Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
One of our friends owns a lifestyle clothing brand and asked us months ago if we could model some of his merchandise in a photo shoot. So we agreed; on the day of, his friend told us I was going to start creating and editing videos and start my own content creation company on the side. Which was actually very believable, so he said if you guys don’t mind, I can use you guys to make a promo video. I still didn’t think anything of it. So we went to downtown LA, and he followed around all day and shot content of us on a “date,” etc. Towards the end of the day, he said I got some great content. I think it would be perfect if we wrap it up with a couple of shots of you two at the beach; my husband and his friend had an entire staged conversation in the car, deciding where to go and whatnot, and I totally believed it all. Once we got to Malibu, we started walking down the beach, and behind a little cliff, I walked into an entire setup of his proposal that he and my friends coordinated. They were all in on it; they even posted fake stories about being out of town, so I wouldn’t think anything was up. (See video for details) It was absolutely magical!

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
Before I even started my selection process, I knew my wedding lehenga had to be one of my favorite designers, either Sabyasachi or Manish Malhotra. I flew to New York with both of my maid of honor and went to Sabya's New York location. Sadly, they only had two wedding options to choose from, and none of them spoke to me. Plus because I knew i was going to be getting married by the beach I knew I wanted a lighter color. So i came home and started doing my research I fell in love with the paste; green color I saw on a model in Manish Malhotras page. I contacted them online and the rest was history, They were able to make adjustments to create the wedding Lehanga of my dreams. Ultimately, I ended up with the perfect Manish Malhotra piece.

Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
My best friends walked me to the aisle under a 'phool chadar' that my maid of honor handmade, under a veil that my best friend's mom is hand-made. My entrance to the wedding was so powerful it felt like time had stopped as I was walking out. The sky was perfect, and the song we used was perfect. My best friend holding the chadar to see me off was extremely powerful.

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
Dear future brides, this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. All the emotions, stress, and joy you feel right now, you will remember for a lifetime. I know it’s hard not to stress over the little details to make sure your visions come to life exactly the way you pictured, but I promise you when it’s all over, all you will remember are the emotions you felt during this time. So, if I can leave you with anything, I would say, enjoy this time and be truly present so that later in life, you can reflect on how truly precious this time in your life really is.

This perfect blend of tradition made every intimate moment feel like a scene from a love story.

Picture this: a serene garden at the Renaissance Tampa International Plaza Hotel, softly touched by the morning sun. Our dashing groom, Rohan, in a perfectly tailored creamy suit, stood patiently with his back to the pathway, hands fidgeting ever so slightly, a mix of excitement and nerves. Enter Jaimini, radiant in a white lehenga from Kynah—simple, elegant, and a perfect departure from the traditional red. Her jewelry, a mix of heirloom pieces and red-stoned bangles from her mother-in-law, added a personal touch to her look.

Cue the slow music—Jaimini’s entrance song, Jag Ghoomeya from Sultan, set the perfect tone. As she approached, Rohan looked over his shoulder, his eyes widened in astonishment, and—like any true romantic—he let out a happy little "Wow." The audience couldn't help but swoon, and honestly, who could blame them? It was a first look that felt straight out of a movie, with Andrew Do Photography masterfully captured every emotion and moment, turning their love story into a visual masterpiece. His ability to blend candid, emotional shots with perfectly timed moments made the day feel like it was plucked from a dream. Kudos to Big Guava Events for orchestrating this beautifully. From the well choreographed first look to the flawlessly timed reception transitions, they ensured everything unfolded without a hitch.

Fast-forward to the evening reception, where Jaimini & Rohan brought the wow factor back in full swing. The ballroom was draped in ethereal floral arrangements by Utopian Events, resembling an enchanted garden with golden hues and romantic candlelight. The acrylic Mandap, draped in spectacular flowers, was not only a breathtaking ceremony centerpiece but later transformed into the  Awaaz Entertainment backdrop for the reception. They had every guest on their feet, clapping along to a thumping Bollywood beat. We're convinced even the chandeliers were dancing!

The night ended under a canopy of twinkling fairy lights, with guests holding sparklers high as Jaimini & Rohan exited. There were tears (of joy), laughs, and many "aww" moments. As they walked hand in hand toward their next chapter. We loved every bit of this enchanting wedding, the personal moments that made Jaimini & Rohan's day truly theirs. Swipe through our gallery to fall in love with this incredible couple again!
