Welcome to Maharani Weddings

We were head over heels for Nisha and Vishal’s ceremony, that was seemingly picture-perfect going by Nadia D Photography’s stunning captures. Never have we seen such a glorious mandap, and Weddings InStyle can easily boast this as one of their finest pieces of work! Asymmetric and ruched ivory drapes made for the majority of the mandap frame, which were lined with metallic champagne drapes. Marlene’s Floral was the perfect partner for Weddings InStyle, who decked up the mandap with monochromatic pastel white blooms. The rest of Centre Park Event and Banquet Center was doused in coral and blush flowers, and floating candles atop white columns. Mast Masala and Amar India catered world class cuisine that pleased the palates of the guests. To say that we were in love would be a severe understatement. I-Do Weddings & Events surely planned a spectacle, and while we recover from this galore, check out the wonderful photos in our gallery! Check out this featured wedding in our inaugural 2016 Unforgettable List Magazine!

With DJs from Opening Minds Entertainment to bring in the party, you know Nisha and Vishal’s reception was one swanky bash! Come back here to rage at the reception!

Pizzazz and panache were written all over the wedding of Nisha and Vishal, one that will remain etched in our memories for years to come! Planned by creative talents at I-Do Weddings & Events, this jaw-dropping wedding at the Centre Park Event and Banquet Center, was clearly a labor of love. Nadia D Photography stole the show with her impeccable photographs, especially those before the actual ceremony. In addition to an outdoor shoot out in the fields that gave us Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge feels, Nadia D Photography fully utilized the mandap to get some stellar portraits of the couple and their squads. The glorious decor work of Weddings InStyle on the mandap and the indoor space was evident in these pre-wedding shots, and perhaps also in the film by A&A Video Productions. Our Maharani Nisha looked like she belonged on the cover of a wedding magazine in her bridal elegance. She opted for a regal gold and red lengha that was encrusted with stunning mirror work, pearls, beading, and sequins. Ornate was surely redefined with Nisha’s bridal attire that was finished with a tulle embroidered dupatta cascading down as a veil. Together, Shear Hotness and Durrel Morgan created magic with hair and makeup, giving Nisha a side-swept relaxed bun, and striking ombre smokey eyes. One of the most admirable details was seen on Vishal’s cream sherwani, where the embroidery on his collar and cuffs matched that of Nisha’s blouse. This couple clearly went out of their way to coordinate their outfits, and it was a smashing success! Another highlight was the floral bodice on Nisha’s bridesmaids’ outfits - cute idea to have your girl squad coordinate fashionably. Take a look at this awesome gallery featuring a ton of photo inspiration! Have you taken a gander at our 2016 Unforgettable List Magazine? Hint: This wedding was so grand we had to make a special feature!

Trust us when we say that you have never seen a monochromatic mandap this gorgeous, so do return to the blog for the rundown on the #VishNish ceremony!

It is only natural that we end Akshi and Amit’s wedding celebration at the Ontario Science Centre in Canada with a serious bang. A week after the wedding ceremony, guests flocked to the coveted location for one last hurrah. And, believe me when I say that this is one event that guests wouldn't soon forget. The bride was jazzed up by Beauty Concept by  Shirley Wu. Long locks, bold red lips, and a flowing, floor length anarkali took center stage. The bridal attire for the night was a perfect compliment to the stunning venue which radiated a luminosity that just shined off of Akshi’s gorgeous dress. The  Ontario Science Centre in Canada was a fusion of modern day ornamentation with lit up trees, copious blooms serving as centerpieces, and a starry sweetheart stage. Blending modern day science with a Bollywood theme is no easy feat and The Moments Events has us absolutely floored with their skills. Empire Entertainment brought the beats of the night which had guests rising out of their seats and onto the dance floor. Family and friends dined on catering dished up by The Host Fine Indian Cuisine and with mouthwatering entrees like paneer cutlets and dal makhni, guests palates were left satisfied. Capturing all the action behind the lens is Banga Studios presenting us with yet another fab Indian wedding with all the images found in the gallery. Check out this featured wedding in our inaugural 2016 Unforgettable List Magazine!

For Akshi’s pretty in pink Sikh wedding at the Sikh Foundation of Virginia, it was all in the details. Every single image captured by Banga Studios is captivating and unveils a love story for the ages. From the bride’s choice of gold, motif Indian jewelry, to the non-traditional hot pink lengha, and sultry bridal look designed by Makeup by Sonia Iqbal, Akshi was the epitome of a Maharani. Amit’s baraat ceremony was led by Davi Layal who brought the group in with the euphoric sounds of a beating dhol into the Sikh temple. The bride followed shortly after, looking like royalty. Hot pink lenghas are most certainly making a comeback and we love the non-traditional approach! The bride’s sparkling gold kalires (jewelry dangling from the arms) added the perfect touch. We are excited for the cinematic experience captured by Cineverse. In the meantime, we have a sneak peek of the reception in the gallery at the Ontario Science Centre. We loved this wedding so much we had to feature it in our 2016 Unforgettable List Magazine!

We have the wedding reception decorated by The Moment Events coming right up! Virigina brides take note - if you are in the hunt for a great catering company, Bollywood Bistro has you covered. Party details coming right up.

We continue into yet another wonderful Indian wedding celebrated in our 2016 Magazine and even though we shared only a snippet of information, I am sure you have glossed over the amazing images captured by Banga Studios celebrating Aksi and Amit. Gurminder Banga has shot wedding all over the world; each wedding exuding so much fashion and flair that we need three separate features to give Maharani Akshi’s wedding the justice it merits. The bride had both a traditional Sikh wedding in Virginia as well as a reception party in Canada. The series of events was kicked off with a festive mehndi night held at Akshi’s residence. FAM Henna Arts was brought on to bestoon the bride with henna heaven, and as you can see from these photos, Akshi was one happy girl! Akshi’s choice in bridal wear channeled her inner Princess Jasmine with a sultry cropped top and matching aqua pants. Flying all the way from Canada, Gurminder Banga of Banga Studios shot all the awe-inspiring photos complete with that Banga touch that you can find in the gallery!

For the US event, the bride and groom brought on Bollywood Bistro to dish out savory catering to their guests as well hired on The Moment Events to decorate their venue with pizzazz. But first, we have the wedding coming right up!
