After a lovely sangeet/mehndi event, Preeti and Gaurav’s festivities were in full swing! The couple and their guests were ready for the sophisticated ceremony at the Washington Dulles Airport Marriott. Maharani Preeti started the ceremonial proceedings in a pristine ceremony lehenga that made her look positively angelic! Preeti embodied the picture perfect bride in her ruby red lehenga accessorized with a variety of bling (including a fabulous set of kalire!) and a perfectly pinned dupatta that we are drooling over. Maharanis, this wedding contains so many delectable fashion moments, so check out the full gallery for so much inspo. We are huge fans of mixing colors and bridal styles throughout wedding celebrations; the more varied the fashions, the more memorable the events and the photos turn out. Adding to Preeti’s glow was her ravishing hair and makeup by Bridal Elegance by Suman and swirling henna designs. Bridal Elegance by Suman Khosla brought their magic brushes to ensure that Preeti sparkled like a diamond! Raja Gaurav looked dapper as well as he gazed at his gorgeous and fiesty bride with pride and amor. The love between the two seems to emanate from each and every ceremony pic by Titu Photography. Check out the full gallery for all the romantic action shots!

Have a super sweet Wednesday loves!

Preeti and Gaurav had a bold and beautiful Indian wedding that lasted for over a month, taking place in lovely Dulles, VA as well as India. The celebrations kicked off with their vibrant Sangeet event at Silk Restaurant, followed by tons of nonstop wedding fun! Sparkling, jewel toned decor drenched their picture perfect events, with lush draping and rainbow hued umbrella by Silk Party Decor surrounding the festivities. We are obsessed with Maharani Preeti’s sophisticated and vivacious fashions throughout the celebrations. She looked positively breathtaking in her fresh and breezy mint Sangeet ensemble and bombshell hair and makeup. She glammed up the look with ornate, geometric jewelry, a side swept fishtail braid, and mesmerizing henna. We were swooning with happiness over these joyful Sangeet photos. We love to see the bride and groom having such a blast on the dance floor. Preeti and Gaurav obviously have such a fun time together wherever they are! Bask in all the Sangeet pizzazz with these vibrant photos by Stylish Click. In our next post, Preeti cranked up the color in a ruby red ceremony lehenga and Bollywood goddess makeup by Bridal Elegance by Suman Khosla.

Ritu and Andrew’s Indian fusion reception at Sheraton Harrisburg Hershey Hotel was chock-full of bridal inspiration. We are big fans of mixing dramatic sunset hues with golden Indian accents, and Mandaps by Dhoom combined these two concepts seamlessly for the reception decor. The royal furniture and hundreds of flickering candles against pink and navy chiffon draping was a gorgeous contrast. Guests jumped for joy when Ritu and Andrew made their grand reveal. Ritu was a vision in a beautiful navy lehenga with jewel toned floral accents, delicate kundan jewelry and picture-perfect beauty details by Makeup by Chelsea, and Andrew was as dapper as could be a fitted tux. After the sweet and joyful ceremony, Ritu and Andrew were ready to get the party started at their reception soiree. The newlyweds were a breathtaking couple as they swept across the ballroom for their emotional first dance. Kudos to Bridal and Events for planning such an incredible weekend with the lovely couple. Guests had a fantastic time noshing on bites by Taj Mahal Restaurant and rocking out to music by Elite Entertainment. Check out the gallery below for more radiant photos of the festivities taken by Ishan Fotografi.

So much prettiness! Hope you enjoyed those photos as much as we did!
