Weddings are a magical experience and one that marks promises made for a lifetime. For the Mumbai-based couple, Shreya and Prateek, this beautiful experience had to be one that forever stayed alive in the hearts of everyone present, illuminating magnificence and grandeur in an unconventional and contemporary manner.
Prateek and Shreya first met at a music concert three years ago, which was the beginning of a remarkable experience for them. They bonded instantly over their mutual interests in techno music and leading a healthy lifestyle. Both share a fondness for coffee and consider it an indispensable part of their routine.
Welcome Sundowner Dinner
The beautiful wedding celebration of Shreya and Prateek started with a beautiful and dreamy sundowner dinner to welcome all the wedding guests. Set in the glorious property of The Leela, Udaipur, Shreya and Prateek’s wedding was enveloped in luxurious views, the best hospitality, and one of the most celebrated musicians in the country. The couple, Shreya and Prateek were very clear about the location and the fact that they wanted to utilize the space efficiently. The Leela is an extremely luxurious property but the couple chose to do their events and ceremonies only at the Rangmanch and Guava Garden so it is easily accessible for all guests.

White Wedding
Shreya and Prateek's wedding celebration began with a dreamy and serene white wedding. That’s what the bride, Shreya always wanted to do. The couple chose to host their ceremony in the beautiful Guava Garden, which is a part of The Leela, Udaipur. The entire space was decorated to look like a backyard setting, and the theme of the decor was inspired by the couple's bluebird invite. Right from flowers to small decor pieces, each element included throughout the space was highly personalized. As the sun set, the garden was transformed with the lighting of almost 1800 candles, creating a "stars in the sky" ambiance and one that makes you lose yourself to the magical expression of love! The ceremony was officiated by a relative from Australia, making it an intimate and personal experience for the couple and their guests. This was further elevated by live music and the most beautiful notes by Best Kept Secret. The wedding bartenders created one of the most interesting bar menus with popcorn drinks and martinis that were a huge hit amongst the guests. The day was topped off with an after-party, where guests danced the night away to the beats of the exceptional DJ Krish.

A Wedding Ceremony Under the Tree
The groom entered with an extravagant baraat making it the most memorable part of the day. The key highlight of the wedding day was that the couple chose to ditch a traditional mandap. Instead, they let the picturesque outdoor venue, surrounded by trees, add a natural and mystical charm to the wedding. One of the most breathtaking moments was when the bride walked down the aisle with 250 kgs of flowers being showered on her and Jasleen Royal singing her most melodious songs for the bridal entry. The wedding designer accentuated the natural beauty of the venue by using the trees for the decor, creating a truly bespoke and personalized experience for the couple. With the larger-than-life decor and the effortless blend of traditional and modern elements, each aspect of the Indian wedding felt straight out of a dream sequence. Right from the smaller decor details to the larger services, hospitality, event planning, food, and entertainment, the couple's vision of creating a personalized and unforgettable experience for their families and guests helped Shreem Events create three of the most magical days ever!
After the wedding pheras and nuptials, the couple threw an electrifying techno-after party that featured sparkling face tattoos by talented artists and a mesmerizing display of LED lights throughout the hall, along with an amazing set by DJ Ashish and 6th Ocean, all while expert bartenders served up tantalizing drinks.

Giving us some expert tips for planning a beautiful destination wedding in Udaipur, Devanshi Patel, Founder of Shreem Events, said, "If you're planning a wedding in Udaipur, you need to be prepared to start planning well in advance. The most popular venues get booked up a year ahead of time, and if your wedding is happening during the peak season, you'll need to act fast to secure your vendors. Trust me; you don't want to miss out on your dream venue or favorite florist! Another thing to keep in mind is the weather. Udaipur can get pretty extreme, with freezing cold winters and scorching hot summers. So, you'll need to be strategic about picking the right time of year for your wedding. However, Udaipur is home to plenty of gorgeous spots and hospitable options to choose from! You'll find accommodations and wedding venues that cater to every style and taste, so you're sure to find the perfect fit for you and your guests.
