Good morning, Maharanis! It is reel day, and we are delighted to release the beautiful highlight video of Nija and Ketan's elegant nuptials in New Jersey. The pair asked Studio KSD to capture and film their best wedding moments, and the stunning visuals are pure magic! I am sure this film will take your breath away. Indian culture and festivities came together at The Merion, and their unique Skylight Ballroom was the setting for their grand ceremony. Natural light bathed the wedding rituals thanks to the majestic glass dome that crowned the open round mandap created by All Event Decorators. After the I do's, Nija and Ketan concluded their wedding celebrations with an upscale reception party enlivened by DJ BK from Luxe Event Group from Luxe Event Group, during which their dearest and nearest took the mic and delivered touching toasts and speeches for the newlyweds! EC Spin 360 entertained the guests and created memories with a 360 selfie booth while Mr. Paanwala provided a delicious Paan station for the partygoers! I absolutely adore the couple's fashion. Nija was the ultimate Maharani thanks to the glam touch of Beauty by Jasbina and Mehndi artists Aneeta Nashad. She flaunted a show-stopping floral ensemble and opted for an elegant white lehenga with sparkly work for her final event. While Ketan also went for a white-off Sherwani suit that he completed with a mint scarf for the ceremony and looked sharp in a tuxedo from Nazranaa at the reception. The entire soiree was planned without a worry, thanks to Posh Kreations, who created a personalized celebration and masterfully executed all the details from start to end! Check the reel below and let Nija and Ketan's film inspire your wedding day!
How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
We met the new traditional way. Ketan actually knew I was the one first and told me so during one of our first dates. From the very beginning, we just “clicked” and on our first date, we talked for literal hours! He’s always so open, honest, and steady! I knew he was the one because of how safe and comfortable he made me feel. I can be as goofy as I want and he’s right there with me!
Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
It was during the pandemic, so he told me to dress up and come over for a dinner. Smart move because I had been WFH and my normal attire would have been leggings and a sweatshirt! When I came over, he took me out to the back patio and it was so beautifully decorated with candles and flower petals everywhere! My favorite song was playing too when we walked out and our closest friends and family were hiding on the side. After he proposed, they all shouted congratulations and we had champagne and celebrated from a distance since it was early in the pandemic. It was such a wonderful moment and one that I will cherish forever!
Tell us how you went about planning your wedding, and your overall experience with the Venues, Hair & Makeup, Outfits, Decor Theme, and all of the other important details.
We got married at The Merion in the skylight ballroom! I have loved that ballroom since I was a guest at a wedding there many years ago and always had it in the back of my mind. Ketan and I went to go see it and he instantly fell in love with it too! Once that was finalized, our decor and clothing all revolved around that. I knew I wanted an outdoor rose garden theme for the wedding to complement the beautiful dome in the ballroom. For the evening, I always envisioned an elegant black tie cocktail theme and we added greenery and candles to tie in both the wedding and reception together. Our decorator did such an amazing job with both!
How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
I knew from the beginning that I didn’t want a traditional red dress. Since we were having a rose garden theme wedding, I wanted something that would complement it. We found my dress at the last shop and it was perfect! White with all the spring/summer floral colors. We decided to coordinate both families' outfits, with my family in light pink and Ketan’s family in light green. So many guests complimented us on how well the coordination was and how beautiful the whole family looked together!
