Kiren & Sandeep’s Wedding Celebrations – Part 2 – Kiren’s Ladies Sangeet
And here as promised is the second post from Kiren and Sandeep’s amazing wedding celebrations. Kiren’s Ladies Sangeet was the night before the actual wedding day and it was a great night, full of special ceremonies and lots of laughs… and of course some wicked dancing.
Here’s Kiren’s party…
The ladies had decorated the room and the colours were so vibrant – it looked fab.
At Kiren’s Ladies Sangeet the Choora (Bangle Ceremony) was performed. Kiren’s family took it in turns to place red and white bangles on her wrist… she will wear these bangles throughout the first few weeks of marriage.
A second part of Kiren’s Choora involved the ladies tying ornaments made of silver and gold to the bangles and then attaching earrings to her. She was truly sparkling…
There was some singing at Kiren’s Ladies Sangeet and also some entertainment, which involved pretend gifts from the other side of the family. There was much giggling at the choice of ‘gifts’ from the new side of the family.
And then into the dancing. Similar to Sandeep’s party there was more dancing with the Jaggo. Although Kiren had two Jaggo’s at her party (of course!)… and the dance floor was rocking from there on in. Even Niels was spotted moving in time to the tunes…
And so the debate is on as to which side of the family are better dancers. We’ll sit on the fence and say both pre-wedding parties were fantastic… athough just wait until you see the next post of their actual wedding day. Coming really soon…

Real Life Wedding: Drumtochty Castle
Drumtochty Castle weddings in autumn are simply magical. Andrea and Mike planned theirs to perfection – with the sage greens and golds and oranges of the flowers creating a warmth within the castle as well as outwith.
Getting to know these two as been a lot of fun. They make a top team and have a similar wonderful sense of humour. Highlights from their day include Andrea’s walk down the aisle, the emotional readings, the quaich ceremony (led by Uncle John), the speeches (Andrea’s killer line announcing “Mike I have made you a better person” had the room in stitches). And of course the most brilliant first dance.
Real Life Wedding: Mansfield Traquair
Laura and Calum’s wedding was always going to be a day filled with smiles a-plenty and the kind of party atmosphere that fills Mansfield to its rooftops. It was such a privilege to photograph this wedding as it feels like we’ve known Laura forever and meeting Calum and little Rae has been a delight.
Words these two would use to sum up their wedding are sentimental, sincere and silly… it was a day jam-packed with friends, family, fun and a wee dram or two of Fluffylump.
Real Life Wedding: Royal College of Physicians
The Royal College of Physicians is a little piece of wedding magic right in the heart of Edinburgh City Centre. For Isla and Patrick it was nothing short of perfect.
It’s a known fact that they are besotted with each other. In the best kind of way which means they look out for each other and take the time to check-in (even on the wedding morning) But also they include all of their family and friends which makes everyone love them more Their vows were the most beautiful vows we have ever heard, but then they are both exceptionally gifted with words so we should have expected nothing less.
