Yash & Benaisha's Intimate Wedding in Mussorrie

Prewedding carnival-themed brunch

The wedding festivities of Yash and Benaisha in Mussoorie began with a carnival-themed brunch. The couple coordinated in floral embroidered outfits by Anita Dongre's sustainable fashion line Grassroot, that matched the pastel-hued floral decorations. They kept the outfits lightweight and fuss-free that allowed them the freedom to spend quality time with friends and family. The women of SEWA (Self-employed Women’s Association) rallied to create the meticulously embroidered twinning look of the couple.

Dazzling Cocktail

With the entire venue bedecked with fairy lights, Yash and Benaisha's wedding cocktail was a lit affair. They both kept the coordination game strong and turned up in ink blue Anita Dongre outfits. While Benaisha wore a sleeveless and deep neckline gown with intricate pichhwai work, Yash looked dapper in a classic sherwani. Their minimal yet elegant looks make their wedding an absolute source of inspiration for the millennial couples.

Glamourous Sangeet

JW Marriott, Mussoorie witnessed the couple's Sangeet ceremony which was a night full of giggles, fun and of course, dance. Benaisha's emerald green lehenga embellished with intricate hand-painted pichhwai works was a feast for our eyes. Yash complemented her well in a custom ivory sherwani featuring green and blue foliage and floral embroideries.

The whimsical wedding

"The forecast predicted rain showers on the couple's special day. But the weather gods came through and blessed the couple with clear skies, the sun shining down on them," expressed Anita Dongre in an Instagram post. And we couldn't be happier, how else could we get to lay our eyes on the beauty of this wedding.

Benaisha always wanted to get married in pink. So, Anita Dongre exclusively designed a custom gota patti lehenga that had the bride's favorite quote embroidered on it. It read, "When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew." Isn't that sweet?

The groom made high-spirited entry with the coordinated groomsmen.

The bride chose to walk down the aisle with her father for the wedding that marked the union of Hindu & Zoroastrian faiths.

The ace designer Anita Dongre also designed identical ensembles for the groomsmen and bridesmaids for the wedding ceremony.

Looking crisp in an elegant mint green sherwani from the House of Anita Dongre, here's Yash Dongre exchanging jaimala with the love of his life.  FYI, jaimalas bunched with baby's breaths flowers are raging big time!

Yash and Benaisha took vows in a breathtakingly gorgeous setup that we can't stop gushing over! Backed by the Shivalik mountains, the rustic mandap decor with appealing verdant floral arrangements made for the most picturesque setting to tie the knot.

The heart-warming family picture with everyone dressed in the House of Anita Dongre. Could it get any more beautiful? We don't think so!
