Summer Wedding Looks at Tulip Inn Mussoorie

Indian weddings are known for their style, grandeur, tradition and magnificence. You got down on one knee, popped the question and celebrated with a bottle of the best bubbly. Now it’s time for the wedding preparations, and a trend which is really catching on these days is that of planning a destination wedding. Not only are foreigners coming to Indian shores to tie the knot, but Indians themselves are looking for exotic wedding destinations to say ‘I Do’ in style!

Hill-stations are very popular for summer destination weddings, and couples who wish a unique picturesque wedding are exploring these areas for extraordinary experience. The misty cool breeze, the warm sunrise of the lush green valley can be the best bet while choosing among hill-stations to host a destination wedding!

If you remember, a few months back (during the winter season), I shared a wedding destination post on this blog about a beautiful resort hotel - Tulip Inn Green n Breeze in Barlowganj, and hotel Tulip Inn Green Castle at Mall Road, in Mussoorie. So many of you loved the locations, and I thought I should shoot for you a few images related to typical wedding fashion, showing you how differently pretty both destinations look when thought to plan a summer wedding there!

I collaborated with the hotel once again last month, and landed there to surround myself with a surreal view of the Himalayan sunset, beautiful Doon valley surrounded by tree-covered hills, and the clear night sky with countless twinkling stars. I shot for two different looks at both the properties, and you can check it all out below..

LOOK 1 - Shot at Tulip Inn Green n Breeze

My first look included a bright green lehenga set designed in brocade full-length skirt and cut-sleeve blouse with net dupatta, bordered too with brocade! The Indian design print with golden on both the blouse and lehenga make it a traditional wear apt for a daytime function. I love how the lehenga fitted me on the waist perfectly, giving it a shape with a flair below and the blouse fits apt on the shoulders too. I chose to keep the dupatta on one side, and show off my ethnic jewelry matched perfectly in green and golden to keep it summery and elementary! Finished of my look with subtle makeup on the face and green stilettos in feet.

Tulip Inn Green n Breeze is a ravishing resort hotel spread over 4 floors, with 35 luxurious guest rooms, nestled at Barlowganj, just 5 kms away from the hustle bustle of Mussoorie city. It has 24x7 hospitality support that takes care of you from the time you check in till you leave! With that, some of the most attractive facilities include :  Kids Corner, Table Tennis and Gym Area, Spa/Massage and Jogging Track.

Look 2 - Shot at Tulip Inn Green Castle

The second look that I created is for the main wedding function, where I opted for a heavy lehenga set designed in black and golden, looking nothing less than a dreamy outfit (could be even worn by a bride who doesn't believe in not-wearing-black-for-wedding). I absolutely am swayed by the gorgeous set that includes a heavy net skirt with glitter patches on it, a black crop top with full sleeves and a net dupatta bordered with glitter as well! Since the entire ensemble was pretty jazzy, I chose to add a little more sparkle with my stunning jewelry, keeping it traditional and royal at the same time. Put on a 3 layer swanky neckpiece along with dangling earrings, rhine-stone maang tikka and gold glitter heels along with classy makeup to complete my look!

This second property by Tulip Inn is named as Hotel Green Castle, which rests at Mall Road, girded by cedar forests on the edge of the Himalayan hillside, amidst many majestic places that have an array of sights to see! The facilities at this hotel remains similar to those at the Barlowganj resort with just a few more recreations surrounding like the Kempty Falls, Horse Riding, Company Garden, St. George Cottage, Local Shopping Market, Street Food Joints, etc..

Mussoorie is a splendid place for an out-of-the-box wedding. This hill station is full of ravishing vintage architecture and best hotels (2 of those that I mentioned above) with alluring surroundings that make sure that ceremonies become nothing less than heavenly for you, and are great for a pre-wedding photoshoots too! The summer months of April to June are warm in the day and cool at night, most suited for destination weddings, and if you are planning to tie the knot sometime soon, starting from now to mid-June is the best time to host the ceremonies.


PS : Read everything in detail about the two Tulip Inn hotels in Mussoorie, in my other post HERE, and feel free to contact me for any other considerations. Also, do let me know which of the two looks from this post is your your favorite. I'd love to read your feedback!

PPS : Tons of thanks to Hera Fatima Naqvi for travelling with me all the way to the queen of hills, and gifting me these amazing photographs. JSYK, she's my best friend from the school time and I feel I can never thank her enough for helping me with work, and not just being a shoulder to cry on for all my problems!

So, if you're following me on social media, you must remember I went for a weekend getaway to Mussoorie last month, with a group of other bloggers from Delhi and Chandigarh! Since it was my first blogger's trip, its kinda special and you already saw how amazing my stay was with them at TULIP INN GREEN N BREEZE. This is a resort situated in the Barlowganj area just 5 kms away from Mall road, Mussoorie and is a really cool property to check into!

Well, many dream wedding begins with beautiful landscapes merging with far stretched clear skies, beautiful tree/snow covered hills, a pleasant breeze, surreal surroundings, a flawless mix of daylights and the perfect picture with happy beginnings! And here I show you the Tulip Inn Resort at Mussoorie where your wedding dreams will dance itself into reality creating memories for a lifetime!

Opened in 2007, Tulip Inn Green n Breeze Resorts at Barlowganj provides best of facilities, latest amenities within a stylish and intimate environment. A pretty 3 star hotel spread over 4 floors also has 24x7 hospitality support that takes care of you from the time you check in till you say bye and leave!

The building looks even prettier at night..

The best waiting area (outdoor) from where you can see the hills and feel the breeze right into your face.

This was my favorite spot at the hotel which during the weddings is dressed up with carpets and chairs for ceremonies (as in the picture below), with the perfect valley view.

Now that you've seen the exteriors of the resort, its time I tell you how synonymously pleasing the interiors are! Yes, I'm talking about the accommodation and other facilities that are present for all! So, Tulip Inn Green n Breeze offers three types of rooms, categorized as : Standard, Studio and Duplex! All the rooms look lavish with clean, sleek walls and immpressively comfortable beds, a large wardrobe, resting chairs and tables, television, dressing table, and other side tables! The washrooms are facilitated with hot water geysers and other needful stuff. Like a must have add on, I guess all rooms at the resort have a balcony with a striking view that everyone wants at a hill station, so all in all all the rooms are perfect for each one! 

Such a cozy bed that made me fall asleep in seconds..

This 3 day trip for me was a much needed one, since I'd been longing to relax for a while! Each day spent at the resort was like a blessing. Tension free sleeps, sweet dreams at night, waking up to a pleasant view and cold mornings with hot cup of coffee at the restaurant was all that I longed for! Also, did I tell you about the delicious food they offer at their restaurant and the banquet (that can gather upto 350 people at one time for all your pre-wedding ceremonies like engagement, sangeet, tilak, mehndi, etc..) during parties? From intimate dinner receptions to marriages to meetings, you can enjoy sumptuous barbeque, a-la carte, cocktails and bonfire with multi cuisine menu for an elegant breakfast, a lingering lunch, or even late night dinner. So that's a win win again!

I was 3 years old when I last visited Mussoorie and I clearly have no memories from then, but this trip gave me a surreal feel of being surrounded by beautiful tree covered hills looking down the Doon valley, the phantasmagorical view of the Himalayas at sunset, and clear skies giving me a brilliant display of twinkling stars of the milky way & the flickering lights in the valley. It’s a great get-away especially for folks who stay in Metros without an access to a nearby hill stations. The wedding can be a refreshing change & quite out-of-the-box!

Also, the city surely has a wonderful romantic air to it. Long pines, canals, prepossessing orchids, waterfalls and exquisite architecture makes it a heaven for pre-wedding pictures. The beautiful sunsets also make sure that you get really awesome ceremony pictures for those early evening functions! Take a look below..

Tulip Inn owners have another property in Mussoorie by the name TULIP INN GREEN CASTLE situated at Mall Road itself which is another perfect holiday destination for you with family or friends! Facilities at this hotel remains similar to those at the resort with just a few more recreations surrounding like the Kempty Falls, Horse Riding, Company Garden, St. George Cottage, Local Shopping Market, Street Food Joints, etc..

PS : It can be a perfect honeymoon destination for the newly married couples as well, and for those who are interested can check out their packages HERE!
