Welcome to Maharani Weddings

Happy Wednesday, my lovelies! Today we're headed to Nova Scotia with Trevor Allen Photography where beaming Maharani Sindura and her Raja Aneesh are getting the festivities underway with a sunshine-bright gaye holud! Our bride's lemon chiffon sari is a burst of cheer on this exuberant morning and I am a total fan of her Bohemian-style headpiece that so perfectly complements her summery look. The deep scarlet details are too FAB! And how about this tropical, balmy garden-esque venue at Saint Mary's Boat Club? I think I want to spend my next vacation aboard that lush beauty! As soon as this celebration comes to a close, it's time to begin the sangeet! A quick outfit change later, our bride and groom are ready to dance the night away! I'm gonna join them in the gallery!

From the bride: "It was very important for me to incorporate all the different cultures/backgrounds at play. Aneesh grew up in Dubai, and is from a Punjabi family. I grew up in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and my father is Kashmiri and my mother is Bangladeshi. So we had a lot of different items/customs selected from each culture, to create our hodgepodge of a wedding. This is represented through the joint Bangladeshi Gaye Holud and Punjabi Sangeet, through my bridal wear (Punjabi chudas and Kashmiri earrings), and through special touches like the bagpiper greeting the baraat on the Halifax waterfront."

Come right back for the grand baraat and gorgeous ceremony! 

Now it's time to whisk away to celebrate! These newlyweds know you have to ride in style so they hop into their platinum Mercedes (with awesome butterfly doors!) and race off to the party! At the reception, all eyes are on this bride and groom as they make their first appearance as husband and wife, and they are nothing short of ecstatic! The twinkling lights of this canopied event add the perfect amount of whimsy and this fairy tale romance has stolen my heart! See all the magic captured by Fotojen over at the gallery!

From the bride: "The best part of the planning process was seeing my ideas come to life and hunting around for all the little details. My trip to India was such a source of inspiration and really helped me to see the true beauty of an ethnic Indian wedding."

That's all for today, Maharanis! See you tomorrow!

The outdoor ceremony is too cute with a mini Maharani and Raja leading the way to the lush lemon chiffon mandap. Maharani Meryl makes her way down the rose petal aisle to her true love, and this bride and groom couldn't be a more perfect pair! The vibrant hot pinks, lime greens, and yellows make this wedding a ray of sunshine! With their rings exchanged and "I do's" sealed with a kiss, these newlyweds are ready to celebrate! Head over to the gallery to check out all the pics by Fotojen before they do!

From the bride: "The walk down the aisle was a very special moment for me. I'm not usually one for the spotlight, but this was my moment where, despite being everyone's center of attention, only the awestruck gaze of my soon-to-be husband made my heart sing."

Stay tuned as these newlyweds flash their smiles for a portrait session!
