Welcome to Maharani Weddings

Hello, ladies! We are glad you could join us at Vanesha & Shajib's wedding ceremony. Designed and executed by Alchemy Events, this ceremony was a dream come true! Herbivore Floral Designs transformed the balcony and the halls of the Riverview Room in a magical setting for our lovebirds to tie the knot. Vanesha stole all the looks as she walked down the aisle, looking like a vision of beauty on her red lengha embellished with golden details. Makeover by Paro complemented this look praising her natural beauty with lovely makeup and hairstyle, resulting in that dreamy look that all Maharanis aspire for their big day. Without any question, this was a fantastic event that everyone loved, and we have all the insights for you to enjoy it! From the outdoor ceremony on the balcony, all the way to the different rituals that took place inside the halls of this fantastic venue, we have it all! We want to do a big shoutout to Mary M. Cinema for the incredible shots they captured during this life-changing ceremony. You can check them out in today's gallery! You are going to have a blast!

Good morning, ladies! Get ready to enjoy all the beauty and magic surrounding Vanesha & Shajib's wedding festivities! We're starting this couple's big day by joining them at a harmonious and vivid Baraat procession leading to the exclusive Riverview Room, where the ceremony took place. But this Baraat comes with a surprise! Instead of having just Shajib taking part in the Baraat, our gorgeous Vanesha also took part in this event riding her own horse! Although the Baraat has mainly been considered a groom's tradition, Vanesha stepped up to have her own Baraat. She made her voice heard, and against all the odds, she got into her own horse and had a blast. Definitely a true example of how traditional ceremonies can be adapted to modern takes; empowering women and adding a little spin-off that makes them even more significant. This Maharani was living her dream, and you can see how happy she was thanks to the beautiful shots captured by Mary M. Cinema. This Baraat procession was so captivating that all people passing by stood up to take some pictures and to admire the beauty of our lovely Vanesha. And we cannot blame them as this Maharani looked like a princess from a fairy tale thanks to the fantastic work of Makeover by Paro, who took care of her beauty needs. For more amazing shots of this Baraat procession, head into the gallery that we have prepared for today. It is full of fantastic and enchanting details that you're going to love!

Hello there, beautiful ladies! It is time to celebrate and enjoy the recent union of our lovebirds through their incredible and vibrant wedding reception. So we hope you are ready to have some fun because this event will make you have a blast! Held inside the halls of the exclusive Hilton Long Island / Huntington, this reception party was something out of this world! Once again, the winning combination of House of Dipali on the decor and Chandai Events on the planning and execution managed to surprise us and left us speechless with such a magnificent event. And if this was not enough, Bollywood DJs took care of the musical mood that lit the dance floor and put all the guests on their feet to the rhythm of the hits of the moment. Those who were not dancing were enjoying the delicious plates that Akbar Restaurant prepared for this gala. So there was no excuse for not having fun, whether eating or dancing, all the guests had a night to remember! Without a doubt, this was the best way for Rupa & Krishen to celebrate their wedding in the company of their family and closest friends. The night was coming to an end when our beautiful couple had the first cut at the cake that City Cakes prepared for this gala. And although the wedding festivities are coming to an end with this event, Rupa & Krishen's everlasting love story has just begun! If you want to enjoy the most beautiful moments of this wedding again, go to our gallery! The good friends at House of Talent Studio have shared the best photos of this celebration, and we have compiled them for you to have a visual delight! So don't miss it out!

Hi there, ladies! We are back with more details into Arshia & Neil's wedding celebration! This time we will be taking a look at the traditional and solemn wedding ceremony held at the exclusive Jersey City Hyatt. Neil arrived at this ceremony riding a beautiful white horse from Caliber Farms while accompanied with a Baraat procession full of merriment, music, and dances! After the Baraat, it was time to move on with the ceremony that united Arshia & Neil in marriage. Tum Hi Ho Events planned and executed this ceremony to perfection while Elegant Affairs took care of the decor. And what a great job these two made! Their talent and expertise they have were reflected in every single detail surrounding this magical event, taking it to the next level. Although the scene was impressive on its own, it was Arshia who stole all the looks wearing a dual-tone lengha embellished with golden patterns. KC Makeup by Karuna Chani elevated the beauty of this head-turning look with an elegant hairstyle and a fantastic nude makeup, making Arshia look like a princess! There is no denying that Raja Neil is a lucky guy for getting married to such a beautiful Maharani! The overall ceremony was elegant, traditional, and full of love and romanticism. And thanks to the remarkable work of PhotosMadeEz, we get to take a look at it from the inside. Without any question, this was a ceremony everyone loved, and we are sure that you can take a lot of inspiring ideas from it!

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
We met through family friends who were trying to set us up.  I think we both had little to no expectations before we met so it ended up being a good surprise.  There was a point after dating where I was going through a rough patch at work.  Rushi would listen to me complain (a lot) and be supportive.  Something unpleasant happened with my supervisors, and I remember when I told him what happened - he was so upset.  Probably more upset than me.  I remember thinking, "Wow, he really cares about me.  This could be it."  The next 2 years sealed the deal!

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
We had been planning a trip to Ireland.  Rushi had already been there before but this was my first time visiting there.  We rented a car and drove along the countryside, visiting some new places for him and his favorites we had been before.  We were in Killarney visiting Killarney National Park.  We started walking into this forest-like area off the beaten path.  We were getting deeper and deeper in the forest (I was starting to panic a bit).  We reached a clearing where it was large, circle of mowed grass encircled by large trees.  In the middle of this, there was a gazebo with some benches. He sat down first, and as I was about to sit down next to him, I noticed this ring on the bench.  I picked it up and told him, " look, someone left their ring."  He responded with, "yes, I will marry you."  And now the running joke is that I proposed to him lol.  

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.
Planning our wedding was a bit of a challenge as our families are in different locations.  We considered multiple locations but ended up picking home for me - Fort Worth, TX.  We looked at venues that could accommodate what we were looking for in a venue - an outdoor ceremony and indoor reception.  We ended up picking the Worthington Renaissance Hotel in Sundance Square - they had an amazing rooftop terrace with fountains that we thought would be perfect for the ceremony.

Venues took some time overall.  I visited a lot of them and hardest part would be availability.  Some were booked almost 2 years in advance.  But it was worth it to keep looking for the right place.  

Hair and make up - I did my own makeup for my mehndi, pithi, and rehearsal dinner.  For the wedding and reception, Rushi and my mom convinced me that I should have someone help me so it would be one less thing to worry about.  They were absolutely they were right.  I didn't do a trial but I looked at Instagram photos to figure out whose style I liked - MUA who would accomplish the look I was looking for.  The HMUA who did get me ready for both ceremony/reception did an amazing job - my makeup stayed right where it was supposed to all night and she accomplished the look without the use of so many products.

Decor theme - because we wanted an outdoor wedding ceremony - we tried to keep it simple.  We had a garden theme - with pink and white flowers and green foliage.  We used lanterns and birdcages along the aisle that were repurposed as reception centerpieces.  

DJ - We spent a lot of time finding a DJ.  We wanted someone who would turn our reception into a party. 
 We used this company called Outspoken Visions and they were amazing!  They were so flexible, moved out Gobo Monogram from the cocktail area, had a tabla player, worked with us on the uplighting.  Could not say enough nice things about this company!

Cake/Donuts - we opted to have cupcakes for the guests and a 6" naked cutting cake for us.  We wanted our guests to have options.  We got our cupcakes from Gigi's Cupcakes in North Fort Worth.  They did a fabulous job setting up and Kristi was so pleasant to work with.  I had seen donut walls on Instagram and really wanted to have one.  I worked with Angie at FunkyTown Donuts.  They also were so easy to work with and did an excellent job setting up and making suggestions that would work for our wedding.  

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
Outfits - I went shopping with my mom and aunt at Sari Palace in Oakland, CA.  I had tried looking locally in DFW and also Atlanta at Global Mall with no luck.  Sari Palace had a huge selection and the outfits were customizable - such a great experience working with them.  I tried on about 20 total outfits before I decided on a lengha.  I love the color pink so it just ended that both my ceremony/reception outfits had pink or pink hues in it.  I loved that it had a contemporary look but yet still looked fitting for a bridal outfit.  I picked a Sherwani for Rushi that was similar to my bridal outfit (he didn't care what he wore lol). For the reception, my outfit was a dusty rose.  Rushi and I had picked a blue suit for him so he wore a tie matching my outfit.  

What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
Honestly - being done, or rather checking things off our list.  I think both Rushi and I were really excited when the rehearsal dinner started because we knew that we had done our best and we were gonna have fun going forward no matter what.  

What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
We tried to keep our wedding casual.  The venue was in the middle of Sundance Square where people could walk around to go shopping or eating.  We had a later ceremony start time of 2p and reception to follow.  We asked that our bridesmaids and groomsmen wear whatever they want in shades of either gold/white/pink.  I think we wanted everyone to just come and enjoy themselves.

Oh and the donut wall 

Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
Our first dance.  We didn't practice at all - we hadn't entirely decided if we would do a first dance until the week of.  Rushi loves Celion Dion (rightfully so) so we danced to "That's The Way It Is."  We just went in circles, but I remember being just really excited in that moment.  

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
Try to enjoy the day of, it really does go by so fast.

This photoshoot is the perfect preamble for what's coming next, so stay close if you don't want to miss the upcoming wedding ceremony!
