Welcome to Maharani Weddings

Welcome back everyone! We’re in Naperville, IL reliving Jhankar and Arpit’s wondrous ceremony bash at the Chicago Marriott Naperville, and we must say, everything just gleamed! Shaadi Creations doused the indoor space in varying hues of gold and coral, which brought a spectacular sparkle of glam to the soiree. Jhankar dazzled in a deep pink lehenga with golden embroidery all over the sparkling bodice and dupatta. Makeup by Mehwish Khalid gussied up our Maharani with a sleek bun and a rose lip to make her bridal look pop under the magnificent mandap. In a golden sherwani, Arpit coordinated perfectly with his lovely bride, and the two dazzled their guests as they took their sacred vows. The newlyweds bounded from the stage as their loved ones cheered in delight at the newly pronounced husband and wife! Bonphotage captured all the joy, along with some incredible portraits of the couple outdoors after their gorgeous ceremony. Check out all the photos in the full gallery.

All the reception fun coming right up!

There is something about Gujarati weddings that makes us delirious with joy. It’s probably because of the beautiful culture, traditions, and rituals evident in every magical moment. Add in a gorg couple, shimmering fashions, and ornate decor, and we have a total treat for the senses. Today, we join Jhankar and Arpit in Naperville, IL for their Indian soiree. Shaadi Creations decorated the wedding events with a contemporary twist, and Bonphotage seriously left us wanting more after we saw the stellar photographs. The blissful summer ceremony was hosted at the Chicago Marriott Naperville, a magnificent hotel that was the perfect blend of modern sophistication and decadent vibes. Beautiful Jhankar slipped into a classic lehenga with plenty of golden embellishments. She completed her look with an exquisite golden choker set and maang tikka. Makeup by Mehwish Khalid dolled her up with a dewy matte glow, and styled her hair in a sleek, pulled-back low bun, adding to her bridal radiance. Jhankar and Arpit met for their precious first look, and we were swooning over the love radiating from this adorable duo on the lush grounds of the Chicago Marriott Naperville. Head to the full gallery of photos from this stunning soiree captured by Bonphotage.

Welcome back to the last installment of Jennifer and Anup’s wedding bash! For her bridal wear the Bride most certainly wanted to channel her inner Queen and she succeeded admirably. I am absolutely in love with Jennifer’s gold lengha with a blush of pink peeking through. A midriff top that glittered with ambiance was the perfect compliment to an ivory white net dupatta. Top that off with shiny locks and a pink and green floral headdress, and we are feeling some major bridal inspo! The ballroom at The Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center was dripping with fantasy sensation decorated by the talented team at Suhaag Garden. When Maharani Jennifer and Anup sat down with Suhaag Garden to plan out the decor for their reception there was one factor that both the bride and groom knew they needed to incorporate - Lord of the Rings. Garden-esque decor, table names from cities in Lord of the Rings, a gorgeous One Ring cake, right down to Hobbit inspired fonts set the theme of the night. Volcanik Entertainment rocked the dance floor with Aashirwad Indian Restaurant exciting the palates of hungry guests. Amita S. Photography has forever memorialized this grandeur of an event and you can see all the photos hanging out in the gallery!

That’s it folks! See you tomorrow!

We return back to The Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center for Jennifer and Anup’s grand bash and we have to admit that every image captured by Amita S. Photography has our hearts in our eyes. Jennifer started off her big day with bridal prep. Purchasing her outfits from Amara Couture and hand selecting jewelry from Kiaan Jewelers was the first step. Hair and makeup by Michele Renee Studio was one of the most crucial factors of the bride. We all know if the bride looks good, everybody is happy! The bride wanted the ultimate in South Asian flair and her long locks were adorned with white flowers. On her head rest a golden headpiece with an oversized tikka which was the perfect compliment to her three(!) necklaces and sparkling bangles. Henna by Tejal Henna polished off the look. Suhaag Garden bathed the garden area of the venue in pure luxury. A towering mandap was the most treasured decor of the decor. The ceiling of the ensemble housed a gorgeous ring of posies accompanied by hanging blooms. After the ceremony the bride and groom took to a swinging chair covered in marigolds where they were blessed by guests. Relive Jennifer and Anup’s big day with all the memories captured by Amita S. Photography in the gallery!

Every time we wrap up an Indian wedding here at Maharani Weddings our hearts overfilled with joy. We often have to pinch ourselves because on a daily basis we get to explore vast new lands, attend creative garbas, and gander at the most picturesque Indian weddings. Today’s wedding celebrating Jennifer and Anup most definitely has made our jaws drop and tears were shed. As every bride knows, the biggest impact on your big day is starting to create the ultimate deal team. The Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center, as a standalone, is gorgeous as it is. But, add the magic touch of Suhaag Garden and you have India right smack in the middle of Florida. The outdoor patio area was a cornucopia of colors and tents with multiple, multifaceted gazebos, an array of stringed lights, and a makeshift street truck serving as the biggest elements of the decor. Guests danced the night away under a fistful of stars, kicking off the grand events to come. We have all the picture perfect images captured by Amita S. Photography awaiting in the gallery!
