Maharanis, we are so excited to share Safiyah & Rizaad’s elegant wedding with you today! The celebration was photographed beautifully by Arman Bappy Photography, with the ceremony taking place in the scenic World Fair Marina where guests had stunning views of the promenade and airplanes landing. We loved the unique purple and orange theme chosen for the festivities - so unique! Planning and design was perfectly executed by G&R Décor and Event House, with floral and decor from Metropolitan Wholesale. The bride, Safiyah, was one of the most magnificent brides we’ve ever seen, wearing an opulent white wedding gown, with a billowing train, gorgeous veil, and sparkling jewelry from David's Bridal NYC. Her hair and makeup was done by Leyya Pootoolal, with beautiful mehndi designs by Henna by Yukti. She truly radiated beauty throughout the events! Rizaad also looked dapper in an impeccably tailored tuxedo, which he accessorized with a purple bow tie and a rose boutonniere. Their stage, designed by G&R Décor and Event House, was richly draped with gold and purple fabrics, and created the perfect backdrop for the striking couple to get married. Mahria Shah provided the music for the event, with Infinity Concepts & Promotions providing the wedding stationery. Join us later this morning for more from Safiyah & Rizaad’s ceremony! In the meantime, click the link below to view the full gallery!

Welcome back Maharanis! We are seriously in awe after checking out Anjali & Gopind's reception photos captured by Aaron Watson Photography. The reception details are some of the most thoughtful and beautiful we've ever seen. We are especially in love with the candy and dessert bar, featuring lollipop bouquets, giant bowls of lemon drops and other sweets, an elegant tiered white and gold cake, and a donut food cart (!) by Maliha Creations and Carpe Donut. The delicious food was catered by the incredible Bollywood Bistro and guests raved about the flavor and variety of the dishes. Evelyn Keys helped the couple plan and design the event, with Couture Design providing the floral and decor for The Castle Hill Cider venue.  Anjali stunned once again in a navy and gold lehenga from Studio East6, with gorgeous henna by Henna Harmony and hair and makeup by The Beautique by Sapna. Ravi Jackson provided incredible music that kept guests on their feet under twinkling fairy lights and glamorous chandeliers all night long. Check out the entire Pinterest-worthy gallery and we promise you'll receive so much inspiration for your future wedding events!

We will see you on Tuesday Maharanis - Have a fabulous long weekend!

Morning Maharanis! We’re in such a great mood after taking a look at this charming and impeccably planned wedding with photos captured by Aaron Watson Photography and cinematography by Ian’s Creations. The beautiful couple, Anjali & Gopind, pulled off a wedding that was a complete feast for the eyes, filled with the most thoughtful details. Evelyn Keys was the incredible designer and planner for the event, with Couture Design providing the beautiful floral and decor, and A Royal Impression providing the stationary and invitations. The Castle Hill Cider venue was perfect for the wedding, with the ceremony taking place on the lush outdoor grounds and the following reception taking place in a rustic indoor space, decked out with elegant chandeliers and florals. Maharani Anjali was a vision throughout her ceremony, in a vibrant orange and green sari from Studio East6, henna perfectly applied by Henna Harmony, and hair and makeup by Sapna Desai. She and her groom radiated happiness throughout the outdoor ceremony, and were whisked away in a sleek BMW convertible once the ceremony concluded. Join us later today to take a peek into their stunning reception which is bursting with inspirational touches for all you brides-to-be! In the meantime, check out the complete gallery below!

For her wedding reception, the bride went into full bridal mode after being glammed up by Anum. The party attire of choice was a brimming hot pink dress that was the perfect choice of the night. Wedding Design’s floral backdrop was the epitome of class and royalty with each photo just brimming with sheer elegance. Sheraton Mahwah Hotel was the place to be! Guests snacked on delectable treats baked to perfection by ChocaL8kiss. Moghul Caterers dished up Indian cuisine with patrons scrambling for seconds. DJ Vik Events rocked the whole night away with guests jam packed on the dance floor. Pearls Event and Co. planned and designed the perfect set of events and ended the night on a magical note! Mou Mukherjee of PhotosMadeEz has personally shot (both live and still) and gathered the memories of the night and you can find them all in the gallery.

Hello Maharanis! Today’s wedding celebration will make you believe in love over and over again. The love between Sunita and Vishal is uncanny; this loving relationship just jumps at us through the screens! As the big day came closer, it was evident that a wedding planner would need to come in tote. Sunita brought on Pearls Event and Co. to spearhead the important task of creating the ultimate dream team. Deepti Desai hand designed some serious gorgeous henna designs as is apparent in these photos captured by photography masters PhotosMadeEz. The baraat made quite the appearance with a regal horse from Equishare Baraat Horses leading the way into the Sheraton Mahwah Hotel. The venue was decorated by Wedding Design who create a romantic ambiance in the spacious quarters. The bride and groom exchanged their vows in an intimate Indian ceremony. After the wedding commenced, the bride and groom left the venue in style - a personal helicopter from Wings Air Helicopters! A lot more images await in the gallery!

We head into the reception with DJ Vik Events at the turntable and fine dining with Moghul Caterers! See you in a flash!
