Hello, sweeties! We are thrilled to share the enchanting wedding of Divya & Keyur, a celebration of love and elegance in a picturesque Grand Palladium location that provided a breathtaking backdrop for this joyous occasion. With its lush gardens and elegant architecture, the expansive venue set the stage for a genuinely magical celebration. Liz Medina Weddings expertly planned the event, while JC Castillo Weddings dazzled with their impeccable design. The aisle was adorned with ethereal floral arrangements by Roses & Co and lush blooms from Luis Salas Floral Experience. Zuniga's exquisite decor and Love Memories Weddings' dreamy ceiling decor added luxury to the venue. Divya was pampered by Sara Tamargo's Makeup and Hair, looking radiant. Gareth Davies Photography captured every precious moment, allowing us to relive the love and joy of Divya & Keyur's special day. This wedding was a symphony of beauty and heartfelt moments. We invite you, our dear Maharanis, to explore the stunning photo gallery and immerse yourself in the magic of their unforgettable day.
Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
While we were on a trip in Southern California with my sister, Keyur intended to propose on Point Dume at Malibu - which we now lovingly call 'Point Doom.' It was a mild climb to the top, but the views were breathtaking. Keyur started looking around, and I immediately felt suspicious of what was happening (my intuition never lies). We walked to at least three different locations on the peak, where he apparently was searching for the 'right spot' to propose. It turned out that my sister, who was supposed to capture the moment, had chosen to wear the absolute wrong shoes for the job, and she felt very nervous hiking around. Keyur called it off that evening, but the next day, he brought me back sans photographer, got down on one knee, and I immediately said, 'Heck yeah!'. A pair of strangers saw what was happening and captured the moment for us. We always laugh about it, but what made it most special was that it was authentic and true to us.
How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
I started my bridal lehenga search saying I wanted to wear 'anything but red', and then of course ended up with a red lehenga! It was a stunning piece designed by Nitika Gujral; I loved the intricacy of her embroidery and modern touch with small floral motifs.
What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
Planning our destination wedding in Mexico was no easy feat, as we had to work in our full-time roles and coordinate with our families on opposite coasts. We rightfully placed our trust in our incredible Cancun-based wedding planners - JC Castillo, Lizbeth Medina, Veronica Prado, and team - who helped us prepare for the multitude of logistics through their significant experience and continually reassured us that it would all work out in the end. We have fond memories of laughing through our planning calls! Planning was also an opportunity for us to connect with our families in a unique way; we learned what was most important to each family member and tried to give them the opportunity to leave their mark on that aspect.
What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
We were touched to hear that guests truly enjoyed themselves at our wedding; it was important to us to put ourselves in their shoes. We spaced out wedding events to avoid more than one major event per day - guests were able to relax and savor the serene atmosphere of Costa Mujeres. The food was outstanding; with great help from Chef Fernanda and Anabel from Patravali Cancun, we developed unique and customized food menus - including the first-ever Turkish station at our welcome party, fusion live stations at the sangeet, and plated thalis at our wedding dinner. Guests raved about the music and danced their hearts out, courtesy of DJ Insomnia & Premier Entertainment. Finally, each venue was jaw-droppingly beautiful and had a literal touch of magic, thanks to the JC Castillo Weddings planning team. The fairy-tale reception, complete with live musicians and ballet dancers, was truly out of this world.
Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
The planning process can make you feel overwhelmed by the details, but during the wedding weekend, the only thing that matters is your presence and connection to everyone around you. And – as it goes by in the blink of an eye – invest in an amazing photographer like Gareth Davies; memories fade, but exceptional photos will help you experience the magic forever.
We are delighted to bring you back to Liz & Arun's enchanting wedding that began with a heartwarming ceremony at the Shree Swaminarayan Gurukul Plano, where Liz was adorned in a stunning traditional bridal outfit. The planning and design of the wedding were meticulously handled by Ness Events, who ensured every detail was perfect, creating a seamless flow from the ceremony to the reception. The reception at the Hyatt Regency Frisco Dallas was nothing short of spectacular. This luxurious venue provided the perfect backdrop for the evening's festivities, with its grand ballroom beautifully decorated by Have & Hold Studio and Lucky Charms Decor. The evening was further elevated by the soulful melodies of singer Akhil and the mesmerizing sax player Ner De Leon's tunes, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. Capturing every precious moment, Hannah Hix Photography showcased their exceptional talent in cinematography, ensuring that their special day will be remembered forever through a stunning wedding film. Sweeties, don't miss this film.
Darlings, let our features inspire every heart to dream and achieve their magical celebration of love.

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
Our love story is a tale as old as time. We have known each other for more than 15 years, but our storybook love started in March 2014 when we went on our very first date. It's our most memorable date with feelings ranging from shyness to realizing how happy we make each other. It began with going to the watch Need for Speed, a movie we both looked forward to watching. From there, we went to grab dinner at P.F. Chang's, where we had the most unforgettable experience.
To start off, we were offered a circular table that sat 6 people.
We both felt very awkward and shy because we did not know where to sit, so we quietly made ourselves comfortable furthest away from each other.
After ordering and receiving our meals, Jignesh closely observed me.
He noticed I was not eating the noodles, rather I was playing with them using my fork. This created a great conversation where Jignesh got to learn about my picky eating habits.
Likewise, I learned about Jignesh’s picky eating habits that night. As the night went on, we realized how similar, compatible, and likeminded we were. This is when I knew, he was the one!
Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
As I completed my MBA, Jignesh told me he wanted to take me on a trip to celebrate and we ended up going to Banff, Alberta. He was thoughtful and planned out the entire trip. The morning of the proposal, he booked himself a massage. Since I don’t enjoy massages, he booked me a manicure appointment. From there, we left to take a helicopter ride. There were a couple other people on the helicopter ride so I didn’t think too much into it. Little did I know they were the photographer and videographer that Jignesh has been in contact with! When we landed on top of the mountain, I was taking in the breathtaking view and asked the photographer to take a picture of me and Jignesh. As I handed her my phone, Jignesh got down on one knee and proposed with my dream Tiffany ring! It was so magical, emotional, and just perfect. I got my winter wonderland proposal I always dreamed of since I was a little girl.
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.
Our overall experience with wedding planning was amazing. We had terrific vendors who listened to exactly what we wanted and brought our vision to life. The day of the wedding, our vendors pulled through for us and we had the most breathtaking wedding.
We met with our vendors often - especially as the wedding got closer. We shared all details with our wedding planner so we didn’t have to stress the day of. We worked closely with our venue manager who was extremely helpful and made our day go smoothly. We couldn’t have asked for better vendors!
How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
Unlike many brides, I decided to wear my Groom’s favorite color - green. I always knew I didn’t want to wear the traditional red color so when I went bridal lengha shopping, I worked with my designer to get the exact vision I had in mind come to life.
What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
Planning our wedding together was the most enjoyable part because we did it together and ensured both of our wants and visions were incorporated in our wedding.
What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
Everyone we spoke to enjoyed our wedding and repetition themes. Also, they enjoyed our food as well. We got so many compliments!
Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
Walking down the aisle and seeing the man I would be spending my life with.
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.
For our Pithi, I had a decor vision in mind. I explained it to Jignesh and he brought it to life! He loves to wood work so with that passion, he built our Pithi decor exactly the way I wanted!
Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
Be patient, work together, and do everything with a smile on your face because wedding planning days will never come back. Sometimes it’s really difficult, but just remember it’s your big day!!!
Anything else you want to tell us? We'd love to hear all about your other details! (jewelry, mehndi, venue, cake, bouquets, etc.)
Our wedding theme was an enchanted theme and our reception theme was a Beauty and the Beast theme! My bridal shower was a Friends theme!
We loved having themed events because it made them more personable and so US!
