Even as news of their wedding surfaced, the couple remained tight-lipped. Days before the wedding, an elaborate invite to their reception surfaced online. Designed and handcrafted by Ranjani Iyengar, founder of design atelier Pink Whistle Man, the invitation card was housed in a heavy, three-dimensional box in a dreamy palette of powder blue, ivory, and silver. The outer structure was covered in floral and scrollwork carvings, secured with silver-toned hinges and a silver-finished oval crest.
