It's the day that every Maharani dreams off and wants to look the most special she'll ever looked. I'm speaking of the wedding day, of coarse! JD Arts Photography gives us a glimpse at our plus-sized bride getting all dolled up for her big day. The hair and makeup courtesy of D'Shaz Beauty Studio is a bold look. Grab even more bridal inspiration in the full gallery!

From the bride, on the hair and makeup:

"I used to do bridal mehendi and makeup for brides so I knew what I wanted. My sangeet make up, I did myself. Having friends in the industry, I left it up to them. I wanted to look like myself and not overly done up which worked out perfectly. I did decide on how my hair was to be for each outfit though."

On the fashions:

"I knew what I wanted. Maharani Weddings was a huge huge inspiration. There were many outfits I liked, but at the end I wanted to be comfortable and true to my style. So I hand-picked a few elements and designed my own outfit. My looks for the sangeet and ceremony were simple yet elegant."

The ceremony shots are straight ahead!

We're extra excited today, because industry maven Nahid Farhoud, of Wedding Elegance by Nahid, is sharing one of the most exquisite Indian weddings she's planned and designed in Southern California with us today in these sensational images captured by the talented duo of Lin & Jirsa Photography! Bride-to-be, Rasneet, is getting ready to march down the aisle and say I do to the Raja of her dreams, Sanjay, with the help of Makeup by Souad and a few of her best gal pals — and we are obsessed with all of their ensembles! Maharani Rasneet has picked out a bright pink bridal lengha with an elegant champagne-colored blouse, and her bridal party are like individual rays of sunshine in marigold anarkalis with pink and green dupattas that complement her own. MOTION8FILMS was there to document all the bittersweet moments as the girls put the finishing touches on today's Indian bride, and we can't wait to get our hands on that undoubtedly breathtaking footage.

Beauty by Anh's hair and makeup prowess reaches far beyond Maharanis — as Raja Altaf can attest to! Both he and his new bride have been touched by the expert's magic hands and were left flawlessly finished for their reception portraits with the dynamic photographers from FengLong Photography! Today's newlyweds are officially hubby and wife now, and they're all party ready for their post-ceremony soirée at the Crowne Plaza Atlanta Perimeter at Ravinia, where Events InStyle by Beenish is putting all the finishing touches on the floral and decor that is sure to blow you away later today. Now that you've gotten a sneak peek at Maharani Ambreen's exquisite, hot pink reception lengha and met the bridal party (we love the bridesmaids' turquoise and blue party saris!), it's time to check out even more of the unforgettable portraits from their final photo sesh in the complete gallery!

Maharani Ambreen on her wedding style:

"When I started planning my wedding, I knew I wanted all the events to be very traditional, but also wanted all the events to have their own style. Each time I thought of how I wanted my events, I closed my eyes and envisioned several different colors of the backdrop, lights, and other décor. Slowly I eliminated one color after another, until all that was left were the colors that made me smile. The Pithi/Sangeet event was a rainbow of different colors that were vibrant and provided me a feeling of energy and happiness every time I saw them. The reception had the perfect mix of elegance yet traditional. I definitely spent hours with my décor vendor, asking a lot of questions and using her guidance through every idea that came into my head no matter how impractical it may have sounded."

I'll be back in a flash with the most fabulous reception details you ever did see, so don't miss out!
