Welcome to Maharani Weddings

If there's one thing we adore, it's a wedding that's equal parts dreamy, regal, and full of personal touches. Natasha & Pranay's wedding was nothing short of spectacular, blending tradition with modern elegance while keeping the vibes fun and vibrant. This wedding had everything from a jaw-dropping ceremony to a dance floor that could rival a Bollywood movie set!

With the stunning backdrop of Ann Arbor Marriott Ypsilanti at Eagle Crest, Natasha & Pranay's wedding was an enchanting affair. Every detail, from the floral installations to the candlelit reception tables, was meticulously curated by Marigold Wedding Planners—who deserve a standing ovation for making this celebration look like a royal affair straight out of a fairy tale. They transformed each event into an immersive experience, ensuring every corner was Instagram-worthy. The ceremony mandap? A vision in florals! The reception? An opulent black-and-gold masterpiece, complete with breathtaking chandeliers and a floral "LOVE" sign that stole the show.

Natasha was an absolute vision in her traditional red bridal lehenga, intricately designed and paired with the most exquisite jewelry. Pavi Henna Art's henna artistry added elegance to her look, creating intricate designs that told a story of love and heritage. For the reception, she made a stunning switch to an ethereal white and silver ensemble, proving that a bride can serve looks at every moment.

Pranay entered in the most epic way possible—on the back of a truck, dancing to the beats of Sky Films and DJ Vic Productions. Talk about setting the tone for a celebration! Because no South Asian wedding is complete without a feast, guests were treated to the finest delicacies by Krishna Catering and Punjab Indian Cuisine for the reception and sangeet. And let's not forget the delicious sweet treats from Dearborn Sweets—because who doesn't love a sugar rush to keep the dance floor alive?

With a spectacular wedding, every moment was worth capturing, and Sky Films and DJ Vic Productions did a phenomenal job of preserving these memories forever. From the mehndi's intricate details to the mandap's grandeur, they documented it with breathtaking finesse.

This love story was beautifully celebrated. Every moment was filled with laughter, joy, and tradition.

Calling all brides-to-be! Check out Amy & JD's enchanting wedding in today's Platinum Guide Blog!

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
JD proposed in St. Augustine, which was really special because that was where we went on our first trip together as a couple. During that first trip, we had planned to visit the fort but never actually made it inside. Instead, we ended up sitting on a wall overlooking the water, and that’s where JD told me he loved me for the first time.

Almost two years later, he suggested we go back for a weekend trip. I had a feeling a proposal might be coming, but I wasn’t entirely sure. This time, we finally explored the fort, walking through and taking everything in. Afterward, we made our way back to that same spot by the water. And that’s where he got down on one knee. It was such a full-circle moment!

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
I actually came across my bridal lehenga designer, Label Neha Sinha, on Instagram a few years ago (@labelnehasinha). I followed her work for a while and loved seeing her grow, so when it was finally time to pick my lehenga, I reached out to her.

I did try on a few lehengas at two different stores in New York, but none of them gave me that “Say Yes to the Dress” moment. So, I went back to Neha, and we started working together to bring my dream lehenga to life. I always knew I wanted to wear red, and she helped bring that vision to life. She involved me in every step—starting with sketches, then the sample kali, and finally the full piece. She also designed JD's sherwani and even incorporated embroidery from my lehenga into his outfit, which made it feel even more special.

When my lehenga finally arrived, I tried it on and just knew. The craftsmanship, the fit—everything was perfect, and I finally had my moment. I’m usually the kind of person who has to try things on a million times before deciding, but this was the one time I fully trusted the process. And I’m so glad I did!

What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
While the planning process was definitely a lot of work, the most rewarding part was that JD was just as involved as I was. It truly was a 50-50 effort and having him by my side made everything more manageable and enjoyable. We got to make decisions together and share in the excitement, which made the whole experience feel more special.

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
My biggest piece of advice would be to remember that, at the end of the day, it's about celebrating your love and the people you care about. The little details might feel huge in the moment, but try not to stress too much over things that won't necessarily be noticed. And most importantly, don’t forget to enjoy the process—you’ll look back on it as a special time, so make sure to savor it with the people you love.

Maharanis, their big day was filled with vibrant energy, stunning decor, and joyful moments. Enjoy!

Some weddings are so enchanting that they leave everyone in awe. Tapannita & Brandon's union with a perfect blend of traditional charm and modern flair, this celebration was a beautiful testament to their love story. From the vibrant hues of the haldi ceremony to the romantic twilight at their reception, every detail was a dream brought to life by the talented Rama Bhat. Let's relive this fabulous affair, shall we?

If there's one word to describe Tapannita's bridal look, it's "regal." Dressed in a dazzling red and gold ensemble, her masterpiece spoke of tradition and elegance. Complimenting her glow was her bridal glam by Beauty by Jlis, who ensured her every look was perfection. Brandon wasn't to be outdone—decked in an ivory sherwani with intricate embroidery, he exuded princely charm. Together, they were the epitome of #CoupleGoals.

But the real showstopper? Tuscany Hill at The Springs in McKinney, with its breathtaking stone architecture and rolling green backdrops. Divine Decor worked its magic with a stunning palette of rich reds, soft pinks, and lush greens, seamlessly weaving together romance and tradition.

As the sun gently rose over the rolling North Texas landscape, the festivities kicked off with an exuberant baraat, a lively procession that captured the joyous spirit of the occasion. Brandon made his grand entrance with the rhythmic beats of dhol players echoing through the air as family and friends danced their way down the villa-like pathways. The bright scarves, vibrant outfits, and infectious energy added a kaleidoscope of color to the already stunning scene, setting the tone for the day's celebrations.

One unforgettable moment? Their first look. As Brandon turned around to see Tapannita in her bridal glory, the love and joy in his eyes said it all. It was a moment so pure it might as well have been plucked straight from a romantic movie. Then came the reception, where the couple made their grand entrance to the beats of Outspoken Visions Entertainment. The dance floor lit up with energy, and speeches from friends and family brought laughter and happy tears. As the couple shared their first dance, the atmosphere filled with undeniable magic that mesmerized everyone.

Tapannita & Brandon's wedding stood out for its joyful, personalized moments. Their haldi ceremony was a riot of color and laughter, and the mehndi festivities showcased a vibrant, boho aesthetic filled with intricate henna art and blooming florals. Even their furry family member made a special appearance, dressed adorably for the occasion, and stole the hearts of all the guests.

The incredibly talented PhotoKumar captured every laugh, tear, and dance move, whose artistry vividly brought Tapannita & Brandon's wedding to life. From the tender glances shared during their first look to the joyous smiles at the Haldi ceremony and the heartwarming moments on the dance floor, every frame was a masterpiece of emotion and storytelling.

The couple's love shines brightly in every frame, making their wedding an eternal memory.

The grand finale of Engage!24 Amelia Island at the stunning The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island arrived in the form of an unforgettable Gala Night—a lavish event filled with glamour and sophistication. The black-and-gold theme set a chic and elegant tone, while pops of color from the vibrant flowers and food added a playful touch. The overall setup was a perfect inspiration for a sit-down reception, with stunning cutlery, candles, and vases enhancing the luxurious atmosphere.

One of the standout features of the night? The mini 3D umbrella dinner menus! Inspired by Collins Korman Events thunderstorm theme, these umbrellas featured black and clear foil stamping to mimic the effect of raindrops falling, with a handle that showcased the iconic Engage! event logo. A truly unique touch from TPD Design House that brought the concept to life in the most delightful way.

And just when the night couldn’t get any better, surprise guest Natasha Bedingfield took the stage, packing the dance floor and bringing the perfect energy to the evening. It was a night to remember, full of style, fun, and unforgettable moments!
