Welcome to Maharani Weddings

Hello, ladies! It's Friday, and there is no better way to prepare for the weekend than with a new love story! And we are sure that you are going to love Dina & Naveen's fusion wedding celebration because our hearts exploded with joy when we took a glance at the photos captured by the talented team from Studio KSD, and we couldn't wait to share them with you. So let's head over to the Chateau La Mer to enjoy this beautiful wedding together! Today's feature overflows with all the things we love: elegance, tradition, joy, fashion, and above all, lots of bliss. It was high time for these lovebirds to tie to knot, and their joyful guests couldn't wait another minute to see Dina & Naveen finally become husband and wife! And coordinating a wedding event of this caliber required tons of expertise; that is why Dina & Naveen decided to bring Royal Charms Inc. to help them create a gorgeous event with all the right trimmings. We're in awe over the mesmerizing backdrops of the ceremony and the reception, featuring golden hues and stunning red roses. But before we go any further, let's talk about our radiant bride! Maharani Dina was a vivid vision of beauty in nude pink lips, lush lashes, and a stylish hairstyle thanks to Beauty by Tamanna and MakeupByGurdeep Corp. This captivating look combined with the fashionable lenghas from Samaira Boutique and Nazranaa is just a dream come true! But wait because there is more! Dina added an extra touch of flair with sparkling jewelry from Kirni Designs' collection, which complemented perfectly with the artistic Mehndi designed by Henna by Inder. Hands down, she was the definition of beauty and elegance! For a sneak peek of all the wedding action, don't miss today's jaw-dropping gallery. It's one for the books!

Hello, Maharanis! Get ready to enjoy Hope & Farhan's wedding bash in today's Platinum Guide Blog.

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
We met in college in Seattle, WA at the University of Washington. We still reminisce on how much we would talk at Gas Works Park overlooking the skyline about everything from life to our studies. We come from very different cultural backgrounds but we have more in common than people think. For one, I’d like to think we both chose to pursue healthcare because we both have a huge heart and are passionate about solving health disparities. I always knew Farhan was the one, I gravitated toward him the moment we met and just knew he was my person; he’s always felt like home. When he proposed to me in my hometown with my family present, that was just further confirmation we were made for each other.

What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
Everything. Planning a wedding can be the most stressful or the most exciting experience, it just depends on your approach. It’s so important to keep in mind that your wedding is a memory that lasts a lifetime. So have fun picking a beautiful dress instead of the perfect one. I will always remember watching my dresses come to life and my dad walking me down the aisle in front of family. It was just a pleasure to watch the family we love and people we adore enjoy our love story.

What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
We’d like to think our guest appreciated an insight into our love story. Himmati Wedding week was filled with grand venues, colorful and elaborate décor and plenty of singing, bollywood performances and emotional speeches. Our guest got to take part in a romantic nikah, dancing fun at our mehndi and an elegant reception followed by an epic yacht afterparty.

We had the pleasure of making memories with family, and the friends who became family over the years. Our wedding was a fairytale made possible by our amazing wedding planner that I am lucky enough to call my mother-in-law. She was able to pull off a wedding only dreams are made of during a pandemic just for us to remember nothing short of an amazing time.

Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
We will never forget who was able to take part in our wedding. We had the wedding of a lifetime, unfortunately during a pandemic but fortunately surrounded by loved ones. We were blessed to have our parents by our side and his grandparents present, and that alone made our wedding perfect. As high strung as living in the moment is; planning before, reacting during and after your wedding is, it was important for us to keep in sight that our life will never be the same again so to enjoy this special time with family. You will never be just a daughter and sister or son and brother, you’re now also a wife and husband busy with life happening all around you so faster than you’d like.

Happy Friday, Maharanis! We are so glad you could join us today for the last feature of the week. Today's love tale centers on the adorable duo of Sheena & Arun. The couple brought on Joy 'n Bliss Events to help spearhead wedding planning, and the result was an Indian fusion wedding brimming with culture and sophisticated beauty. When Sheena walked down the aisle of the Haddonfield Methodist Church, guests couldn't help but gasp in delight at her radiance. And we have to take a moment to commend the gorgeous bride on her various bridal looks. Either on her wedding gown from Sposabella Bridal or her reception lengha by Nazranaa, she was always the most beautiful girl in the room! To tied it all together, she brought on the beauty mavens from Nicki Glam - Beauty and All to dazzle her up, and she was a glimmering goddess in her wedding finery. The reception at the Crowne Plaza Cherry Hill was a luxurious affair thanks to the spectacular decor put together by Exclusive Events NY. The dim lights, the beautiful placement of all the ornaments, and the upbeat melodies played by M4U Events created the perfect atmosphere to celebrate this life milestone. Hands down, this was a magical ending to an incredible day full of love and laughter. For more incredible details of this wedding, make sure to stop by today's full gallery by J’adore Love Photo & Cinema. It has all the inspiration you need to start planning the wedding of your dreams. So make sure to check it out!

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
We went to a Sixers playoff game and we talked the entire time, barely watching the game. We realized how much we had in common, how goofy we are, and how our personalities really compliment each other. I knew right then Arun was different, and this was something I wanted forever. Arun has always been my better half and my answered prayer.

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
The proposal was 100% a surprise and he got me really good. We got engaged Oct 2020 so leading up to that moment I kept asking when he was going to propose and he told me it would be a while because the ring I wanted was hard to find due to Covid. However, we were taking our engagement shoot while I had no ring and lets just say I wasn't exactly excited for these pictures. Our shoot was all over Center City Philadelphia,  (side note: Arun and I grew up in the same area, went to the same high school, college, and even loved eating at the same places...we just never met or knew we  existed until the time was right), and we got to the Philadelphia Art Museum and right when we got to the top of the steps the photographer had me look away and took a couple shots of myself. Once I turned back around Arun was on one knee. He had my family come and meet us in the city and planned the sweetest and most thoughtful after party planned with our closest friends and family. 

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.
We had a great experience working with all of our vendors and would highly recommend them in the future. I think we did a lot of social media research and when we saw things we liked we ran with it. We had a very classic and clean style and knew exactly what we were looking for!

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
All I knew was I really wanted it from Nazranaa. I absolutely loved the pieces I was seeing on their IG page and knew mine would be from there. I was able to find my Manthrokodi and Lengha at Nazranaa and once I tried them on knew it was meant to be.

What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
Our wedding was the first wedding once the Pandemic rules started to ease and our guests told us they had SO much fun. They complimented us on our DJ playing the best songs and

Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
Walking down the aisle with my parents, the first time we saw each other is always a moment we look back at. That moment was everything we built up and it was more than I could've imagined.

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
Everything will work itself out!! I stressed about so much and being a pandemic bride there's really only so much I could actually control and it really taught me a lot. At the end of it all I only cared about being with Arun and if anything didn't go as planned only Arun and I noticed. I want to add please remember to enjoy yourself and take in every moment-it really goes by in the blink of an eye.

Enjoy your weekend, and don't forget to join us on Monday for more!
