Indian Wedding Videos

If you’re a regular to Maharani Weddings, we are sure you’ve seen a bunch of heartwarming videos that hit us right in the feels, and unknowingly give butterflies in our stomachs. Well, Payal and Chintan’s wedding film by WalkOnWater Productions was all that + a little more. Forgive us for getting a little technical here, but the way these cinematographers retained some of the audio (for instance, the “oohs” and “aahs” from the crowd when they cheered during the Baraat) made us connect with the film so much! In addition, the choice of music built the anticipation of seeing Payal in her bridal attire for the first time, her walking down the aisle, and then tying the knot. The Buckhead Theater was the chosen venue for the ceremony, one that Weddings InStyle embellished with Art Deco motifs, and in varying tones of pearl white. During the Baraat, all the women put on masquerades, which looked super fun and cute! The page boys in their matching blue kurtas, and flower girls in purple and gold lehengas, walked down the aisle holding some adorable signs (don’t miss that part when you watch the video!) We got our first glimpse of the mandap at this point, which looked like a palatial mansion from a movie set! Off white curtains with fringed latkans (tassels) were draped between the pillars, both finished with gold accents and embroidery. The main stage backdrop featured stunning organza drapes with detailed mirror work borders. Payal then made her way to the mandap in a traditional orange-red georgette lehenga, and a tulle dupatta draped like a veil. Erica Bogart Beauty primped our Maharani’s makeup with a coral, matte finish, with bindis all along her brow line, accentuating her statement matha patti. The two were then happily united in nuptial bliss, and jetted off to Hyatt Regency Atlanta for the reception, in a festooned car that read “Ten Years in the Making." Just like the ceremony, the soiree setup looked like an elegant, royal fête. Shades of blue juxtaposed with antique gold made for a visual treat, and the real show-stealer was the stage decor: paneled, damask columns separated framed displays of candles and flowers, and a stunning gold sofa seated the newly weds. Payal donned an embroidered floor-length in midnight blue, while Chintan offset all the blue in a grey suit. Cafe Bombay catered the delicacies of choice and pleased everyone’s palates, while Indaglow Productions had the guests dancing the night away with their dancey music!

Literally and thematically, Meet & Disha’s wedding bash reminded us that we are surrounded by holiday cheer! Preach Art brought this England and US long distance love story to life through a heartwarming wedding trailer, giving us insights into the how-we-met story through a tete-a-tete with the Meet and Disha. We learned through one of the conversations it was Meet’s British accent that when Disha heard over the phone, that made her go “oh boy…dang!” How cute! Their celebrations included a Garba, Sangeet, the ceremony, and reception. The pre-wedding events were like gorgeous Gujarati galas! For the Sangeet, Indian Cultural Center was festooned with colorful, ethnic umbrellas suspended from the ceiling, with splashes of colors because of the Dandiya sticks a
nd the outfits. The couple was dressed in pretty pastel ensembles, in hues of mint and blush pink. The ceremony exuded a festive vibe, with Disha in a traditional red lengha paired with an ornate green blouse, and Meet in a red and gold Sherwani pairing. We loved how Preach Art captured the joy on Meet’s face when he danced away during the Baraat orchestrated by JP Entertainment! Dharma Karma styled our Maharani’s hair in a sleek, pulled-back bun, gave her cheeks a rosy glow, and a bold red lip. The decor brought in a whiff of holiday merriment as well! Nirali Decor enveloped Luciens Manor with towering gathered pastel yellow drapes, and set up an exquisite muted yellow canopy-style mandap with crystal garlands and red flowers. The segue into the reception was creative brilliance by Preach Art, where a neon glow glass was attached to the camera lens, so it was like watching everyone dance through these funky glasses! It looked like the newly weds and their guests didn’t take their dancing shoes off even for a second, thanks to the beats by the DJs from JP Entertainment. Disha gleamed in a gold, stone-embroidered jacket worn over her gold lehenga. All the gold from the outfits, table linens, and the glint from the chandeliers were perfectly offset by the blue lighting in the ballroom at Luciens Manor. This delightful wedding trailer came to a close with a slow motion shot of the couple waltzing and looking so in love, we could cry!

You’ve got to hit play on one of the most romantic, and well-shot wedding trailers we have come across! For more such cinematic marvels, return to the blog tomorrow!

We were still reveling in the gorgeous photos of Puloma and Michael by Mari Harsan Studios when they sent across this spectacular wedding film! Beautifully orchestrated shots, cinematic edits, and a great eye for detail were key elements of this film. We were greeted with lovely shots of Puloma and Michael getting ready, and Mari Harsan Studios offered generous insights into the couple’s ensembles, her trousseau trinkets, and his sparkling mojaris and sehra. We then transitioned to the beautiful Hyatt Regency Reston, which Shagun Weddings decked up in metallics, multiple hues of white, and dashes of red. The traditional mandap featured eight antique gold pillars (four on each side), held together by ornate square walls. Planet DJ Productions planned and executed a joyous Baraat for Michael, who seemed so very elated in a festive white and silver sherwani. Puloma and Michael walked down an aisle adorned with gold drapes, and white and red bouquets. A customary Bengali ceremony was supplemented by delicacies from Indique Catering, headed by the world class chef KN Vinod. Through the course of the wedding, we saw glimpses of a romantic photo shoot of the couple from their reception, which was yet another spectacle! Swapping the cream and gold mandap chairs for a splendid gold lovese at with, and violet drapes with metallic accents replaced the reds, Shagun Weddings made Hyatt Regency Reston reception-ready. From the looks of it, Puloma and Michael had an outfit change during the reception, going from Indian to cocktail. For the dancing galore, Puloma twirled in her lehenga, an orange-pink pairing, and we loved Michael’s Indo-western black Tarun Tahiliani bandhgala. The Beautique by Sapna did a fabulous job making sure Puloma’s hair and makeup worked for both her looks. Puloma slipped into a cream, beaded Gaurav Gupta cocktail dress, while her beau donned a grey suit accessorized with a cutesy floral bow tie. Planet DJ Productions kept the entertainment quotient up with their high-energy beats!

We are often overwhelmed by the elaborate details alone, but this time, it was the video that completely swept us off! Punya & Ravi’s film by the very skilled Tall Productions was spot-on in terms of timing, locations, expressions, and just the perfect juxtaposition of music and slow-mo shots! That wouldn’t be possible without the artistic work of Mandap Creations and Johanna Terry Events who, for the engagement, turned Narin’s Bombay Brasserie into a red-and-gold extravaganza. Red Lotus Henna Company provided all the mehndi services on the night before the engagement ceremony. A Lord Ganesha motif made from red flowers adorned the stunning sequin gathered white backdrop, over which red tulle with shiny underlays were pleated and draped like curtains. We loved Punya’s au courant choice of an ombre peach and coral sari paired with a gold sequin blouse. Ravi donned a cream bandhgala with a floral printed dupioni silk vest in red. The after-party styling was turned up a notch with edgy styling, owing to the spectacular, glass-covered venue, The Astorian. Black and gold were colors of the evening. Black chiavari chairs and gold candelabras filled the space, and the savory treats from Celebrity Cupcakes and Bite Macaron were set up using mason jars at the dessert bar. Punya and Ravi’s party had the cutest displays of their photos, taking us on a journey all the way from their childhood to this momentous celebration. “We had personal touches throughout - our favorite Indian foods, a dessert bar with selections from our favorite dessert spots in Houston, a deconstructed photo-booth (aka the selfie booth), life-size cardboard cutouts of Ravi and I,” recalled Punya. She looked gorgeous in an embroidered gown from Jade by Monica and Karishma, heavily layered in blue and purple tulle waist-down. Blush and Glow enhanced her to perfection with a sleek updo and an ethereal glow. Ravi made for a suave groom in black tuxedo with accents of pink and purple accessories. In the bride-to-be's words, “the weekend culminated on Sunday night where there were speeches, games, dinner, and a ton of dancing fueled by DJ Zee - including a performance by the Rice Bhangra team we both performed on as college students.” Go ahead and hit play to dance along! 

 This amazing video was complemented by the talents at Biyani Photo. Is there a better way to wish you all a happy Hump Day? We don’t think so!

If there is such a term as “ancient luxury”, Ravina and Monesh’s fusion wedding would epitomize it! WalkOnWater Productions created a stylized concept video with a groovy background song, and we absolutely love how they incorporated romantic sequences and theatrics into the narrative. The ceremony was held in the gorgeous lakeside BAPS temple, a perfect blend of traditional grandeur and contemporary elegance, where BAPS Shayona dished out vegetarian delicacies. Weddings InStyle opted for minimalistic decor (think luxurious seating and antique candlesticks) to accentuate the architectural Art Deco interiors. Ravina wore a traditional scarlet red lehenga from Chache Di Hatti, paired with a stunning Kundan jewelry set, Monesh color-coordinated in an embroidered red sherwani and turban, from Rahul Couture.  Megha Agrawal from Aliza Babwani Makeup further highlighted Ravina's wedding glow. XHD Invites’ A-game with invitations and wedding boxes had us swooning, and Derek Wintermute Photography expertly captured all the resplendence. Luxury Lounge & Lighting lit up the #OnceUponAHanoman wedding, which featured a Baraat by the Atlanta Drum Jammerz Tassa Group. For the reception, Ravina was dressed in a white beaded gown in a mermaid cut featuring fluffy tulle at the bottom, by Winnie Couture, and a diamond set. Monesh looked spiffy in an atypical white tux finished with a bowtie from Princeton Tuxedo. Weddings InStyle put up chandeliers, garlands, hanging terrariums, and candle holders, all in crystal, while Atlanta’s Finest Flowers enhanced the chic decor with white orchids and floral centerpieces. Guests savored the cake from Celso’s Cakes and delish Indian street food from Masti. From the looks of it, they seemed pretty entertained by MC Savetrie Bachan, and danced the night away to the beats of DJ Mark D! Looks like everyone brought on the bling during the reception at the picturesque Lake Lanier Islands!

Congratulations to the lovely couple who made it through 9 years of long distance! Come back tomorrow for more wedding gorgeousness!
