The wedding ceremony, conducted indoors at Hyatt Regency Orlando, featured a round mandap design with floral accents and a champagne-colored backdrop. A raised aisle adorned with fresh flower petals and floating candles led to the mandap, where the couple exchanged vows amidst family and friends. The reception, also held indoors at Hyatt Regency Orlando, boasted a starlight backdrop, floral arches, and mirror-top estate tables adorned with candles and candelabras.
Throughout the festivities, music played a central role, with surprise performances from the bride, groom, and bridal party adding to the excitement. The first dance featured a mix of romantic melodies, while the father/daughter and mother/son dances showcased sentimental favorites. The evening concluded with a group performance, including Bollywood fusion dances and popular hits.
Among the memorable moments were Achal’s surprise proposal in Miami, the couple’s magical pre-wedding shoot in Rajasthan, India, and the heartfelt performances from family and friends during the Sangeet Garba and reception. Despite the challenges of planning a large wedding, Nisma and Achal relied on the support of their loved ones and vendors to create a memorable celebration.
Reflecting on their wedding journey, Nisma and Achal offer advice for couples planning their special day: “Stay organized, communicate openly with your partner, and don’t sweat the small stuff. Enjoy every moment because it goes by in a flash!” While there were inevitable mishaps along the way, the couple now looks back and laughs, cherishing the memories of their joyous union.
