Welcome to Maharani Weddings

There is something about Indian wedding videos that always seems to slap a smile on my face. But when it’s a video by Photographick Studios, I know I am going to be one happy camper! This Virginia Indian wedding will draw you in and the bride’s modern black and white reception lengha will definitely have you looking twice. There are so many fabulous details in this charming Indian wedding…the lighting by Volcanik Entertainment, decor by Le Reve Creations, and the flawless makeup by Elizabeth Paschall are just a snapshot of what's in store. So let’s take a look, Maharanis, and as the song goes, “Beautiful girl makes a beautiful world.” Have a fabulous Valentine's weekend, lovelies!

If you missed any of the wedding wonder this week, lovelies, here are some of my favorites!

• A glowing blue and crystal reception. 
• A bride's exceptional hair and makeup.
• Beautiful first-look portraits.

It's a fabulous Tuesday, Maharanis, and I am sipping my chai latte and browsing this radiant collection of sangeet images from Studio Uma and I can't get enough! Bride Aliyah has already kicked off the celebration with a sensational mehndi night (if you missed the fun, check it out here!) and now it's time to dance the night away in fabulous princess fashion! Her long locks are unstoppably pretty and her deep fuchsia lengha is totally dazzling! She is all things beautiful for this Decor One-styled affair and I feel like getting up and sashaying to the beat too! I'll meet you in the gallery! 

From the bride, on how she knew she'd found her true love: "After a few dates, I told Khalid I wanted to something low key. He knew I loved food trucks so he planned an evening at one of his favorite trucks. We pulled into a deserted parking lot with a food truck, and to my surprise, a charming table for two with red tablecloth and candles. I felt like I was in a movie! 'He did this all for me?!' At this point, I saw just how thoughtful, caring and how special Khalid really was! He is definitely my 'Raja!'"

Stay tuned as this Maharani gets all dolled up for her Hilton Houston Post Oak ceremony!

Welcome back, Maharanis! Ready for something epic? Me too! This Filmy Friday feature from Key Moment Films is a glorious montage of sensational wedding fun, from the mehndi night to the first-look portraits to the dazzling reception with enough sparkle to leave any girl with a shimmer rush! (Just wait till you see her midnight blue lengha!). With Sona Photography snapping away, capturing every precious image for their upcoming photo album, this sweet duo will have memories to last a lifetime! Plus, you gotta hear the soundtrack to this blockbuster, my lovelies; it's worthy of the academy. Really! I might just have to watch this all over from the start! 

If you missed any of the wedding magic this week, here's some of my favorite moments!

• A gorgeous, shimmering makeup look.
• A vintage-style, waterfront sangeet.
• A radiant pink and gold reception.

See you on Monday with a whole new week of wedding fun! 

Happy Wednesday to you, Maharanis! Today, it's all about elegance—from the waterfront sangeet to the white rose reception—and you are going to love every detail! Kumari Photo and Cinema is capturing each rustic, romantic touch, including the exquisite invitations and vintage-style lanterns, and it is truly a classy affair. This posh party is as perfect as a Bollywood premier! I know the wedding day coordinated by Bells N Rings Events will be equally stunning. Our bride shows off her intricate mehndi designs (and spends some time with an adorable mini Maharani!) while looking like a total princess in a gorgeous champagne and gold lengha. Soon enough she'll be walking down the aisle to meet her Raja, so before the wedding bells chime, I'll be in the gallery!  

See you in a bit with more wedding fun!

It's another day in Paradise for us, Maharanis! We're sailing to the Caribbean compliments of Studio 1923 today for a magnificent destination wedding on the warm sands of Aruba. To bring this beach brilliance to life, bride Kavita has the planning and design experts from KIS (cubed) Events and floral and decor divas from Occasions by Shangri-la by her side. The Occasions crew tells us, "The sangeet was held in a palapa on the beach, which our team draped with deep purple, orange, and fuchsia chiffon. Ornate lanterns of varying height and color added the Indian detail the bride wanted. To further create a festive atmosphere, the entrance walkway was lined with tiki torches, and market lights hung on the roof’s edge." What a dream scene! The vidhi ceremony is equally bright and leaves our Mrs.-to-be with a glowing complexion so Amisha's Artistry can tend to her makeup for the big event! I've got to get ready too, so I'm gonna slip on my strappy sandals and browse the gallery!  

From the bride: "I got my sangeet outfit from Jesal Vora, and designed my own jewelry for that outfit. I had a small shop in Mumbai make the jewelry, which was perfect. I bought my wedding jewels from Zaveri and Co. in Ahmedabad; it had a hint of my favorite color, blue, which happened to be my something blue—along with the ocean."

Don't miss all the lovely portraits up next!
