Picture this: golden sands, a turquoise ocean, and a love story that feels straight out of a Bollywood blockbuster. Shabnam & Kynan took their "I dos" to the breathtaking shores of Los Cabos, MX, crafting an Indian wedding that blended timeless tradition with modern elegance. From a dazzling Sangeet to a camel-led baraat (yes, you read that right!), every moment was an explosion of color, culture, and major #weddinggoals.

If destination weddings had a fairy godmother, it would be Indian Destination Wedding. They worked magic to ensure guests had a seamless, stress-free experience from flights to resorts and everything in between. Because let's face it—getting married in paradise is a dream, but coordinating travel for a South Asian wedding? That's next-level logistics.

The wedding festivities kicked off at Garza Blanca Cabo, where the Sangeet & Reception were nothing short of a spectacle. Shabnam stunned in an ethereal lehenga, twirling to the beats of DJ Alexander Ayala, while Kynan proved he could match her energy on the dance floor. We knew we were in for a treat if this was just the beginning. A wedding this spectacular called for a bridal look that was nothing short of perfection. Enter Styling Trio, the experts behind Shabnam’s flawless hair and makeup. They crafted a radiant look that enhanced her natural beauty, from the perfect dewy glow to cascading waves that flowed effortlessly in the ocean breeze.

Now, let's talk about that camel-led baraat because Kynan's entrance was anything but ordinary. Thanks to Cabo Fun Tours, he made his way to the mandap in full regal fashion, looking like a modern-day Maharaja. With Jerry Mala Rumba setting the beats, guests danced their hearts out on the sandy aisle, proving that a beachside baraat might just be the ultimate wedding flex.

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Pacific, Shabnam & Kynan exchanged vows under a floral wonderland designed by Aria Vera Floral. With Pundit Jagdish Trivedi officiating, the ceremony was filled with heartfelt traditions and emotional moments. No wedding this stunning would be complete without a photographer who could do it justice, and Ximena Zermeño was the visionary behind the lens. Her ability to capture raw emotions, golden-hour glows, and those perfect candid moments turned Shabnam & Kynan's wedding into an everlasting work of art. From the vibrant baraat to the intimate stolen glances between the couple, every image tells a story of love, celebration, and sheer magic.

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
Our first date was truly unforgettable! We both enjoy staying active, so it was only natural that we met at an indoor rock climbing and bouldering gym in Atlanta. There was an immediate connection. We enjoyed getting to know each other and bonded over our British and Welsh upbringings as well as our love of food. I still recall Kynan's playful quip as we signed the bouldering consent form, "It's time to sign our lives away!" Little did we know that lighthearted moment foreshadowed our future, as we indeed signed our marriage license years later. From the very beginning, I felt an extraordinary sense of peace and comfort in his presence. And yes, I must confess, I was also charmed by the impeccable cleanliness of his car, his neatly hung dry-cleaning, fully stocked kitchen, and worldly knowledge – a glimpse into his dynamic and responsible nature. Every interaction we had following our first date strengthened the feelings we were both developing. I knew he was "the one" when he arranged a surprise couples massage after a long work week and showed me the stylish baby Zara clothes he bought for his friend's newborn. He is, without a doubt, the most considerate and thoughtful man I know, a quality that shines brighter with each passing day.

A whisper of anticipation fluttered within me as Memorial Day weekend approached. Kynan, with his characteristic air of delightful mystery, had asked me to request time off. In the months leading up to this, he dropped hints, playfully leading me astray from his intended plans. He orchestrated a pampering session with my dearest girlfriends, a prelude to our adventure, and instructed me to pack for five days while still leaving my destination unknown. Naturally, my overpacking instincts kicked into high gear! He handled every detail with effortless grace, from checking me in, to escorting me through the airport from gate to gate (another distraction tactic), until we were finally boarding a flight to Boston! This city holds a treasure trove of cherished memories for us, a testament to our enduring love during two years of long-distance while I completed my surgical fellowship training and MPH degree at Harvard. We checked in to the Fairmont in Copley Plaza, across from my old apartment in Back Bay. We spent the day revisiting our favorite city sights and reliving the milestones of our journey. Kynan proposed along the Charles River at our favorite hammock spot. Our celebration continued at Tresca in the North End (another special place for us), and the joy was amplified the following day with the arrival of my sister. It was a weekend woven with romance, nostalgia, and the promise of a beautiful future together.

What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
For two introverted souls seeking a genuine connection, our wedding weekend was designed to celebrate love while honoring the comfort of our cherished guests. Our beautiful wedding venue, Garza Blanca, is culinary all-inclusive with delicious food, luxurious amenities, and an intimate feel. We intentionally crafted a leisurely schedule, and some of our favorite memories from the weekend include casual run-ins with our loved ones around the hotel grounds. Our guests loved having time to explore the resort and all that Los Cabos has to offer. Many guests arrived early and stayed after the wedding festivities. Guests embarked on adventures ranging from thrilling spear-fishing and jet skiing to serene cruises alongside the iconic Cabo Arch. Couples celebrated their blossoming families with "baby moons," while family members were able to spend quality time together and reunite with loved ones from abroad. Witnessing our loved ones create their own cherished memories while celebrating ours was truly the ultimate gift – a perfect blend of celebration and serene escape.

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
It sounds cliche, but savor every moment! Stay true to yourself and what you envision, and don't sweat the small stuff. While there are definitely stressful parts to wedding planning, and people won't always see eye-to-eye throughout the process, it really does all work out in the end. Looking back, I cherish the unexpected gift of connection that wedding planning afforded me. My mother, though physically distant, was a constant presence, joining virtually for almost every Zoom call with planners and vendors. Since moving away from home, our time together has become a treasured commodity. Sharing the excitement and anticipation of this momentous occasion strengthened our bond in a way I hadn't anticipated.

A dreamy blend of tradition, luxury, and beachfront magic, leaving us all in awe! See you soon.

If fairy tales were written in the language of vibrant lehengas, heartwarming traditions, and a dance floor that saw more energy than a Bollywood blockbuster, Prita & Vishal's wedding would be the ultimate best-seller. Hosted in the heart of Orlando, FL, this multi-day Indian celebration blended regal elegance with the warmth of cherished traditions, all set against the opulent backdrop of The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes. With its sprawling estate, lush green landscapes, and impeccable service, this venue perfectly blended luxury and cultural grandeur. Every corner of the Ritz was transformed into a breathtaking scene, from the ethereal outdoor ceremony setup to the grand ballroom reception, proving once again why it remains a top choice for couples seeking an unparalleled wedding experience.

A wedding like this deserved to be immortalized in every dazzling frame, and Love Like Wild LLC did just that. From Prita's breathtaking bridal portraits to the groom's grand baraat entrance (cue the dhols and the ultimate hype squad), each image is a testament to the day's magic. Their lens didn't just capture moments; it bottled emotions, energy, and the love that radiated from every corner of the celebration.

The wedding was flawlessly orchestrated by Rae Nicole Events, ensuring every detail, from the floral archways to the luxurious seating, reflected the couple's vision. Every guest left with their hearts full, their feet sore from dancing, and their camera rolls flooded with snapshots of the most unforgettable wedding weekend.

Before their grand Hindu wedding, Prita & Vishal honored their roots with a traditional Sikh ceremony at the Sikh Society of Central Florida. This intimate yet deeply spiritual affair left everyone in awe. And because one magical venue wasn't enough, the couple's wedding soiree took place at the stunning Shah Residence, where the golden glow of candlelight, the richness of red and gold florals, and a glamorous stage created a scene straight out of a royal celebration.

Prita's bridal look was nothing short of spectacular. Adorned in an exquisitely embroidered lehenga, she looked like she had walked straight out of a Sabyasachi campaign. Her A Touch of Fierce glam squad ensured her hair, makeup, and bridal glow were nothing less than perfection. And let's not forget the artistry of Amrita Henna, who adorned Prita's hands with intricate mehndi designs that told their love story in swirls and paisleys.

If anyone knows how to make an entrance, it's Vishal. Rolling up with his energetic baraat led by Awaaz Entertainment, the groom smiled (and made a few dance moves) as he made his way to his bride. The night continued with an epic reception with jaw-dropping décor by Simply the Best Creations, a dreamy sweetheart stage, and a candlelit ambiance that exuded pure romance. The dance floor? It was electric. And when Vishal twirled Prita in her dazzling gold reception ensemble, it was a moment straight out of a Bollywood climax.

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
I was at his house one day and randomly stumbled upon a book he had called "Loving Someone with Anxiety" and immediately started to cry. I do struggle with anxiety and the fact that someone was willing to love me and accept my anxiety and figure out how to be better for me truly touched my heart. I was very used to hearing that my anxiety was something I had to fix and 'get rid of' so the fact that he truly loved me - for me - was amazing!

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
He did a great job with the proposal. I own a condo on a beautiful lake. That lake is my favorite place in the world and it has a peaceful dock. At the time of the proposal, I had rented it out. Vish somehow got a hold of the tenant and convinced him to lie to me, sending me a text that a break-in had occurred at the condo. We were on our way to dinner to meet friends, so we had to make a u-turn and go to the condo. Once at the condo, I couldn't find the tenant. Everything outside the condo looked fine and normal. I got very worried the robber had kidnapped my tenant and was holding him hostage in my condo. As my freakout worsened, Vish told me to calm down, and that we should go to the lake and wait for the police there. Calm down is the worst thing you can say to someone who's freaking out! So I decided to try to open the door and that's when he pulled me back and said that today was not the day I would be superwoman, that this was way too dangerous and we needed to back off. He literally dragged me to the lake while I screamed and cursed him out. I couldn't understand how he didn't think this was a serious situation! Internally, I started doubting how I could love such an insensitive person. I must have figured everything wrong about him! As we got to the dock, I noticed a bouquet of flowers on the bench and then I realized what was about to happen. Vish had to set up this wild story because he knew there was no way he'd be able to get me to my favorite place in the world without me suspecting anything. He got down on one knee while a photographer hid in a nearby boat and captured the moment. It was incredibly sweet and romantic! He then took me to dinner, where we were supposed to meet our friend and when we got there, I saw that all my friends and family were there, waiting to celebrate us!

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.
It was a dream come true wedding at our local Gurdwara for the Sikh Ceremony, at our family's house for the Mehndi night and at the Ritz for the Hindu Ceremony and dinner reception. It was a perfect mix of a local home vibe mixed with an out of this world romantic glamour vibe.

The customer service at the Ritz was above and beyond. Chef Jayshree has her own signature Indian fusion dishes, and she's based locally in Orlando. She caters to all the Indian weddings at Ritz hotels across the country, and we were so lucky to have her do our reception food. It was delicious and a nice break from all the other Indian food we'd been eating at all the other events - while also still being Indian enough for those who love their traditional Indian meals! The atmosphere at the Ritz was also incredible. It was impeccable!

My hair and makeup team were the dream team, and were able to change over my looks, from top to bottom, with just 30 minutes to do so between looks. They were able to incorporate my vision while also gently encouraging me to take some risks that made my looks completely unique. My Sikh ceremony look was traditional, while for Mehndi night they turned me into a modern Barbie doll! My Hindu ceremony look was epic, they turned me into a royal queen, and for my reception look, turned down the drama into a soft and romantic gold shimmery Belle look. I didn't have to ask to change anything; all my hair and makeup lasted throughout every event, and the best part was that I still looked like me at the end of the day!

My photographer was incredible and was always there for me. Anytime I needed them for a photo, they were there. They understood my vision and went above and beyond to make sure they captured the shots I wanted. They had snacks on hand in case we needed anything as well and also handled our guests with such grace. I'll never forget how at the Gurdwara, all I wanted was a break. Our photographer pulled us away from our guests, tucked us into a study room, gave us water, and had us stay there for 5 minutes so we could get a breather - all while telling our guests we would be right back. I didn't have to ask for this, they could just tell and simply knew. They really went above and beyond to make sure we had a super special day and that they captured that day too.

Our theme was England Garden, and everything was very beautiful and natural with a lot of browns, greens and red-red roses. It wasn't a big over the top wedding, it was intimate and romantic. The one thing we wanted every guest to feel was loved, and I really think that's what was experienced.

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
I really like traditions. I love celebrating them and creating my own! We had a Sikh ceremony at the Gurdwara, and I wore bright red. For the Mehndi, I wanted to go completely against tradition and wore white with pastels and mirrors. The Hindu ceremony outfit was my favorite and was a deeper red and green. To change things up, I did two dupattas, with a green one on my head. I love how that look turned out. It was a great mix of traditional and modern. For reception, I was all gold! I had a lot of fun with my hair and makeup team changing up the looks to match each outfit. For the Hindu ceremony, my makeup artist wanted my look to be a bit more edgy, and she used dark green eyeliner in my waterline. I like taking fun risks like that. I think everything turned out beautifully!

What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
Doing it with my husband by my side. We were both equally involved, and I felt so grateful for his support! This truly was both of our weddings :)

Oh - and the food tasting was awesome! The team at the Ritz really made sure we enjoyed everything and left with very full bellies! As we left, I took a deep breath, taking in the incredible scent they had flowing through the Ritz. I said, "I wish my house smelled like this." Moments later, their event coordinator came out with gift bags for me, my mom, and my mother-in-law. We all got candles of the Ritz scent so we could burn them at home! They made us feel so special!

What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
Everyone knows that the only thing guests care about is food, booze, and music, haha! I will say though that our guests also had a great time. Everything was very well planned and we got a lot of compliments on the timelines of each event (it wasn't Indian Standard) as well as how little time was wasted. There were a lot of breaks and time for people to chill out and relax between events. The mandate photos went smoothly, and we captured everyone in under 30 minutes! Our wedding planner did a great job planning each second out!

I think the guests could tell how much my husband and I loved each other during the events as well. Our love for each other came out in different ways - from the wedding and reception entrances to the speeches. The speeches were so heartfelt, even I was moved to tears. I also wrote a song for my husband and sang it for him at the reception. That was his and everyone else's first time hearing it, so that was very special.

Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
We aren't dancers, so every time we practiced our first dance, we were making mistakes. It got to a point where we said it was ok if we made a mistake during the actual performance because we just couldn't manage to nail it. When it was showtime, somehow, we actually did the whole dance without any mistakes! We just looked at each other in disbelief and felt so accomplished at the end of the performance! It was like we had just won a gold medal together! Best moment ever!

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.
Our friends and family put together a great 5-minute Punjabi/Gujarati dance mashup. The best part was the end when everyone joined flashmob style! It was great to see my coworkers absolutely killing it on the dancefloor and dancing to Bollywood!

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
You have to really tune out the outside voices and do what is best for you. You're never going to make everyone happy, and someone will always feel left out, someone will always find the food too cold or spicy and someone will always think you did something wrong and now your marriage will be cursed.

Everything happens very fast, so make sure you take moments to enjoy your partner and plan in moments to have some time just the two of you. Remember - this is just one day. Don't sweat the small stuff and put all that energy into your relationship and make sure it is healthy and nourishing. That is much more important than any wedding detail.

Anything else you want to tell us? We'd love to hear all about your other details! (jewelry, mehndi, venue, cake, bouquets, etc.)
My husband is Hindu and I am Sikh. A special memory that comes to my mind is how all the men in his family got their Pugries tied for our Sikh Ceremony. I felt so loved and appreciated that I wanted to celebrate our customs with us and didn't shy away from it. Also, Vishal's cousin Ami did something very special for me. My Naniji is 90 years old and is bedridden. She couldn't attend any of the festivities. When we were doing Mehndi at home for the family, Ami took one of the cones and put mehndi on my Naniji's hands so that she could also be a part of the wedding celebrations. It really moved my heart that his family did all this for me and my family. I felt so loved!

This was more than a wedding—it was a royal celebration to remember.

There are weddings, and then there's Amy & JD's wedding—a breathtaking blend of tradition, modern elegance, and pure joy. Hosted in the vibrant city of Tampa, FL, this South Asian wedding was nothing short of a grand Bollywood spectacle, with every detail designed to dazzle.

Regarding capturing love in its purest form, Andrew Do Photography was nothing less than magical. Every frame tells a story, from the intimate stolen glances to the wild dance floor moments with guests partying like there was no tomorrow. Andrew's ability to balance vibrant tradition with contemporary elegance made each shot a timeless piece of art—scroll through the photos, and you'll feel like you were right there!

Amy was a vision in her bridal ensemble—graceful, radiant, and owning that red lengha moment. JD, not to be outdone, rocked his traditional sherwani with the kind of swag only a groom in love can carry. Together, they were the picture of elegance, proving that love (and great fashion sense) is all you need! Beauty Marked worked their magic to complete her bridal glow, ensuring Amy looked flawless from ceremony to reception. The perfect makeup and hair styling enhanced her natural beauty and complemented her stunning attire seamlessly.

Turning a vision into reality is no small feat, but In Style Events took the challenge head-on, crafting an affair that was equal parts regal and relaxed. With the stunning Tampa Garden Club as the ceremony venue, lush floral arrangements from Royal Events & Services, and jaw-dropping decor that blended classic Indian aesthetics with modern finesse, the ambiance was a total showstopper. Think twinkling fairy lights, rich jewel tones, and an aisle straight out of Maharani's dream. Once the vows were exchanged, it was time to turn up the volume—and oh, did they! With an impeccable setup from On the Move Productions, the reception was transformed into a glamorous wonderland.

As JD made his grand baraat entrance, the energy was electric. Decked out in white and gold, he danced into the crowd's hearts while DJ Raman Singh kept the beats pumping. Amy's entrance was nothing short of cinematic—every eye was on her as she walked down the aisle, the sun catching the intricate embroidery of her outfit just right. It was the kind of moment that gave you goosebumps!

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
JD proposed in St. Augustine, which was really special because that was where we went on our first trip together as a couple. During that first trip, we had planned to visit the fort but never actually made it inside. Instead, we ended up sitting on a wall overlooking the water, and that’s where JD told me he loved me for the first time.

Almost two years later, he suggested we go back for a weekend trip. I had a feeling a proposal might be coming, but I wasn’t entirely sure. This time, we finally explored the fort, walking through and taking everything in. Afterward, we made our way back to that same spot by the water. And that’s where he got down on one knee. It was such a full-circle moment!

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
I actually came across my bridal lehenga designer, Label Neha Sinha, on Instagram a few years ago (@labelnehasinha). I followed her work for a while and loved seeing her grow, so when it was finally time to pick my lehenga, I reached out to her.

I did try on a few lehengas at two different stores in New York, but none of them gave me that “Say Yes to the Dress” moment. So, I went back to Neha, and we started working together to bring my dream lehenga to life. I always knew I wanted to wear red, and she helped bring that vision to life. She involved me in every step—starting with sketches, then the sample kali, and finally the full piece. She also designed JD's sherwani and even incorporated embroidery from my lehenga into his outfit, which made it feel even more special.

When my lehenga finally arrived, I tried it on and just knew. The craftsmanship, the fit—everything was perfect, and I finally had my moment. I’m usually the kind of person who has to try things on a million times before deciding, but this was the one time I fully trusted the process. And I’m so glad I did!

What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
While the planning process was definitely a lot of work, the most rewarding part was that JD was just as involved as I was. It truly was a 50-50 effort and having him by my side made everything more manageable and enjoyable. We got to make decisions together and share in the excitement, which made the whole experience feel more special.

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
My biggest piece of advice would be to remember that, at the end of the day, it's about celebrating your love and the people you care about. The little details might feel huge in the moment, but try not to stress too much over things that won't necessarily be noticed. And most importantly, don’t forget to enjoy the process—you’ll look back on it as a special time, so make sure to savor it with the people you love.

Maharanis, their big day was filled with vibrant energy, stunning decor, and joyful moments. Enjoy!

When blending tradition with a sprinkle of modern magic, Jill & Paras' wedding in Orlando, Florida, took the crown (and maybe a couple of hearts). This was not just a wedding but an experience—a mesmerizing tale of vibrant colors, heartfelt traditions, and timeless elegance that could make even a Bollywood director take notes.

Jill's walk down to Paras during their first look moment was cinematic. Jill was the epitome of elegance, dressed in a fiery red bridal lengha that seemed to glow with every intricate embroidery detail.
