Welcome to Maharani Weddings

When Nitika & Chip decided to celebrate their love, they knew their wedding had to be as unique and vibrant as their journey together. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Asheville, NC, this wedding was the perfect blend of two cultures, two families, and two days of pure joy from the serene elegance of Chestnut Ridge, where they said, "I do."

The first day kicked off with a beautiful Christian ceremony, where Nitika looked stunning in a white gown, and Chip wore a sharp suit that made him look like he'd stepped straight out of a movie. From the heartfelt vows to the surprise Sangeet that followed, the night was a riot of color, music, and dance, setting the tone for the festivities. A special shoutout goes to the incredible team at "I Do" Asheville Weddings, the masterminds behind this magical celebration's flawless planning and design. As Platinum Guide members, their expertise and attention to detail shone through every moment, from the seamless transition between the Christian and Hindu ceremonies to the fun-filled reception with everyone talking. If you're looking for a unique and impeccably organized wedding, this is the dream team to make it happen! The floral arrangements and intricate details by Vikwabs Decor Design perfectly complemented the fusion theme, adding a magical touch to the festivities. 

On day two, things got wild. Chip's grand entrance was the stuff of Bollywood dreams. And yes, the turban ceremony? An absolute hit. Seeing Chip transformed into a regal groom for the Hindu ceremony made for a perfect moment, and plenty of amazing shots from Natasha Dale Photography. Now, let's talk about the reception. Forget your standard dance floor and cake-cutting routine—Nitika & Chip went above and beyond. The Restoration Hotel became a fun zone with bowling lanes, pool tables, and arcade games. Who knew weddings could be this fun? Their guests were entertained at every turn, and Martin Wedding Film captured the playful energy perfectly.

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
One of our friends owns a lifestyle clothing brand and asked us months ago if we could model some of his merchandise in a photo shoot. So we agreed; on the day of, his friend told us I was going to start creating and editing videos and start my own content creation company on the side. Which was actually very believable, so he said if you guys don’t mind, I can use you guys to make a promo video. I still didn’t think anything of it. So we went to downtown LA, and he followed around all day and shot content of us on a “date,” etc. Towards the end of the day, he said I got some great content. I think it would be perfect if we wrap it up with a couple of shots of you two at the beach; my husband and his friend had an entire staged conversation in the car, deciding where to go and whatnot, and I totally believed it all. Once we got to Malibu, we started walking down the beach, and behind a little cliff, I walked into an entire setup of his proposal that he and my friends coordinated. They were all in on it; they even posted fake stories about being out of town, so I wouldn’t think anything was up. (See video for details) It was absolutely magical!

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
Before I even started my selection process, I knew my wedding lehenga had to be one of my favorite designers, either Sabyasachi or Manish Malhotra. I flew to New York with both of my maid of honor and went to Sabya's New York location. Sadly, they only had two wedding options to choose from, and none of them spoke to me. Plus because I knew i was going to be getting married by the beach I knew I wanted a lighter color. So i came home and started doing my research I fell in love with the paste; green color I saw on a model in Manish Malhotras page. I contacted them online and the rest was history, They were able to make adjustments to create the wedding Lehanga of my dreams. Ultimately, I ended up with the perfect Manish Malhotra piece.

Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
My best friends walked me to the aisle under a 'phool chadar' that my maid of honor handmade, under a veil that my best friend's mom is hand-made. My entrance to the wedding was so powerful it felt like time had stopped as I was walking out. The sky was perfect, and the song we used was perfect. My best friend holding the chadar to see me off was extremely powerful.

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
Dear future brides, this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. All the emotions, stress, and joy you feel right now, you will remember for a lifetime. I know it’s hard not to stress over the little details to make sure your visions come to life exactly the way you pictured, but I promise you when it’s all over, all you will remember are the emotions you felt during this time. So, if I can leave you with anything, I would say, enjoy this time and be truly present so that later in life, you can reflect on how truly precious this time in your life really is.

This perfect blend of tradition made every intimate moment feel like a scene from a love story.

If the couple's love could be summarized in one word, it would be "indestructible"—which fittingly ties back to the groom's name. This NYC-based RN (Ami) and Emergency Medicine Physician (Avi) have a bond forged in an indestructible friendship, evident in every aspect of their big day. 
Ami & Avi kicked off their epic wedding festivities with a waterfront welcome party in Waldorf Astoria Orlando, and what a scene it was! Picture this: shimmering waters, fusion hors d'oeuvres being passed around, and the crowd sipping custom cocktails in anticipation of the grand entrance. Ami, dressed in a dreamy Gaurav Gupta creation, turned heads with her ethereal look, while Avi complemented her effortlessly with his dapper style. And as they say, it was the calm before the storm—a three-day storm of celebrations, each with its unique twist. 

The wedding ceremony itself was nothing short of whimsical. Ami walked down the aisle, draped in Seema Gujral's finest, as soft pink decor—curated to perfection by Prashe Decor—set the stage for a romantic, intimate atmosphere. The theme was gentle, feminine, and oh-so-pretty. One couldn't help but feel transported to an enchanted garden as the couple exchanged vows under a floral-adorned mandap, seamlessly blending modern elegance with traditional grandeur. 

But that's not where the party ended. Fast forward to the evening: enter "The Art of Us"—their spectacular reception that showcased bold, dramatic aesthetics, perfectly mirroring Ami & Avi's vibrant personalities. This art-themed reception was decked with eclectic lighting by Trifecta Event Production, adding that 'wow' factor to an already epic venue. The dance floor was lit by DJ Juicy & DJ DP One, who knew how to keep the energy levels sky-high. 

What's a wedding without a jaw-dropping first dance? Under the golden glow of chandeliers, Ami & Avi took to the floor for their first dance, and, well, let's say... moves were served, tears were shed, and memories were made. The talented Marlies Hartmann beautifully captured the photography for Ami & Avi's wedding. Every breathtaking moment, from the soft romance of the ceremony to the bold drama of the reception, was immortalized through their incredible eye for detail. As Dream Light Visuals captured every twirl and dip on camera, we wondered if this was a movie and when the credits would roll. 

From the intricate Mehndi by Henna Allure that reflected their journey together to the fusion menu served by CGA Events & Gaurav Anand that represented their love for travel and exploration, every detail was thoughtfully crafted to tell their story.

A celebration filled with love, and joyous moments, capturing the essence of a perfect wedding.
