This was surely memorable one. Sukyanka and Lutz – all we can say is the perfect fit! I remember our first meeting with the couple – cute, handsome and very progressive. The supremely organized yet laid back and friendly nature of Lutz and Sukanya took to us immediately.
We planned the wedding with for over 5 months with the couple and Ms. Meena Sanyal (mother of the bride). This Indo-German wedding was going to be one fun affair due to the cultural confluence. This brigs us to think that most inter cultural weddings are filled with an air of excitement, surprises and vibrancy as the families break away from the serious moments of the wedding and enjoy a culture new to them. We met for several meeting and scheduled for taking up segments of the wedding each meeting hence covering invites, budgets, décor, guest management, hotel, venue recces etc.
The wedding colours were yellow, orange, purple and white. The invite designed for the wedding had the similar flow of colours and the itinerary notes as well. Guests flew in Germany and across India and were put up at hotels across the city and welcomed with packaged gift hampers in all rooms.
Mehndi and Sangeeth was held at Anghana – Kanakaura road. Street food and chaats for mehndi and barbeque and spirits for the Sangeeth. This day was designed with colouful diwan seating, floral carpets and shear fabric hangings across the venue.
The interesting element of the Sangeeth was Polterabend. This is a German custom which involves smashing plates and china (but not glass) as a sign of good luck for the married couple. The idea is that these plates will be broken, but never the marriage. At the end of the fun, the bride and groom have to clean up all of the shards and pieces. The Polterabend usually turns into a fun, informal party with the couples’ friends, family, and neighbors.

The wedding held at Tamarind tree Kanakapura road begun with Haldi and moved into baraat, varmala and a serene, meaningful yet entertaining Arya Samaj wedding. We absolutely love the arya samaj weddings and the way it is conducted.
Tamarind tree is a wedding planners paradise as the place has such immense scope for design and décor. The venue was decorated with marigolds, but this time used as individual stalks and not the entire length.
The wedding transitioned into a reception. Sukanya was dressed in the exact same outfit as Lutz’s grandmother that was worn by his mother at her wedding as well.
We wish you load of love and nothing but the best in life!
