Three days Indian Wedding in Crete
July in Crete set the stage for a breathtaking celebration of love, culture, and elegance. Jus & Vaibhav’s wedding spanned three unforgettable days, weaving together tradition, music, and emotion. A destination wedding that brought 100 guests from London, India, and beyond, each detail was meticulously crafted from scratch, transforming the olive groves of Arbora Villas into a living fairytale.
Day 1: Maiyan & Sangeet – A Celebration of Emotions and Joy
The celebrations began at Arbora Villas with the Maiyan ceremony, a traditional pre-wedding ritual where turmeric paste is applied to the bride and groom. This “haldi” ceremony is believed to purify, bless, and bring prosperity to the couple. Guests joined in the celebration, sharing laughter, love, and heartfelt wishes.
By evening, the Sangeet night took center stage — a lively pre-wedding party filled with music, dance, and song. Traditionally, the Sangeet is a time for both families to perform dances, sing, and celebrate the upcoming union. For Jus & Vaibhav, the night featured stunning choreography, colorful attire, and authentic Indian cuisine, blending tradition with joyous celebration.
Day 2: Indian Wedding Ceremony – Extravagance in the Olive Grove
Day two transformed the olive yard into a white-themed paradise, ready for the traditional Indian wedding ceremony. From table settings and carpets to pillows and hanging tree decorations, every detail was carefully curated to create a magical, immersive atmosphere.
Guests were swept up in the rituals, the grandeur of the heavy red bridal dress, and the energy of the dances. Every ceremony was followed by a feast of traditional Indian cuisine, each bite a celebration of flavor and culture. The olive grove became a stage for elegance, tradition, and unforgettable moments.
Day 3: Symbolic Wedding Ceremony
The celebration concluded at La Pelegrina, blending contemporary elegance with a nod to Greek culture. The symbolic wedding ceremony allowed the couple to add a personal touch to their vows, surrounded by a chic, modern setting.
A live DJ set brought the dance floor to life, mixing international hits with Indian classics. The evening’s highlight? Jus & Vaibhav’s first dance, beginning romantically and seamlessly evolving into an energetic Indian choreography — a perfect reflection of their personalities and love for celebration. Greek-inspired dishes added a local twist to the evening, completing the luxurious, multicultural finale.
