The ceremony itself was intentionally brief and celebratory. The couple entered together during a shared baraat, holding hands. “We didn’t want separate entries,” Tuli explained. “For me, my moment was that both of us are together.” According to the priest, it was the first time he had witnessed morning pheras with 100 percent guest attendance. Every single person invited was present.
Later that evening, the celebrations continued with a cocktail and sangeet, followed by a final after-party. DJs Tryps and MaxSmacks took over across the nights. “Our bones are still aching,” Tuli said.
Throughout the wedding, the couple chose to let go of rituals that didn’t feel relevant to them. There was no sagan, no ring ceremony, no cake cutting. “We wanted people to come and enjoy,” Tuli said. “Without the pressure of giving or taking.”
One of the most memorable moments came early on, during the haldi and mehendi. As Sarkar shared, “Devanshi’s mother and nani and the family sang Punjabi tappe as they played dholki.” For a wedding that brought together Punjabi and Bengali traditions, it was an unexpected and deeply personal moment.
Food and drink were planned with the same thoughtfulness. Menus differed across events, centred around local Mandawa flavours, with an emphasis on portioning and avoiding wastage. Cocktail menus were created separately for each celebration.
Fashion, unsurprisingly, played a central role. For Tuli, who has been a stylist for over a decade, the priority was comfort and movement. “I didn’t want to wear anything that made me feel like a mannequin,” she said. “We were hosting people. We had to move, dance, be present.”
For the haldi and mehendi, both Tuli and Sarkar wore custom looks by their close friend Aseem Kapoor. Tuli opted for a layered ensemble anchored by a metallic, floral-appliquéd corset bodysuit, paired with an Uzbek ikat velvet jacket finished with multicoloured tassels and an indigo organza pleated skirt featuring a Nazca line print. She replaced traditional floral jewellery with vintage silver pieces and wore boots, keeping her fringe intact. Sarkar wore a double-breasted Bhoomi Grid jacket in red and green cotton linen, detailed with Nazca motif appliqués, paired with structured ghagri trousers, vintage silver jewellery, custom headgear by Harubhai Zaveri, and boots.
For the baithak, Tuli chose an ivory cotton Banarasi lehenga by Anita Dongre, detailed with gota patti, zardozi, and threadwork, paired with a jalal dupatta. Her hair was tied into a braided bun with mogras, and she wore heritage jewellery by Shri Paramani, including jadau earrings and pearl bangles. Sarkar wore an ivory kurta, blazer, and trousers by Suket Dhir.
