Once upon a FaceTime call, Ripal met Palak on the South Indian dating app Dil Mil, and what started as virtual binge-watching turned into a whirlwind of love, laughter, and one jaw-dropping proposal at Gantry State Park. Picture this: roses, candles, a red carpet, a glowing “Marry Me” sign, Bollywood instrumentals, and a surprise ring from Ripal herself. (Yes, she flipped the script!) From that moment on, there was no turning back.

Fast-forward to the Riviera Maya, where their multi-event wedding unfolded spectacularly over two and a half days. With five events spanning three properties at Generations Resort Riviera Maya, their destination celebration was as thoughtfully curated as it was unforgettable. From a Holi-inspired beach bash after the Grah Shanti to an Amalfi Coast-themed welcome party, every event was infused with personal touches and vibrant charm. Their Sangeet lit up the rooftop with colorful papel picado flags and surprise fireworks (Palak’s favorite!). At the same time, their ceremony was a floral dream with elegant arrangements by ASR by Roque Sandoval and Zuñiga Deco Cancun. Their reception brought the glam: a black-and-white theme, shimmering outfits, and even a Vogue-inspired photo booth that had guests making their best cover model impressions. But the true magic was in the moments—the surprise dances, the tears at the first look, and a father-daughter dance that melted hearts. Desi DJs kept the beats flowing, ensuring no dance floor was left lonely, and Pyaar Planning (special shoutout to Edith and Sha!) flawlessly executed every detail to bring Ripal & Palak’s vision to life.

Saptapadi Weddings, the cinematography team behind the lens, deserves a standing ovation. Their cinematic finesse captured the raw emotion and electric energy of each event, from the soft glances in the first look to the bold beats of the baraat. Every moment felt larger-than-life, just the way it should. And when it comes to destination wedding coordination, Indian Destination Wedding, Inc. was nothing short of a blessing. Ripal & Palak raved about Ateet and his team, who transformed the notoriously stressful planning process into a smooth and joyful experience. With unmatched attentiveness and a deep understanding of Indian wedding needs abroad, this team ensured that the couple (and their 5-event schedule!) were in expert hands.

Ripal was a vision in her Rimple & Harpreet bridal lehenga—an unexpected choice that she fell in love with thanks to her mom and Palak’s keen eyes at Aza Fashion in Delhi. And for her other looks? Think bold statements by Seema Gujral, Angad Singh, and Siddarth Bansal, paired with accessories from Jimmy Choo, Hermès, and jewelry from Cartier and Jared. Palak complemented her style with a regal Manyavar tuxedo, Breitling timepiece, and dapper Hugo Boss reception shoes. Beauty was brought to life by Alex Corbanezi, whose artistry elevated each of Ripal’s looks, while Loto Mehndi added intricate, breathtaking henna that looked like it belonged in a museum.

“Enjoy every moment,” Ripal advises future brides. “There is so much growth as a couple through the process, and it all goes by so quickly.” We couldn’t agree more.

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
We met on the South Indian dating app- Dil Mil! We had been long-distance while we were dating, but always made it a point to have nightly FaceTime dates and watch a show together. His consistency was one of the things I love most about him. I knew he was the one when we went away to Miami for our one-year dating anniversary.

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
Palak was always pulling my leg and said I would have to propose to him! One chilly day in November, he planned a photo shoot for us in Gantry State Park overlooking NYC. I walked onto a red carpet adorned with roses and candles, the center was a circle of flowers and a dazzling "Marry Me" sign, and of course Bollywood instrumentals playing to set the mood. My family and friends were hiding nearby to witness the occasion. I also had a surprise for him, I had a ring that I had brought to propose to him during this "photo shoot".

Tell us how you went about planning your wedding, and your overall experience with the Venues, Hair & Makeup, Outfits, Decor Theme, and all of the other important details.
We knew we wanted to do a destination wedding and loved the thought of doing it in Mexico. We did both our pre-wedding shoots in Mexico. Our goal was to keep the wedding energetic and fun. We found our vendors by looking through their work on Instagram and contacting them.

We chose Generations because of the large property with multiple venues to host events, and due to the on-site Indian Restaurant where the chef really took the time to listen to us and cater to our family's dietary needs.

After the Grah Shanti, we had planned a Holi on the beach.

For the decor, we knew we wanted the sangeet and wedding to be colorful. We also loved the idea of colorful florals being incorporated into all the events.

We wanted the decor to be elegant for the reception. We went with a white and black theme. We even had a Vogue photobooth!

We did all of our wedding shopping in India for outfits. My Grah Santi outfit was from Siddarth Bansal. My sangeet outfit was Angad Singh. My reception outfit was Seema Gujral.

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
I always knew that I did not want a red lengha and that I would opt for a more neutral color. We walked into Aza Fashion in Delhi, and it was my mom and Palak who noticed the Rimple and Harpreet wedding lengha first! I had never imagined wearing such a colorful lengha, but it was everything I could ask for!

What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
The most enjoyable part of the process was seeing all of our thoughts come to fruition. Our wedding planners, Edith and Sha from Pyar Planning, truly made our visions come to life. We really enjoyed working with Indian Destination Weddings because they were always available and attentive to our needs. Ateet and his team helped to make a stressful process feel seamless.

What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
Our guests enjoyed the energy of our wedding- we always kept it upbeat and full of surprises. The fact that it was in Mexico was an added bonus!

Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
Our first look is a moment that was truly special. We had gotten ready separately, and poor Palak had to wait for quite some time prior to my arrival at the location. Despite waiting so long, when he saw me, he immediately had tears in his eyes. It was so surreal that after all the time we had spent planning, the day was finally here.

For events other than your ceremony, please tell us as much as you would like about the decor, style, dances, and all the special details.
Our welcome dinner was Amalfi Coast-themed decor since we had recently gone there.

Palak and I both had surprise dances for each other. He performed Delhi Wali Girlfriend with my sister during the Sangeet.

Much to his surprise, I did a surprise dance to Aaj Sajeya in the middle of the baraat.

Palak loves fireworks, and we were able to incorporate them in the middle of our rooftop sangeet!

My dad is known to be quiet and reserved, but at the reception, he and I did a performance for the father-daughter dance.

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
To enjoy every moment of planning and the wedding. It goes by so quickly, and there is so much growth that happens as a couple through the process!

Anything else you want to tell us? We'd love to hear all about your other details! (jewelry, mehndi, venue, cake, bouquets, etc.)
Our venue was Generations Resort in Riviera Maya, Mexico! We had five events in 2.5 days, all at different venues throughout the 3 resort properties.

From Mexico with love: Ripal & Palak’s wedding was a dream come true for all who attended.

When Dhwani & Vineeth decided to tie the knot in Cabo San Lucas, they weren't just planning a wedding—they were planning an experience. With the majestic Hard Rock Hotel Los Cabos as their backdrop, this Indian wedding brought together vibrant culture, oceanside glam, and a whole lot of sparkle. Spoiler alert: There was even a helicopter involved. (Yes, really.)

From the very first frame, Aventography Photo & Video Studios transported us straight into the heart of this breathtaking celebration. With their signature style—equal parts cinematic and intimate—every smile, tear, and barefoot dance move was captured with clarity and heart. Their attention to detail made each moment feel like a still from a Bollywood blockbuster with a beachside twist. Let's talk about that decor—because Zuniga Deco Cancun and Emporio Arte Floral didn't just decorate the space; they transformed it into a floral fantasy. Picture this: vibrant blooms cascading from geometric backdrops, a floral-filled mandap that looked plucked from a dream, and a statement bar wrapped in petals boldly declaring "Better Together." (We agree.)

Planning this multi-day affair took a powerhouse team. Enter Events by Vaishali, Julie Premji, and Yes In Cabo, whose seamless coordination and artistic vision turned every event into a unique and unforgettable experience. They effortlessly blended South Asian traditions with tropical chic—think colorful mehndi vibes, an emotional ceremony under open skies, and a glamorous reception dripping in gold and candlelight. Cabo Styling and Raffitagm worked their magic to make Dhwani look like royalty throughout. Let's not forget the details that added personal magic: Styling Trio's intricate henna, heartfelt notes exchanged before the ceremony, and that legendary helicopter entrance, courtesy of Fly Cabo, that had jaws dropping from the beach to the balcony. Whether she was reading her vows in a mirror dressed in a crimson lehenga or dazzling on the dance floor in a shimmering champagne gown, she radiated elegance. And Vineeth? Let's say his style game was as strong as his baraat moves.

Speaking of that—Desi Junction DJs Paras Khara and the high-energy G2 Singh Music team made sure the dance floor was never empty. Whether it was the beats at the sangeet or the dhol echoing down the beach at the baraat, guests were grooving from sunrise to moonlight. Inspire Mexico sets the mood with expert lighting and AV magic, making each celebration sparkle just a little brighter.

Every detail of Dhwani & Vineeth's wedding sparkled with love, joy, and unforgettable moments.

When you mix oceanside luxury with vibrant Indian traditions, the result is pure magic—and Shruti & Moneal’s wedding in Cancun was just that! Hosted at the stunning Moon Palace Cancun, this multi-day affair had all the right ingredients: color, culture, charm, and a whole lot of rose petals. Shruti lit up every scene with her radiant smile and show-stopping outfits. From her tropical-meets-traditional mehndi lehenga bursting with sunset tones to her classic red ceremony lengha, she embodied modern elegance with a playful twist. Moneal matched her energy, rocking a crisp ivory sherwani for the big day and looking smitten from baraat to bidaai.

One of the most unforgettable moments? The Haldi ceremony! Picture this: a sea of sunshine-yellow outfits, flower petals flying like confetti, and everyone laughing under a mandap drenched in marigold vibes. It wasn’t just a celebration—it was a color-splashed explosion of love and laughter. Another highlight? Their first look was tucked under a thatched gazebo, where Moneal couldn’t stop beaming as he saw Shruti twirl in her floral lehenga. Talk about a Bollywood moment!

Indian Destination Wedding went above and beyond as the travel concierge, making sure every guest arrived stress-free and ready to party. From coordinating group travel to navigating resort logistics, they were the behind-the-scenes MVPs who ensured this destination celebration unfolded without a hitch. Desibeatz Entertainment brought the heat to every event! Whether it was hyping up the baraat with pulsating beats or keeping the dance floor alive through the night, their energy was unmatched.

The vibe they created had everyone—from aunties to the flower girls—breaking out their best moves. Chhaya Patel, the planner and designer, curated each event with an eye for detail and a heart full of love. Styling Trio gave Shruti that effortless glow while Loto Mehndi transformed her hands into a gallery of traditional art. 

And of course, Gareth Davies Photography captured the heart and soul of Shruti & Moneal’s wedding with artistic brilliance. Every photo tells a story—whether it’s the candid giggles during the Haldi, the intricate swirls of henna, or the quiet tenderness of a sunset stroll by the palms. Gareth has a gift for making moments feel both intimate and iconic, blending vibrant color with emotion in every frame. His lens didn’t just document the events—it elevated them into timeless works of art. From golden-hour portraits to those tear-jerking ceremony glances, his work lets you relive the magic over and over again.

From a petal-perfect Haldi to a beachside ceremony framed by floral Ganesh decor, this wedding was a dream come true. Shruti & Moneal’s love story unfolded in full technicolor, and we were lucky enough to witness the magic.  And with Asha Films handling cinematography, this dream team ensured no moment was missed. Every laugh, every vow, every swirl of Shruti’s lehenga was preserved with cinematic perfection.

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
We met on Dil Mil during the pandemic while he was completing his MHA program in Chicago and I was in medical school in Virginia. We were long-distance for 2 years until he moved to Charleston, SC, for work, and I matched there a year later for residency! I knew he was the one even before we met in real life, from the endless FaceTime calls we had for months. Meeting in real life just confirmed that he was the one.

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
We went on vacation to South Africa after I graduated from medical school. He took me to the most beautiful location in Cape Town, “The Rock,” and proposed there.

Tell us how you went about planning your wedding, and your overall experience with the Venues, Hair & Makeup, Outfits, Decor Theme, and all of the other important details.
I had a wedding planner, Chhaya Patel, and she did an amazing job making sure we got everything done in time. I had no time to plan our wedding since I am in my second year of residency, but having her as our planner made all of my stress go away. We had our wedding at Moon Palace Cancun, and overall it was a good experience. I LOVED my hair and makeup artists, David and Dayana, with stylingtrio; I would recommend them to everyone.

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
I went to India to get all of my outfits, and was open-minded regarding color. I didn't really have a specific style in mind. I ended up trying on over 50 different wedding lenghas of all colors. But the one I ended up picking was the one that my dad actually picked out from day 1, and I ended up liking that one the best as well.

What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
Having it at a resort, we got to hang out with everyone for the whole week. Whether it was chilling by the pool, playing beach volleyball, or getting coffee/food between events.

Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
Dancing with everyone during our reception. We could tell that every guest was genuinely enjoying their time, not only during our reception, but during the entire wedding week, which meant a lot to me and Moneal.

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
Planning a wedding is a lot of work and can be stressful, but once you are at your wedding, just enjoy. Do not focus on or think about what is wrong; no one else is going to notice. Just have fun and be in the moment, because it will go by so fast.

Vibrant looks, heartfelt vows, and major dance floor energy—Shruti & Moneal had it all!

When Indian elegance meets coastal luxury, the result is pure magic—and Nina & Avi’s Cancun wedding is proof. Set against the serene shores of Mexico, this destination celebration was a visual masterpiece, blending rich tradition with high-fashion flair. From vibrant pre-wedding festivities to a golden beachfront ceremony and a sparkling reception finale, every event perfectly reflected their unique love story. 

Let’s start with their Sangeet at Moon Palace Grand—a night that turned up the volume on glam. Nina wore a hot pink lehenga that could probably be seen from outer space (and yes, we mean that in the best way possible), while Avi complemented her in a black embroidered sherwani that gave “regal but make it fun” energy. From playful portraits to full-on Bollywood vibes, this couple proved they were here to slay early on. From start to finish, Dream Shaadi executed the weekend to perfection. Their design expertise ensured every floral arch, shimmering aisle, and seating plan felt seamless.

We’ve seen our share of grand groom entrances, but Avi’s baraat—powered by Drums in Paradise—was a symphony of hype. Friends lifted him like a rock star, while Dynasty AVE kept the beats bumping. The sign reading “Groom Machale” said it all. It wasn’t just a celebration but a full-on pre-game to the vows. Evoketransformed the beach into a floral fantasy. The ivory mandap framed by the ocean’s horizon was elegant perfection. And Nina, walking down the aisle in a champagne-hued bridal lehenga with hand-embroidered details, was nothing short of breathtaking. Styled to perfection by Styling Trio, her look was soft, regal, and flawlessly timeless. The couple’s mirrored aisle moment? Chef’s kiss.

Behind the scenes, Indian Destination Wedding worked magic as the ultimate travel concierge for Nina & Avi’s wedding. From coordinating guest accommodations to ensuring every travel detail was flawlessly executed, their team made planning a large-scale luxury wedding abroad feel effortless. Whether guiding guests through booking flights, securing resort perks, or managing transportation logistics, they went above and beyond to create a seamless, stress-free experience for everyone involved. With their extensive knowledge of South Asian destination weddings and impeccable attention to detail, it’s no wonder many couples trust them to turn their dream celebration into reality, anywhere in the world.

And a huge round of applause for Paperboys Films, the visual masterminds behind every breathtaking frame of Nina & Avi’s celebration. From the vibrant chaos of the baraat to the soft, emotional moments shared during the ceremony, their cinematography didn’t just capture the wedding—it elevated it. With an expert eye for light, emotion, and movement, the team transformed real moments into scenes worthy of the big screen. Each shot was beautifully composed, edited with intention, and full of feeling. 

This celebration redefined the modern Indian wedding by blending tradition with stylish fashion.

Some love stories begin with grand gestures. Mira & Keval’s? It started with a Snapchat request at a college party — smooth move, Keval. What followed was a festive NYC date under twinkling holiday lights and a connection that lit up brighter than Times Square. Fast forward to a jaw-dropping proposal in Cabo at the stunning Sunset Monalisa — and yes, Keval did pull the “let’s take a picture” trick before dropping to one knee. Iconic. When it came time to say “I do,” Mira & Keval knew they wanted more than a wedding — an experience. And that’s exactly what they created with their destination celebration at the luxurious The Grand at Moon Palace. With waves as their witnesses and love in the salty air, this wedding was a beachy dream wrapped in elegance.

Let’s give a standing ovation to the incredible vendor team that brought this vision to life. Eunice Bravo orchestrated the wedding expertly, ensuring every detail aligned with Mira and Keval’s vision of intimacy, simplicity, and beauty. Ptaufiq Photography didn’t just capture memories — they bottled up the feels in every shot, from windswept mandap moments to glamorous reception portraits. Mira’s stunning bridal glow? All thanks to the talented Cinderella Bridez, who nailed every look — from bold bridal red to serene seaside glam — with artistry and heart. The team also handled her draping and styling, ensuring every dupatta was draped like a dream. And let’s not forget Loto Mehndi, whose intricate henna designs were pure elegance etched in tradition.

Of course, the couple danced the night away to beats by the phenomenal M4U Events, who took every celebration from beautiful to absolutely electric. From the minute the baraat drums kicked into the final song at the reception, everyone — aunties, uncles, and TikTok-loving cousins alike — was on their feet. Their seamless transitions, perfectly curated playlists, and feel-the-bass sound system turned each event into a high-energy celebration of love. Whether it was the emotional sway of the first dance or the full-blown dance-off that broke out at the reception, they read the room like seasoned pros and kept the party vibes soaring all weekend. Mira & Keval didn’t just have a DJ — they had a complete entertainment experience.

Let’s talk bridal slay. Mira’s wedding wardrobe was a lineup of unforgettable fashion moments. Her red bridal lehenga by Ruchika Hurria was a vision of tradition and grandeur — she just knew the moment she saw it. Her sangeet lehenga by Seema Gujral brought all the whimsical vibes. She shimmered in a jaw-dropping Vvani Vats number for the reception, perfectly paired with glittering jewels from Laxmi Jewellers. Keval’s looks from Suit Supply and beyond? Smooth, sharp, and sophisticated. For Mira, the mandap was the most soul-stirring moment of the wedding. With her dad no longer physically present, her mom, sister, and brother-in-law performed the pooja alongside her — a moment that forever etched itself into her heart. Cue the happy tears.

Another standout? The sangeet. Mira choreographed heartfelt dances for Keval and her entire family, including a touching tribute to her parents and sister. Guests couldn’t stop talking about it; we don’t blame them. Mira reminded us that while perfection may be the goal, presence is the real gift. Some things may not go as planned, and that's okay—the real magic lies in embracing the joy, taking a deep breath, and soaking in the beautiful moments happening all around you. (We’ll be over here writing that down for life!) Be sure to check out our social media for even more beautiful moments from their celebration.

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
Keval first laid eyes on Mira at a college party. It was a moment that may have seemed ordinary to some, but it would soon become unforgettable. With a burst of courage, he asked for her Snapchat. To Mira, it felt like just another casual exchange — nothing more. But to Keval, it was the beginning of something special.

The very next day, he reached out and asked her on a date. Their first outing took place in the heart of New York City, right in the middle of the holiday season — a time when the city glows with magic and charm. That night, under the twinkling lights and surrounded by festive cheer, something new began to bloom between them.

And from that moment on, the rest was history.

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
Keval and Mira have always shared a love for tropical getaways. Cabo, Mexico, had been at the top of Mira’s travel list for a while, so Keval finally decided to take her. But what Mira didn’t know was that this trip wouldn’t be just another sunny escape — it would mark the beginning of forever.

The couple stayed at the stunning Nobu Hotel in Cabo San Lucas, soaking up the luxury and ocean views. One evening, Keval casually suggested they check out a beautiful restaurant nearby. Mira agreed, unaware of what was about to unfold.

They arrived at Sunset Monalisa — a breathtaking cliffside restaurant overlooking the sea — and Mira still had no idea where they were or what was coming. After being seated, Keval excused himself, saying he had to use the restroom. Moments later, he returned with the waiter and asked Mira if she wanted to take a picture.

As she stood up, ready to pose, Keval got down on one knee and asked the magic question.

Her answer? Yes — it was always yes.

Tell us how you went about planning your wedding, and your overall experience with the Venues, Hair & Makeup, Outfits, Decor Theme, and all of the other important details.
When it came to planning our wedding, we knew we wanted an intimate celebration where we could truly connect with our closest family and friends. South Asian weddings are often grand, so we chose a destination wedding to keep it meaningful and personal. From the start, we envisioned a sunset beach ceremony — a non-negotiable detail that shaped the rest of our planning. We wanted a location that felt like a getaway but wasn’t too far for our guests. That’s how we chose Cancun, Mexico. Its stunning beaches and laid-back vibe made it the perfect backdrop for our dream wedding. Three words that defined our vision: intimate, simple, and elegant.

Every outfit I chose felt like love at first sight. I’d walk away, try to keep looking, but I couldn't stop thinking about them. That’s how I truly knew I had found the perfect look for me — they stayed on my mind and in my heart.

When it came to securing our vendors, hair and makeup were my top priority. I created a vision board for each event — not only to stay organized, but to help my artist bring every look to life. Barbie from Cinderella Bridez was an absolute dream to work with. She perfected each look just as I imagined — if not even better.

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
When I began shopping in India, I initially considered a pastel shade for my bridal dress. But the moment I tried on a red lehenga, I knew — nothing says “bride” quite like red.

What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
One of the most enjoyable parts of the planning process was our frequent trips to Cancun, Mexico, to finalize the details. While it might sound like a chore, for us, fans of beach getaways, it was the perfect way to unwind and de-stress throughout the wedding planning journey.

What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
Our guests loved the combination of a vacation and a wedding. The best part of having a destination wedding was that no one had to worry about heading home after the events. Everyone stayed fully energized and in vacation mode throughout the entire celebration.

Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
Since my dad passed away, my mom, sister, and brother-in-law performed the pooja. Having not only my mom, but also my sister and brother-in-law by my side inside the mandap was truly special. They all hold a deeply cherished place in my heart.

For events other than your ceremony, please tell us as much as you would like about the decor, style, dances, and all the special details.
When it came to the decor, I knew I wanted a simple yet elegant look that would highlight the natural beauty of the stunning resort.

My dance performances at the Sangeet were far from ordinary. I dedicated a special dance to my husband, sister, brother-in-law, nephew, and to my mom and dad, with my sister by my side. Many guests mentioned that this was the highlight of the wedding events.

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
As a bride, it’s natural to want every detail to be perfect, and you should absolutely try your best. But also remember: something may not go exactly as planned, and that’s okay. Embrace the process and soak it all in, because after two years of planning, I truly feel like I blinked and it was all over.

This destination wedding was a stunning celebration with beautifully heartfelt moments. Enjoy!
