Here is a list of homegrown brands and people that put up the grand show at Ambani's pre-wedding celebration with their allure, ideas and executions.
In the past few days, the entire nation has been busy witnessing the big fat pre-wedding celebration of Anant Ambani, Director of the Boards of Jio Platforms Limited, and Radhika Merchant, Marketing Director at Encore Healthcare. We were bombarded with numerous celebrity posts and glimpses of the festivities, but amidst these starry spotlights, we noticed some local brands that shone at the pre-wedding extravaganza. These homegrown brands were part of this grandiose event and took 'vocal for local' to another level.
Invitation Card by Itchha Talreja Designs
The beautiful pre-wedding invitation was made by Itchha Talreja Designs in association with Manish Malhotra with synergies from various people. The designs were made by Shambhavi and Jasdeep Singh. Designed for the grandest pre-wedding affair, the invitation mirrored Mrs. Nita Ambani’s vision. The chintz motif showcased mangoes, inspired by the mango orchards at Vantara, while heart-shaped parrots symbolized the essence of courtship. The event, titled 'Evening in Everland,' featured fountains, peacocks, and a glasshouse. 'Walk on the Wild Side' unfolded within the Vantara rescue centre in a tent, surrounded by animals that harmonized with the surroundings. 'Tusker Trails' immersed guests in afternoon splendor amidst mango orchards, surrounded by gentle giants. The grand finale, 'Hastakshar,' showcased diverse temples, with the pinnacle being the inclusion of the family’s cherished banyan tree, standing tall as a symbol of enduring heritage and pride.
