Actor Athiya Shetty and cricketer KL Rahul tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at Athiya’s father Suniel Shetty’s Khandala farmhouse on January 23. The huge farmhouse, which is surrounded by scenic beauty all around, served as the perfect venue for the couple's elegant and private wedding affair. Sharing her gratitude for being able to get hitched at her father’s Khandala residence, Athiya in an Instagram post wrote, “Today, with our most loved ones, we got married in the home that’s given us immense joy and serenity. With a heart full of gratitude and love, we seek your blessings on this journey of togetherness”.

All the pre-wedding festivities were also held at the Khandala farmhouse, which is located in the midst of lush greenery and hills. Rani Pink Gifts, the company responsible for the decoration of the venue, shared that its creative sensibilities completely aligned with that of Athiya’s and that the designers had a blast decking up the place. “Designing for this wedding was such an absolutely gorgeous process, the kind we yearn for and stand for,” they wrote in an Instagram post.

The decoration’s central focus was adorning the farmhouse with natural flowers. According to the designer team, Athiya and Rahul wished to have one colour theme flowers for each of their functions. For Haldi, the farmhouse was decked up with yellow marigold flowers while for the main wedding day, they opted for serene and scented white jasmine flowers. “The storyline for each day was different yet the foundation of our design stayed intact,” the designer said.
