An exclusive wedding story

Picture this; wedding at stunning country side of Delhi, reception at the picturesque Rydges rooftop in Auckland. Lehengas by Sabyasachi and Ritu Kumar, a beautiful bride marrying her long time love Vaibhav. The outcome was a wedding that was filled with class, elegance and lots of love.

Pieu and Vaibhav knew each other since high school in Auckland but the true feelings only surfaced  when Vaibhav moved to Australia. The quote 'Distance makes the heart go fonder' was definitely true in this story. After 7 years of love and friendship they decided to tie the knot. For Pieu, the wedding planning had started long back even before she knew that the wedding was supposed to happen. She wanted a big fat Indian wedding and the final outcome which we will discuss soon was better than all that she could wish for.

It is not easy to plan a wedding in a different country but as Pieu says a loving family can make it all possible. Pieu flew to Delhi, India to finalise her outfits few months before the wedding. This is particularly important to note for brides, you can research a lot over the internet but nothing beats trying the outfits in person. Shop with an open mind and don't be restricted to trying a particular style that you would have liked on the internet.

We start with the pre wedding festivities the sagan and henna night where Pieu wore elegant clothes bought from Delhi Emporium.

Adoring bridesmaids flew all the way from New Zealand for Pieu's big day.

Wedding ceremony was set in Alipur which is on the outskirts of Delhi. Pieu wanted a country side wedding and finding MH One Resort was exactly the picture she had painted in her mind for her wedding.

She wore a beautiful Sabyasachi Lehenga that was traditional as well as elegant at the same time.

The reception took place in Auckland, NZ at the Rydges Rooftop. At this event Pieu wore a beautiful Ritu Kumar Lehenga and her makeup was done by Abbie Gardiner.

For Pieu this wedding much more than she had imagined. Most importantly she was happy to be celebrating with family and friends who came together from different parts of the world.  She even got to celebrate this milestone in two places she can call home; Delhi and Auckland. We wish Pieu and Vaibhav an amazing life ahead.
