When Mihir and Aradhana tied the knot in Liverpool, it wasn’t just a wedding, it was a storybook brought to life. The couple, whose seven-year long-distance romance spanned London and Liverpool, wanted more than a ceremony; they wanted their love story, rich with adventure, romance, and family heritage, to unfold across three unforgettable days. And who better to turn this vision into reality than 1SW Events, an official Wedded Wonderland partner and one of the UK’s most sought-after wedding planning and décor experts?
From the first conversation, 1SW Events knew this wouldn’t be a “one-size-fits-all” wedding. Mihir and Aradhana’s vision was crystal clear: “British Heritage Meets Indian Tradition.” The challenge? Marrying Liverpool’s iconic grandeur with vibrant Indian rituals and 1SW Events delivered with precision, creativity, and a flair for drama.
Every element of the wedding was intentional. Candle shades were meticulously chosen, floral tones harmonized perfectly, and personal touches like a custom couple crest honoring family and life milestones, layered the celebration with meaning. The result? A series of events that told a cohesive, heartfelt story while leaving guests awestruck.
1SW Events took storytelling to the next level, using color progression to mirror the couple’s journey:
Haldi: Bursts of sunshine yellows and golds symbolizing the first sparks of joy.
Mehendi: Pastel florals and royal Bridgerton-inspired whimsy representing budding love.
Wedding Ceremony & Dinner: Deep reds, burgundies, and opulent florals reflecting passion and commitment.
Reception: Creams, golds, and candlelight evoking serenity, elegance, and the couple’s “happily ever after.”
From grand floral staircases at Liverpool Town Hall to floating chandeliers and candlelit walkways, each space created a chapter of Mihir and Aradhana’s love story.
The magic behind this celebration wasn’t just in aesthetics, it was in collaboration. 1SW Events worked closely with the couple, creating moodboards, 2D and 3D layouts, and custom elements. Daily WhatsApp chats, late-night idea swaps, and in-person walkthroughs ensured every detail, from floral arrangements to music cues was flawless.
“The journey of designing alongside them was as memorable as the final celebration itself,” shared the team at 1SW Events.
Mihir and Aradhana’s romance was legendary: a first date hiking in the Peak District with squished peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, a seven-year long-distance affair, and a Bollywood-style proposal under the full moon in Aruba. These moments became tangible in the wedding design:
Candlelit aisles reminiscent of the proposal in Aruba.
A bespoke wishing tree at the Reception where guests shared memories and advice.
Personalized floral and LED installations highlighting their love story and wedding hashtag.
Cultural traditions blended seamlessly, with vibrant Haldi celebrations, whimsical Mehendi décor, intense wedding reds, and serene, candlelit Reception elegance. British heritage shone through in the architectural splendor of St George’s Hall and Liverpool Town Hall, creating a true fusion of worlds.
Mihir and Aradhana’s wedding not just an event, but a living anthology of love.
