Their story first…

1 fort wedding love

Palki and Akhilesh were together in college, but as destiny would have it, they started dating only after their course was over. They were together for 5 years before they tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony at Diggi Palace, Jaipur on the 14th of May, 2017. Planned by the couple themselves, in only a month, it was a two-day affair with a lifetime of memories.

We totally love the pretty, vibrant lehenga that Palki wore. The outfit was designed by the designer duo, Monika Nidhii. And did you notice her customized blouse? It reads ‘Bride-To-Be’ along with their wedding hashtag, #PalkiAkhi. So cool, right?!

‘I was sure from the beginning that I would not wear red or maroon on my wedding day. I wanted something more summer appropriate,’ shares the bride. Palki picked up this gorgeous mint and pink lehenga from a store in Jammu, her hometown. Interestingly, Akhilesh designed all his outfits himself.
