Indian Wedding Videos

The heart of Texas brought Bollywood in with a bang at this destination Indian wedding at The Grand Palladium Jamaica Resort & Spa. The venue is an ideal location - 40 minutes away from the Montego Bay airport and located beachfront facing the sparkling clear waters of the Jamaican coast. It is no wonder that every clip of this cinematic masterpiece, which felt more like a short film, was executed perfectly by Vellora Productions. Combining both a beachfront wedding with the traditional events of an Indian wedding that includes mehndi, sangeet, haldi, the ceremony and reception, is no easy feat! Maharani Roshni brought on L3 Event Services as the premier planners, who made the bride’s visions come to fruition. The rich heritage of the Indian culture shined brightly on the beachy Jamaican sands with a horse led percussion and the pulsating beats of Bollywood with Desi Junction DJ’s on the forefront. The bride donned a pink and maroon lengha while exchanging her wedding vows under an open mandap draped with vibrant red blooms by Chic Weddings Jamaica. The reception party was the perfect ending to this multiple day event where guests grabbed a tropical cocktail and danced the night away under the stars with the beats from Desi Junction DJ's. We are excited to view all the still images captured by David Anola from Vellora Productions so we can share them with you! Don’t take my word for it, hit play and enjoy!

It’s a cold, dreary day here in San Francisco. I am so ready for another beach wedding! If you are too, check out this Indian destination wedding by Erik Clausen hailing from Cancun, Mexico. See you tomorrow! 

With the calming of the ocean waters, the uncanny indulgence of room service and not having to worry about too much for a couple of days, being in Mexico is such a treat. But, wait.…is that the pounding sounds of a dhol in the distance? This could only mean one thing. An Indian destination wedding has come to town! With the unmistakable colors of a vibrant Indian wedding to the sounds of  a celebration in the air, the uncanny elements of a larger than life event never ceases to amaze us! The sacred union of Maharani Chandani and Maharaja Darshan was cinematically filmed by Dreams Gate Films and we are reeling over how gorgeous this Indian bride looked for her special day(s). Maharaja Darshan’s dhol ceremony was steered by Drums in Paradise as guests were led to a gorgeous ornate made peach and white mandap handcrafted by Zuniga Deco Designs at the prestigious Moon Palace Resort & Spa. Maharani Chandni walked down the aisle in a stunning red and gold lengha that was picture perfect for a wedding in Mexico. Hair and makeup was on point by Styling Trio Riviera Maya who added another dashing Indian bride to their growing list of clientele. On the reception night, everyone was ready for a great time for one of the last days on their trip. Chandni wore a stunning pink and gold long designer anarkali suit. Guests were treated to performances, heightening their knowledge of the culture of Maya while they dined on fine cuisine catered from the Moon Palace Resort & Spa. Destination wedding specialist Blue Petal Weddings couldn’t have planned a better event! The stills were all caught by Jonathan Cossu Photographer with Dreams Gate Films capturing all the live action.

Surely this wedding must have given you some tips on planning your own wedding! Another favorite film of ours is of Bollywood singer Benny Dayal’s Bangalore wedding by Doodle Studio Wed-Deography. You can watch it here and we will see you tomorrow!

Intimate yet familial, cozy yet extravagant, and theatric yet raw, such was the style of Nivek and Neha’s evocative wedding, filmed by Paul Ortiz Films and shot by Matei Horvath. Every detail about this wedding was executed to perfection thanks to Bobby Bhogal who was the Day of Coordinator, but it's the film that simply swept us off our feet. With the sounds of the ocean amidst the sands of Monterey Bay, Nivek and Neha tied the knot at the Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel & Spa on Del Monte Golf Course. The video opened with glimpses of private moments of the couple right before the ceremony, where Nivek made our hearts melt with a tear-jerking “you ready to start the rest of our lives?” We got to see Neha in all her bridal glory, in an embellished coral lehenga, and a matching tulle dupatta that was draped like a veil. Nivek entered on a horse, courtesy of Vintage Carriage Company, in a traditional cream sherwani and a silk turban finished with a brooch. SB Arts did a terrific job with the outdoor mandap with a havan kund, that featured white and peach drapes, matching bouquets, and regal chairs in burgundy and gold. Using classic aerial videos of the beach, Ortiz transitioned to the elegant, joyous reception at Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel & Spa On Del Monte Golf Course, once again opening with cinematic and scenic shots of the couple. The sumptuous cake was made by Layers Sensational Cakes, and Turmeric catered world-class Indian cuisine to the guests. Neha looked like the showstopper of our dreams in a sensual-meets-sassy diaphanous cream sari-gown, and Nivek, like a superstar in a flattering, well-tailored black suit. SB Arts shone through in the decor department, especially with the stage: deep purple curtains against a metallic grey backdrop and silver sequined panels. Damask prints and the words “Nivek and Neha” shadowed the ballroom and it was evident that the DJs from NorCal Event Specialists made sure that everyone had a ball! 

We sat down to ask Neha all about her big day, and here are excerpts from our talk: 

How did you meet your Raja and when did you know he was "the one"?
After I graduated law school and started working, I had a strong impulse to move to San Diego, CA. However, circumstances led me to choose staying in the Bay Area. In my late twenties, a desire to live life to the fullest lead me to follow my heart and make the move to beautiful San Diego. Nivek, on the other hand, left behind the rigours of residency and Manhattan winters for a one year regional anesthesia fellowship at UCSD. Never would we both have thought that we’d look back one day and say, “Thank you Match.com.”  A few weeks of exchanging messages and texts lead to a first date, which ended up being our “last first date” ever. When I met Nivek I realized that he was the reason that I was so drawn to move to San Diego. 

How did you choose your lengha or lenghas? Did you work with a certain designer? Did you spend hours on the internet first?
I wanted my wedding lengha and reception outfit to be different, and looked to Instagram to research the styles of different designers!  Thankfully, I found Well Groomed, Inc., who did a great job customizing both my outfits! My wedding lengha is inspired by the designer Tarun Tahiliani. I love how his designs blend a variety of colors together in such an intricate fashion. My reception saree-gown was inspired by the designer Gaurav Gupta. His designs caught my eye because they manage to fuse Indian intricacies with a western twist, while maintaining an overall elegant appeal.

Looking back, was there a really special moment that you remember from your wedding that stands out as the most magical?
It's hard to choose!! Definitely when we recited the vows we wrote for each other after we took our saat pheere are moments that Nivek and I will cherish.

Anything else you want to tell us? We'd love to hear all about your other details! 
It was really important for me to wear my mother's antique naath for the wedding ceremony. My grandmother, who had passed away many years ago, had it made. My mother wore it for her wedding, and ever since I was a little girl, I wanted to wear it for my wedding.  Wearing the naath that day made me feel as if my Nani was there by our side, showering her blessings upon us! 

We seldom require reminders about why we love weddings, but Nivek and Neha’s vows to each other sure made us realize just how precious weddings are. Come back tomorrow to indulge in wedding galore with us!

Happy Tuesday Maharanis! We hope you are enjoying the cooler weather and all of your Halloween plans are coming along nicely! You are in for a treat today as we venture to a beachside Indian Wedding in Cancun, Mexico. This wedding memory begins with a beautiful intro by the couple. Sentiments sent with love always leave me weepy eyed and overjoyed. The film in its entirety was intermingled with the bride and groom talking about their union, how they met, and how they felt right up until their beachside Indian wedding at Hotel Villa del Palmar. Planning a wedding is no easy feat, let alone an Indian destination wedding! It is a good thing Joss from Unique Weddings Cancun was there  to ease the pain of this Maharani’s back. Decorating a venue for the impressive Hotel Villa del Palmar can be a bit tricky. How do you decorate an area so beautiful? Cecilia Avellaneda from Alquima Events was tasked this job and did a beautiful job! What an impressive baraat! The groom and his groomsmen showed up in fashion on a private yacht to the venue where the groom sat on top of a majestic horse fit for a Maharaja as he made his way to meet his new wife. Sara was stunning in a gorgeous baby pink lengha cascading with hints of soft gold that paired beautifully with her beachfront wedding. Hair and makeup for this Maharani was done by Isaac Marquez. On the forefront capturing all the action is the amazing talent with Mike Cantarell Films. This posting also comes at a special time! The lovely couple six years of being with each this past weekend. Congrats on the milestone Sara and Sid! 

Each time I wrap up an Indian film shared with us by the amazing creative talents of our cinematophograpers I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the amount of commitment put forth by these beautiful souls. If you are itching for more Maharani memories, check out this film by our friend Paul from Paul Ortiz Films as he captures a beautiful and sentimental fusion wedding! See you all tomorrow darlings!

If you’re an Indian Bride seeking for ideas for your destination wedding, you have come to the right place! Nizuc Resort, in Cancun, Mexico, hosted a fusion wedding for an absolutely breathtaking Maharani. Take a moment to soak this all in. The beauty of the water, the cascades of the ocean and the sound of two families joining in unity in the name of love is the epitome of the perfect wedding. Planning a destination wedding is quite possibly one of the most stressful items on a bride's to do list! However, AaB Creates, took that stress of Linda's hands and created a ceremony any bride could appreciate. Linda looked beautiful in every outfit change and was further beautified by Alexandre Corbanezi. As you can see from the breath-taking views of the water, floral and decor was on point by one of Mexico's leading decorators, Canteiro. Finding a mehndi artist in Mexico, I would think, might be a bit impossible! But, Veronica De La Paz, specializing in international mehndi art, made the job easier for this Maharani. La Cabina Smile Booth was there for all the photo booth fun one can take and photographer, Heather Waraksa captured all the viva la Mexico memories! Guests were ushered in vehicles from Mayan Hospitality and Wedding Paper Divas provided all the stationary and invitations for this fusion wedding. From mariachi bands to international house music by DJ NVM, to live music by Visuddha Entertainment, I can honestly say that this wedding truly hit on a lot of cultural fun! Special Events Mexico ended the night with a bang! What better way to end your special moment than fireworks? Don't just take my word for it! Check out Linda and Sam's Nizuc wedding film by the renowned Mike Cantarell. I promise you will find yourself just gushing at this beautiful Bride!
