The couple had their wedding across two ceremonies, one, a traditional Telugu wedding, honouring Vijay’s roots, on Thursday morning while the second one, a homage to Rashmika’s Kodava heritage took place in the evening on Thursday. 

According to reports, the ceremonies were attended by the couple’s family members and close friends at the luxury hotel ITC Mementoes, located 50km outside Udaipur.

While the official images from the functions are still awaited, the fans have been gushing over the images from the couple’s wedding functions. According to Cinema Express, their sangeet had turned into a full-blown celebration as the couple was seen dancing alongside their friends and family members. The reports stated that the playlist for the occasion was one made personally for Rashmika and Vijay, featuring songs from their own films that have grown to be loved by their fans over the years. This included songs from their movies, Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade and some nostalgic ones like Kalyani Vachaa Vachaa and Inkem Inkem.

However, one song that made the entire function a huge hit was the viral song, Peelings from Rashmika's movie Pushpa: The Rise, that pulled the guests to the dance floor.

Not just that, the couple’s Haldi ceremony was an intimate ceremony held in the presence of friends and family. While Rashmika and Vijay had previously shared exclusive images of the decor from their wedding venue on their Instagram stories, their friends have also shared glimpses from inside the ceremonies. 

Rashmika and Vijay’s common friends, actor Kalyani Priyadarshan, Ashika Ranganath and Shravya Varma shared pictures on their Instagram stories. While one set of images focused more on the venue of the ceremony. An outdoor setting, the circular space for the venue was enclosed by soft wooden panelling. The floor of the venue was entirely carpeted in delicate pink rose petals while in the centre, there were two small wooden stools placed for the couple to sit during the wedding ritual. It was surrounded by baskets of yellow and orange marigold petals and the backdrop consisted of lush floral arrangements in warm tones. 

Vijay also shared a close-up of some of the personalized floral name placards, one of which read Rushie, Rashmika’s nickname and the other read Vijay. The placards can be seen placed among fresh lilies, roses and marigolds. On the other hand, Rashmika took the opportunity to share customised pet decor that was dedicated to Vijay Deverakonda’s Huskies, Storm and Chester and her own pet dog, Aura.
