Good morning! Today we take to the Sunshine State where Drish Couture Events, Nami Dadlani Photography Studio, and Occasions by Shangri-la make magic happen in O-Town! These sweethearts are "all for love" as they get ready to make their union official in a South Indian wedding ceremony. Maharani Anuradha is a classic beauty in her gold and emerald bridal sari while her Raja rocks a crisp white sherwani. Head to the gallery before these two head down the aisle!

From the bride, on wedding fashion:

"Being in the industry this came as second nature… I think it helped that my ideas were ethereal and classic. I have a love for Indo-Western fashion so wedding shopping was a dream come true! For pre-bridal outfits I wore a Sabyasachi Mukherjee kanchi pattu saree, ornate Tarun Thahiliani lehenga, and Lucknowi Manish Malhotra lehenga and for the wedding opted for a traditional Gaurang Shah saree. For the reception, I used my designing senses and mixed and matched designer lehengas… Anushree Reddy lehenga and the blouse of another Sabysachi lehenga.

I went with a very traditional look for my wedding and growing up I would see a few aunts and cousins be known for their specific specialities. My mom's eldest sister did my long braid and my cousin tied my wedding saree. South Indian sarees are sometimes so heavy it gets tough!"

Love it! Stay tuned for a darling portrait sesh!

Our posh princess is all dolled up and now she's got her girls by her side! This bridal party is all things beautiful with a rainbow of saris that are as pretty as can be. How amazing do all these colors look side by side?! It makes our bride's bright red ceremony fit look even more brilliant! With her gorgeous headpiece in place (still loving those amazing jewels!) and Mark Swaroop Photography on the scene to take fabulous portraits, Maharani Veena is ready for her big moment. Before she makes her grand entrance, I've got to check out all the pics in the gallery! 

From the bride:

"Being a Rajput I grew up awestruck by my mom's jewelry, which she got from her mother. I always imagined myself wearing that extravagant 'ardha' choker, elaborate bajhuband with traditional 'poshak.' We wanted to embrace our rajputana culture hence the decor, dress code was all Rajputa. To see my friends who all turned up wearing bright colored poshak and all men in royal turban was such a beautiful sense of being part of a loving tribe."

On planning the wedding:

"I enjoyed that unique way people made me feel loved and important. Bridesmaids chirpy emailer chains telling me how much they loved the red color of my outfit, my dad's happy face to see his daughter marry such a fine gentleman, my brother and sister in law's small but funny tips to long and happy marriage."

Come right back cuz our Raja is about to kick off the baraat!

Love is setting sail aboard this luxury liner and our sweethearts are taking a few moments to soak up the sunshine as R.A.G.Artistry captures the sweetest snapshots. With the ocean serving as a picturesque backdrop, our duo's bright sherwani and lengha sari stand out as radiant splashes of color against a sea of blue. How radiant is that chartreuse and fuchsia combo?! I am adoring these stylish portraits, and they are so cheerful that I want to go back and re-watch the video by WalkOnWater Productions we got to see in March! As the sun sets our darling couple basks in the glow of their day and if you're like me, you're gonna want to see the rest of their pics in the gallery! 

Stay tuned for the stunning ceremony styled by Mandap World!
