Band, Baaja, Bageecha: Celeb Garden Weddings That Will Convince You To Set-Up The Mandap In Your Backyard

Band, Baaja, Bageecha: Celeb Garden Weddings That Will Convince You To Set-Up The Mandap In Your Backyard

Backyard weddings have gained immense popularity in recent years. Especially with Bollywood shaadis happening at an unnoticeable pace, we spotted celebrities making that much-needed shift from lavish palace weddings to whimsical backyard setups. And driving that change was actress Dia Mirza who not only impressed the internet with her garden wedding but also tutored some sustainable decor ideas, that you too can try out at your shaadi. Replacing chandeliers with floral garlands, and grand stage with backyard mandaps, celebs have created a misaal in the wedding decor department and how. Documenting our favourite whimsical wedding locations where celebs said ‘I do,’ we have for you some wedding decor inspo that you can apply on your D-Day.

Dia Mirza And Vaibhav Rekhi

Actress Dia Mirza tied the knot with Vaibhav Rekhi back in February, 2021. Apart from the many points that the actress highlighted and advocated at her wedding, including the presence of a female priest, opting out of the bidaai rasam and also that stunning Raw Mango saree, Dia Mirza’s garden-special shaadi, designed by Aash Studio was all about lush greens and happiness galore. Filled with white and red flowers hanging from the huge mango tree, with her backyard garden playing the most stunning backdrop on her special day, Dia’s wedding images still have a fresh and special place in our heads. Talking about the growing craze of personalised weddings, many celebs count on their backyard buddies to celebrate their D-day.

Besides the gorgeously lit up sky, the table spread and decorated golden chairs for the invitees, every little detail added a raw touch  to the entire set-up. And keeping the idea of a sustainable, environment-friendly wedding alive, the usage of plastic in every element took a back seat. Taking cues from Dia’s wedding decor, garden weddings are easily less expensive than the massive hallways, plus the beauty of flowers and candles can largely help you solve the decor drill.

Farhan Akhtar And Shibani Dandekar

The most recent backyard wedding that surprised us all, was of actors Shibani Dandekar and Farhan Akhtar’s romantic soireé in the lush green garden of Javed Akhtar’s farmhouse. The couple’s grand wedding was all about loving the nature around. Picking the brightest of floral bouquets, the two took their nuptial vows under a big banyan tree, with a stunning floral arch, and gold glass chandelier serving as the perfect backdrop. Designed by wedding design company ALTAIR the dreamy-setup welcomed guests to experience the celebration of love. With chairs dipped in the finest prints of pink, a huge garden decorated with wooden logs used for seating, and tall candle stands, the visuals spoke about the grandeur in length.

A beautiful idea for a spring wedding, you can also opt for designer cutlery, and punctuate the classic decor setup with DIY elements, like the briefcase table and floral decor for your wedding. Ahh, this is what a dream wedding looks like.

Sanah Kapur And Mayank Pahwa

The newest Bollywood jodi to take the saath pheras is Shahid Kapoor’s sister Sanah and Mayank Pahwa. The two tied the knot in the lush greens of Maharashtra’s beautiful town of Mahabaleshwar. Organised by Spirit Soar Events, the two-day long wedding festivities were nothing short of a floral dream. From customised snack servings, floral aisle, lanterns and heavily lit-up trees, the couple’s gorgeous backyard wedding caught our attention. We also fell in love with the wooden dinner tables adorned with green leaf trails. Plus our minimalist bride and groom wedding looks stole the show, and hinted at the new flavours of Indian weddings that come with all the band, baaja and baaraat minus the ‘show sha.

Karishma Tanna And Varun Bangera

One of our favourite wedding set-ups in recent months, was of actress Karishma Tanna and beau Varun’s. Designed by Aash Studio, the Ruhani Bageecha wedding, became an instant hit on the internet. With the beautiful sky and sea being the backdrop, the decor was filled with traditional shevanti blooms, huge white flower installations, golden bells, tuberoses, brass vases and the stunning ivory mandap headlined by a gorgeous canopy.

From printed chairs to tropical cushion sleeves, every little detail equally matched the magic of the actress’ special day. Plus the rose petal filled aisle and the dulhan entry won our hearts and how.
