Welcome to Maharani Weddings

When Mondays roll around, we make sure to bring you something extra dazzling, and that's why we're sharing a Texas-sized Indian wedding celebration planned by Glitzzy Events today! Fabulous photog, Ushna Khan Photography, captured the marital magic at Manasa and Krishan's amazing affair in Austin, where the hair and makeup artist from All Dolled Up ensured that the Indian bride would deliver nothing but picture perfection on her big day. Maharani Manasa and her sister scoured the crowded shops of Bangalore (via FaceTime!) for the perfect, pink bridal sari, and we are uber in love with her sensational selection. Her bridesmaids are also lovely as can be in matching colors with a pop of green! Later today, we'll be giving you an exclusive look at Manasa and Krishan's ceremony, and their unforgettable reception, where Nachle DJ Entertainment made an appearance on the decks — making the dance floor extra memorable! Before we get to those must-see details, we'll be meeting Raja Krishan and checking out the happy couple's first look and the groom's baraat! Until then, head into the complete gallery where you can find even more memorable getting ready moments and bridal party portraits!

Maharani Manasa, on shopping for her dream wedding sari:

"I wanted a tradition silk South Indian sari for the wedding ceremony. I had researched different prints/looks online and sent my poor mother and sister to India to search for my sari and bridesmaids outfits. My sister and I have similar taste in clothes so I trusted her judgment. She would face time me from packed saree shops in Bangalore to make sure I liked her selections."

I'll be introducing you to Manasa's dashing Raja, next, so stick around!

We instantly fell for Maharani Meha the second she began to speak, and you will too when you check out this incredibly beautiful Indian wedding film from her and Raja Sutinder's celebration in Southern California, shot by Russell John Films! Just when we though our hearts couldn't open up anymore for the gorgeous Indian bride, her Prince Charming woos us with his words and makes us fall for her even more. Tricia Dahlgren Events coordinated the day-of the adorable duo's incredible shaadi, which included a traditional Sikh ceremony, an outdoor Hindu wedding ceremony at the Los Verdes Golf Course, high-energy baraat highlights and some of the most breathtaking vows from the bride and groom. We were told that Monsoon Catering catered the newlyweds' amazing affair, and the uber talented team from Braja Mandala Photography was there to capture all of their extraordinary details in photographic form — we'd sure love to see those results! Wouldn't you?

Following their extraordinary Indian wedding ceremony, Divya and Rahul switched gears by changing into some party perfect outfits for their reception at the St. Regis Monarch Beach, where their planning experts from Planning Elegance and decor specialists from 2Create Designs had the most unforgettable evening waiting for them. Dressed in a dazzling blue reception lengha from Neeta Lulla and post-ceremony perfect hair and makeup by Dolled up by Lulu, today's Indian bride was set for an incredibly memorable evening with family and friends. Lin and Jirsa Photography captured these sensational highlights from the amazing affair, which featured a DJ from Sound Nation, stunning event lighting by Amber Event Production and a confetti cannon that shot heart-shaped happiness! You can revel in even more of the delightful details from this incredible event in the complete gallery!

Maharani Divya, on her wedding style:

"I really love colors and decided on pink and gold for the wedding and reception. I wanted something very modern and traditional and thought these colors were perfect mix."

On the wedding planning process, and what she enjoyed most:

"It was definitely stressful but having a wedding planner helped. I liked the food and cake tasting the best and also visiting the venue with my husband as after our meetings we would often just go eat and enjoy the venue before our drive back to LA."

Ta ta for today, my dears! Join us tomorrow for another extraordinary wedding event that is sure to capture your heart!
