Jewel of The East (Part 2)

Every once in a while, you get a wedding that makes you go ga-ga, you wish you have a time machine that can teleport and plant you right smack in the centre of all the elaborate finery. Well, that’s exactly how much in love I am with the wedding of Gayathri and Gaurav, so much so that I’m totally at lost with words to describe just how gorgeously festive the wedding was. It is not just the colours or the details that make a wedding beautiful, but the combined emotions of love and joy from all those who matter most to you. This wedding was all that and more. Here’s the second part of their wedding, featuring the ritualistic Tilak ceremony and Sangeet reception superbly planned by Innayat of Innaz Communique.

After the Tilak ceremony, the groom’s entourage marched on from Four Seasons Resort to Tanjung Rhu Resort with much pomp and gaiety for the Sangeet reception.

The Sangeet reception had a multi-cultural vibe to it. The bride made her grand entrance ushered by the traditional Kompang and Bunga Manggar procession. Buffet stations were lighted up with red Chinese lanterns. Dance and entertainment, without a doubt, has to be Banghra and Hindi pop! These songs always get the crowd going, everytime. Of course, Sangeet is all about the merriment and music, revolving the theme around the love life of the bride and groom. So you can always rely on the Hindi film scores to show you how to party right!

What a great teaser for the guests, leading up to the big day. If the pre-wedding party was already filled with so much fun, what can one possibly expect on the wedding day? Well, stay tuned for Part 3 of the wedding!
