Welcome to Maharani Weddings

If I could break out in song right now, Maharanis, I would do it, because this fusion event has me buzzing with delight! The wedding stage is set and bride Diana is glowing as she walks down the aisle to meet Raja Sumit; she's every bit the princess in her strawberry red sari and Jay Seth Photography is by her side snapping plenty of gorgeous pics. Bells N Rings Events ensures that this event is planned to perfection while Elegant Affairs Inc brings this couple's decor dreams to life! When Platinum Guide vendors are on the scene, it's bound to be unstoppably fabulous! But the fun isn't over yet, lovelies, because this dazzling duo is about to go for found two with a second ceremony! After I sing my heart out in the gallery, I'll meet you there!  

You won't want to miss the outdoor ceremony that's about to begin!

Ok, I am seriously loving these first-look portraits by Joie Elie Photography & Cinematography! The smiles on these two sweethearts are as brilliant as true love's kiss and they've got me grinning right along. BridalByJyoti has created a flawless hair and makeup look (I'm still daydreaming about trying that shimmer shadow!) and I am counting the minutes until the Rose Events Wedding Planners & Coordinators-designed ceremony begins so our lovebirds can tie the knot. It's going to be a glittering gold and scarlet soiree with style for days! Until our happy couple is exchanging vows under the mandap at Hyatt Regency Philadelphia at Penn's Landing, I'll be in the gallery! 

From the bride, on her engagement: "We decided to take a trip with my best friend to go kayaking and check out this amazing ocean view in La Jolla. Apparently, he had conjured a plan with my best friend to propose that day. The day before, he rented a guitar and dropped it off at my friend's house. When my friend came to pick us up the morning of, she said her trunk was 'full' so we'd have to put our kayak clothes in the back seat, which I thought nothing of. After kayaking, we went to the ocean view, which is located in a La Jolla neighborhood on top of these cliffs. My friend suddenly had to take a phone call, so Utpal and I walked to the cliffs alone. He asked me if I wanted a surprise, told me to close my eyes, and next thing I knew I heard the strum of a guitar. When I opened my eyes, he was down on one knee, playing and singing 'Can't Help Falling In Love,' and my friend was back on her iPhone taking pictures and video. It was really beautiful and sweet, and of course I said, 'yes!'"

I love proposal stories! See you at the ceremony!

The first ceremony at Saint Monica's Catholic Church has been a success, and now it's time to head to the beach for some fun in the sun! Maharani Sarina gathers her best gals in their pink bridesmaids' saris for some glam poses in the sand as Michael T. Regan Photography plays paparazzi. This bridal party is having a blast while Sparkling Imagination is setting up the next venue for the Hindu ceremony. Head over to the gallery before it begins!

From the bride, on wedding planning: "We both enjoyed learning more about each other's traditions in the process of planning our dream wedding. It felt so great to be able to share my family customs and also learning about his."

I'll be right back with more wedding fun after this quick chai break!

Good morning, my loves! Wedding bells are ringing as Michael T. Regan Photography gets his flash ready for the Sparkling Imagination-designed ceremony! Maharani Sarina is glowing in her snow white sari with glittering gold details as she grabs her lush bouquet to head down the aisle. Her bridesmaids are precious in pink as they watch this happily after ever come to life with adoring eyes and it's a completely perfect day! The Sri Lankan Catholic nuptials join the union of these two lovebirds and then it's off to the mandap for the second ceremony! Check out all the shots at the gallery!

From the bride, on the proposal: "Dillon took me to Lake Shrine in Pacific Palisades and asked me if he could take a picture of me in front of the Krishna statue. I said 'sure' and he got down on his knees. Then he asked me to close my eyes and make a wish and we would come back in a year to see if my wish came true. In my mind, I was thinking what a terrible angle for a picture but went with it. And it turned out he was recording the proposal the entire time!"

Stay tuned for some super sweet beach portraits up next!
