Geetanjali & Ketan
May 22-24, 2025
A talented family member drew up a sketch for Geetanjali & Ketan with their initials for a logo - the Kahani team made it usable for graphics throughout their days on bags, stickers, their dance floor, and more!
Geeta & Ketan wanted a full Indian wedding experience for themselves and their guests! Food and decor and Bollywood level dances were to be the main priorities - so we planned accordingly!

Sangeet
The Sangeet was Geetanjali’s time to truly shine. As a lifelong dancer, she led the choreography, creating a program that was vibrant, energetic, and filled with joy. To mirror that lively spirit, she chose her favorite color—yellow—as the central theme for the decor. I crafted a unique pattern that was featured throughout the celebration, including a custom dance floor and coordinated stationery and signage. The venue was completely transformed with an elegant draped ceiling, and Indian furniture pieces, enhancing the festive atmosphere perfectly.
Wedding
For the wedding ceremony, our aim was to create a simple and classic setting, providing an elegant backdrop for the dynamic split ceremony. We blended traditional elements from both Rajasthani and Tamil customs. Geetanjali and Ketan were especially drawn to the arches and jaalis of our white mandap, which became the centerpiece of the space and inspired the event signage. Accents and floral arrangements in shades of pink, red, and purple enhanced the décor, including a custom floral Ganesh.
The celebration featured a delicious dosa lunch on the patio, which stood out as my personal favorite meal of the entire weekend!

Reception
Our team swiftly managed the crowd and transformed the entire space. Geetanjali and Ketan’s first date was at an observatory, making a starry night theme the perfect conclusion to their wedding weekend. The ceiling was illuminated with lights and lanterns, beautifully draped over a custom dance floor. While Geetanjali and Ketan captured memories, we applied the final touches—candlelight and sparkling roses adorned the tables. A standout moment was the video recap of the weekend, which truly set the mood for a lively and joyful evening.
