The couple, who have been together for over 13 years, celebrated their commitment surrounded by nature, with primarily minimal and elegant decorations enhancing the outdoor venue. "25.2.25," Prajakta shared on social media with heart emojis, announcing their happily ever after along with the details of their custom outfits from renowned designer Anita Dongre.
Prajakta wore stunning cream-colored Pichhwai lehenga adorned with hand-painted Parijaat flowers—flowers tied closely to her name.

Prajakta complemented her bridal look with jewels crafted by Anita Dongre, which included golden chokers, earrings, and bangles, adding to her ethereal charm.

The couple painted the town red prior to their wedding, sharing glimpses of their pre-wedding festivities, including mehendi, haldi, and sangeet celebrations. These joyous occasions set the tone for what was to come—a promise of love and commitment easily visible to everyone present.
During the haldi ceremony, they delighted guests with vibrant décor reflecting their personal styles, highlighted by marigold flowers and clay pots—a nod to the couple’s shared outlook on simplicity and warmth.

Reflecting on their incredible 13-year relationship, it was evident to all guests how deeply connected Prajakta and Vrishank are.

Through their early years of exchanging messages on Blackberry Messenger, their bond transformed from friendship to romance, making this union all the more special.
Their engagement marked another milestone last year, when Vrishank chose the serene backdrop of West Virginia's waterfall trail to propose. Prajakta, reliving the moment, shared, "I tried to make it as discreet as possible, but I had my suspicions. I had already got my nails done!" The two enjoyed a cozy post-proposal celebration, strengthening their relationship even more.

Their wedding weekend commenced with heartfelt welcome lunches and poolside mehendi, embracing their love for the outdoors. Guests expressed joy seeing the orbs of delightful colors and scents, which painted the outdoor ceremony.
Prajakta's intriguing lehenga, which played with gorgeous floral motifs and pockets, was fastened with care and precision, ensuring the outfit sparked awe. The ensemble's craftsmanship highlighted the work of artisans from SEWA, who contribute to the empowerment of rural women, which was of great significance to Prajakta.
