Ananya & Vikram
Gajner Sands Palace, Bikaner, Winter 2025
The brief
Ananya's family wanted a wedding that felt like Bikaner itself — red sandstone, desert light, brass — without it reading like a hotel default. Vikram's family, flying in from three continents, needed logistics that just worked.
The design idea
We built the palette around the venue’s existing sandstone and let marigold and deep maroon carry each function forward, rather than resetting the look from scratch every day. The mandap reused the same carved-wood frame from the haldi stage, re-dressed, so the week read as one story instead of four unrelated events.
