Despite the intimate nature of the celebration, it was by no means a lowkey affair. Luxury wedding planner Aash Studio took to social media to share behind-the-scenes snippets of the mehendi ceremony, featuring elaborate floral arrangements and larger-than-life installations in bright hues.

Aashna Saran, founder of Aash Studio, told indianexpress.com that the flowers were the most carefully curated thing they had on hand, and the decorations took a month of detailing and sampling. “From creating beautiful shapes of flowers, getting lakhs of carefully carved sola wood flowers made by Indian artisans and then dyeing them in beautiful colours, a lot went into creating the magical carnival ‘Mastani Mehendi’,” she said, adding that they also “motorised the flowers to have beautiful movements and make the dream come alive.”

“Months of meticulous planning, mood boarding, and sampling. We were very sure with the families guidance that beyond this event being beautiful it had to be meaningful (sic),” they revealed in the caption of their video.

They shared further insights into working with 500 artisans from all over the country. “Handwoven crochet flowers, to a crochet blanket made with 50 women from their homes, cane weaving techniques for furniture, women lead organisations to create cross stitch panels made for the stage,” read their caption.

Previously, Gautam Adani had shared pictures of the wedding on social media. He wrote on X: “With the blessings of Almighty God, Jeet and Diva tied the sacred knot of marriage today. The wedding took place in Ahmedabad with traditional rituals and Shubh Mangal Bhaav among loved ones. It was a small and extremely private function, so we could not invite all the well-wishers even if we wanted to, for which I apologise. I sincerely seek blessings and love from all of you for my daughter Diva and Jeet.”
