Planning to get hitched is no easy feat, but for brand strategist Divya Khandelwal and software engineer Aman Kapurâs larger-than-life nuptials with 1500 guests, wedding planning was bound to go to the next level. Part of the mayhem of a big fat Indian wedding is to have certain grounds to agree on. For the Jaipur-based couple, this was the overall ethos of the celebrationâwhich was to make the event about their heritage and roots, and the manifestation of memories in a truly sustainable fashion. Devika Narain, the luxury wedding designer behind the affair, says, âOne of the trademarks of the modern Indian wedding is that theyâre becoming very personalâa reflection of who they are. Itâs almost as though each wedding has a personality of its own. Normally people walk in and say âThis is what weâd like our wedding to be. They walked in and said, âThis is what we do. Now what can you do with this?ââ
