Darshy and Aurnen met through mutual friends about eight years ago and they instantly hit it off! He proposed by re-doing their first date, which was dinner at Squires Loft and a walk around the Royal Botanical Gardens **swoons like a teenager**.
We were able to get a few special details about their big day from the bride herself, check it out below!
How did you choose your wedding gown?
Adarshna: “I walked in with a slight idea of what I liked. I checked out heaps of pages on Instagram. I was lucky enough to find my dress at the second store we tried. I had my bridesmaids with me and their reactions sealed the deal for me.”
Number of guests at your wedding:
Adarshna: “I’m Fijian Indian and he’s Assyrian, so that automatically meant our wedding was never going to be small. We had 250 guests in total including the kiddies.”
What sort of style did you envision for your wedding day?
Adarshna: “I wanted it to be elegant and fun. I had a wall to wall white flower wall by Melbourne EventFlorals which really made the venue stand out. It was beautiful.
What was your favorite moment from the day?
Adarshna: “My favorite moment of the day was sitting in the car with my new husband on our way to the photoshoot (which was at the Royal Botanical Gardens). This was the first time where it was just the two of us, freshly married. Still makes me smile thinking about it ☺”
If you could do it all over again, what would you change?
Adarshna: “As cliché as this sounds, I wouldn’t change a thing. If I were to go back in time I would do m ybest to soak up every moment as much as I could.”
Any tips that you can give to future brides?
Adarshna: “Before you walk down the aisle, just stop for a moment. Stand there and take a deep breath and just simply let the moment take you. All of those people are out there for you and for your happiness. This is your moment which you will remember forever. I know everything will seem like a blur at the time and your heart will be racing, but just be in the moment. You deserve all the happiness in the world!”
