A Lonavala Love Story: When Mumbai Hearts Said 'I Do' in the Hills

Not every wedding is about glamour and glitz—some are about blending family tradition, tear-inducing moments, and memories to last a lifetime. That is exactly how things were for the wedding of Pratyuesh and Ankita at Della Resorts, Lonavala—and Team Bonvera Weddings was thrilled to be right in the thick of it all!

The Bride, the Groom, and A Micro-Managing Superdad

As soon as we were brought in, one thing was for sure—this wedding was going to be incredibly detailed, courtesy of the father of the groom, who (in the best way imaginable) pro-'micro-managed!' He was present from the coordination with the vendors to the minute-by-minute napkin folding, and to be frank, he made our job SO easy. We adore couples who are as excited about every detail as we are!

Persuading the Bride's Family: Challenge Accepted

We understand—being a planner is suspect to some families. Ankita's family, being traditional and close-knit, required some persuasion. But by the time it was all said and done, they were the greatest allies of Bonvera Weddings. Seeing the trust develop throughout the events was one of our greatest triumphs—and evidence yet again that luxury wedding planners aren't all about decorations, it's about facilitating feelings, too!

The Celebrations: Colour, Culture & Crazy Good Vibes

Souk Style Mehendi Mayhem

Picture colorful Moroccan tones, games, and loads of smiles. Mehendi was such a happy affair full of quirky little nooks and high-energy atmosphere. Souk theme swept everyone off their feet!

Sangeet: Dedications & Nostalgia

This was different. From breathtaking emotional surprises (yes, even customized hankies were arranged for the guests!) to tear-jerking performances, this was a night to cherish. Bride Ritika's sister performed an emotional dance number that had everyone grinning. Ankita's mom welcomed the new hubby-in-law into the family in a warm embrace—something frozen in time forever.

Haldi: Bridgerton Goes Desi

Yes, you heard that right. A Bridgerton-filmed flower Haldi in pastels, umbrellas, and loads of happy haldi craziness. The bride and the groom twirled their way to the stage, and the whole vibe was uncontainable. Guests enjoyed it. Insta enjoyed it. We enjoyed it.

Wedding Day: Mandap Magic & Fireworks over the Mountains

The pheras were under the mandir-shaped mandap, in brass band frenzy and baraat chaos. And the mic-drop highlight of highlights? A stunning fireworks-and-jaimala spectacle against the background of mountains. Magic in every aspect.
