowing that moment to retain its sanctity and emotional power.

The celebrations concluded with Noor Ki Shaam, a Sufi night bathed in candlelight and live music — an intimate, soulful ending that brought the festivities full circle. Looking back, Vrushti reflects, “When I see the photographs now, I feel it all over again.”

Photographed by Knotting Bells, the wedding felt less like a production and more like a story unfolding naturally. Founder Rajesh Satankar notes a broader shift reflected beautifully in this celebration. “True opulence today is emotional,” he shares. “It’s no longer about scale or spectacle alone, but about intention. Even when weddings unfold within palatial settings or heritage venues, the approach has softened.” Of Vrushti and Tanish, he adds, “They have a rare softness together. Photographing them was less about creating moments and more about observing a connection grounded in trust, presence, and intention. Our role was simply to preserve that honesty.”

In the end, their wedding was not just a celebration of grandeur, but of balance, between tradition and individuality, spectacle and sentiment. With roots firmly grounded in family and dreams held high, Vrushti and Tanish step into their future knowing that every chapter feels richer when built hand in hand. Sometimes, love doesn’t arrive loudly. It waits patiently — until the timing is perfect.
