Ashok & Keerthi - Wedding

There is something charming about outdoor weddings, and it's even more special when the space is meaningful to you. So when Ashok and Keerthi approached us to design their tamil murai wedding on their farm, set amongst beautiful fields frequented by peacocks, as a celebration that was one with nature, we knew that it was going to be absolutely magical.

Keerthi’s saree wove together elements close to her heart, taking inspiration from her mother's beloved wedding saree. Matthew hand illustrated the different elements and Ranga, a weaver from Kancheepuram brought them to life.
Decor​​​​​​​
The stage itself was airy and light, more like a piece of art that enhanced the already stunning backdrop.

The decor was designed to connect with the surroundings by using local flowers like manoranjitham and sampangi, red earth to elevate the aisle, limestone, coconut leaves and hay bales sourced from the farm and small details like salangai bunches to add texture.

Food
The menu was curated to include elements that connected with both Keerthi and Ashok's Native localities with highlights like maapillai sodhi, paruthipaal paayasam, iruttukadai halwa, sandhavai and more. Star ingredients of their farm like narthangai, kidarangai, sapotta, mango, jackfruit, sweet potato, plantain, jamun etc., found a place in the menu with a twist to their flavors, to offer the guests an essence of the local, reinterpreted in a contemporary way.
The guests took home an assortment of timeless sweets and snacks, including kamarkattu and naatu sakkarai laddoos put together by a local sweetshop.  
All the details were curated consciously, avoiding plastic, opting for natural fabrics and using locally sourced ingredients, materials and labour. The waste was carefully collected and segregated, and all biodegradable components were composted right on the farm itself.
Windswept fields against a golden dawn, fragrant flowers, delicious food, laughter, love and hearts full of joy - just a few of our favourite things from this magical wedding that we loved putting together for Ashok and Keerthi!
