On March 12, 2023, Alanna Panday shared a series of stunning pictures from her all-white-themed bridal brunch. Discussing the reason behind choosing a white wedding theme, Alanna shared:
"We've chosen a magical, fairytale-like, enchanted forest theme because we both love nature. We love everything earthy and rooted, so the wedding will be inspired by a forest theme that will depict the resilience of nature. The decor will feature birds in flight, a soothing water element, forest sounds, and a customised fragrance to evoke the smell of the earth."
Going further in the interview, Alanna was asked if she was planning for an eco-friendly celebration on her D-day. Replying to the same, she said that the flowers used at their ceremonies would be turned into potpourri to gift to the guests attending their wedding. In her words:
"We want to give back to the society so apart from it being aesthetically pleasing, we are working with vendors who are either tied up with an NGO, etc. And also for our wedding hampers we chose every product which was sustainable. We've tried our best to incorporate this, for example, we are also going to use the flowers that will be used at our ceremonies and turn them into potpourri to gift it to our guests."

In the same interview, Alanna also discussed what part of their love story would be included in her wedding. Mentioning that her wedding festivities will be based on places she and her fiance, Ivor, love to travel, she shared:
"Ivor and I love traveling, and thus we kept each function themed around a place that we love, so our haldi is around an Italian farmers market, mehendi is a tropical rainforest theme, and wedding is also a forest theme because we both love nature so much. The wedding and functions do represent our sensibilities not only in fashion but also by way of décor and gifting."
