With the lush landscapes of Turnberry Isle Country Club setting the scene, Shivani & Shyon's wedding was nothing short of a modern-day fairytale. This beautiful Indian celebration combined traditional elegance with a vibrant touch, creating an unforgettable experience for everyone. From the emotional first look to the electrifying reception, every moment was a testament to their love story.

Shivani's entrance was a true showstopper. Draped in an intricately designed lehenga and adorned with dazzling mehndi. She walked down the aisle like royalty, making Shyon (and everyone else!) fall in love again. Illusion Mhendi's artistry brought her personality to life in each design detail, making her bridal look uniquely hers. The detailed floral patterns on her fingers and palms highlight her skill and creativity and enhance the emotional depth of this intimate moment. The design has a timeless appeal, blending classic artistry with the warmth and love of the couple's special day. As she approached, you could feel the magic in the air—a blend of passion, tradition, and a touch of Bollywood drama!

From the first look to the last dance, Eventrics Indian Weddings & Events curated a celebration that flowed flawlessly. Their team combined every detail with precision and creativity, ensuring that Shivani & Shyon's big day was as seamless as spectacular. The result? It was a wedding experience that looked effortless (but we all know the magic behind it!) and felt as warm and joyful as the love shared by this incredible couple.

Petal Productions created a floral wonderland, turning the venue into a tropical paradise. With lush greenery and vibrant blooms, every arrangement added a layer of elegance and sophistication to the event. The decor was more than just flowers—it was a work of art highlighting the couple's style and the beauty of their love story.

The reception? A whole new level of epic! Once the formalities were over, DJ Rang turned up the heat, transforming the night into a lively dance party. From Bollywood beats to modern hits, the dance floor was packed with friends and family, each move celebrating the joyous union of Shivani & Shyon. If you weren't dancing, you probably captured it on Instagram—because this reception was a vibe!

No celebration is complete without memories to relive, and Sugarfree Studio was there to capture every fleeting smile, glance, and heartfelt embrace. Their photography perfectly captured Shivani & Shyon's personalities—from the sweet, intimate moments to the laughter-filled shots that genuinely showcase their playful love. And then there was Diego Stuart Films, whose cinematic storytelling made it feel like we were watching a real-life love story unfold on screen. Their work turned this wedding into a timeless masterpiece, preserving every beautiful moment for the years to come.

When high school sweethearts Simran & Ben first locked eyes, they probably never imagined that years later, they'd be locking eyes again—this time under the sun-drenched skies of Cancun, Mexico, surrounded by the turquoise ocean, vibrant floral decor by Palace Productions, and their dearest friends and family. Fast forward to a sunset proposal on the shores of Cancun, where Ben popped the question just in time before his new job whisked them away into adult life. The answer was a resounding yes, and they returned to the same paradise, now as bride and groom, to say "I do"!

The stage was set at Moon Palace Cancun, where the skilled hands of Pyaar Planning transformed the venue into a dreamscape, blending tropical charm with cultural elegance. Guests were greeted with a burst of colors, intricate floral arrangements, and the unmistakable beats of Drums in Paradise kicking off the baraat in a truly epic style—think Bollywood meets beach vibes, with a hint of Hollywood glam. With a lineup of dances at the Sangeet and heartfelt speeches at the reception, the night was a whirlwind of laughter, tears, and the clinking of glasses. Friends and family lit up the dance floor, and for most of Ben's American friends, this was their first attempt at Indian dance—trust us, the videos will be cherished (and maybe a little teased) for years to come! Simran's excitement for her friends' moves was contagious; let's just say even the palm trees swayed along! 

Indian Destination Wedding, Inc. played a pivotal role in bringing Simran & Ben's dream wedding in Cancun to life, and it's easy to see why they're a top choice for couples planning South Asian destination weddings. With a reputation for seamless execution and personalized service, they coordinated the travel, accommodations, and unique cultural requirements that made Simran & Ben's wedding a spectacular experience for all who attended. Saptapadi Studios has truly outdone itself with Simran & Ben's wedding, capturing each moment with an artistic flair that brings their love story to life. The photos reveal the studio's expertise in blending traditional South Asian wedding aesthetics with modern romantic elements. The way they captured Simran's intricate mehndi designs and her soft smiles, alongside Ben's admiration-filled glances, highlights their intimate connection.

If Simran could give future brides a tip, it'd be to cherish every second because the day goes by faster than you can say, "Shaadi Mubarak"!

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
We met in high school and have been inseparable since!

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
In early September 2022, Ben was offered a job starting in December. We quickly realized that our tentative winter break plans would no longer be feasible, and our next vacation wouldn’t be for another year. And so, we planned a last-minute trip to Cancun. On the first evening of the trip, September 29th, Ben proposed!

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.
When we started searching for wedding venues, we kept thinking back to the breathtaking views of Cancun, where Ben proposed. So we thought, what better way to celebrate than to bring our friends and family to Cancun! We worked with Indian Destination Weddings (s/o to Ateet and his unmatched responsiveness!) and Pyaar Planning to bring our wedding visions to life. The styling trio did my hair and makeup, and they were fantastic!

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
We did most of our wedding shopping in my birth city, Amritsar, Punjab, in October 2023. I knew from the start that I wanted a pink lengha. When I tried this one on, I immediately knew it was the one!

What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
The site visit! We loved walking through the venues at Moon Palace and getting an idea of how our plans would come to life. We also loved taste-testing items from our customized menus. We were fortunate to do the site visit with our families and planners, and it was a blast!

Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
We exchanged our vows and wedding bands at our first look the morning of the ceremony, at a small patio near the shore. It was absolutely perfect!

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.
We absolutely loved watching all the dance performances that our friends and family did at Sangeet Night and Reception. For most of our American friends, this was the first time they were doing an Indian dance, and they did great!

Anything else you want to tell us? We'd love to hear all about your other details! (jewelry, mehndi, venue, cake, bouquets, etc.)

Lights, camera, action! Get ready to dive into the grand spectacle of #harshharshmiloni—an Indian wedding that took the shores of Cancun. Picture this: The tranquil waves of the Caribbean gently crashing onto the sandy beach, a soft breeze swaying palm trees in the distance. Enter Miloni, the bride of our dreams, in a breathtaking red lehenga adorned with intricate gold embroidery. It shimmered as she walked, as if each thread had a story to tell. Her regal jewelry added just the right sparkle, so why not blind your audience with some severe bridal bling?

And then, there's Harsh. The dashing groom looked like a royal vision in his light cream sherwani and peach-colored turban. His outfit perfectly complemented Miloni's, proving that true love is color-coordinated. The moment Miloni & Harsh locked eyes during their first look? If this were a Bollywood movie, we'd all cry in the theater. Every great love story has a plot twist, and this one's no different. After a traditional ceremony that would make even the gods weep joyfully, the newlyweds took the celebration to the reception. The dance floor shimmered under twinkling lights, and DJ Sunny P was spinning beats with everyone on their feet, from grandma to the cousin who "doesn't dance."

None of this grandeur would've been possible without the magic touch of Moksha Weddings, who designed and planned every detail perfectly. Navita x Makeup gave Miloni her radiant bridal glow, while Federico Salmeron Photography was there to capture every tear, laugh, and secret glance (and trust us, there were many). Saptapadi Weddings handled the videography, turning this dream day into a cinematic masterpiece that the couple can relive forever. Indian Destination Wedding, Inc. ensured the journey was as smooth as the tequila shots the guests were sneaking during cocktail hour. And let's not forget the venue—Moon Palace Cancun provided the luxurious, beachfront backdrop and mouth-watering catering that had everyone reaching for seconds (and thirds).
