Vibrant Chennai Wedding Of A Couple Who Planned Their Wedding From Abroad!

When you are in based out of India and have your wedding back home, it's never easy. Booking vendors and venues virtually, numerous shopping trips, and of course getting everything implemented- not easy, but kudos who those who do it with the help of friends and family. Harini and Aswin had their vibrant Chennai wedding despite being settled in the US, and we loved the happiness the photos clicked by Rohan Mishra Photography★ 5 are radiating!

Meet Harini and Aswin

We were an early pandemic couple and funny enough, met through a WhatsApp group! Pretty ironic for two people in the US that barely use it but one text lead to many late night FaceTimes, and a beautiful weekend together during the winter in NYC.

Wedding

From The Bride:

Our wedding took place on June 10, 2022. We wanted a good mix of traditional and modern and wanted to make sure some aspect of a colorful Boho style was included. We got that and more and couldn't have been happier.  

Our major focus of wedding planning was having trusted vendors, planning this abroad. We were so lucky to have the team of vendors we had and appreciated that our families felt the same way. We had a devoted shopping trip where I went to Chennai for silk saree shopping in Kanchipuram and we matched Aswin's outfits online and closer to the wedding date. Grateful to have core memories of shopping for wedding jewelry and clothes with my extended family in Chennai whom I only see every few years.

Vendor Reviews

Photography: Rohan Mishra Photography

As a US-based NRI couple, we’re extremely fortunate to have worked with Rohan, Pooja and team. They were an essential part of why our wedding was a resounding success—not only did me and my husband love working with them but so did our families, friends, and guests with whom Rohan’s team equally covered and showcased in the best possible ways.

Venue: MCC Hall

We had our 3 day wedding at MCC Hall on ECR Road behind the beach and couldn’t have been happier with the management, venue, location, and more! Praveen is great to work with- accommodating, responsive, and willing to help any time you need. There was a beautiful outdoor space where we had our sangeet night. It’s a good mix of traditional & modern for the newer generation couples!

Makeup Artist: Revathi 

 5/5 is not enough to express the outstanding, beautiful work Revathi did for my wedding. Her work was nothing short of excellent; she made sure to take in any specific requests I had along with creative hair & floral looks for each of my events. She preserved the natural look & matched the vibe of each event so well! Her uniqueness, creativity, and around the clock dedication is what makes her work stand out.

Decor: Pink Parrots

Pink Parrots - They surpassed our expectations on all aspects. From being innovative on the design aspect to offering valuable feedback as we tweaked through the design phase, we appreciated their eye for detail! They made it easy to communicate and go to them anytime we had questions which was key planning our wedding abroad.

Mehendi Artist:  HennabyFabee

Loved the eye to details on my mehndi! From adding details of our love story to being flexible on timing of applying mehndi during the event, she was a treat to work with. Nothing short of excellent!

Catering: Sri Vinayaga Catering

We had a local caterer and they surpassed our expectations of fusion food and our specific requirements to accommodate both our Indian and US guests! They individually addressed the our needs during and in between events and we're so glad we chose them for our event. Our families had worked with them for separate events in the past and it's been nothing short of exceptional.
