A Bollywood-style wedding at Samode Palace, full of colour, charming desi decor, and vintage-car romance.

It looked like a Bollywood wedding, full of colour, charming desi decor, and a palace-meets-vintage-car setting. The sweet lehenga shots and the “bride” robe, all bundled into one sweet wedding. Samode Palace will always be our favourite, most beautiful place to have a wedding!

Ritika and Vivek's destination wedding at Samode Palace in Rajasthan was a celebration fit for royalty. This 475-year-old palace, nestled in the Aravalli hills just an hour from Jaipur, combines centuries of Rajput heritage with modern luxury, making it one of India's most coveted wedding venues. From the moment guests arrived through the ornate arched gateway, they were transported to an era of maharajas and grand celebrations.

The palace's stunning Sheesh Mahal (Hall of Mirrors), with its thousands of tiny mirrors and hand-painted frescoes, served as the breathtaking backdrop for the couple's mehndi ceremony. The sangeet night unfolded in the palace's magnificent courtyard, where centuries-old walls echoed with modern Bollywood music and joyful laughter. It was a mesmerizing blend of old-world charm and contemporary celebration.
