The photos of Sheetal and Samir’s sunset hued reception soiree emit such a buzz of glamorous energy! The ballroom at the Hilton Pearl River was utterly decked out in dazzling candles, crystals, florals, and draping by Mayuri's Floral Design and All Events Decorators, and the overall effect was nothing short of spectacular! We were huge fans of Sheetal and Samir’s fashion forward reception garb. Samir wore a sleek tuxedo, while Maharani Sheetal dropped jaws in her golden, Indian inspired gown. There were so many adorable details included in this event, like the coloring book table for their youngest guests! So sweet. Also, before the wedding, the couple took requests on their website for which customized drinks should be served at the reception. This resulted in some seriously delicious cocktail suggestions. We think it’s always such a great idea to get guests’ input on certain wedding decisions because it makes everyone feel included in the celebrations, while the couple receive some great ideas that they may not have thought of on their own! This event included some incredible dance performances, singing, and speeches, but the party really rocketed to a new level when Magic Mike took center stage and guests boogied to the wild Bollywood beats. Maharanis, we’ve put together a gallery of all Sheetal and Samir’s wedding goodness with incredible pics by Ishan Fotografi. Enjoy!

We’ll see you all tomorrow with another fantastic wedding extravaganza!

The wedding of Sheetal & Samir ticked all the boxes and then some on how to throw a beautiful Indian matrimonial bash. Each and every event was lovingly thought out and filled to the brim with special details that showcased the personality of the adorable couple. We adored the bold red and gold décor inside the ballroom at the Hilton Pearl River, which resembled a royal Indian palace, complete with gold columns, a red carpet, and lush blooms. As a lovely contrast to the ornate setup indoors, the couple took some serene bridal portraits outside, surrounded by nature and vibrant foliage. Sheetal’s look was breathtaking, including a dazzling red lehenga, sparkling jewelry, and bombshell hair and makeup by Anita Shah. Sheetal & Samir’s traditional Hindu ceremony was rife with meaningful traditions, and we are such fans of how the couple included so much information on their website and in a custom ceremony booklet for guests who may not have been familiar with a Hindu ceremony. The artists at Ishan Fotografi were there to capture each joyous moment, and we encourage you to peruse the full gallery, which is bursting with inspirational pizzazz. We’ll be back in a jiffy with their fun filled reception extravaganza that included musical entertainment by the energetic Magic Mike!

Hurry back Maharanis for more of Sheetal & Samir’s wedding dazzle!

Floating floral arrangements, a wall of flickering candles, and hundreds of sparkling crystal garlands created quite the impression as guests filtered into the reception ballroom at the Stafford Centre. DecoArt once again knocked it out of the park with their decorating wizardry, and guests were swept up in the romantic ambiance the second they entered the space. Their excitement heightened when Sadaf and Adeel arrived in their incredible black tie ensembles. Adeel was fitted in a deep blue sherwani, while Maharani Sadaf looked otherworldly in hair and makeup by Eternal Glow and a blue gown embellished with white and gold stonework by Panache by Sharmeen. The event was a whirlwind of happy tears, graceful dancing, and loving words, and every guest was uplifted by the love inside the room. As they chowed down on rich dishes by Aga's Restaurant and a masterpiece of a cake by Miss Confectionality - Asmita Ali, they couldn’t wait to get down on the dance floor to celebrate the newly minted couple. DJ Zee provided the beats to energize the room, and guests celebrated until the wee hours of the morning! This bash truly lived up to the larger than life Texas attitude and we’re thrilled that Sadaf and Adeel had such a magnificent event to begin their matrimonial journey. You don’t want to miss out on any of their lavish celebrations, so take your time and look through the full gallery by MnM Photography.

Hope you all were as inspired as we were by those celebrations. See you bright and early tomorrow morning!

We’re so excited to share Sadaf and Adeel's wedding with you all today! These celebrations were bursting with the most dazzling wedding decor and design elements imaginable. We start out with Sadaf and Adeel’s sangeet, which was a breathtaking display of rainbow and glitter motifs. We wholeheartedly believe that jewel toned decor adorned with gold details cannot be beat in terms of creating a visual feast for the eyes. So, for all you brides-to-be debating on color palettes for your events, our vote is to include every color imaginable for one event since the resulting look is simply arresting! Even though her sangeet surroundings were a riot of vibrant colors, Maharani Sadaf still stood out with her bridal allure. She wore a royal violet lehenga with gold embroidery by Panache by Sharmeen and artistic hair and makeup by Eternal Glow. The overall effect was breathtaking. The lovebirds and their guests took a variety of photos on the blinged out stage by DecoArt. Since the ceremony and reception can sometimes become too chaotic to take photos with loved ones, taking photos at the sangeet, before the festivities get too crazy, is a fabulous way to capture moments with your nearest and dearest. Maharanis, soak in all the vibrant beauty in these gorg photos by MnM Photography. You’ll want to spend oodles of time looking through the full gallery for so much wedding inspo! 

Hurry back Maharanis! We'll have all the stunning reception deets coming right up.

After their glittering ceremony, we didn’t think it was possible for Dhara and Ronak to amp up the glam factor any further. We were proven wrong by the newlywed’s magnificent reception soiree at the Sheraton Mahwah Hotel! From the moment we saw Maharani Dhara’s dramatic black and pink lehenga, stunning mehndi by Mehndibyanuja, and sultry hair and makeup by SV Bridal Concepts, we knew we’d be in for a moody and glamorous treat. As we predicted, the event was a visual feast, featuring rich plums and fuchsias, highlighted with pops of yellow. Wedding Design erected shelves covered in flickering candles and florals, and brought in chandeliers and crystal garlands to amp up the luxurious ambiance further! We’ve all heard that “beauty is in the details” and this reception is a perfect representation of that concept! The newlyweds numbered the tables with their favorite streets and gave their bridal party the most adorable customized gifts! Brides to be, you’ll want to check out the full gallery by NYNJ Photography for so many clever wedding ideas! With so much detail involved, Dhara and Ronak brought in planning and design help from the incredible Picture Perfect Moments LLC. They also entrusted DJ Sunny Entertainment to amp up their guests with the best in musical entertainment and Rasoi for some scrumptious catering! There are too many beautiful reception moments to describe, so take a gander at all the gorgeousness in the full gallery by NYNJ Photography!

Maharanis, we’ll see you same time, same place tomorrow morning! Have a fantastic day!
