Welcome to Maharani Weddings

Happy Film-y Friday, my beauties! Grab those tissues because you will sure need them after watching this beautiful fusion wedding unfold. I seriously had a lump in my throat the whole time as I held back tears of joy! I'm telling you, it's absolutely breathtaking!  Imagique masterfully captures this union of two cultures as festivities take place at The Richard Nixon Library. Maharani Shetal and her Raja Tyler couldn't be a more perfect pair and their love story has completely stolen my heart. We got to see their amazing wedding album by Harvard Photography last month and now this video puts the sweetest icing on the cake! This bride looks absolutely flawless in her glamorous bridal lengha and stunning snow white wedding dress. And her makeup and hair are styled to perfection by the skillful hands of Couture Beauty. How sweet is her hubby-to-be as he watches her gracefully make her way down the aisle? Now that, my friends, is the most truest of loves! Planning Elegance did a grand job bringing this romance to life while the sounds of Special Occasions DJ & Lighting have me swaying as I sit lovesick in my office. Sigh...this is one fairy tale come true that I could watch over and over again! Roll the film and get that waterproof mascara ready!

I have another sweet cinematic masterpiece coming up next!

Three cheers for bright red and gold! It's time for this Raja to make his grand procession on horseback! I just love the glorious nature of baraats; they set such a regal tone for the big event to come! These magical images by Wedding Documentary Photo + Cinema make me feel like I'm actually at this gorgeous floral-themed affair styled by Anais Event Planning & Design. The wispy strands of white petals on the mandap are too dreamy! And how perfect is Casa Real at Ruby Hill Winery with its stately wooden doors and spacious ballroom? This crowd is bound to have a fabulous time dancing long into the night with the tunes of  Wicked Entertainment keeping everyone snappin' and toe-tappin' away! Come meet me in the gallery!

See you super soon at their sensational reception!

Welcome back, Maharanis! Get ready to be blown away by these pre-wedding festivities over in the Windy city of Chi-town! The ceremonies begin with the mehndi night where the bride dons a colorful purple and olive green lengha. I love her effortless makeup and laid-back curls! A no-fuss look is a must when you are getting your bridal mehndi applied and this bride shows us how it’s done with her carefree style! As the Garba night rolls around, this Maharani is no stranger to color as she rocks the most gorgeous hot pink lengha! The little details of the event like the handmade rangoli floor piece and the authentic pani puri car give these guests a little taste of India. What a way to take it back to the roots! As my mouth waters for more fantastic shots by Joseph Kang, I’m going to go check out the gallery!

 
Next up, a glam session before these two lovebirds tie the knot!

Moments before the ceremony, the bride and groom glam up as Joseph Kang follows these two lovebirds in delightful anticipation. With a soft smokey eye, bold lip, and an elegant up-do styled by Mehwish Khan, this Maharani rocks the traditional Indian bridal look! Simple diamond and ruby jewelry complement her ravishing red and white gold lengha choli, and some killer gold heels have her walking on sunshine! Her hubby-to-be follows suit donning an equally eloquent outfit, putting this perfect pair at the top of my best-dressed list! I love when couples sneak a peak before the ceremony to share a few intimate moments! It makes the day seem a little less chaotic as you stare into your true love's eyes! Head over to the gallery before these two soul mates tie the knot!

You don't want to miss the purple pops of color at the ceremony, up next!
