Welcome to Maharani Weddings

Hi, beautiful Maharanis! If you were looking for inspiration, you've come to the right place! Meera & Sagar's big wedding affair packs everything we love and much more! They wanted a destination wedding and set their eyes on Marriott Phoenix Resort Tempe at The Buttes. The couple wished to have an event outside for their dream destination wedding, so Meera had her Grah Shanti at the top of the rock while Sagar had his in the ballroom. We were lost in a mesmerizing haze of delight over the heavenly decor Inner Space Events crafted for this wedding ceremony. They raised the bar and exceeded all expectations, matching the venue's elegance with a captivating scenery so impressive that we were speechless. This wedding celebration could not have been possible without Epic Everlasting Events. This talented and highly experienced team took care of the planning and execution of the wedding bash and delivered utter perfection! Meera said, "I do," looking like a princess dressed in a fashionable yet traditional lengha after being fully glamorized by Ieshia. After the beautiful ceremony, the couple celebrated this momentous occasion and danced the night away at the Marriott Phoenix Resort Tempe at The Buttes with their closest friends and family to the beats of the award-winning, full-service event production company M4U Events. They are about enthusiasm, passion, professionalism, and the perfect ally for your event! Don't miss the incredible gallery by Trevor Dayley Photography!  We are sure you are going to enjoy every shot.

Good morning, darlings! Can you believe how fast this week slipped through our fingers? It seems like we went from Monday to Friday in just the blink of an eye! And you know that we always have something special for you to start getting ready for the weekend, and today is no exception! This time, we are taking you to the elegant Hilton Baltimore BWI Airport so you can take part in this beautiful ceremony. This incredible venue was the perfect choice to host this lovely wedding since their experience with Indian Weddings was a great help! Darshan Photography captured shots from every possible angle to make us feel just as if we were there and to admire all the beauty of Jasmine & Ujval, who attended this life-changing ceremony looking elegantly and fashionably. Still, it was our gorgeous Jasmine who stole the show with the exquisite makeup designed by Anjali. Hands down, this ceremony was a dream come true thanks to Nirali's planning and design and the incredible decorations by Raj. All we have to say is that our hearts melt with tenderness and joy when seeing these two together as there is no way to hide that they were a match made in heaven! DJ Ricky was able to make every moment special from helping them dance on clouds for their first dance to playing the best music throughout the night. Silk Banquet & Catering did an amazing job and had some many fusion options that guests could not get enough. If you want to dive a little deeper into this romantic wedding ceremony, make sure to stop by today's full gallery. It'll brighten up your day!

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
We met online on a dating app. We started talking for a few weeks and Ujval decided to "come to visit" his friend in Michigan. We decided to go out to dinner at San Morello. Of course, Ujval was late but as soon as he arrived, he made up for it. Fireworks exploded and dinner flew by. After dinner, we decided to go get dessert at Jasmine's favorite bakery. While getting our dessert, Jasmine's friend called in a panic because her dog had run away, and our date was cut short. This might sound like an excuse to get out of date, but Ujval was very understanding. This only added to his charm.  The next day we were still texting and talked about wanting to see each other again but Jasmine was in Ohio on a preplanned weekend trip with some of her friends. Ujval decided to extend his trip an extra day so we could meet up again. On Jasmine's return, we went out to dinner with Ujval's friend, Nishant. Afterward, we went to watch Disney movies with some of Jasmine's friends.
I knew he was the one when he met my family, my parents ended up coming to Atlanta with me on my visit to just "look around" but when he came to pick me up for a date, they surprised him to say hello. He was always very understanding and went with the flow. I knew he was the one for me.
Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
It was my dad's birthday and we had planned a family trip to go to North Carolina. Ujval invited his parents on the trip too so our family could have our first trip together. Once we got there we drove to Biltmore to stay for the weekend. As soon as we checked in my mother kept talking about these nice dresses she had gotten me for the fancy dinner we had planned the next day, I started to question what was happening. The next day after lunch everyone kept disappearing throughout the day until it was time to get ready. We got ready and Ujval asked if we wanted to walk around while everyone was still getting ready. As were walking around, we run into Ujval's dad and he say o no! you guys are already here! and tells us to look at the photographer. In front of Biltmore, he had a huge Marry me sign ready to propose. It was beautiful and better than anything I could have dreamed of.
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.
The Hilton BWI was excellent and Karen was there to help us with every step. They were used to Indian weddings so they were very helpful.
Raj decorations took many of my Pinterest ideas and brought them to reality. Most of the Ideas I brought him he had said he had not done before but would figure out a way. Honestly, our wedding looked even better than the Pinterest post I had shown him.
Darshan (photography) really helps us remember our special day. His team was very supportive and help us overcome our awkward selves and create some beautiful pictures.
Anjali (Makeup)- was great and helpful in creating a different look for each event. At the receptions, I ruined my hair extension and she pulled off a miracle with a new look at the last minute.
Dj Topedo and Co-  help us keep the party going. He was able to make every moment special from helping us dance on clouds for our first dance to playing the best music throughout the night.
How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
R. I knew I wanted a dark red lengha. I, unfortunately, was not able to go to India due to hospital restrictions from work so my mother went in my place. She had multiple vendors call me and have zoom calls to look at outfits. I was waking up at 3 am prior to work to do these meetings and finally found one that I was in love with.
What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
I had several zoom meetings throughout the week with my parents, his parents, and us. It was a bonding experience with the whole family and made me truly understand how much both our parents are going to support us throughout our lives.
What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
The food!!! Silk did an amazing job and had many fusion options that people could not get enough of.
Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
During our Sangeet, Ujval had a surprise dance for me. He hates dancing as much as I love to dance and he created this special moment for me. He looked so cute at the moment and I always remember it.
For events other than your ceremony, please tell us as much as you would like about the decor, style, dances, and all the special details.
Sangeet, we created little cart stations for the food so it felt like we were at a festival and there were all different fusion food at each station (Mexican, Asian, dessert, etc).  The dance floor was surrounded by cots and pillows for people to come to sit and watch the show. The dance floor and a false ceiling with lights have a more romantic vibe. This was such a special event for me.
Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
The one thing I wish I would change would be that I wish I went out to go enjoy the Bharat. I wish I went and dance in the car and go to celebrate that moment instead of being stuck in a room waiting.

Today we are sharing Nikita and Milan's wedding highlight reel. This romantic work of art was captured and produced by the talented Vellora Productions. With impeccable visual storytelling, the cinematographers captured their most special days chronologically. This duo's entire soiree was full of music and merriment and culminated with a beautiful ceremony and reception at the Renaissance Dallas Hotel. Palino Events helped Nikita and Milan helped them tailor and plan the wedding of their dreams. Kudos to the planning team for such incredibly well-executed events. With a long list of events, Maharani Nikita had to search for Red Lotus Artistry to assist her in preparing all her bridal looks! The beauty expert team draped and styled her outfits and created the bridal makeup and hairstyles for all her five functions. I am sure guests were in awe of all her unique looks! Divine Décor of Dallas took care of all decor. Ketan Mistry is amazing at coming up with fresh ideas and really portraying what you want through his work. Nikita says. Their reception had the incredible DJ Riz Entertainment, who made their last function a celebration that everyone will remember for years! They also brought all the way from England a good dose of Barfi Bites by Priti Good Desserts, especially for the occasion that everyone loved, and made this evening even more special! Scroll down and watch and get inspired by this lovely union through the lens of Vellora Productions. 

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
The better version is on our website!
I met Milan through our multiple family and friends. Someone texted my mum a picture of him, which she sent to me back in Nov 2018, she asked “are you interested he’s 6’3” ?” I immediately said, “finally, someone cute and tall!”
Milan actually ghosted me twice so I was a little apprehensive to speak with him again. About 6 months later, my family and I went to Amarillo, TX to meet my sister's boyfriend's family. We stopped by Milan’s aunt's house (because my parents were friends with them) and they had planned for each of us to be there without us knowing. Milan showed up and I got so nervous. He was cute and very tall. My family left me there to get to know him, and we ended up going to a bar and talking for hours. He then went to drop me off in the Palo Duro Canyon so I could meet up with my family. I figured this would be it. We’re not going to talk after this because I didn’t know if he was interested. But then as we were waiting in the dark for my parents and sister to finish their show. He leaned in for the kiss, it was then, that fireworks from the show started going off. I burst out in laughter. It was so cliche.
We met up in Dallas 3 weeks later and he asked me to be his girlfriend that night. I knew Milan was the one after 2 months of talking, the final test was if Simon (my Goldendoodle) liked him…he passed the test. Milan is so caring and loving and he fits into my family so well. His parents are amazing and he’s my best friend.
Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
On our website :)
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.
We started the planning process about a year out (a couple of months after the proposal) I had 3 destinations in mind for my wedding so I started looking up potential venues and interviewing wedding planners. Milan’s best friend from college, Chanel Patel, was a wedding planner so we decided to interview them as well. Palino Events were fairly new at the time but I knew they would understand the aesthetic of what I wanted, we trusted them because Chanel was Milan’s friend and after speaking with them I knew they would advocate for me and Milan when speaking to other vendors and our parents! We all know planning an Indian wedding is 50% for your parents haha. 
The hotel venue we used was Renaissance Dallas Hotel. The staff was kind and attentive, the venue was also beautiful and convenient.
Red Lotus Artistry from Dallas did all of the bride's side HMU and my mothers in law and her sister. Vidya is amazing and so easy to work with. She’s worth it. She provided services for all my bridesmaids and sisters plus my mum and Milan’s mum and aunt which is difficult to find a team large enough do to that. She also draped and did my hair for all events. She really understands your personality and translates that into your looks. I felt comfortable and beautiful for all 5 of my events! We even recently used her again for my sister's wedding in Cancun - in Nov 2022!
All of my outfits except for my wedding outfit were designed and made by KEVIV DESIGNS in Philadelphia! Vivek has so much attention to detail, gets you what you want and is honest about what is in and what looks classic! He helped me pair up my jewelry and style all of my looks! His communication was on point and he was always there for me throughout the entire process! Highly recommend!
Vulcal Orlando designed my wedding lengha and Milan’s outfit. It was amazingly designed and the fit was perfect!
My Decor was designed and displayed by Divine Decor Of Dallas. Ketan Mistry is truly an artist! He pays attention to what the bride wants. Which is so great when planning any wedding. He’s amazing at coming up with fresh ideas and really portraying what you want through his work. He’s a great friend now and I recommend him to everyone that is getting married! I truly was overwhelmed with how slot-on he was with my decor. Couldn’t have found anyone better.
How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
I originally wanted a red lengha but my colors were emerald, ivory, and blush pink. I found a design that I fell in love with and added a few touches to it when I showed it to Vulcal we came up with the idea to make the lengha ivory and blush pink/peach!
What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
Spending time with my parents and all the excel spreadsheets! I really enjoy planning events and using excel so this was a dream for me! ;)
What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
The decor, food, and the venue
Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
The moment we walked out to the welcome party/Sangeet. It was so overwhelming that I cried happy tears! Just seeing everyone there for us and how beautiful everything turned out was truly so memorable for me.
Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
Don’t be scared to ask for what you want. Have fun! Don’t stress too much and soak in every moment during that week. Pamper yourself the month of your wedding, if things don’t go as planned it’s OK! everyone will still love it as long as you’re not stressed. Don’t stress too much on the tiny details because people won’t notice. Lol
Anything else you want to tell us? We'd love to hear all about your other details! (jewelry, mehndi, venue, cake, bouquets, etc.)
My bouquet was actually made by my mum with silk flowers because I want to keep it on display in my house. I have my grandmother's broach on there because she wasn’t able to attend my wedding due to COVID travel restrictions from the UK.
Most of my jewelry was from indiatrend.com and I got so many compliments!
My desserts were amazing, we had Barfi Bites flown in all the way from England made by my family friend, Minesh Patel.
We also had all of our cute and tasty desserts at the reception made by Charming Affairs By Noreen in Dallas! They were gone in literally 10 mins or less!
