Today I share the visual Indian wedding experience honoring Maharani Ashwini and Chirag. Captured by Memento Creative Services, you won't want to miss a single charming clip! The bride and groom hosted their multi-day celebration in the prestigious country of India where the design team ensured each square feet was veiled in pure splendor. The bride's quarters was her runaway! In each of her events, Ashwini was fashion forward in an ensemble of dazzling lenghas and saris. The bride's makeup artist further added to this Maharani's natural beauty and the results are breathtaking! Of course, no Indian wedding would be complete without fine dining! Various Indian chefs dished out all the eats that wedding guests have come to love in the beautiful country of India. Dive into the gallery loves, it's a good one! 

See you tomorrow! 

I return to the continuation of Ashwini and Chirag's Indian wedding celebration! And, I do have a visual treat for you today Maharanis! Ashwini was a walking masterpiece in a deep gold and burgundy raw silk sari with intricate print and heavy embroidery work. I am absolutely certain that there was not a dry eye in sight as she walked down her incredible aisle. A floral backdrop against a gorgeously draped ombre dipped linen drapery took center stage in the middle of the outdoor venue. Popular mandaps that I am seeing in 2018 are those that incorporate a modern touch with hints of traditional elegance. Memento Creative Services captured all the heartwarming shots (my favorites are down below) with many more photos brimming in our gallery. 

Such a gorgeous affair for an equally gorgeous Maharani. Stay tuned for the reception coming right up! 

The magic truly happens in India! Maharani Ashwini met Chirag in Goa while out with her friends and once she saw the compassion her future beau showed to others, she was swept off her feet! The proposal was one of the unique encounters I have read to date! "It was in a way very funny because I was not sure if he was proposing as he brought it up very casually in one of our daily strolls as we were very good friends. I was so dumbfounded that it took me a while to realize and react and I then I vanished for three days to think it through and then I said yes and we never went back." Just the way I like it! Short and to the point, and pretty much exactly like my very own proposal! One of my favorite features of this Indian wedding is the location! All the elements were multifaceted and jovial, two aspects of an Indian wedding that I have come to love! Behind the lens was the ever so impressive Indian wedding photographer Memento Creative Services. The culture of India is immersed in each and every shot, so take a gander through the gallery for all the Indian wedding fun! 

Hang on tight! I have the full Indian wedding ceremony right around the corner. 

I arrive with my passport in my hand and a sad smile, ending Maharani Mansha and Gautam's show-stopping Indian wedding at Jhanakar Garden. Before they headed into their big bash, the bride was led on a photographic journey with Beginnings For You that has me just swooning. I have to take a moment to commend this Indian bride for her choice of bridal wear. Each trousseau just exudes class and royalty! After her stellar photo session, the bride and groom were ready for their grand affair. There was no need for fancy decor or embellishments; the heart of India was bright and bold! So, how does an Indian bride plan such an extravagant event? "It was such an adventure! I took three months off of work to plan and execute the wedding of my dreams and despite all the planning, there were still about a hundred things that were left to be done last minute. It was honestly the most fun and exhilarating time for me. Planning and executing something from scratch and the fact that at the end of it, I'd be spending the rest of my life with my best friend and partner in crime." I love, love, love hearing about the process! We have amassed quite the collection of images for you in the gallery and explore one of the most beautiful countries in the world celebrating this very lovely couple. 

That’s it, folks! Are you sad to see this wedding come to an end like I have? We will have many more weddings from India coming soon! See you tomorrow.

We return back to Mansha and Gautam's destination Indian wedding with a modern Bollywood theme in mind. The bride channeled her inner Maharani donning a soft green lengha with all gold zardosi work highlighted with raw crystals and stones. Minimal gold jewelry was accessorized with this bridal gown for the maximum effect. The crowd found themselves on the outskirts of the Jhankar Garden where a priest was waiting to start the Indian wedding ceremony. The mandap was designed with minimal silk draperies in mind which were genius as who wouldn’t want to take in the architectural views of this sweeping country? I am so in love with Mansha's bridal gown and my favorite part of chatting with our brides is getting to know the story of how the "the one" was chosen. Bridal lengha, of course. "With the wedding outfit, I was adamant not to wear reds or pinks, I'd already worn a subtle and delicate peach lehenga for my engagement. So for me, it either had to be a light green/blue or a gold one. I picked gold and cream for the sangeet, so that left me with the latter. I wanted more color on the wedding day and gold, in my opinion, works better at night. After searching for months, I almost got my lehenga custom made from Anita Dongre (hands down my favorite designer) but when I tried on this seafoam stunner at Sabyasachi, I knew it was the one!" This palatial royal wedding captured by Beginnings For You was nothing short of cultural sophistication and I have a whole collection of photos waiting for you in the gallery! 

One last stop with the reception party coming right up!
