Rhea and Pravin’s four-day countryside wedding reached its crescendo on Day 3 with a vibrant Hindu wedding ceremony and a dazzling reception at the Four Seasons Hampshire, blending Indian traditions with the beauty of the English countryside.
The Hindu Ceremony
The day began with family prayers in the Royal Suite before Pravin’s energetic baraat arrival in a colorful tuktuk, bringing a slice of India to Hampshire. Smoke bombs added to the festive vibe, reminiscent of Holi celebrations. Guests were awed by the tropical-inspired setting, featuring a mirrored aisle reflecting the sky, a brilliant blue color palette, and stamped coconuts adding a beachy touch.
The couple exchanged vows beneath a unique mandap in the pavilion, surrounded by nature. Rhea made a stunning entrance shaded by a floral parasol held by her brother, symbolizing family and love. She wore a custom yellow Manish Malhotra lehenga, a non-traditional bridal color representing sunshine and happiness, paired with matching Jimmy Choo sandals.
The Indian Reception
Cocktail hour took place on the ballroom terrace, where guests gathered by a tree-shaped mirrored bar to watch the sunset. For dinner, the ballroom dazzled with a canopy of 10,000 delphinium flowers over the dance floor.
Entertainment stole the show with performances by stilt walkers and their favorite artist, Navin Kundra. Rhea later changed into a second Manish Malhotra outfit, designed to perfection over WhatsApp, showcasing her signature style.
From heartfelt traditions to showstopping details, Rhea and Pravin’s Indian wedding was a masterpiece of love and celebration.
