Soon after Vega, daughter of Achla and Anil Kumar Gupta from Saharanpur got engaged to Delhi boy Aakash Garg Jahajgarhia, her parents were thinking of Mauritius, Italy or Spain as the venues for the Destination Wedding. But the bride-to-be wanted it in Sun City, because she was emotionally attached to Johannesburg, having spent many of her summer holidays and later college years there.
While we have often blogged about shaadis in Thailand and Bali, Mauritius and Malaysia, Macau and more recently Europe this is the first time we’re talking about a Destination Wedding in Africa’s glamorous leisure oasis. Vega and Aakash’s five day wedding celebrations commence at Sun City today, ending with the finale, a royal gala on May 3rd. The different functions are at The Palace of the Lost City, Sun City’s five star flagship Hotel. A fantasy world come to life, the Lost City has incredible jungles, cliff-tumbling gardens, sparkling streams, water falls, swimming pools and entertainment areas.
For the 400 guests, over 200 of who will be flying in from Delhi and Uttar Pradesh this will undoubtedly be an experience with a difference, a rare combination of African luxury and traditional Indian festivities. A number of local guests will be attending the wedding too- the bride’s maternal uncles Atul, Rajesh and Ajay Gupta are the owners of Johannesburg based The New Age Newspaper and Sahara Computers. The celebrations commence with the traditional ‘Godh Bhari’ at the Pool Deck. The Mehendi and Bhajans are at the Elephant Courtyard, the theme of the Engagement is ‘Fashion forward’ and after the traditional nuptials is a ‘Royal’ theme dinner at the Grand Ballroom. The finale is a Royal Gala at the Super Bowl Entertainment Center. In between all the hectic festivities, the guests will spend their leisure time pursuing a variety of leisure and water-borne activities- hot air balloon rides, game drives and water sports on the lake.

A week after the newly-weds and their families return to India, a Grand Reception for over 3,000 guests takes place in Delhi, where the groom’s father runs their family business. Groom Aakash Garg Jahajgarhia, a post graduate in International Business from London works in his family business, the Jahajgarhia Group headquartered in Punjabi Bagh, Delhi.

    About PG

    “My creative vocabulary finds a natural affinity towards creating luxurious cameos and I see products as a better medium to express my design vocabulary on. I like to work within the niche of exclusive design and bespoke pieces. I find it very exciting to combine many realms of design into one complete canvas through my artful work. Though trained as a Fashion Communication Designer from NIFT, I find myself taking my design sense to ever evolving, new mediums. This quest stems from my belief that refined designs are experiential and need to touch your world. I see design finding a space in every element of life. Be it the mundane or the special.”

    Inclined towards fine arts even at school level, he walked into NIFT for pursuing Fashion Communication equipped with a two year Art Foundation Course that he pursued as part of his curriculum at school. In fact the high point of his school days was when he got selected for Generative Art Conference 2004 by Politechnico Di Milano, Italy. 


    Puneet Gupta has always been up for representing Indian design on the International design scene ever since he walked out from the design school with already many accolades in his pocket- Best academic performance award by Nift, Best Graduation project award by Nift, Design consultant in craft cluster initiative by Ministry of textiles, M TV on the Job-2 award to name a few.  His inclination towards art and design has made his a part of many curated design exhibitions world over- Designboom mart @ Stockholm Furniture fair- Sweden 2011, Seoul Design Market- Seoul 2010, Asia Now @ Dwell On Design Fair- Los Angeles 2010 etc. As a design consultant he has also offered his design services to many Indian designers and international brands.

    Today, Puneet Gupta is nurturing the seed of his creativity- Puneet Gupta Invitations with love and creativity with a vision to create it a lifestyle brand worldwide.
