We're in paradise perusing the photos of this exquisitely styled Indian wedding editorial. So much over the top sparkle and glam photographed by the talents at Salwa Photography. Sonal J. Shah Event Consultants hit it out of the ballpark with this pristinely planned reception wedding shoot at The Plaza, and it’s chock full of the most dazzling wedding inspo imaginable. Jeannie Fortunato at Atlas Floral Decorators orchestrated a multitude of decor elements including mountains of florals, orchid covered manzanita centerpieces, and modern glass candelabras. The stunning tablescapes were lush oasis of jewel tones accented with gold. The lovely Maharani models looked amazing in every single frame, and we were simply delighted by their angelic, white gowns that complemented the vibrant surroundings. Their doe eyed makeup and bouffant updos were masterfully created by the beauty gurus at BridalGal Multicultural Beauty. You have to head over to the complete gallery to fill up on everything from this styled shoot, since we can’t put into words how fabulous every single detail is. Trust us, you’ll want to study these photos for your own wedding bash; they include all the inspiration and romance your heart can handle!

Whew. Such a gorgeous editorial shoot. We're in complete awe!

Happy Monday, dolls! We’re so excited to be sharing this dreamy, styled shoot at the The Plaza by phenomenal event photographer Salwa Photography with you today. Every single shot took our breath away. Kudos to the visionaries from Sonal J. Shah Event Consultants for the immense amount of planning necessary to put together an editorial feature of this caliber. The decor and fashions truly seem like something out of a dream. The lovely models were adorned in glittering fashions from Sabyasachi, Pronovias, and Designer Loft Bridal, and all this couture has us reaching for our wallet to partake in a little retail therapy of our own. So gorg! BridalGal Multicultural Beauty worked their magic brushes on these Maharanis, and produced the most dazzling ruby lips and sultry glows. The beauty continued with the incomparable Jeannie Fortunato at Atlas Floral Decorators whipping up a fairy tale ambiance, beginning with the majestic mandap that was completely covered in a multitude of rainbow hued roses. Seriously, these snaps will truly inspire you to get moving on your own glam wedding plans. In our next post we’ll cover some fantastical reception decor and share the most charming cake by Ron Ben-Israel Cakes, but you'll have to wait until we get back to see all of those divine details. In the meantime, you can check out more inspiring portraits by Salwa Photography in the complete gallery!

So much more beauty awaits, so hurry back!

Welcome back Maharanis! Since it’s the last day of July, (we can’t believe how quickly this summer is zooming by!) we wanted to bring you a wedding filled with summery goodness. Nirmala and Umesh’s wedding was a dream beach side bash, filled to the brim with sophistication. For her reception, Maharani Nirmala changed into a one shouldered, embellished white gown with bombshell hair and makeup by KC Makeup by Karuna Chani. The seaside portraits of the duo are mesmerizing, and Events Capture documented the couple’s playful energy and deep love beautifully. Contrasting the stunningly elaborate ceremony decor by Elegant Affairs was the breezy reception decor featuring an array of white floral arrangements resting on beds of grass. So refreshing! The sunset streamed into the space as Nirmala and Umesh performed an emotional first dance to their adoring onlookers. And guests were in foodie bliss as they devoured flavorful dishes by Sukhadia Caterers. After feasting to their hearts’ delight, partygoers rocked the dance floor to the latest and greatest Bollywood and Top 40 tunes! Events Capture snuck the newlyweds away for some sunset snaps, and we’re loving the golden glow emanating from the couple in these cherished portraits. We’ve created a full gallery of lovely photos by Events Capture so you can bask in all the beauty!

We’ll see you tomorrow Maharanis! Have a wonderful day!

Today, we’re transporting you to paradise with Nirmala and Umesh’s beachy and beautiful Indian wedding celebrations. These two know that Indian weddings + seaside sunshine = heaven! We’re craving a luxurious beach side getaway after perusing these glorious pics by Events Capture. The festivities kicked off in high gear with the couple posing next to vintage DeLorean wheels straight from Back to the Future (who doesn’t love a little throwback to Marty McFly and Doc Brown?). Such incredible portraits! Next, the Indian wedding ceremony began, and we’re swooning over the majestic mandap and florals dreamed up by the talents at Elegant Affairs. With regal columns and an elaborately carved backdrop festooned with chandeliers, the stage setup was out of this world stunning. Gorgeous Maharani Nirmala was beautified by the magic brushes of KC Makeup by Karuna Chani and entered the ceremony space in a sparkling red and yellow lehenga. Her richly embroidered dupatta covered her face, adding to the anticipation in the room. The lovebirds’ ceremony was full of deep traditions and meaning, and the two bounded away from the ceremony in a shower of petals. The newly minted Mr. and Mrs. hopped into their DeLorean and zoomed away from their adoring guests, ready for their reception extravaganza to begin. When we return, we’ll take you into all of Nirmala and Umesh’s reception action, featuring delish catering by Sukhadia Caterers. While you wait, browse the full gallery of snaps by Events Capture.

We’ll be back in a jiffy Maharanis!
