The bride, on what she enjoyed most about planning her dream wedding:

"Working with my amazing vendors! My photographers (Veroa Foto) were from Spain and they were a joy to work with, my wedding planner Therese Cole Hubbs (Electric Karma) was fantastic, my DJ was incredible (DJ Yogi), I loved my decorator (Mandap Creations)
Most of all, it was wonderful to see how many people one wedding brings together - having all of our family and friends in one spot during final stages of planning + the actual day of was incredible special."

On choosing the perfect reception outfit:

"My reception lenhga was Anju Modi; Anju Modi's pieces blend tradition and modernity exquisitely, and I felt like I was wearing a work of art - I loved my lehnga because it had keys on it, and I thought it played up the whimsical nature of the entire event."

On her and her Raja's first dance song selection:

"We danced to Luke Bryan's Play it Again. It's a gorgeous country jam - I LOVE country music and I introduced Rajan to it once we started dating."

Today's Indian bride just got hitched to the Raja of her dreams in a fusion wedding to remember at the San Mateo Marriott in Silicon Valley, California. It's time for us to take a look at some of the details from her memorable reception, though I know your mind is probably still on all of the amazing mehndi work by Singar Studio in the previous post. If you're late to the party and haven't seen what I'm talking about yet, check it out! Now, let's get down to business — the business of partying. Elle Jae Photography captured some of the gorgeous post-ceremony details including our Maharani's spectacular champagne and burgundy reception gown. Her new hubby is a dashing delight in his grey suit and classic black bow tie. The ballroom has been transformed with a wash of periwinkle lights on the walls and luscious centerpieces of hydrangeas surrounded by gold tea lights and chargers on the tables. A most elegant and royal choice for this Princess! The wedding cake is a spectacularly sweet creation complete with an elephant and columns that literally elevate it to the next level. For everything you need to know from this unforgettable event, make your way to the complete gallery.

Have an amazing weekend and we'll see you on Monday!
