A dream wedding is all about grandeur. Lavish spreads,
beautiful decorations, floral designs and the list is endless. You want your
wedding to be a royal affair and something that stays on the memories forever. Enough
of those wedding in hotel banquets and walled halls, it’s time to have a
wedding the Glamorous style.We all have seen or experienced those big fat
Indian weddings and always dreamt of having our wedding done the same way.
Inspired by the rural wedding setup, the design is based on
the concept of the customary courtyard space called ‘wadi’. Right from the
onset, the design process has been about imparting varied experiences!
Beginning at the entry, with the well-planted travellers’ palm creating an
appealing and soothing welcome, the design dwells into crafting traditional
elements like ‘dellu’ (a notable character at Gujarati weddings), water bodies
and series of courtyards.Building courtyards within courtyards, has not only
resonated with the idea of a wadi, but has also aesthetically resolved the
architect’s conscious attempt to create seclusion. Consequently, the final
designed space depicts great intensity and leisurely appeal, befitting the aura
of a ceremonial occasion, cutting one off from the outer world, though
temporarily. Enhancing this is the remarkably high surrounding compound wall
that reinstates the experience holistically.
As widespread as approx. 8000 sq. yards, this large urban
space is a blend between traditional and modern expressions. While the main
entrance gate is a contemporary design, the jallis (trellis) used at the
entrance are enthused from pol house windows. This predefined juxtaposition is
further seen in the architecture, lighting design, furniture pieces and other
elements.
