Multi-Cultural Wedding In Thailand With Two Ceremonies & A Gorgeous View!
BY Latha Sunadh | 23 Feb, 2018 | 4 min read
The best thing about multi-cultural weddings? Two ceremonies and twice as much fun. That's why this Mallu-Marwari shaadi is on our list this week. From a gorgeous Sabyasachi lehenga in green to a fun and colourful Malayali do, there's so much inspiration and so many ideas sprawled out. And with Thailand as backdrop no less. The venue, Rayong Marriott was a winner on all counts while Wedding Planner, and Decor: Chirmi Events kept things beautiful and in order as photographer and Cinematographer: Ankit Singh, took all the candid-ness up a notch!
Meet Ashwin & Niharika
"My husband and I are childhood sweethearts. We met in boarding school (Jain International Residential School, Bangalore) back in 2003. We dated for a while in school and went our separate ways in 2007. He went to Singapore and I came back to Calcutta.
In 2012, he moved to Calcutta to look after his office/business. And that’s when we met again and started hanging with each other without realizing that this time it would convert into marriage. We dated for three years before tying the knot. Deep down we both knew, this was real" says Niharika.

The Wedding
From The Bride:
This wedding is a mix of two cultures coming together, and not just a South Indian wedding. It is a Malayali boy getting married to Marwari girl. We had a Beach Wedding, Lawn Party, and Pool Party. Our Wedding Planner, Bhumika Nahata of Chirmi Weddings, is amazing to work with. From our initial consultation to coordinating on our wedding day, everything went on smoothly.
Bhumika created our timeline, down to the smallest details, and worked so well with all our vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page. Surely proved their worth, Chirmi Events! Leena Bhushan, my MUA made me look so beautiful and ethereal in all my functions. Her makeup was effortless and I got a trillion compliments from everyone. She is where she is today because of the person she is, and that shows in her work. Ankit Singh is a brilliant photographer, easy going and has a solid team of multi-talented people. He will first understand what his client is looking for and leave no stone unturned to prove his worth.
As for my outfits, I Am Design by Pratik & Priyanka was amazing. I have been to a lot of designers, but by far they’re the best. From their quality to their fittings, and an “on-time delivery” is something I will always appreciate. Money well spent.
As for Rayong Marriott Resort & Spa, we made the best decision by picking this stunning hotel for our wedding. They have the best and the most cooperative staff led by a very efficient manager Mr. Jay, who did more than he could, to make our wedding a memorable one. We had Mame Khan (Singer) of coke studio who entertained our guests to the fullest and made sure every single person was on the dance floor with their drink in one hand and the other hand swaying high to his tunes. Super night!
