Welcome to Maharani Weddings

We're back at The Westin Tampa Harbour Island, where Pea to Tree Events has planned the most spectacular outdoor ceremony for Amrita and David's Christian wedding, and this open-air affair is sure to take your breath away! These highlights, captured by Rad Red Creative, are beyond beautiful and the portraits are just sublime. Today's blushing bride is dressed in a gorgeous, white wedding gown, and the floral design and ceremony decor details by Hannah's Floral & Events are just absolutely charming. Paul Duhon Videography filmed some of the most memorable moments from Amrita and David's Hindu-Christian fusion wedding event, and if you haven't seen them yet, you can check them out on the Videos Blog today before we return with major post-ceremony magic from the newlyweds' reception! You can get a sneak peek at it all in the complete gallery!

Maharani Amrita, on her and David's Christian ceremony:

"I am so happy we chose to write our own vows because we really had the opportunity to express our love for one another. Writing our own vows was very special because they weren't generic and you could feel the emotions."

On her wedding style:

"Gold plays a major part in Hindu weddings. I used that as inspiration when deciding on a color palette. Gold became one of the primary colors we used and luckily pairs well with my favorite color, purple! I was so excited about the color combination because it looked beautiful in the photos and paired well with both of our ceremonies."

On her wedding planning experience:

"I enjoyed having my mom play a huge role in the planning process. While there were some stressful times, we made a really great team. I also loved that I had the opportunity to plan two weddings. It was challenging but so worth it!"

Meet me back here later today for some magical reception moments with Amrita and David, my dears!

You can count on captivating decor details when Elegant Affairs has a hand in an event, and today's Indian wedding wonder at the Hyatt Regency Jersey City on the Hudson, planned by Premini Events, is no exception! Damion Edwards Photography captured these stellar reception highlight from newlyweds, Shefali and Jacob's, post-ceremony celebration, where the happy couple looked absolutely amazing! The blushing Indian bride dazzled in a cream and gold reception lengha, her hair, makeup and jewelry the epitome of understated elegance. By Shefali's side, Raja Jacob was dashing as can be in his handsomely-tailored tuxedo, and together the adorable duo are a match made in heaven. We love the magical twinkle of tea lights and violet rosettes projected onto the walls, and can't get enough of all those delicate tabletop decorations! The newlyweds' sweetheart stage was dripping with contemporary flare that we instantly fell in love with, and you can get a closer look at it all in the complete gallery!

Maharani Shefali, on her reception style:

"The reception was an event that truly took my breath away. We incorporated so many touches that I do not even know where to start. I love flowers so we wanted a lot of flowers at every table. Our flower arrangements were shaped like clouds and had halos and had crystals hanging off them to add a glamorous touch. From afar the flowers look like they are floating in midair. Our goal was to have the entire room transformed into a completely different space. To do so we had a mirrored dance floor which was flown in from Texas, we had lighting on the walls that was a rose pattern to go along with the floral theme. Which was specifically reserved for our wedding and had never been used before. We completely changed the traditional cutlery and dishes by using gold flatware, gold rimmed glasses, and a gold rimmed charger plate. For food, most Indian weddings have a buffet but we did a plated Indian dinner. The guests were served a vegetarian plate with 4 different vegetarian options that were a modern twist on traditional foods. On the side we had the naan basket, accompaniments, and meat dishes. Jacob and I love dessert so we wanted the dessert to reflect our love of all things sweet. We love cookies so we had the milk and cookie shots from Dominique Ansel to offer a fun and delicious touch. I did not get a chance to see or try all of the desserts but there was an infinite amount of options. We had Indian and Italian ice creams, traditional Indian sweets, a variety of Italian and American cakes and sweets, and of course wedding cake from Carlo's Bakery!"

We'll see you tomorrow for another incredible wedding event that's sure to take your breath away!
