We're off to another incredible Indian wedding celebration in Southern California, thanks to this captivating film by the fabulous folks at Robles Video Productions! April Robles and her team have delivered yet another fantastic Filmy, and this time around we're reveling in the most stunning details from Shveta and Kunal's shaadi, planned and designed in brilliant fashion by SheerRomance, at the Hotel Irvine! Beauty by Lishma helped Maharani Shveta get ready for the Desi wedding of her dreams by adding a bit of sparkle to her wedding day makeup, and Kumba Entertainment dressed the outdoor ceremony to the nines in panels of pink and hot pink fabrics and a glistening gold mandap at center stage. Once Shveta and Kunal were pronounced husband and wife, Sandeep Kumar DJ'd a post-ceremony soirée for them and their guests that no one would soon forget! The Indian bride of the hour sparkled in splendor in her reception lengha which she entrusted her parents to select for her — good job, mom and dad! We heard that Global Photography was on hand to photograph all of these wedding day details and can't wait to get our hands on those pics and hope to share them with you too! For now, we're more than happy to experience this extraordinary event in this vibrantly videoed account!

Maharani Shveta, on her Raja's memorable proposal:

"My now husband had a beautiful proposal at the beach. He had setup a projector inside a seashell-themed "cave" on the beach, which displayed a musical slideshow of all our memories together. He then got down on one knee and proposed. Afterwards, we celebrated with our families and friends at a local Indian restaurant. It was more than perfect."

On what she enjoyed most about planning her dream wedding:

"I enjoyed the creative aspect of wedding planning. There is so much you can do for Indian weddings and related events, which really excited me."

On shopping for her wedding lenghas:

"My parents went to India and basically chose all my outfits for me. I was so thankful for their beautiful selection!"

On her hair and makeup:

"I honestly searched on the internet for all of my hairstyles. I am not really a big makeup person, so I consulted with the makeup artists for the perfect look."

On the role that family and friends played:

"Our family and friends went above and beyond for all of our events. Without them, we would not have been able to carry out a seamlessly organized and beautiful vision for our wedding. We love them and are so grateful for their effort."

That's it for today, my dears! We'll be back with more wedding fun tomorrow, so check in with us then!

Silver Iris Entertainment recently shot some of the most captivating footage from Pakistani bride and groom, Hibah and Saif's, incredible wedding event in Atlanta, Georgia, and TMLfilm took that footage and created the most stunning film for the newlyweds with their excellent editing skills! We were swept away by the breathtakingly bittersweet moments as Maharani Hibah got ready for her big day, and fell instantly for her and the Raja of her dreams during their romantic first look. There are plenty of splendid pre-wedding highlights, though the nikkah ceremony at the Renaissance Atlanta Waverly Hotel steals the entire show. Events InStyle by Beenish decked out the unforgettable nuptials in superb decor and MUA Beautybott primped and prettied the blushing bride while a hair stylist from Appearances Salon made sure not a strand on her head was out of place! We loved seeing the work of mehndi artist, Manisha's Mehendi Designs, and are head over heels for the gorgeous bridal fashions that Hibah selected from Rim Jhim! Her aqua and navy suit is sublime!

Maharani Hibah, on how she met the Raja of her dreams, Saif: 

"I met him through mutual friends while visiting DC on a work trip. I knew he was the one within the first few times we talked. Things just felt natural and comfortable with him."

On Raja Saif's proposal:

"We went the traditional, Pakistani Muslim route. He got things started by getting his parents involved, who then reached out to mine. The families met and liked each other, while we talked and got to know each other better and better. Next thing I knew...we got engaged!"

On her shaadi style:

"I didn't necessarily have a "dream Pakistani wedding" in mind when I started wedding planning back in May. I knew I wanted the color theme to be gold and ivory, because I had always been drawn to more subtle, classic colors. And I knew I wanted the wedding to be less traditional as far as customs and rituals go, and more enjoyable for us as the couple."

On her most memorable wedding moments:

"I think the most magical special moments for me were during the actual Nikkah ceremony when we said our "I do's" and signed the papers, as well as our photo shoot right after. The Nikkah ceremony was special for my entire family; we had just agreed to spending the rest of our lives together. And the photo shoot afterwards was special because it took place RIGHT after the Nikkah ceremony. This was the first time we were out in public as husband and wife. It was a sweet moment."

On the role that family and friends played:

"Some details that made the wedding REALLY special for me were my brother MC-ing for both of the wedding events we held, and my best friends taking part in a couple of fun Pakistani rasms: dood pillai and joota chuppai. The people that I love were able to be a big part of my wedding which made it that much more enjoyable for me."

Hope you loved this amazing Filmy feature as much as we did, Maharanis! See you tomorrow for two more Desi dream weddings you definitely won't want to miss!

We were swept off of our feet by the footage of Maharani Reha getting ready for her big day with the help of hair and makeup artist Nadia Alia, of Henna Dil Se, and blown away by the memorable wedding moment Aaroneye Photo & Video also captured when Vijay's groomsmen delivered an arrangement of red roses and a special note to his Indian bride that included the receipt from their very first date! Bridal and Event Lounge coordinated the happy couple's day of delightful shaadi events, and everything from their romantic first look at the 2:00 mark, to the exhilarating reception celebration is all sorts of sensational!

Bridal and Event Lounge has been busy prepping the post-ceremony soirée for newlyweds, Reha and Vijay, at the Newport Beach Marriott Hotel, while Aaroneye Photo & Video took the adorable duo out for some reception portraits that will steal your heart! Maharani Reha looks like a million bucks in her aqua and navy lengha, her hair and makeup by the talented artist from Henna Dil Se impeccably on point. Her brand new hubby, Vijay, is handsome as can be sporting his black suit and tie, and together the pair partied the night away with family and friends in a ballroom decked out in orchids and tea lights that twinkled to perfection. I'll be back later with a spellbinding look at the happy couple's wedding film, but while you're waiting, head into the complete gallery for more photos from this splendid Indian wedding event in Southern California.

Now that Vanisha is all dolled up, she is ready for the marriage ceremony with the Raja of her dreams! Our Indian bride took Ashneal's breath away as she stood at the top of the aisle, draped in an elegant red orange dupatta and hot pink bridal lengha by Sari Palace. Moments of bliss were among the ravishing couple as they stood under their intricate hot pink mandap created by floral and decor experts, SB Arts. After they both exchanged smiles and vows, Vanisha and Ashneal took time before their grand reception for some wedding portraits with each other and her wonderful bridal party who were donned in aqua saris with dazzling silver trim. We heard about the mouthwatering lunch served by Chaat Bhavan and wished we were there! We cannot get enough of this fabulous Indian wedding, be sure to check out more details in the full gallery!

Don't these two make a beautiful pair? We only hope that every Maharani is just as lucky!
