Tanisha Narang and Noah London planned a wedding in Mumbai that allowed two cultural lineages to exist side by side without being compressed into a single moment. Spread across multiple days, the celebrations were paced carefully, with each ceremony given its own rhythm and space.
Mumbai is the city Narang calls home, where friends and family could gather easily from Israel, the United States, Europe and across India. Working with Niche Events, the couple approached the planning as a continued experience for everyone involved. “We wanted a location that felt like a true merging of our worlds,” Narang says.
The celebrations began at the Trident with a rooftop mehendi overlooking the Queen’s Necklace. The setting was designed by House of Vivaah as a garden-like and open, with woven baskets, bright florals and informal seating that encouraged guests to move through the space. Violinist Daniella Alphonso played through the afternoon while guests drifted between interactive stations, including tarot reading, candle-making, perfume blending and potli-making. For the mehendi, Narang wore Opus, while London wore a custom-made Kora ensemble. Hair and makeup for the celebrations were handled by Mehera Kolah, with hair by Kaushal.
The Hindu wedding ceremony took place the next morning in the same venue, transformed again. Soft pinks filled the space, paired with natural light and live flute music. Guests were welcomed with a customised wedding newspaper, The London Times, filled with crossword puzzles, stories and personal notes. Narang describes the morning as calm and reflective. “We woke up ready to take the pheras to the sound of a live flute,” she says. For the ceremony, Narang wore Shlok, while London was dressed in a custom-made Kora look.
That evening, the atmosphere shifted completely. The ballroom was reworked for the sangeet, with dramatic lighting and performance-led energy, with music by DJ Prasad. Where the morning focused on ritual, the night leaned toward celebration.
The Jewish ceremony took place the following day and was the most minimal of the celebrations. The palette stayed within baby blues, whites and candlelight. Each ritual unfolded in sequence: the signing of the ketubah, the bedeken, the hakafot in which Narang circled London seven times, and the sharing of wine during kiddushin. Wrapped in a tallit, the couple received the birkat kohanim before London broke the glass beneath his foot. Their rabbi had travelled from the United States to officiate. Narang chose a Galia Lahav gown, which she finalised immediately during her fitting, while London was dressed in a custom-made Alan David ensemble.
