Happy Thursday, darlings! Get ready to be charmed and inspired by Harita & Parth's wedding held at the Royal Albert Palace. Right from the start, we have to say that we adored Harita's look for her wedding! The outfit incorporating golden hues combined with the fantastic hair and makeup designed by BEAUT by FAR made her look flawless. And we cannot forget the artistic Mehndi design she got from Deepti Patel, which added an extra touch of traditional flair to an already jaw-dropping look. Wedding Design and Decor conceptualized this enchanting wedding following the line of beauty and elegance set by our lovely Maharani. The final result: an on-point decor that set the mood for this life-changing moment. And we wish we would have been there as everything looks fantastic. After the wedding ceremony, this event transitioned into a fantastic reception lightened animated by M4U Events. The upbeat melodies, the delicious food prepared by Cakesomenj and Chowpatty Foods, and of course, the dancing were the perfect ending for this lovely celebration. Thankfully, Ami Video captured all the beauty surrounding the entire wedding festivities. And we cannot wait for you to take a glimpse at the complete gallery we have prepared for today! Believe us; every single shot is more enchanting and captivating than the previous one. You'll definitely love it!

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
We met on the dating app “dil mil”. He flew out to see me in Ohio after a few months and he asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yes. After a couple more months of being in a long-distance relationship, we went to Thailand and spent more time with each other which is when I knew he was the one
Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
My parents flew out to jersey and told me they were going to some other state. They all tried to keep it all a secret but I knew something was up. Parth took me to Central Park where the proposal was set up to be. He blind folded me and walked me to the spot and went down on his knees to pop the question and I said yes!
Tell us how you went about planning your wedding, and your overall experience with the Venues, Hair & Makeup, Outfits, Decor Theme, and all of the other important details.
We planned the whole wedding by ourselves without a wedding planner. Parth being a DJ and part of the wedding industry in jersey was a huge help. He knew a lot of the vendors already so it was easy to find good vendors to work with and they were all very excited about this wedding and treated it like their family’s wedding
How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
I was looking at lehengas online. I had a color in mind for sure which was a maroon color. I wanted something royal but not too traditional. Then I went to Bombay and shopped around a few stores and tried on a lot of lehengas. And when I put the one on I instantly fell in love with it at Kalki. All the other ones I tried on after didn’t match the one. So I decided to get that one and it was made to my size in 3 months' time and shipped to New Jersey when it arrived it fit like a glove and I was in love with it all over again
What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
Planning the decor was definitely the most enjoyable because I love artsy stuff. I love designing and making this event look grand and out of the world was my goal which is what Ravi from wedding design and decor did
What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
They loved the decorations, the music, the lighting, and the food. They enjoyed every part of the wedding even tho the weather was not the best. It was cold and rainy but everyone still had a blast
Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
The moment I walked down the aisle to meet parth
For events other than your ceremony, please tell us as much as you would like about the decor, style, dances, and all the special details.
The reception was the start of the whole wedding. When we walked into the room the decor and lighting blew everyone’s minds away. It was so grand and beautiful. Also, the DJ stage which we set to be 6 feet tall seemed like it was a concert instead of a wedding reception. There was so much dancing the dance floor stayed packed for the whole 5 hours that it was open.
Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
Don’t stress about the minor details it will all fall into place. Just remember to take it every moment and enjoy and cherish every memory.

And that is a wrap, dear ladies! Do not forget to come back soon to enjoy more love stories and tips.

Good day, dolls! We are delighted to bring you an insight into Monica & Neil's lovely wedding. This celebration of love was not just elegant but truly faithful to traditional Gujarati weddings. Every small detail contributed to making this event not just classy, but exquisite. Garlands by Kirti and NJP Events & Design designed and executed this life-changing event to perfection, creating a magical and captivating decor that transformed the halls of the Omni Orlando Resort at Champions Gate into a perfect setting for such an important event! The traditional linen colors, combined with the ideal placement of the floral arrangements, were truly amazing! So much beauty could only be overtaken by the looks of our lovely Maharani, who looked ravishing after being pampered by Sumiyah, who took care of her beauty needs. And as if that wasn't enough, Monica's aunt created a fabulous Mehndi that crowned this Maharani's look adding an extra touch of traditional flair to an already flawless look, whereas Gokuls Henna Art helped all the guests with their Mehndi. Truly, this was an amazing ceremony that got captured thanks to the fascinating talent of Sona Photography.

If you want to relive every detail of this celebration, you cannot miss the gallery that we've prepared for today! Enjoy it!

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
I always knew I wanted to go traditional with my wedding lengha. I love the look of a classic red for an Indian wedding and thankfully found the one!

What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
For me, the most enjoyable part of the planning was getting to spend extra quality time with my family. They helped me with all the small details to help planning the larger tasks as well. This time I got to spend with them extra special to me.

What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
Since our wedding was the first event after 2 years (due to the pandemic) both sides of our family was extremely excited to see the extended family and have something to celebrate. This made the celebration extra special and seeing all my family again after so long was amazing!

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
For any future brides I would say to just enjoy the moment! I know how much planning goes into every event and sometimes things don’t go as planned. Don’t stress about the small things and enjoy this time with your family as that is what you will remember when you look back!

Our lovebirds got all the attention a newlywed couple could wish for, courtesy of Indian Destination Wedding. This visionary team has all the experience in South Asian weddings to offer their clients and their expertise in the Caribbean and Mexican area to plan a grand event. With their assistance, our couple found the ideal place for their wedding at Planet Hollywood Cancun, perfect for them and their loved ones to relish in the warm weather of the alluring beach while enjoying their catering services, too. With their faultless music set, Naveen Productions completed the fanciful scenery, surrounding everyone with delightful paradisiac harmonies and even a photo booth for everyone to take home a small reminder of this celebration. Now, Ladies, it is time to glorify the divine bride! Our Maharani looked just as singular with her attire from Panache by Sharmeen. I was speechless when I saw how graceful and luxurious she was! The fantastic mehndi art Neeta Desai Sherma did for her was a work of art, and so was Rema Neirma's makeup work that brought all of Krupa's seamless traits to shine! Of course, the dashing groom was brilliant, too, with his polished garments from Rajwadi. Together, Krupa & Gaurav were a sight to behold. The sweethearts had an unforgettable revelry that Killer Creations Photography and Cinematography framed forever in a picturesque set of photos. Their enchanting work with the camera wholly captured Krupa & Gaurav's love, and for all of my beloved Maharanis, we have a magnificent gallery for you to be inspired by!
