Bhavika and Jayant, Kumaon

An ode to Aipan, the traditional art form from the Uttarakhand state, this wedding was a celebration of the mountains
Held in the scenic hills of Nainital, the Bhavika and Jayant wedding was a celebration of heritage and nature. For Bhavika, a Kumaoni bride born and raised in these mountains, it was the perfect setting. The groom, Jayant, was also deeply connected to this land, having spent his childhood at a boarding school in Nainital. The beauty of the mountains ran through their story, which was reflected in every detail of the wedding.
Wedding Planning
Dakshita Bhatla of DB & Spaces, says, “The couple wanted their wedding to celebrate the timeless beauty and deep-rooted culture of Kumaon, nestled in the heart of Nainital. The mountains, with their vastness and serenity, became more than just a backdrop—they became a part of the love story itself. The challenge was to weave this natural beauty into every detail of the wedding, creating an atmosphere where guests could feel the magic of the land and the significance of the moment.”
The team at DB & Spaces wanted to design a space that felt warm, welcoming, and intimately connected to the spirit of Kumaon. Aipan, the traditional art form of Kumaon, was the inspiration for the décor.

Wedding
For the wedding, it was a palette of gold, red and white. Gold came from the bride’s sacred Pahadi Nath, white from the intricate lines of Aipan art, and red from the groom’s Rajwada Safa. The colors were reflected in every fabric, flower, and detail. Guests wore pastels, so this story of red, gold, and white could truly sing.
The seating plan was also crafted with a purpose. No cold theater seating. Instead, the space was designed to feel like home—with round and rectangular tables bringing guests closer, creating connection over convention. “We wanted every guest to feel they were a part of something bigger, where nature, culture, and love converged in a shared space. At the heart of it all was the desire to create an experience that resonated with the soul—one that would linger long after the wedding day, reminding everyone of the power of place and love,” Dakshita adds.
The mandap, built in an amphitheater with 500 candles, rose gently like the hills—warm, spiritual, and quietly grand. The walk to the mandap was not a traditional one, but held a deep significance for the couple. It wasn’t a bride walking alone. Not a groom waiting. Both entered from opposite ends, meeting at a center etched in Aipan—a moment of togetherness, captured forever.
