Welcome to Maharani Weddings

Maharani Shelly and Paurush's Indian wedding is a love affair that never ends! Sadly, I wrap up this Indian bride's three-part editorial feature with the romantic reception at the AV Irvine. After a festive Indian wedding ceremony, it was time for the couple to share another sacrament together. The bride slipped into a lightweight wedding gown that was effortlessly graceful. Not a bobby pin was out of place for this bride as she posed for all her portrait shots thanks to the gracious hands of Dolled up by Lulu. After the ceremony, guests headed indoors to create more special moments for the reception party. Every Indian wedding reception has their special flavor, their own style and BEL Event Productions just created a grand event of the ages. Happily ever after is just the beginning!  The sun-kissed Laguna Beach was ornamented with this romantic duo and I have all the love for you in our gallery shot by Gary Coelho Photography. 

Thanks for joining us today! I return bright and early tomorrow morning for another editorial feature!

It is the first day of October and the air is getting a bit nippy here in Cali. But, today's sun-kissed editorial is full of a ton of warm moments. Maharani Shelly and Paurush's lavish celebration put a fresh spin on summer's traditional colors, suffusing The Ritz-Carlton - Laguna Niguel with an overwhelming dose of romance. Shelly ensured that she looked her best from top to bottom and with Dolled up by Lulu's talent, the bride emerged to her outdoor wedding just radiating with opulence. BEL Event Productions designed a lush mandap in warm shades of coral and purple that were placed around ivory white pillars. The talented décor team also ensured every tiny detail was planned to perfection. I have a preview of the outdoor ceremony with some of my favorite pics by Gary Coelho Photography down below. However, the gallery is where all the memories are kept. 

One last stop for the reception coming right up!

Hey there Maharanis! Today I have the first look of Shelly and Paurush's fabulous Indian wedding at one of my favorite locations in So Cal, The Ritz-Carlton - Laguna Niguel. Captured with a whimsical mindset by Gary Coelho Photography; these images are truly breathtaking. Dolled up by Lulu heightened the bride's natural beauty with a color palette of yellow and rose golds that were striking against Shelly's perfected pout. One of my favorite images of all time is the bride's father helping her put her chooriya (wedding bangles) on her. Shelly's wedding lengha was a unique blend of unparalleled craftsmanship with an exceptional fit; two elements that are crucial to an Indian bride. This is just the beginning! I have the wedding celebration coming right up and with décor by BEL Event Productions, you are in for an unforgettable event! But, the love is truly uncanny in our gallery. 

See you in a twinkle!

The One Event was determined to bring Bollywood to Mexico and with Sarita and Heetesh's fabulous fete, I must say that they crushed it! Taking place at the oh so glamorous Dreams Playa Mujeres Golf and Spa Resort, I am certain that guests were impressed with each and every element that was put into this Indian wedding. From bridal fashions designed at Shyamal and Bhumika, Desi Junction DJs at the turntables, and catering from Elefanta, who wouldn't want to be a guest at this wedding? The talented team at Dreams Playa Mujeres Golf and Spa Resort spent the whole afternoon transforming the ballroom into an enchanting haven complete with fantasy florals. The resort whipped up a dreamy wedding cake and guests enjoyed paradise all night while dining in catering served in-house. All the charm is waiting for you courtesy of Duke Photography right here in our gallery. 

Charming and sweet! See you tomorrow! 

The charming Indian wedding of Sarita and Heetesh at the coveted Dreams Playa Mujeres Golf and Spa Resort has me reeling with that "toes in the sand" type of vibe. Imagine sunbathing and a majestic baraat, led by Desi Junction DJs, crosses your path. It is not something you see every day, but through the lens of Duke Photography, it is almost like I am there! Sarita brought the cultural charm of India to Mexico and walked down the beach laden villa in a gorgeous bridal lengha designed by Shyamal and Shumika. In hues of royal red and Midas gold, this trousseau makes for some serious photo magic. Destination weddings require a lot more effort and coordination, but with the expertise of The One Event, Sarita truly saw her fairy tale Indian wedding coming alive right before her eyes.  My favorite part of this grand celebration was the mandap! Designed in-house, this image has me swooning! Who doesn't want to get married on the sandy beaches? Join me in the gallery to view all the endearing memories. 

We have one last editorial feature for the reception part just right around the corner!
