Melville, NY Indian Wedding by Nayeem Vohra Photography

When Shilpa met Maneesh online, little did she know that it would lead to a journey filled with laughter, endless conversations, and shared meals. Their love blossomed over a mutual appreciation for all things food-related—a love language they both spoke fluently. Maneesh proposed in a style reminiscent of The Bachelor, complete with a rooftop rose ceremony and a Jesse Palmer video. The romance meter was definitely maxed out!

Planning their wedding was no small feat, but with a dream team of vendors and many Google Docs, Shilpa & Maneesh crafted an unforgettable celebration at the Hilton Long Island Huntington. From the first walkthrough, their wedding planners from Detailed Affairs Team, coordinated seamlessly, ensuring every detail was executed flawlessly. Their dedication shone brightest on the big day when they flawlessly juggled the timing, coordination, and all the last-minute surprises (because, let's face it, no wedding day is complete without a few!).

Shilpa envisioned a blend of traditional and modern elements for the decor, creating a timeless yet vibrant ambiance. Florista Decor transformed this vision into reality, working its magic with a color palette that complemented Shilpa's stunning outfits. Think lush floral arrangements in shades of red and gold, intricate mandap design, and an elegant reception setup that keeps things classy yet full of personality. Now, let's talk about the bride's show-stopping outfit. Shilpa always dreamed of wearing a bright red lengha, and she found "the one" at the first shop she visited in India with her mom. Crafted by Sanjeela Fashions Delhi, this outfit was a masterpiece with its intricate detailing and vibrant hue. Meanwhile, Maneesh complemented her effortlessly in an elegant ensemble by Silver Tulip Couture, bringing a regal charm to every moment.

From the tear-jerking first look to the joyous dance floor shots, every frame from Nayeem Vohra Photography told a story. Nayeem has a remarkable talent for blending artistry with authenticity, capturing the grand gestures and the quiet, tender moments—the quick smile between Shilpa & Maneesh, the stolen glances, and the unspoken emotions that passed between them. 

In Shilpa's own words, the secret to a smooth planning process was staying organized, using many checklists, and having a great team of vendors. 

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
We met online, and after texting back and forth, we met for our first date in Brooklyn, where I lived at the time! We went out for dinner and the conversation flowed naturally as we realized how much we had in common. I knew he was the one who had a similar personality, how he always made me laugh at silly jokes, and especially because we bonded over our common love language of sharing food!

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
One of my favorite shows has always been The Bachelor/Bachelorette. Knowing this, he recreated a Bachelorette finale and proposed with a traditional Bachelor proposal! We were on our way to what I thought was his work holiday party, with plans to meet some friends at The Fleur Room in NYC beforehand. As we stepped into the empty rooftop, I assumed we were the first ones there until he played a video from Jesse Palmer welcoming me to my final rose ceremony and proposal! After I said yes, he surprised me with our parents, family, and friends coming to The Fleur Room to celebrate the night with us.

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 planned our wedding in about 8-9 months, and planning involved lots of checklists, Google Docs, and phone/video calls! We did a lot of research to pick our vendors, but once we did, everything fell into place really quickly. We were looking to have a traditional Indian wedding with modern and fun twists, and all of our vendors really helped us achieve this. For our decor and color scheme, the first thing we picked was the colors of my bridal, reception, and bridesmaids outfits, and then the rest of the decor complemented those colors. Working with our decorator was amazing, she was so creative and really helped to bring our vision to life. We didn't have a specific theme in mind besides the colors and wanted to keep our reception elegant and classy, and with our decorator's help, we designed the perfect aesthetic. Our wedding planners were great, and they were really essential for the coordination of all the vendors for the day of the event. One of the best things we did during the planning process was a walk-through at the venue about one month before the wedding with the wedding planner, decorator, and venue. This really helped us feel at ease that everyone was on the same page for the timing and flow of events of the big day!

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
I always knew I wanted to wear bright red for my bridal lengha but never really had a design in mind. I went shopping in India with my mom and found my bridal lengha at the first shop we went to! I only tried on 5-6 outfits and instantly knew this was the one when I saw it! I loved the bright color and detailed work and knew it would stand out amongst the color scheme of the ceremony.

Every moment was captured with artistry and heart, leaving memories that will be cherished forever.

Coral Gables, FL Indian Weddings by Balerina Films

Imagine a love story set against a backdrop as vibrant as the love it celebrates. That’s precisely what unfolded when Umama & Amit tied the knot at the iconic Loews Coral Gables; it was the perfect stage for Umama & Amit’s love story. The venue, with its elegant architecture and lush surroundings, provided a grand and intimate space, lending an aura of timeless charm. When guests arrived, they were enveloped in an atmosphere that beautifully married sophistication with a warm, welcoming vibe. Every corner of the venue was thoughtfully adorned, creating scenes straight out of a fairytale and setting the tone for a celebration that would linger in everyone’s hearts.

Behind every smooth transition and flawless moment was the expertise of Eventrics Indian Weddings. With an eye for detail and an innate understanding of South Asian wedding traditions, they turned Umama & Amit’s vision into a reality. From the exuberant Baraat to the heartfelt vows, every moment, flowed seamlessly, allowing the couple and their guests to immerse themselves fully in the experience. 

With Petal Productions at the helm, the décor was spectacular. Bold reds and delicate gold accents echoed through every floral arrangement, adding depth and vibrancy to the venue. Imagine towering floral installations framing each moment with elegance, drawing gasps from guests as they took in the beauty around them. The blooms were not just decorations but a living part of the celebration, breathing life and color into every corner.

And what’s a South Asian wedding without a Baraat that brings energy and enthusiasm? Pavan Events delivered precisely that. Amit made his grand entrance in true Bollywood style, riding in style and surrounded by friends and family who matched his excitement step for step. With beats that resonated through the crowd and infectious energy, they made sure the Baraat wasn’t just an entrance—it was a show-stopping celebration that left everyone cheering and dancing.

In a quiet moment away from the festivities, Umama and Amit shared their “First Look.” As Umama, draped in her splendid red and gold attire, approached Amit, time seemed to pause. Her intricate Mehndi, done by Illusion Mehndi, perfectly complemented her traditional ensemble, adding a touch of delicate artistry. The couple’s eyes met, and every detail faded into the background at that moment.

What makes Balerina Films stand out is their ability to bring out the unique personalities of each couple they work with. With Umama & Amit, they captured not just a wedding but a love story that unfolded with humor, warmth, and authenticity. Their work feels as intimate as it is artistic, bringing out the personal moments that make each wedding one-of-a-kind.

As night fell, the celebration shifted indoors, where the reception hall had been transformed into a glamorous wonderland. Candles flickered on tables adorned with intricate designs, casting a warm glow that made the whole room feel like a scene out of a romantic movie. Umama & Amit’s first dance was elegant and playful, embodying their deep love and friendship.

Palos Verdes, CA Indian Wedding by White Rose Production

You get pure wedding magic when you mix the sun-kissed shores of Terranea Resort with a couple as charming as Karishma & Vinay. Picture a love story unfolding against the backdrop of crashing waves, endless blue skies, and the coastal elegance of a California dream. And let's remember the sprinkle of Bollywood flair that made every moment sparkle!

From the moment Karishma made her grand entrance—draped in a breathtaking outfit that whispered tradition with a twist—she looked every bit the queen. Styled to perfection by the talented Dina Saddat, her makeup and hair embodied effortless grace, complemented by a custom ensemble that turned heads, made hearts flutter, and had Vinay in complete awe. And Vinay? Equally dapper in his designer outfit, he was the perfect prince to Karishma's dazzling queen. The first look? Let's say it was the moment that could melt the hearts of even the most seasoned wedding photographers.

Capturing memories that last a lifetime is no small feat, and Ushna Khan Photography was there, frame by frame, to immortalize each radiant smile, each heartfelt glance, and every tear that glistened with joy. White Rose Production seamlessly wove together Karishma & Vinay's big day into a masterpiece, blending sweeping panoramic shots of the oceanfront venue with close-ups that captured their most intimate exchanges. The team's skillful use of light, music, and editing made each scene feel like a page out of a romance novel. When you watch the final film, you're not just an observer but a guest, feeling the thrill of Karishma's bridal entrance, the excitement of their first dance, and the warmth of family laughter. Their video tells a story so personal and real that viewers can almost feel the sea breeze and hear the waves in the background.

But the real party began at the reception, where 3D Sounds took the energy up a notch. Karishma and Vinay set the dance floor ablaze, followed by friends and family who joined in the fun, proving that good music and a little rhythm are all you need for an unforgettable celebration. And, let's say their getaway in a classic car from Hollywood Classic Cars was the kind of fairytale send-off every bride and groom dreams of. They included little nods to their shared love for old Hollywood glamour and even surprised guests with vintage-inspired decor. A final, sweet touch that spoke volumes about their style and grace? A sentimental video montage that took everyone on a journey through their love story—from childhood snapshots to their first date. There wasn't a dry eye in the house.
