Wrapped in color, traditions and modern charm, this couple’s Mumbai wedding exuded warmth and glamour.

Set against a vibrant canvas of traditions and joy, Harshi and Parth’s wedding was a heartwarming confluence of intimate moments, high-spirited revelry, and visual storytelling beautifully captured by WeddingSutra Favorite – Whatknot . From sunlit rituals to dance-filled nights, every frame echoed the couple’s unique energy and the bond they share.

How They Met
Parth and Harshi first crossed paths at a social club. A few casual dates soon turned into countless shared moments. “We were so comfortable with each other from the start—it was effortless,” shares Harshi. Their connection extended beyond the two of them, organically drawing in their families, making it feel like everything was simply meant to be.

The Proposal
Before their Dubai holiday with Parth’s family, he made a heartfelt gesture by taking Harshi’s mum and brother out for coffee to ask for her hand. “It was such a sweet moment,” she recalls. “Both of them were teary-eyed but so happy.” While Harshi suspected a proposal might happen during the trip, Parth’s plan was full of clever misdirection. After a cosy lunch, he took her to the beach where a setup awaited. “We walked past it casually… and just as I let go of the idea, he turned me around and proposed. It was just the two of us, and it couldn’t have been more perfect.”

Wedding Planning
The couple credits Whatknot  for making their wedding experience smooth and memorable. “Our experience with WhatKnot was seamless. They were easy to work with, understood our vision, and brought immense creativity to the table. Their turnaround time was impressive, and they felt like friends by the end of it. The team that worked with us truly came through; we couldn’t have asked for better,” the couple shares.

Wedding Functions
Mehndi
Channelling the charm of a mehfil, this event was filled with music, dance, laughter, and interactive games. “It was such a fun atmosphere, laidback but full of life,” says Harshi. The couple chose a colorful, celebratory tone that mirrored the joy of the occasion.

Chooda
A serene and sentimental affair, the chooda ceremony was all about embracing tradition. Dressed in a vibrant lime green salwar suit, Harshi looked radiant as she stepped into this new chapter surrounded by blessings.

Haldi
“Haldi was an absolute riot!” laughs Parth. Set up like a desi carnival, the event exploded with turmeric, beats of the dhol, and cheerful chaos. With South Indian cuisine, floral decor, and non-stop fun, it was a vivid, love-filled celebration.

Wedding
The pheras unfolded under a canopy of baby’s breath and shimmering lights. The pastel dress code brought a romantic garden-party charm to the setting. “We named it ‘Where Love Blooms’ and it truly did,” Harshi reflects. The floral mandap, soft pink varmala blooms, and the couple’s smiles created a moment that felt suspended in time.

Cocktail
Ending the festivities on a dazzling note, the cocktail night was all things glam, a disco-themed party with pulsating music, edgy fashion, and an electric vibe. “Everyone let loose, it was the most unfiltered, high-energy night of the wedding,” shares Parth.

Advice For Couples
“The best thing you can do is have honest conversations with your partner early on,” the couple advises. “Align your vision before diving into the planning. That clarity is everything. Also, don’t underestimate how overwhelming the last few weeks can get. Plan, and don’t forget that at the heart of it all, it’s your day. Make it yours.”
