Wondering what’s unconventional about this one? Just about everything! From the meet cute to the proposal (which never really happened!), the bride’s minimal outfits right down to her almost no makeup look (we’re not even kidding!). Delightfully different, the Rishad and Priyanka wedding is one of the most non conventional stunners we’ve seen, and trust us their story will have you glued to the screen! 😍
Rishad and Priyanka – the Indian Biker Bride and Vroom Groom 🏁
A badass Punjabi model and motorcycle blogger (India’s only female biker blogger that too 🙌🏼) and a Parsi car connoisseur a.k.a road test editor at overdrive magazine who pretty much drives fast & fancy cars for a living (Every boy’s dream job 😎). Rishad and Priyanka Kochhar are the poster kids for offbeat awesomeness and there’s no way their wedding could be anything less. Their story doesn’t subscribe to convention and it’s simplicity and old school charm totally caught our attention 💖
Here’s everything we loved from their Non Conventional Story
They say what makes you different makes you beautiful. This couldn’t be more true for Rishad and Priyanka’s love story…
The Non Proposal
There was never a proposal. Yep you heard that right. No one went down on a knee and there was no instagram engagement announcement to see! But guess what? This made their engagement moment super special and added so much charm to their ring ceremony 💍💖
The Non Typical Bride’s BFF
Every bride has that one Bestie who takes centerstage at her sangeet and rocks the floor. Priyanka did too, only in her case it was her grandmother who slayed the tunes 👵🏼💞! Her was super adorable Bff/Dadi, surprised her with a dance dedication to the bride and groom, her performance caused a lot of happy tears across the room!
The Non Dressed up Bride
Being a model Priyanka was always glammed up at work, so for her wedding she decided to take the road less travelled (biker and all 😜). This bride went minimal with all her looks, and may we say while they were simple, they were stunningly off the hook!💖
Totally drooling over her simple sangeet off shoulder blouse and lehenga minus any jewellery (can you imagine!). Radiant with just a single rose in her hair, its a bold and poetic look put together with utmost care.

Then there’s the wedding day ensemble that’s got us going gaga with her pretty pick of traditional jadau jewellery and a simply stunning gold bridal lehenga. But the thing we’re tripping over is the happiness her face showed with a little to no makeup glow! *love*
The Non Pheras
Since Rishad’s family was Parsi, they worshipped fire and thus, didn’t want to offend customs by circling it. The couple decided to skip the pheras and take their own vows instead. *WOW*
Everything was minimal yet magical ⬇︎
From the Biker Bride
“I never expected my folks to give me such a wonderful wedding. They took care of the fact that I’m a complete tomboy that didn’t want things to be overly traditional. They let me be ME during this wedding and I didn’t have to stand up to any expectations of what a Punjabi bride must be at her wedding. (Shy and traditional). Because frankly, I was loud, brash and didn’t have a care in the world while I danced the whole four days away!
Their wedding was gorgeous not because it followed norm, but because it was THEIR kind of happily ever after, filled hearts with genuine love and laughter 💞
