Welcome to Maharani Weddings

We've arrived at the end of the day, but it's definitely just the beginning of the rest of their lives for our newlyweds. As Mita Events puts the fabulous finishing touches on the reception floral and decor, our happy couple met up with Joseph Pascua Photography to take some unforgettably stunning reception portraits. This Indian bride looks like a million bucks in her sheer, royal blue and gold open shirt lengha, and her hair and makeup by Laenka by Myrium are picture perfect. The groom is a dapper dan in his light grey suit, playful polka dot socks and coordinating bow tie. In short, these two look phenomenal! Thanks to entertainment by AVL 123, the party venue is ready for the celebrating to begin, so head to the full gallery to check out the complete details from this reception, including an amazing spread by Madubhan Indian Cuisine.

See you gals tomorrow!

Today's South Asian wedding is about to really get official with a gorgeous and intimate ceremony at the Palm Event Center. This romantic setting is complete with mood lighting and a beautiful mandap all aglow. It's contemporary and cozy all at once, and I absolutely love it! The warm, vibrant colors from the bride and groom's outfits, as well as from the vivid decor, really add all of the hues needed to brighten up the venue. Now that this happy couple have exchanged jai malas and said their I dos, it's time for them to transition into their reception fashions and meet up with Joseph Pascua Photography once more for a post-ceremony portrait session to remember. Before we get into the after party details, make sure you check out more from this event in the full gallery.

The bride on meeting her groom:

"I met him at a job interview for a pharmacy manager position, at his pharmacy in the city. We knew within weeks that we wanted to be with each other. There was a certain unknown chemistry we had. It was destined."

On his proposal:

"January 1st is when we got engaged. We were at his condo, snowing and cold in Chicago, but we were in front of a fire and that's how we got engaged. It was a matter of just the ring, we already knew we were going to get married."

On her wedding style:

"I wanted it to be grand, memorable and unique. I like to make a statement and I want things to be different. There was a lot of funk but also classy and traditional at times."

On what she enjoyed most about wedding planning:

"I got to know my husband better."

On choosing her lengha:

"I designed all of my outfits...from picking fabric, stones, thread..everything..I also did both parents and all siblings..and bride parties."

On her favorite wedding day moment:

"Everyone had a blast..and that's what we wanted. We would tell our parents were proud, us being the first in the family getting married from both sides. We made them happy and couldn't be thrilled ourselves."

On her hair and makeup:

"I researched many hair styles, mixed and matched, and found 5 that worked for me."

On help from friends and family:

"My parents especially my mom was dedicated to making my dreams come true with the wedding."

About miscellaneous details:

"I ordered special mehendi candles - had our names on them. We had an amazing dessert bar. Each event - there was party favor given. We had a mandap made and rushed to the USA for us. Jewelry along with many things for the wedding were jodha akbar theme, we wanted the royal, palace feel. And that went down not only to the clothes but also the jewelry.
I am still on my honeymoon so if there is anything else you need please let me know I am writing as much as I can with limited internet access. Also - our engagement trailer is one to see!!"

We still have one more wedding film coming up, so stick around!
