What’s a wedding without family? In the end, a wedding is all about bringing two families together and creating a new one! Thankfully, Meera and Ashish’s families did more than that, as they all stepped up and contributed with all their effervescence and good vibes to the wedding event! The groom’s side helped to set the tone for a vibrant baraat where groom Ashish gave us a lecture in style with an all-white outfit and sunglasses that made him look as a true Indian prince while making his grand entrance! Our charming bride Meera went for a soft ombre peach color lehenga-choli that harmonized with her prince outfit. The planning process is key to create an unforgettable day. Super talented Kaleidoscope Weddings provided their top-notch services to make sure the bride and groom had everything they envisioned for their wedding day. The grounds of the spectacular Deerfield Country Club were destined to hold the most romantic outdoor Hindu ceremony. The most alluring mandap structure was built to serve as the ceiling for the celebrant to preside the solemn ceremony where our Maharani and Rajah exchanged garlands and their wedding vows! This pictorial setting was exploited by Studio Nine Photography + Cinema to capture a timeless pre-wedding photo session of the happy couple. See how this lovely couple pulled off the most romantic and elegant outdoor nuptials by going to the gallery by Studio Nine Photography + Cinema.

We'll unveil more deets of this charming love story in our next post! Don't forget to stop by!

Happy Thursday, loves! You can just feel all the warmth, radiant smiles and love exuding from the wedding images of Monica and Ritesh courtesy of Kokoro Photography. Our Indian lovebirds tied the knot last summer in a lavish wedding ceremony at the Hyatt Place Denver Tech Center.  In the comfort of her hotel room, Maharani Monica was all dolled up for her special day with the professional makeup artist Kari Kisch, who created a luminous makeup look that made the bride glow throughout her special day. Any Indian bride, wouldn’t be a true Maharani without a stunning jewelry set and our Maharani certainly fulfilled this requirement, she looked incredible wearing a stunning jewelry set that enhances the entire outfit. The wedding ceremony marked the beginning of their marriage life and fortunately, the special occasion was all methodically planned by Raindrops On Roses Event Planners, they looked after every single detail and provided Monica and Ritesh an unforgettable day. I just can't help but fall in love with the charming and romantic décor. DNM Events customized the event with a fabulous dark purple carpet aisle runner and some fantastic tall golden vases that give an extravagant touch to the color spectrum, that also perfectly matched the sarees and sherwanis worn by the couple’s entourage. Check out more of the bride and groom's portraits by Kokoro Photography in our full gallery.

After a lovely sangeet/mehndi event, Preeti and Gaurav’s festivities were in full swing! The couple and their guests were ready for the sophisticated ceremony at the Washington Dulles Airport Marriott. Maharani Preeti started the ceremonial proceedings in a pristine ceremony lehenga that made her look positively angelic! Preeti embodied the picture perfect bride in her ruby red lehenga accessorized with a variety of bling (including a fabulous set of kalire!) and a perfectly pinned dupatta that we are drooling over. Maharanis, this wedding contains so many delectable fashion moments, so check out the full gallery for so much inspo. We are huge fans of mixing colors and bridal styles throughout wedding celebrations; the more varied the fashions, the more memorable the events and the photos turn out. Adding to Preeti’s glow was her ravishing hair and makeup by Bridal Elegance by Suman and swirling henna designs. Bridal Elegance by Suman Khosla brought their magic brushes to ensure that Preeti sparkled like a diamond! Raja Gaurav looked dapper as well as he gazed at his gorgeous and fiesty bride with pride and amor. The love between the two seems to emanate from each and every ceremony pic by Titu Photography.

Preeti and Gaurav had a bold and beautiful Indian wedding that lasted for over a month, taking place in lovely Dulles, VA as well as India. The celebrations kicked off with their vibrant Sangeet event at Silk Restaurant, followed by tons of nonstop wedding fun! Sparkling, jewel toned decor drenched their picture perfect events, with lush draping and rainbow hued umbrella by Silk Party Decor surrounding the festivities. We are obsessed with Maharani Preeti’s sophisticated and vivacious fashions throughout the celebrations. She looked positively breathtaking in her fresh and breezy mint Sangeet ensemble and bombshell hair and makeup. She glammed up the look with ornate, geometric jewelry, a side swept fishtail braid, and mesmerizing henna. We were swooning with happiness over these joyful Sangeet photos. We love to see the bride and groom having such a blast on the dance floor. Preeti and Gaurav obviously have such a fun time together wherever they are! Bask in all the Sangeet pizzazz with these vibrant photos by Stylish Click. In our next post, Preeti cranked up the color in a ruby red ceremony lehenga and Bollywood goddess makeup by Bridal Elegance by Suman Khosla.

Henna by Jinal has been creating special designs for Indian brides for as long as we can remember! Don’t take our word for it, check out her work down below!
