Welcome to Maharani Weddings

Welcome to the mesmerizing tale of Anisha & Kaustubh's wedding in today's Platinum Guide Blog.  

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
We met on Hinge, and I knew within a week of chatting he was special. It was only a matter of months after getting to know to each other that I knew he was “the one.”

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
It was a surprise engagement during a trip to Jamaica. The events leading up to the proposal were a comedy of errors. The groom had a wardrobe malfunction, and we got caught in a major rainstorm and were soaking wet. But, despite the evening not going how he wanted it to, the skies cleared up, and it was the perfect setting for the most perfect proposal.

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
Luckily for me, I knew exactly what I wanted. I found a designer local to Atlanta, GA, Binari Art, who helped me design my wedding outfit from design detail to fabric and colors. For my reception, I knew I wanted a Seema Gujral outfit. I visited Panache by Sharmeen in Houston, TX. My appointment there was one hour, and within that hour, I found my reception and sangeet outfits right away. There was no doubt in my mind once I put them on that they were the ones.

What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
A year later, we still have guests tell us how much fun they had at our wedding. It was very important to me and my husband, and we brought a lot of energy to our events. As a result, our guests would feed off our energy and were equally having as much fun as we were. The tequila in Mexico helped as well! The other two things we kept getting feedback on were how much our guests loved all the food and music.

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
The wedding comes and goes so fast! The best thing any bride-to-be can do is make sure the entire process is as stress-free as possible. Appoint someone to be your “go-to” so that any questions anyone has to go through them before you. And if you’re needed, you only have one person bothering you! It’s going to give you the best shot at being the most relaxed and truly getting to enjoy your big day!

Darlings, don't miss out on the exclusive content that showcases the best weddings. See you soon!

Hello Maharanis! Let's enjoy the dreamy wedding at the grand Hyatt Hyderabad Gachibowli; the Sangeet of Vedika & Chirag set the stage for their enchanting wedding saga, brimming with melodies, dances, and the warmth of familial bonds. This vibrant prelude, capturing the essence of their love, led seamlessly into a celebration marked by elegance and tradition. Vedika, the bride, was the epitome of grace and beauty, her visage artfully enhanced by Saloni Passi's makeup mastery and Nazima Sk's hair artistry, embodying modern elegance and timeless grace. The journey was immortalized by the keen lens of Akshit Jaiswal, whose photography and cinematography skillfully captured the spectrum of emotions and unforgettable moments. Each event reflected Vedika & Chirag's unique story, weaving their tastes and cultural heritage together. The couple's wedding was not just a union of hearts but a vibrant mosaic of love, tradition, and modern elegance, leaving an everlasting imprint on all who were part of their special day. Cheers to an enchanting celebration!

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
In a quirky twist of fate, amidst the Lone Star charm of Houston and the bustling streets of New York, Vedika and Chirag's love story began its epic saga. Their families in Hyderabad, armed with the ultimate matchmaking skills, orchestrated a virtual meeting across continents, sparking a connection that transcended miles and time zones. As they navigated awkward Zoom calls and dodged the occasional technical glitch, laughter became their universal language. And just like that, in a modern-day tale of love and pixels, they decided to swap Texan BBQ for New York pizza and embark on a lifetime of adventures together.

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
As we were enjoying our brunch in NYC, I was oblivious to his nervous demeanor. Suddenly, he whisked me off to Dumbo, where amidst the scenic view, he dropped to one knee and fumbled for the ring, leaving me both shocked and in stitches. Needless to say, I said yes! Thankfully, he had a drone to capture our special moments, immortalizing the surprise and love in equal measure.

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
Picking out my bridal lehenga was like participating in a whirlwind shopping marathon! I had always dreamt of being a radiant red bride, like a walking, talking embodiment of love. But here's the kicker: I arrived back in town a mere three weeks before the big day, and suddenly it was a race against time to find the perfect outfit and get it tailored faster than you can say "I do!" I practically turned into a bridal ninja, stealthily navigating through racks of fabric and piles of sequins, dodging pushy salespeople like they were bouquet-throwing bridesmaids. And let me tell you, when I finally found that perfect red ensemble, it was like the heavens opened up and angels sang... or maybe that was just me breathing a sigh of relief! So, in the end, my favorite color became whatever shade didn't clash with my stress-induced under-eye bags! But hey, who needs beauty sleep when you're too busy being a last-minute wedding fashionista?

What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
Our guests are still licking their fingers and dreaming about the food from our wedding! We decided to spice things up (quite literally) by offering different cuisines at each function. It was like a culinary world tour, with each meal leaving taste buds in a state of euphoria and stomachs begging for mercy.

Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
There's the tear-jerker moment when our parents hit the dance floor and turned our emotional song into a group therapy session. I mean, tissues should have been included in the wedding favors for that one! And then there's the cheeky moment when my husband decided he was the ultimate garland guardian and demanded a kiss as ransom before allowing it around his neck. Let's say he made me work for that floral accessory! It was like a rom-com with a sprinkle of Bollywood drama, and I wouldn't trade those memories for the world!

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
Keep calm, delegate like a boss, and never forget to laugh, especially when things go hilariously wrong. And most importantly, always have a secret stash of chocolate for those 'bridezilla' moments!

This wedding beautifully represents a vibrant journey of unity love, tradition, and festivity.

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
In July 2022, during our trip to Jamaica with "The Crew +2" - my cousins Riddhi, Raj, Amit, Neil, and Akash, and our partners Ravi and Raj's girlfriend, Dhara - an extraordinary surprise awaited us. On that magical day, as we gathered to take group photos on the beach at sunset, a resort photographer offered to take some pictures for us. Little did I know, he led us to a beautifully adorned gazebo adorned with twinkling lights that formed the words "MARRY ME." Overwhelmed with emotion, tears filled my eyes as the realization of my proposal sank in. It was a night of pure enchantment, surrounded by those closest to my heart.

What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
The most enjoyable part of planning our destination wedding in Punta Cana was the sheer delight of spending quality time with our loved ones. We laughed, shared ideas, and created beautiful memories together as we made decisions about the venue, decorations, and traditions. It was a heartwarming experience that brought us closer, celebrating our Indian heritage while embracing the natural beauty of Punta Cana. The journey of planning our wedding became a cherished chapter in our lives, filled with love, laughter, and lasting connections.

Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
The moment that keeps replaying in my mind is when I walked down the aisle on my wedding day. As I took each step, I couldn't help but realize how surrounded I was by loved ones who had traveled far to be there with us. Walking by my side were my two older brothers, Prayag and Krunal, who have always been there for me with their unwavering support, love, and laughter. Seeing the love of my life waiting for me at the end of the aisle made this moment even more special. At that exact moment, I felt the culmination of all the months of planning, and I knew deep down that it was absolutely worth it. We were finally getting married, and the overwhelming happiness I felt was simply indescribable.

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
The greatest words of wisdom I can give to Brides-to-be is to embrace the journey: Wedding planning can be exciting yet overwhelming. Embrace the process, enjoy the milestones, and remember that it's about celebrating your love and commitment.
Thank you for reading, and stay tuned for more inspiring weddings from our Maharani brides!
