When it comes to creating unforgettable luxury weddings that celebrate culture, personality, and elegance, Radhika & You are at the forefront of the industry. From the UK to stunning destinations abroad, Radhika and Shindy craft weddings that are as personal and meaningful as the couples themselves.
We caught up with them to learn more about their journey, approach, and the trends shaping 2026 luxury weddings.
1. Radhika, tell us a little about your journey — how did “Radhika & You” come to life?
Our love for weddings started long before Radhika & You was born. Growing up in large Indian families, we were surrounded by vibrant celebrations filled with colour, music, food, and togetherness — weddings have always been part of our lives.
Radhika’s background in marketing and corporate events, combined with her experience organising large celebrations in the South West since 2012, revealed her true passion for weddings. Shindy’s journey began as a teen, assisting as a videographer in his family’s business.
Realising our shared passion, we decided to create our own wedding planning company — one that reflects our unique approach and creativity. Inspired by weddings, travel, culture, and connection, we design and deliver unforgettable celebrations across the UK and worldwide, creating experiences as personal and meaningful as the couples we work with.
2. What inspired you to specialise in luxury and multicultural weddings?
Our inspiration comes from what we know and love most. Coming from rich cultural backgrounds, we’ve always been captivated by the beauty of two worlds coming together — the traditions, rituals, colours, and stories that make each celebration meaningful.
At the same time, we saw a gap in the market for luxury experiences that prioritise quality, exceptional service, and professionalism. We wanted to create weddings that honour diverse cultures, while delivering elegance, care, and attention to detail — experiences that feel deeply personal yet effortlessly refined.
3. Your weddings beautifully blend tradition with modern elegance — how do you achieve that balance?
Achieving that balance begins with truly understanding our couples — what their traditions mean to them and which moments hold the most significance. We honour those elements while incorporating their personalities through contemporary styling, refined details, and creative touches that feel uniquely theirs.
Every wedding we plan keeps both worlds in mind — heritage and sophistication coming together seamlessly to tell one story: theirs.
4. You’ve planned weddings across stunning destinations — what are some of your favourites, and what makes them special?
One of the joys of our work is creating unforgettable weddings in some of the world’s most stunning locations.
Türkiye is a firm favourite, with its incredible hospitality, diverse properties from luxurious resorts to boutique hideaways, and unforgettable culinary experiences. Greece has our hearts too — from Santorini and Mykonos to Rhodes, Crete, and beyond. Knowing the venues, suppliers, and local nuances allows us to craft celebrations that feel effortless yet extraordinary.
It’s the magic of seeing couples say “I do” against these breathtaking backdrops that makes every destination wedding truly unforgettable.
5. What does the planning process look like for your couples, from concept to celebration?
At Radhika & You, wedding planning is a journey we take alongside our couples from the first conversation to the big day.
We start by understanding their vision and defining a budget that feels right. From there, we help them find and secure the perfect venue and curate a team of suppliers to bring that vision to life.
Mood boards and design concepts allow us to weave their personalities into every detail — décor, styling, rentals, and colour palettes. Behind the scenes, we manage everything from floor plans and itineraries to the intricate logistics of the day, ensuring every moment flows seamlessly.
Our goal is to let couples relax, enjoy the process, and experience a celebration that is as effortless as it is unforgettable.
6. Can you share one of your most memorable weddings — and what made it truly unforgettable?
Every wedding is memorable because each one reflects the couple. We weave their personalities into every detail — from the mandap or bride’s grand entrance to the groom’s unique arrival, food experiences, and entertainment.
The most special part is seeing our couples genuinely happy, sharing smiles, laughter, and hugs as they thank us for bringing their vision to life.
7. How do you bring a couple’s personality and heritage into their celebration, especially across different cultures or locations?
It starts with truly getting to know them — their style, passions, and what makes them unique. We then incorporate those elements into décor, music, and the flow of events, so guests immediately feel the essence of the couple.
At the same time, we honour their heritage and traditions, understanding which rituals and customs are most meaningful. The result is a celebration where personalities shine while heritage is respected.
8. What trends are you seeing for 2026, particularly in luxury and destination weddings?
For 2026, the biggest trend is authenticity — couples are embracing what’s meaningful to them rather than following trends. Destination weddings are becoming more intimate, focusing on unforgettable experiences: exquisite food, thoughtful design, immersive entertainment, and meaningful moments.
Couples are choosing locations with personal significance, like a first holiday together or a destination with a rich local culture. Multi-day weddings remain popular, particularly in South Asian celebrations, and sustainability is increasingly important, with couples seeking elegant, eco-conscious solutions.
Design-led concepts, digital creativity, and subtle AI touches are adding a modern layer to destination weddings, keeping them both timeless and forward-thinking.
9. What’s one element that instantly elevates a wedding from beautiful to extraordinary?
A wedding becomes extraordinary when it feels truly personal. When every detail — location, design, food, entertainment — reflects the couple’s story, combined with seamless planning and thoughtful guest experiences, the celebration becomes uniquely theirs. Style, story, and heartfelt connection together make a wedding unforgettable.
10. Finally, what does a “5 Star Wedding” mean to you?
To us, a 5 Star Wedding is meticulously planned with the couple at the heart of everything. Every detail — design, décor, logistics, and guest experience — is thoughtfully considered, supported by a strong team, and executed flawlessly.
It’s about creating a celebration where the couple can fully enjoy their day, and every guest feels the care and attention that makes the wedding truly exceptional.
