Rhea and Pravin’s countryside wedding was a stunning four-day event blending culture, elegance, and literary charm. The festivities began in London with a Henna party at Bombay Brasserie before heading to the Four Seasons Hampshire, where the couple hosted a weekend of unforgettable celebrations.

Day 1: A Zimbabwean Welcome Lunch
The celebrations began with a Zimbabwean-themed lunch on the hotel’s terrace, honoring Rhea’s roots. A vibrant orange palette, inspired by the gloriosa lily and bird of paradise, set the scene. Guests enjoyed traditional barbecue and Mazoe while marimba players provided joyful tunes.

Day 2: The Civil Ceremony & Literary-Themed Reception
The civil ceremony took place at sunset in the walled garden, featuring an opulent palette of gold, burgundy, and pearl white. Thoughtful details included The Great Gatsby books with speakeasy passcodes, author-themed table names, and personalized love quotes.

Rhea stunned in a bespoke Zuhair Murad dress and red Louboutin pumps and diamond jewelry.

The reception’s décor was nothing short of magical. Cascading floral arrangements in deep reds and pinks adorned the tables. An incredible curved flower wall, serving both as the altar and a photo booth backdrop, provided a breathtaking centerpiece. The dinner area was canopied with fairy lights, casting a dreamy glow over the celebrations.

As the evening transitioned into a speakeasy-themed after-party, the atmosphere shifted to one of lively entertainment and revelry. A singer with a jazzy tone added a touch of 1920s glamour, while performers blending Hindi and English music brought the couple’s heritage to the forefront. Specialty acts, including a typewriter poet and performers covered in mirrors, added unique and unforgettable elements to the night.

From heartfelt traditions to extraordinary details, Rhea and Pravin’s first two days set the tone for a remarkable weekend.
