Some love stories are quiet — unfolding in smiles, conversations, and shared dreams.
Others are strategic — every move leading to one inevitable outcome.
When Grandmaster Vidit Gujrathi, one of India’s brightest chess stars, and Dr. Nidhi, a woman whose grace matches her brilliance, tied the knot, it was a perfect blend of both — a wedding that felt like the most beautiful checkmate in history.
A Wedding Under Open Skies
The celebrations took place in an exquisite open-ground venue, where nature was the ultimate co-host. The mandap stood under the vast sky, draped in blooms and warm hues, with sunlight streaming through and the breeze adding a touch of romance.
Every moment — from the laughter of friends to the misty-eyed blessings from elders — was wrapped in an atmosphere of joy and warmth.
The KALKI Touch: Outfits That Matched Every Moment
Vidit & Nidhi didn’t just wear KALKI for one function — they chose us to be part of every milestone in their wedding journey, from the phera to the varmala, sangeet, and reception.
Phera
For the sacred vows, Nidhi walked in wearing a radiant KALKI Mushk lehenga that captured tradition and elegance in equal measure — rich fabrics, intricate detailing, and a colour that glowed against the open-sky backdrop. Vidit, in a perfectly coordinated sherwani from the Mushk collection, brought a regal charm to the moment, creating a vision that guests couldn’t stop talking about.
Varmala
The varmala was a scene straight out of a dream — soft petals in the air, the sound of cheers, and two people meeting in the middle of a floral aisle.
For this beautiful moment, Nidhi wore a delicately embellished KALKI lehenga that caught the light with every step, paired with an ethereal dupatta that framed her smile perfectly. Vidit matched her grace in an ivory-toned KALKI sherwani with intricate embroidery, balancing tradition with understated elegance. As they exchanged garlands, the open-sky backdrop made the moment feel infinite — a reminder that
Sangeet
The sangeet night was all about sparkle and celebration, and the couple’s KALKI looks set the tone. Nidhi’s ensemble shimmered under the lights, designed for movement and magic, while Vidit’s look was effortlessly sharp — the perfect partner for a night of dance, music, and laughter.
Reception
For their final celebration, the couple embraced timeless glamour. Nidhi’s reception outfit was modern yet classic — a silhouette that let her shine while honouring her bridal grace. Vidit’s tailored KALKI look echoed that elegance, making them a picture of poised sophistication.
A Celebration That Felt Like Family
Beyond the style and décor, what made this wedding unforgettable was its heart. Guests from every chapter of their lives — family, friends, mentors, and colleagues — gathered under one sky to celebrate their love. There were joyful reunions, emotional toasts, children running across the lawns, and parents watching on with quiet pride.
It wasn’t just a wedding; it was a festival of togetherness.
The Moment That Made It Real
Surrounded by cheers, blessings, and the gentle hum of celebration, Vidit and Nidhi stood side by side — exchanging vows that weren’t just ceremonial words, but a true reflection of who they are: committed, grounded, and ready to take on life as a team.
For a man who has mastered strategy on the world stage, Vidit made his most important move with pure instinct. And for Nidhi, whose life’s work is rooted in care and healing, she found someone who protects her joy as fiercely as she does others’.
More Than Outfits — A Shared Story
At KALKI, being part of Vidit & Nidhi’s wedding wasn’t just about styling them — it was about weaving their love, personalities, and milestones into every outfit. From the first look to the last dance, each ensemble was chosen to celebrate them.
