Welcome to Maharani Weddings

I had the pleasure of spending some time with the top floral designers over the weekend, and the hot topic amongst these trend setters is a lovely little color called lime green.  Lime green has energetic appeal and adds a bright, bold look to any wedding. But, for South Asian weddings it has a refreshing style that fits perfectly into your color palette.

Lime green is a versatile color, so there are a few different ways this bold color can be used….

For Fall brides : When paired with deep red, you will get a sophisticated look that is anything but boring.  The lime green adds some youthfulness to the burgundy’s elegance that definitely sets a romantic mood.

For Spring brides : Lime green paired with chocolate brown will have a warm woodsy feel to it that is perfect for any outdoor affair.

For Summer brides : Pair lime green with orange and lemon, and you have a colorful citrus palette that is full of energy.  A fun idea that I picked up is to use the fruit to further enhance your decor.  They can be used to decorate cakes, tables, and flowers!

For Winter brides : A fresh addition to white, lime green gives a vibrant life to an otherwise simple color palette.

Don’t be afraid to experiment with this color and I would love to know, which one is YOUR favorite?

Keeping a rational outlook on weddings is really difficult for a dreamer, like me, to do.  I mean, after all it is your one day?!  Well, it is one day, but what is healthy to remember (this applies to me) is that it is only ONE day.

So many brides, especially South Asian brides, want to tear their hair out and threaten to elope after a few weeks in the hot seat.  Instead of getting frazzled, I found this one of a kind way to put the enjoyment back into your wedding planning, and from my experience around the corner from your friend humor lives your other friend perspective…

MyCaricature.com will make a 100% customized caricature of you and your groom for your wedding day, and the results are hilarious, yet refined. This is not your big nose, bulging eye balls, look what I got from the circus caricature.  These drawings are done either by hand or digitally, and the artist have over 35 years of experience.  I think that this is an adorable Indian wedding idea for your save the date, wedding invitation, or my favorite idea, your guest “book” board.

For the risk averse, MyCaricature.com will redraw the caricature (at no extra cost) as many times as needed until you are satisfied with the result, or we will refund the amount you paid for your order if you wish so.  I mean, how great is that?!
