The Westin Princeton at Forrestal Village is hosting a night to remember for Pooja and Ravi, and this reception planned by Platinum Dream Events, was captured in gorgeous detail by the photographers from MaxPhoto NY! Stylish Events decked out the party space in stunning floral and decor work and DJ Raj Entertainment & Event Lighting flooded the room with coral-colored uplighting and starry dance floor lights that complemented the Indian bride's reception lengha. Maharani Pooja was the picture of perfection, her hair and makeup by Singhar by Ayesha, impeccably styled. She and Ravi treated their guests to a catered feast of Indian fare from Moghul Caterers, and you can check out the rest of their extraordinary evening in the complete gallery!

Maharani Pooja, on her and Raja Ravi's first dance:

"Our first dance song was an oldie but a goodie- Pehla nasha from Jo Jeeta wohi Sikandar. My Husband & I love listening to Indian music & this one was one of our Favorites so it wasn't really a hard choice to make."

On the role her family and friends played:

"Weddings are always a family affair & our families helped us out a lot!!!! There were so many minute details that we tend to miss while trying to look at the big picture, that's where our family stepped in. They made sure that our guests were comfortable, well fed and were enjoying the events just as much as we were. Another big help we had were our coordinators- Platinum Dream Events, they were crucial to the success of our Big Day. On the Day of your wedding you just don't want to be bothered with things that go wrong, that could ruin your day & you definitely don't want to be stressed. PDE's team were so hands on every detail that needed to be taken care of or needed to be supervised that it allowed us & our families to sit back and enjoy the events a little. I would highly recommend the future brides & grooms to get Day of coordinators for their weddings so that they & their families can be a little less stressed."

Have a gorgeous weekend, Maharanis! We'll meet you back here on Monday!

Akbar Sayed Photography captured some stunning Maharani style from Sehar and Asad's South Asian wedding celebration in Washington, D.C., and before the two lovebirds celebrated their union abroad the Odyssey Cruises, they posed for some striking wedding portraits that showcased their fabulous fashion sense. Masooma Hussain flawlessly finished Sehar's makeup, and the blushing bride wore an incredibly stunning white gown of lace and tulle that had the most gorgeous full skirt. The Raja of her dreams was dashing as can be in his black tux, and the bridal party was a lovely vision in lavender dresses. We love the peek that Sehar gave the camera of her mehndi and peep-toe pumps too! If you missed out on any of the pre-wedding perfection from the happy couple's mehndi celebration, which featured fantastic decor by Sarah Khan Event Styling, you can check that all out in the complete gallery, plus even more from this wedding portrait session in Washington, D.C.!

Maharani Sejal, on her reception style:

"For the reception, we wanted to incorporate our engagement story and had an Aladdin theme. I always wanted to use purple and teal as my colors for my reception and the Aladdin theme fit perfectly. We purchased genie lamps for place card holders and made our own table number cards with Aladdin and Jasmine's silhouettes and purple and teal sequins. We also used Moroccan lamps for centerpieces. Our cake from Palermo's Bakery had purple and teal ribbons and an Aladdin and Jasmine cake topper. We had a great time planning the reception and being creative with our theme."

That's where I leave you today, my dears. Let's meet back here again tomorrow for some extraordinary Maharani style and more wedding fun!
