Welcome to Maharani Weddings

Happy Friday! We're excited to share the charming and magical wedding of our lovely couple, Alekhya & Aakash. After a Sangeet and Garba at The Marigold, this couple chose the incredible The Legacy Castle as their ceremony and reception venue. Get comfortable and enjoy this wedding bash thoroughly orchestrated by Urvashi Mishra-Radz Events LLC. She combined style, creativity, and global trends to ensure that every aspect of this wedding was elegantly planned and executed. Wedding Design designed beautiful decors that mirrored the glamorous looks of our gorgeous Alekhya after being pampered by Payal MUA. This magnificent look would have been possible without the beautiful bright red saree draped and tied by Payal MUA. This winning combination created a dreamy look that we cannot stop seeing! And we cannot forget the splendid Mehndi design that Anuja Wala created. It was incredible! After the wedding ceremonies, there was time to celebrate the newlyweds with a vibrant reception party enlivened by MVP DJs, who owned the stage playing upbeat melodies that put everyone on their feet. If you're wondering who the mastermind behind the dancefloor wrap is, it is none other than M4U Events. This was a fully personalized dance floor with custom vinyl wrap service; Surely a service that exceeded all expectations! The only time the guests stopped dancing was to take a bite of the delicious plates that Moghul Caterers prepared for this reception! Without any doubt, this was a night to remember! Their wedding brochure was made by a dear friend's parent's paper shop, Needle In A Haystack in Dallas, and they couldn't have been happier with the result. They understood the look they were going for and matched the decor perfectly. The smiles, kisses, and good vibes were captured by Memories Studio, who witnessed the atmosphere during the celebration. Don't miss this gallery.

Tell us how you went about planning your wedding, and your overall experience with the Venues, Hair & Makeup, Outfits, Decor Theme, and all of the other important details.
It would be remiss of me not to mention our wedding planner, Urvashi, when talking about our wedding. I'm not sure how to explain it other than she knows how to get it done. From all the home events to the events at multiple venues, she executes perfectly, and our guests noticed. She was there from the beginning of wedding planning, providing contacts in India for outfit shopping, down to the last-minute details of how to take care of our guests at the baraat on a hot summer day. We couldn't have had a week-long celebration, and truly it felt like a celebration without her.
How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
I've always envisioned myself in red for the big day, and I knew that I wanted to wear a saree, so this wasn't a tough decision. Although it took ALL day in the Hyderabad heat to find the one, I can't complain because the process couldn't have been easier.
What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
People still talk about the food at our wedding ceremony to this day. We asked for both Telugu traditional lunch items and Gujarati traditional lunch items, and Moghul Caterers hit the nail on the head with this one. From the yogurt rice to the Gujarati dal, I couldn't have been happier with the quality and the variety of dishes they provided.
Anything else you want to tell us? We'd love to hear all about your other details! (jewelry, mehndi, venue, cake, bouquets, etc.)
My wedding brochure was made by a dear friend's parent's paper shop, Needle In A Haystack in Dallas, and I couldn't have been happier with the result. They understood the look I was going for and matched my decor perfectly. It felt really great to have their personal touch be a part of our big day.

Hello, Maharanis! Get ready to enjoy Khushbu & Akash's wedding in today's Platinum Guide Blog.

How did you meet your Groom, and when did you know he was "the one"?
I met my husband (Akash) through his older sister (Bhumi), who was my best friend at the time. I had known her for many years but only knew of Akash through stories. I never really got to see him much because she was married and living with her husband when we met. We stayed friends but didn't get to see each other as often because I had moved to Atlanta for college. I was very introverted and never really wanted to be social or go out and do the "college" things, but after a few years or lots of studying and working a job, I realized that I needed to push myself to be more open to new experiences and enjoy life. Right around this time, Bhumi called me and invited me to a Beyonce concert in Atlanta very last minute, and I decided to go because this would be the perfect start to my new journey plus, Beyonce is my all-time favorite artist, so it was perfect. Akash ended up coming as well, and this was the first time I started crushing on him, but I tried to play it off because I wasn't looking to be in a relationship at the time, and I also felt like he was too good of a catch and that I was way in over my head. A few weeks later, Bhumi called me and invited me on a weekend trip for her birthday. I was very tempted to decline and just take the weekend for myself, but I knew that I would never get those experiences if I didn't push myself out of my comfort zone, so I decided to say yes. Akash ended up coming on the trip as well, and apparently (according to his cousins) was flirting with me the whole weekend, though I never realized it. I knew he would be the perfect guy for me on this trip because we just connected so naturally, and it felt comfortable, and fireworks exploded at the same time. I still didn't say or do anything because I wasn't sure if he liked me. On the last day of the trip, we had our cheesy Bollywood moment when we hugged goodbye, and our keychains interlocked and tugged us back together as we were coming out of our hug. I left and got back to Atlanta when I noticed that he had texted and asked me on a lunch date. I was so upset that I didn't check my phone while I was driving because he lived about 3 hours from Atlanta. Thankfully a week later, he ended up having some job interviews in Atlanta and asked me to dinner. We went and knew that we were the ones for each other and, a week later, introduced our families and never looked back.
Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
I had told Akash that I didn't want to know anything about the proposal and that I wanted it to be a complete surprise. He definitely kept me on the edge of my seat as we had already set a wedding date, and he still hadn't proposed. Finally, when there were only seven months left before the wedding, the big day came. This worked out well for him because I had so many moments leading up to the day where I thought he was going to propose but didn't so by this day, I was more in the mindset that it was not going to happen anytime soon. It was Valentine's Day weekend, and he told me that he had planned a surprise getaway for us. He told me to go ahead and get dressed up as he had reservations for us at a fancy restaurant once we got there. He told me what to pack, and we spontaneously hit the road. I began to have some suspicions that he could propose but was not sure of any details or that it was even going to happen. We reached a cabin on the lake, and there was a steep heel down, so I told him I was just going to change into my slide while we unpacked the car and then change back for the restaurant, but he told me to keep my heels on and at this moment I had a strong suspicion that it was about to happen. He ended up helping me down the driveway and told me to wait in the front while he went to "grab the keys." A few minutes later, my sister and Bhumi (now sister-in-law) opened the front door, and that's when I knew it was happening. We all burst into tears and had our little moment before they walked me down to a spot on the deck while the sun was setting, where I watched a video Akash had put together. I made my way down the hill onto a deck on the lake where Akash was waiting for me. We had our special moment, and then I turned around and saw all of our family and friends waiting on the porch. It was the perfect celebration with our loved ones and is one of the most memorable days of my life
What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
The most enjoyable part of the planning process was getting together with family and friends to do small things here and there such as making gift bags, signing invitations, etc... It was so much fun getting together and goofing around. Watching my favorite people come together with Akash's favorite people and all have so much fun together was so nice and fulfilling. Dance practices were also one of my favorite things, as it was another way to get everyone together. Just seeing all of the love and support we had from our family and friends and watching how excited they were to be a part of this process was amazing.
Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
The best advice I got from everyone was not to stress about the small things and that no one is going to know that something didn't go as planned if you never tell anyone. Any big event is bound to have some things that don't go exactly as you planned but don't allow this to ruin your big day because, at the end of the day, the purpose of a wedding is for you to create memories with your lifelong partner, family, and friends that you will cherish for the rest of your life. Looking back, those things that didn't go as you planned will be minuscule to the joy you will have from your big day.
And that's a wrap for today, lovely Maharanis. I'll see you tomorrow for the next grand romance!

Hi, beautiful Maharanis! If you were looking for inspiration, you've come to the right place! Meera & Sagar's big wedding affair packs everything we love and much more! They wanted a destination wedding and set their eyes on Marriott Phoenix Resort Tempe at The Buttes. The couple wished to have an event outside for their dream destination wedding, so Meera had her Grah Shanti at the top of the rock while Sagar had his in the ballroom. We were lost in a mesmerizing haze of delight over the heavenly decor Inner Space Events crafted for this wedding ceremony. They raised the bar and exceeded all expectations, matching the venue's elegance with a captivating scenery so impressive that we were speechless. This wedding celebration could not have been possible without Epic Everlasting Events. This talented and highly experienced team took care of the planning and execution of the wedding bash and delivered utter perfection! Meera said, "I do," looking like a princess dressed in a fashionable yet traditional lengha after being fully glamorized by Ieshia. After the beautiful ceremony, the couple celebrated this momentous occasion and danced the night away at the Marriott Phoenix Resort Tempe at The Buttes with their closest friends and family to the beats of the award-winning, full-service event production company M4U Events. They are about enthusiasm, passion, professionalism, and the perfect ally for your event!
