Welcome to Maharani Weddings

The days of pre-wedding events culminated at the Islamic Center of the East Valley with the most important ceremony, the Nikkah. Here, our sweet pair wed amidst their loved ones, prayers and with the ring exchange ceremony, the holy union was official. The dapper lovebirds couldn’t tie the knot without being beautifully portrayed by Carrie Patricia Studios. The bride's cream and golden trousseau was tied and styled by the expert of Makiaj Beauty who also created a glowing and clear bridal makeup for our Maharani. Groom Saddam’s Arab style ensemble certainly had an impressive touch of elegance and culture. The wedding day videography was in charge of Sameer Soorma Studios whose camera crew documented every emotion of the blissful ceremony and all the splendor of the wedding banquet! Don't forget to see our gallery for more!

See all the deets of the last grand celebration in a few!

It's time to feast your eyes on this New Jersey wedding, courtesy of Studio Nine Photography + Cinema. The floral centerpieces, by Atlas Floral Decorators Inc., are gorgeous!

From the bride, on friends and family helping:

"I have a huge family and friend base who really helped out with this wedding in all senses, but if I have to chose one person who stood out, it would, of course, have to be my mother. Even though we argued 1,000 times and had different opinions on almost everything, in the end she made sure everything went perfectly. My day would not have been as flawless in every aspect if it was not for my mom."

Fun pics from the reception celebration is up next!
