Welcome back to Memona and Salman’s wedding extravaganza! In the second segment of this dreamy affair, we have all the darling duo’s first look photos overlooking the historic architecture of Washington D.C. The ceremony and reception took place at the classic Mellon Auditorium space, which featured a towering atrium and majestic pillars. Elegant Events planned the beautiful affair and Shaloo Singh Dharma Events created decor featuring rosy pink hues and oodles of sparkling candles. Memona looked exquisite in a red and gold lehenga with a majestic train and plenty of twinkling, golden jewels. Memona’s hair was swept off her face into a glamorous updo, and Malia Rafaie gave her a dewy glow with ruby red lips. Guests gasped in delight as the radiant bride made her way down the aisle. In our next post, we’ll dive into all the ceremony and reception deets with entertainment by the talented DJ Raj. Maharani Memona gave brides-to-be some advice about planning their special day and told us: “Everything will come together perfectly on the actual day so don't worry so much! This is what everyone kept telling me, and my Type A personality did not believe them. However, everything did come together so beautifully. Enjoy the wedding planning process and focus on what's most important to both of you!” Very wise words.
