Indian Wedding Videos

It's reel day, loves! We have a beautiful day for a beautiful reel! Long story short, Jenika and Shivam's parents served as marriage scouts and matchmakers. The duo met in the USA, and sparks flew! They decided to take the plunge and planned a big traditional Gujarati wedding involving more than 300 guests! Wedding expert Derek Wintermute Photography waved a series of lovely clips of their union that turned into a beautiful highlight reel. Four days of traditions, family, and dance, including a ceremony and reception at the luxury Westin Atlanta Perimeter North were part of the elaborate affair. Utopian Events designed the decor for the main days creating the perfect ambiance for both events. The aisle lit up with candles added a touch of romance and infused the ceremony spot with soft pink shades and blooms. Jenika also walked the wedding aisle in pink! She planned a spectacular look along with Shiya's Glamour, who draped her AsoPalav bridal ensemble and transformed her into a real-life Maharani using their expert skills. Shivam also made a striking statement decked in a Jade Blue pastel pink Sherwani and a Nordstrom blue suit for his reception. A night bash followed the wedding. Here, Jenika twirled in a silver lehenga and danced the night away with Shivam to DJ Bobby's music beat. At the same time, the couple's closest family and friends surprised them with dance performances! Watch these special moments captured frame by frame in the reel below.

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.
Our decor theme was floral with pink and white flowers. It gave off a fresh frangrance and overall positive vibe inside the ballroom.
How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?

What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
The something that  tied our whole wedding week together. Seeing everyone's faces up and enjoying themselves. We have never had so much fun!
What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
They enjoyed the overall vibe the decorations created and delicious food at all the events. The dance floor at the reception was also very active and the crowd was engaged with all the performances by friends and family.
Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
When my husband and I exchanged garlands and we were doing our pheras.
Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
Enjoy the process as it is truly a lifetime experience.

Good morning, Maharanis! It is reel day, and we are delighted to release the beautiful highlight video of Nija and Ketan's elegant nuptials in New Jersey. The pair asked Studio KSD to capture and film their best wedding moments, and the stunning visuals are pure magic! I am sure this film will take your breath away. Indian culture and festivities came together at The Merion, and their unique Skylight Ballroom was the setting for their grand ceremony. Natural light bathed the wedding rituals thanks to the majestic glass dome that crowned the open round mandap created by All Event Decorators. After the I do's, Nija and Ketan concluded their wedding celebrations with an upscale reception party enlivened by DJ BK from Luxe Event Group from Luxe Event Group, during which their dearest and nearest took the mic and delivered touching toasts and speeches for the newlyweds! EC Spin 360 entertained the guests and created memories with a 360 selfie booth while Mr. Paanwala provided a delicious Paan station for the partygoers! I absolutely adore the couple's fashion. Nija was the ultimate Maharani thanks to the glam touch of Beauty by Jasbina and Mehndi artists Aneeta Nashad. She flaunted a show-stopping floral ensemble and opted for an elegant white lehenga with sparkly work for her final event. While Ketan also went for a white-off Sherwani suit that he completed with a mint scarf for the ceremony and looked sharp in a tuxedo from Nazranaa at the reception. The entire soiree was planned without a worry, thanks to Posh Kreations, who created a personalized celebration and masterfully executed all the details from start to end! Check the reel below and let Nija and Ketan's film inspire your wedding day!

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
We met the new traditional way. Ketan actually knew I was the one first and told me so during one of our first dates. From the very beginning, we just “clicked” and on our first date, we talked for literal hours! He’s always so open, honest, and steady! I knew he was the one because of how safe and comfortable he made me feel. I can be as goofy as I want and he’s right there with me!
Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
It was during the pandemic, so he told me to dress up and come over for a dinner. Smart move because I had been WFH and my normal attire would have been leggings and a sweatshirt! When I came over, he took me out to the back patio and it was so beautifully decorated with candles and flower petals everywhere! My favorite song was playing too when we walked out and our closest friends and family were hiding on the side. After he proposed, they all shouted congratulations and we had champagne and celebrated from a distance since it was early in the pandemic. It was such a wonderful moment and one that I will cherish forever!
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 got married at The Merion in the skylight ballroom! I have loved that ballroom since I was a guest at a wedding there many years ago and always had it in the back of my mind. Ketan and I went to go see it and he instantly fell in love with it too! Once that was finalized, our decor and clothing all revolved around that. I knew I wanted an outdoor rose garden theme for the wedding to complement the beautiful dome in the ballroom. For the evening, I always envisioned an elegant black tie cocktail theme and we added greenery and candles to tie in both the wedding and reception together. Our decorator did such an amazing job with both!
How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
I knew from the beginning that I didn’t want a traditional red dress. Since we were having a rose garden theme wedding, I wanted something that would complement it. We found my dress at the last shop and it was perfect! White with all the spring/summer floral colors. We decided to coordinate both families' outfits, with my family in light pink and Ketan’s family in light green. So many guests complimented us on how well the coordination was and how beautiful the whole family looked together!

Maharanis! We unveiled Nija and Ketan's wedding photos in our Main Blog not long ago! Just click here to peruse this charming fête.

Most high school crushes don't last, but Aanchal and Neel is a love story that stands the test of time. They met while Aanchal was a Freshman and Neel was a Sophomore and have been together since then! After a surprise flash mob proposal and Covid pushing their wedding date almost a year later, the wait finally culminated in a big wedding spree! Aananya by ZK helped the couple through the entire process and together created every last detail for each event following the couple's vision. These details included the splendid decor Liz Decorations created for the outdoor ceremony. The plethora of pretty hues and gorgeous flowers contributed to the space's spring and bright feeling. Raja Neel surprised the crowd by riding one of the stunning white horses of Olde Towne Carriages for his Baraat. At the same time, Aanchal amazed her Raja and her guests, looking like an authentic Maharani. An exquisite red lehenga and a beautiful flower bun by Hair by Mim comprised her trousseau, while a bespoke bridal mehndi by Bhavna's Henna embellished her arms and feet! She picked an elegant lehenga set in her favorite color for her reception, and Malia's Makeup Artistry elevated the look with flawless makeup! At the culmination of their extravaganza at Lansdowne Resort & Spa, the couple treated their guests to a beautiful confection specially created for the occasion by Girl Meets Cake and entertained the partygoers with Platinum Roadshow. At the same time, SVPDJ added some shine to the decor with their fabulous lighting! Villatoro Productions did an extraordinary job filming all the steps that led these two to their big day, and we couldn't hold ourselves from sharing this charming highlight film! Click below and get inspired! 

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
My husband and I met when we were in high school. I was a Freshman and he was a Sophomore. We were both in the same Spanish class and our teacher assigned our seats to be next to each other because she said “she saw the spark”. We began dating the following semester and have been together now for 12 years! I knew he was the one when he was there for me through thick and thin and stuck around through it all.
Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
My older sister told me her fiancé had an award ceremony in DC that we all were going to attend. The weekend before the “award ceremony”, my mom, 2 sisters, and I went shopping for our outfits. The day of the proposal, my family and I got ready together and we headed to the Georgetown waterfront. As I was walking down the beautiful steps of the waterfront I reflected on how beautiful of a day it was and how gorgeous the water looked. As I made my way around the fountain and up the stairs closer to the water, I see a group of people in a formation. Next thing I know, music plays and a flash mob is occurring right before my eyes. Midway into the performance my then soon-to-be fiancé made his way from the back of the group to the front and at the end of the amazing dance, he took my hand, brought me by the water, and popped the question in front of our closest family and friends!
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.
It was difficult planning a wedding during Covid and having to postpone our plans. A lot of my shopping was done online, including dresses, jewelry, and accessories. Luckily we have a dream team of vendors that we used previously for our engagement party, so we wanted to keep with the same team for the most part for the wedding! We also worked with Saumil Parikh from SVP Entertainment, who is a close family friend, and he guided us through a lot of the process.
How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
Pinterest was my savior! I was able to pick up on colors and styles that really suited my personality and found a great vendor through Etsy to buy my wedding dress. I knew I wanted to go traditional red for the ceremony and had to throw in teal at some point because it’s my favorite color! So I chose a bold teal to wear for the reception.
What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
The most enjoyable part was by far being able to plan with my best friend of a husband! He was not a laid back groom, he made sure to involve himself and give his opinions! Which worked really well for me because I’m so indecisive. He also used to DJ and event plan so he brought a lot of great thoughts to the planning process. Aside from that I’d have to say I individually loved planning out the decor and making my sketches of each event come to life through the colors we chose!
What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
I think they really loved how we made each event OURS. We adapted traditions to what represented us and we involved our wedding party who we love so much to really be apart of our wedding events. I think that brought a wholesome feeling that really filled the room.
Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
The first looks! I had 3 first looks, first with the groomsmen, then with the rest of the wedding party and family, and finally with my husband to be. The momentum grew perfectly leading up to the most awaited moment of my life, to see my groom see me as his bride. It was such a unique thing we did and I loved that it played out that way.
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.
We used Liz Decorations for all of our decor and she went above and beyond! We really wanted each event to have a different look and feel from the other. We wanted the mehendi to be fun and vibrant, while the garba having a traditional and musical feel to it. We wanted the ceremony to have a romantic simpler look with a contrast of the reception to be grand and elegant. And Liz executed all of these visions so beautifully!
Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
Plan ahead as much as you can and make to do lists! You can’t account for everything, but you don’t want to feel stressed out leading up to your big day (because the nerves will kick in anyway!). We have a lot of time to plan, especially with postponing our wedding date. I know that won’t be the case for every bride and groom, so use the time that you have efficiently by making monthly to do tasks. Also, definitely hire a wedding day coordinator! This literally saved my life and I could not be more thankful for Aananya!
To all the brides- don’t forget to keep aside moments for you and your groom to take a breath and capture what’s happening around you. It’s going to go by so fast, and you’ll want to sink it in while it’s all there in front of you.
Anything else you want to tell us? We'd love to hear all about your other details! (jewelry, mehndi, venue, cake, bouquets, etc.)
My wedding day jewelry was bought from Evotique (located in CA, but they work over video calls as well)! Our amazing cake was done by Girl Meets Cake- Misty was so lovely to work with and she really takes the feedback to make you the most delicious cakes with the best flavor combos! Bhavna’s Henna did my mehendi and she incorporated the story of us starting from high school through where we live in the DMV- her art is amazing! We are so thankful for all of our vendors to get us through the highs and lows of wedding planning!

Welcome to another fabulous wedding story, loves! Today we unveiled another masterpiece by the talented wedding storyteller Studio KSD. This time they delivered the beautiful highlight video of Nisha and Dhrumil's union. All the romance, the love, and the joy of two families coming together as one surrounded by pure elegance and translated into a magnificent visual testament. The Philly couple picked The Logan Philadelphia Curio Collection by Hilton to host their big days. With its sprawling spaces, it was just the ideal spot for these two to tie the knot in front of a big crowd of family and friends. The outdoor ceremony took place in the peaceful courtyard where the decor team of Florista Decor created a charming mandap with lush flowers and sprawling greenery. What a lovely location! Timeless and regal, Maharani Nisha looked like the ultimate Maharani! She was glammed by bridal expert Beauty by Kiran Kaur LLC and got the artistic Mehendi touch of Rita Shah Mehndi Artis on her hands and feet. She created a magnificent henna design worthy of a queen that perfectly matched her queenly ceremony lehenga choli set. For her last function, this stylish bride's reception trousseau expressed her lively personality. She opted for a shimmery, sparkly blue lehenga that was perfect for the starry night she was about to live! It was officially time to start the party, and Zac Clejan played his best notes for the couple's grand entrance to complement their big night while DJ Bobby set the tone for the crowd to packed the dancefloor! Thanks again to Studio KSD for creating such a gorgeous film for this pair. We found so much inspiration! Please click on the video below and enjoy each scene.

Hello ladies! Ready for your daily dose of inspiration? I hope you do because we have Shalini and Neil's incredible wedding highlight video captured by Avec Lumiere Productions. This California-based couple carefully planned with the help of Events by Sep. All the events that formed these nuptials displayed unique themes and elegant decors that turned into authentic feasts for the eyes! I love the cherry blossom backdrop of their pre-wedding functions and the pink Sangeet theme. So romantic! The couple chose the great Delta Hotels by Marriott as the location for their dream wedding. Here, Raja Neil started their final event with an energetic Baraat procession entering the ceremony to the beat of Fusion Sounds. After a fun Varmala ceremony, the wedding rituals took place under a stunning acrylic mandap created by Kismet Event Design. The decor crew showed off his talent by creating a dazzling white and gold scenery that was opulent yet elegant. They truly gave this two a decor they will never forget. The evening quickly transitioned into a magical night with mesmerizing violet lightning designed by Fusion Sounds. They also created a perfect music set that took the crowd into a dance frenzy that lasted all night! Remember ladies, hit play on this beautiful highlight film by Avec Lumiere Productions. You won't regret it.

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
I knew he was the one when I first came down to Pittsburgh only to have a delayed flight! I was supposed to come in at 6 pm and instead came home at midnight. When I walked in he had this whole dinner at home set up, with plates and red napkins and candles! He even cooked the perfect meal!
Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
What I thought would be a fancy lunch date on top of the mountain turned out to be the man of my dreams popping the question! Somehow he got me dressed up, got my nails done, and got to on a gondola without any suspicion. When he got to the location on the top, I saw the proposal set up, and I said to him, "Oh, look, someone is getting proposed to; we can't go there" I tried to stop him many many times from going closer and closer to the site. It clicked to me when the violist started playing the Wada Raha song that this proposal was for me! He proposed, and everyone around the site cheered, and then 5 mins later our whole family showed up! Literally all of them from all over the states!

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.
I started planning in the middle of COVID, thinking it would go away. But all of my vendors were really nice and willing to work with me. We originally had a July date, but due to restrictions in other countries, we had to push back our date to December. Our vendors were flexible in making the change without any issues. I started off booking my make-up artist Drea first! We only had our date at this point. Then I went on to book my venue and wedding planner at the same time. The rest fell in place one by one!
How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
This was really hard since I was not able to go to India and new outfits were not coming to the states. I knew I wanted to wear red. The first store we went to was Frontier in LA. I tried on a few but really fell in love with one of them. But I knew I should try more when I went to NY and NJ. So a few months later I went around and tried on more, sometimes I tried them on just to entertain myself and see if I liked anything I wore! But all I could think of was that outfit I really liked. The week after I told my mom to just go purchase the one I really liked and she face timed me and we bought it!
I also wanted to wear my mom's wedding sari or try to incorporate it into my outfit somehow! The final look didn't come together till the week before but I decide to wear it with a white choli as my baarat outfit. This was super special because my mom and I did a little welcome dance as well.
What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
They all said they loved the food and coming to California even though the weather wasn't the best!
Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
Every time I look at our highlight video all of the memories just rush in now! I think the most fun I had was during our pithi and sangeet night. We did a flash mob during the sangeet and it was the most amazing thing ever that came together!
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.
Pithi: The theme for this event was Capri/lemon. The team did an amazing job making the ganpathi in various blue sea items!
Satak: The idea was to go with something peaceful and serenity. So we decided to do a lotus in the background with cherry trees coming from the side.
Sangeet: The theme was Jaipur. I called this event Pink City Soriee on our invites.
Wedding: All white with greenery
Reception: I wanted to bring back a little bit of the proposal to bring in a full circle of this time period. We added a mountain decal on our dance floor with red and purple flowers through out the backdrop and tables.
Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
Enjoy it all! Try not to worry too much about small details and small fights with your parents. Go with the flow and enjoy it because it won't come again.
Anything else you want to tell us? We'd love to hear all about your other details! (jewelry, mehndi, venue, cake, bouquets, etc.)
