Hello, loves! Today, we're thrilled to share the beautiful wedding of Natasha & Anish held at the stunning JW Marriott Anaheim Resort. It provided the perfect backdrop for this big day. With its grand ballroom, luxurious amenities, and impeccable service, the venue offered everything the couple could have dreamed of and more. The staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail was correct, creating an unforgettable experience for everyone involved. When guests arrived, they were transported to a world of elegance and sophistication, surrounded by the stunning decor by Bloombox Designs. The bride, Natasha, looked radiant in her gorgeous Sabyasachi Official bridal fashions, perfectly complemented by her hair and makeup by Dolled Up by Lulu. The talented team at Shivalry Photography captured every moment of the day, from the emotional first look to the joyful baraat led by 3D Sounds. As the sun set, the party kicked into high gear with the help of 3D Sounds, who kept everyone on the dance floor all night. And of course, no wedding is complete without something sweet! Tasty Temptations Catering created a gorgeous cake almost too pretty to eat and a tempting spread of treats for guests to enjoy. From start to finish, this wedding was a true fairytale.
How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
Met through a dating app, and the rest is history! Throughout our time getting to know one another- we helped each other grow, constantly laughed, tried new adventures, and mainly enjoyed the quality time. We both felt organic and natural to be in each other's company, and that's when we both knew marriage was the next step.
Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
Anish knows how much I love the scenery. I never thought what my proposal would be, but I did know that I wanted it to be intimate; when we both went on our Europe trip, that's when he proposed in Florence, Italy. The location, the view, the moment- truly was a magical experience. In my eyes, it was a fairytale proposal of a lifetime!
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 both had a vision, budget, and multiple trackers to stay in scope for the vision of our wedding. We had a lot of help from our families, which we are both grateful for. The wedding decor was inspired by Bridgerton :)
How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
I always knew that I wanted to wear a pastel lehenga. I love the color red and the significance it has in an Indian wedding. However, with makeup, hair, and jewelry, I felt that the color would have been too overpowering. My mother and I went to numerous stores in Mumbai in search of my bridal lehenga. When we both arrived at Sabyasachi, I saw the pink bridal lehenga and knew that it was the one.
What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
No, Indian wedding planning is so stressful!
What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
In planning for each event, I paid a lot of attention to guest experiences where they could truly enjoy something in particular from that event.
Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
Our first dance! The song was - Mere Haath Mein from Fanaa & Married Life from the Pixar movie Up. My husband literally came up with the choreography the Friday before Wedding Week! I was so nervous that we would forget our moves, but luckily we did not! To this day, I still watch our first dance.
For events other than your ceremony, please tell us as much as you would like about the decor, style, dances, and all the special details.
Each event came with a theme—Haldi Ceremony- Whimsical Pastel that used a lot of yellow, lavender, and light pink. We provided spicy banana chips ( because it's yellow and tasty.. duh) and minter cooler drinks to our guests—Grah Shanti- Rajasthan, where the color palette was coral & blues. We made cool floral stickers to put on the gift bag for our guests. The Sangeet- multicolor to represent a more "Mela/Carnival look." We curated a special Mango lava drink that looks really festive for our guests. The wedding was inspired by Bridgerton- pops of berries, blush pinks, and greenery. The reception was Romance meets Great Gatsby. We had a photo booth 360 and LED Walls which our guests loved!
Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
Have a vision, curate a budget, and create trackers to stay in scope for your wedding planning. During the week of your wedding, drink lots of water and use hydrating masks/lotion to look fresh for your wedding events.
And that is a wrap for today! My beloved Maharanis, keep coming back for more love stories and tips.
