Mansi & Umang: Indian Wedding at Villa Erba, Lake Como

An Indian Wedding at Villa Erba

Mansi and Umang celebrated their Indian wedding over several days at Villa Erba in Cernobbio, on Lake Como, bringing their traditions, colours and music to one of the most elegant villas on the lake. The wedding was planned by Iles Events Italy, with design by Studio Dednc and flowers by Riccardo Ciceri.

An Indian wedding is a celebration of colour and music: everyone dances, nobody holds back, and the energy never drops, from the first beat of the dhol to the last song of the night. Indian weddings are some of the most demanding we film, with several events, hundreds of guests and moments that happen all at once, and every time the result is worth it.

The Sangeet

The celebration opened with the sangeet in the park of the villa: henna on the bride’s hands, colourful outfits, family photos on the steps of Villa Erba and a garden party on the lawn, with a dance floor seen from above by our drone. The music and the dancing went on late into the night.

The Wedding Day

The film opens with Villa Erba seen from above. The groom arrived with a red vintage convertible and a joyful baraat, dancing with family and friends, while the bride walked in with her family down the steps of the villa. The ceremony took place by the lake, under a mandap decorated with pastel flowers, with the mountains of Lake Como behind the couple.

After the ceremony the newlyweds shared quiet moments under the loggia and on the terraces of the villa. In the evening they walked down the red-carpeted grand staircase, cut the cake and opened a night of dancing in the halls of Villa Erba, lit up on the lake until late.

Why Villa Erba

Villa Erba, in Cernobbio, is a nineteenth-century villa with a lakeside park, grand halls and a monumental staircase: its spaces work beautifully for a multi-day Indian wedding, from the sangeet on the lawn to the ceremony by the water. Watch our other weddings at Villa Erba: Hawa and Stefano, a lakeside ceremony and a church wedding with a reception at the villa.
