While weddings have downsized a lot these days, thanks to the pandemic and the promptly named 'new normal', having a fairytale wedding is not impossible. All you need is the one you love and dreamy decor that can turn your hopes of having a beautiful, whimsical wedding, into reality.  

Such was the wedding celebration of Aakriti and Prateek. Nestled in the midst of an oak forest, the couple's wedding took place at The Lake Resort in the Kumaon Hills of Uttarakhand. Surrounded and inspired by nature's grandeur, Aakriti and Prateek tied the knot in the most gorgeous setting ever, thanks to their planners and decorators, Aash Studios.

Introducing Aakriti & Prateek's Scenic Wedding in Uttarakhand Hills

When Aakriti and Prateek first met each other through work, they never imagined the road fate would take them down. The couple had a glorious time getting to know each other and when the time came, Prateek wasted no time in popping the question. However, the proposal was a comedy of errors, as recounted by the couple!

Recalling the story behind their proposal, Aakriti revealed, "The short version is that we were in Cambodia at the time, and he took me to this island called Song Saa for my birthday. There, he proposed to me at sunrise against the most unreal backdrop leaving me no choice but to emphatically say yes! The long version is that it cost us one injured knee, an almost capsizing boat, 2 drowned phones and a nose bleed to get that ring on my finger. And the theatrics only made the proposal story better, it was more us!"

Having always been a fan of whimsical decor inspired by natural, earthy elements, the couple decided to get married at The Lake Resort in Naukuchiatal. The wedding was organised, planned and decorated by ShaadiSaga's favourite Aash Studios. But the celebration didn't come without its challenges. With 2 days of unprecedented extreme weather conditions that threatened to literally drench the entire wedding decor, the couple and their planners faced pouring rain and a hail storm before they could get the show on the road. However, thanks to the grit of their wedding planners, Aakriti and Prateek were able to hold a stunning wedding celebration with the glorious hills of Uttarakhand in the backdrop!

For their intimate wedding, the couple stepped out dressed in glorious outfits which made them radiate more than ever. Aakriti wore a beautiful orange and pink lehenga from Ekaya with beautiful bronze gota work which she paired with a stunning jewellery set and minimal makeup. Prateek, on the other hand, chose a white sherwani with a dhoti from Vanshik Menswear along with a white safa, a combination that looked ethereal in contrast to his bride's outfit!
