A Big Fat Indian Wedding is a celebrated tradition, but a Big Fat Indian Engagement is relatively rare. Yamini and Vishal may have set a new trend with their extravagant engagement ceremony, which spanned three days and included several functions. The celebration was conceptualized and executed by Evolve Weddings, a Wedifys Favorite, and captured beautifully by Cinelove Productions, another Wedifys Favorite.
Set on the banks of Lake Pichola, the luxurious Oberoi Udaivilas provided a stunning backdrop for the festivities. The resort’s architecture honors the rich heritage of Udaipur, and its hospitality reflects the regal traditions of Rajasthan, the Land of Kings.
The celebrations began with a grand welcome. Following Rajasthani traditions, the sounds of nagadas filled the air as brightly dressed camels escorted guests to the entrance. Rajasthani folk dancers flanked the guests, their joyful performances adding to the spectacle.
