Kanakavalli Bride : Samyuktha

They met through an app but discovered they had many mutual friends. On their first date, they ended up walking over 30 blocks as Samyuktha showed Bhavik all her old haunts from her university days. After five hours of endless conversation, they were both smitten.

Bhavik proposed to Samyuktha at a rooftop beneath the Brooklyn Bridge. Her family surprised them and they all went out to their favourite Italian restaurant followed by a comedy show. Samyuktha says this is exactly what she always wanted – an intimate, casual but thoughtful proposal.

For Samyuktha the most memorable moment was walking down the aisle towards the mandap and seeing all their close friends and family together in one place celebrating their big day.

Since she and Bhavik come from different backgrounds, they thoroughly enjoyed finding ways to bring their families together to honour both cultures.

Samyuktha’s advice for brides-to-be is to slow down and find moments to connect with family. She also suggests understanding the meaning behind various rituals and traditions to determine which ones align with the bride and her partner’s values. 

Samyuktha visited Kanakavalli with her mother, aunts and grandmother, and spent many hours looking for the perfect sari. She wanted a deep, rich colour that would stand out against the beautiful background of their venue in Udaipur, Rajasthan. For Samyuktha, it was important to be at a store that was calming and kind to her while undertaking the stressful task of choosing wedding outfits. She loved the time, effort and level of attentiveness she and her family received at Kanakavalli.

A big thank you to Samyuktha for being a beautiful Kanakavalli Bride and sharing the story of her wedding with us. We wish her and Bhavik a lifetime of love and laughter.
