I can't think of a better start to the week than with this stunning fusion affair! Mia and Jovo are two college sweethearts that declared their love for each other amongst the beautiful wine country of Casa Real at Ruby Hills! This spectacular location helped these two designed the perfect ceremony that highlighted all the richness of south Indian wedding traditions. A precious entry altar outdoors and carved round mandap tastefully decorated with dozens of fresh flower strings from Dublin Floral Design flawlessly complemented the elegant ambiance of the ballroom!  Before the big union, Rhee Bevere Photography photographed the lovebirds’ first magic moments and all the beauty of their looks away from the eyes of family and friends! TM's Makeup Artistry glammed up the bridal look with natural makeup and a traditional jasmine flower hairstyle while Jovo’s silk dhoti set was really made the groom the best dressed! See the elaborate South Indian celebrations in our full gallery!

Follow me to the grand bash that is just around the corner!

We are in New York today celebrating the nuptials of Joycelynn and Joseph and their glamorous wedding bash at the Garden City Hotel. We have to give a round of applause to the incredible floral and decor team from Stylish Event and planning aficionados from Touch of Elegance Event Planners for pulling off such a hypnotizingly beautiful soiree. Take one look at these photos and you’ll see what we mean: every detail was out of this world dazzling! The altar was bursting with fresh white blooms and mesmerizing jewel toned uplighting. As the ceremony began, radiant Joycelynn floated down the aisle looking absolutely lovely adorned in thick waves and kajal lined eyes. She wore one of the glitziest lehengas we’ve ever seen, and we’re absolutely loving how she sparkled from head to toe under the plethora of glimmering chandeliers! And we’re obsessing over the intricate pinning of her dupatta, which draped over her body and back whimsically. After Joycelynn and Joseph were pronounced Mr. and Mrs., the celebrations really began, and a nonstop dance party rocked the house all night long. We wish we’d scored an invite, but we’ll just have to relive all the glory in the full gallery captured by North Island Photography. Hurry over to the photos for your daily dose of delight.

Have a wonderful evening Maharanis!

Morning lovelies! Every bride dreams of sealing the deal with her Prince Charming in a timeless fairy-tale wedding. Maharani Joycelynn and her Raja Joseph definitely achieved this; their matrimonial celebrations epitomized the picture perfect soiree filled to the brim with rose petals and romantic sparkle. The party planning began with the organizational dream team from Touch of Elegance Event Planners and floral and decor visionaries from Stylish Events. We’ll share all the fantastical decor and design elements in our next post which will cover all the ceremony and reception action! To prepare for the most important walk of her life, the bride donned a dazzling cream and burgundy lengha accessorized with diamond and ruby jewelry. Joycelynn brought in talented makeup and hair artists Jenna Pytel & Veronica Arbanil who transformed this Maharani’s natural beauty into a bombshell look. After every pin was in place and all the pleats of Joycelynn’s lengha moved effortlessly, she was ready to reunite with her beau for an emotional first look on the grounds of the Garden City Hotel. Joseph awaited his bride while looking dapper in a tailored tux. North Island Photography captured all the memorable moments in the stills that you can find in our full gallery.

All the ceremony and reception action coming right up!

Hello, Maharanis! You're going to love Amila and Omar's charming Indian fusion wedding! CLINK planned the wonderful affair, with the ceremony and reception being held at the rustic Prospect House venue in Austin, Texas. Our gorgeous Indian bride Amila got a soft hair and makeup look, which brought out her natural beauty, by Adore Makeup Boutique + Salon, before donning a fabulous golden bridal lengha. We loved how the embroidery on her dupatta echoed her mehndi art by Henna Arts! After an amazing first look photography session with Studio Uma, featuring the couple's adorable bull dog, it was on to the baraat! The incredible team at Nachle DJ Entertainment made every moment of the baraat enjoyable, whether it was Hardeep Sandhu's lively dhol playing or DJ Jag spinning the perfect tunes to keep the guests dancing! Check out photos from the baraat, as well as more of the ceremony and mandap, in the full gallery!

Up next: the enchanting reception! Stick around!
