With our families by our side

Zoya & Shreyas

February 11-13, 2027
Backwater Ripples · Kumarakom · Kerala

Kalamkari tree of life holding the story of Zoya and Shreyas: an Air India plane, a New York taxi, a cricket bat, chessmen, books, birds, and a dog at its roots

Follow the water

Many good things in our story seem to happen near water.

So we picked a spot on a lake, in the corner of Kerala where everything slows down, and for three days it will be full of our favourite people.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you.

Three days on the water

Holi × Haldi

Thursday, February 11 · 1:00 PM onwards

Two months into dating, Zoya and Shreyas went to a Holi party in Williamsburg with friends. We threw colours, danced, sang, and didn’t want it to end. We want to recreate that same day with the people we love. It may start civilised. It will not stay that way.

Dress: whites you’re willing to sacrificeOld white kurtas, tees, sundresses, linen shirts, salwars.

Welcome Dinner

Thursday, February 11 · 7:00 PM onwards

Every night, Zoya says that she wants something simple for dinner. Only Shreyas knows that “simple” means a three-course meal with dessert. So yes, you will be fed like it’s the only thing that matters because… it is.

Dress: breezy cottons & linensLinen shirts, cotton kurtas, cotton saris, sundresses, palazzos, midi dresses, sandals. Lakeside, not ballroom.

Baraat

Zoya wanted Shreyas to enter in a Rolls Royce. Shreyas wanted to enter in an auto rickshaw. Their compromise is a speed boat. Also, Zoya wants to join the baraat. She just might, you’ll find out.
