Tradition with a twist! This Maharani opts for the customary red and gold bridal lengha as her reception outfit, since it is more in tune with the palette for the event! Modern decor and floral arrangements by Arlene Floral Designer offer a new age spin on wedding reception ambiance! Flowers hang in bulbs suspended between tripod centerpieces, floating above rose petal-covered tables. Guests lounge in seating areas surrounded by glittering, twig-bouquet filled vases, floral lampshades and votive candles. The evening concluded with a few night time portraits by Kimberly Photography, and you can see more of them in the gallery!

We’ll be back with more inspiring wedding ideas tomorrow! See you then!

The love between these two newlyweds is practically palpable in these portraits by Kimberly Photography. On the marina outside of the Tampa Marriott Waterside, the couple enjoy their first moments together as husband and wife! Their traditional Pakistani wedding clothing is perfectly accented by the soft gray palette of the harbor. After the the bride and groom portrait session is finished, they head back inside the hotel for a wardrobe update before the reception! For more of these stunning portraits, head to the gallery!

Up next: a reception with modern sculptural floral by Arlene Floral Designer!

As angelic, parasol-shaded bridesmaids descend the stairs leading to the traditional fabric draped mandap by Arlene Floral Designer, the bride prepares in her last moments before the traditional Pakistani wedding ceremony begins. On the veranda of the Tampa Marriott Waterside, the Pakistani bride and groom take part in the traditional Nikkah wedding ceremony. The groom wears a muted, light blue floral sherwani, which ensures the bride’s brighter sari will create a focal point in every image by Kimberly Photography. Floral ornaments hanging from the mandap help to define the wide open venue, to create depth and intimacy in the ceremony design. For more of this easy, breezy ceremony, check out the gallery!

More of this beautiful couple to come, including a port side portrait session! See you soon!

Hey, Maharanis! There is something to be said for sophisticated simplicity! This traditional Pakistani bride makes a departure from traditional red and gold for her Pakistani wedding ceremony, wearing natural makeup by Nereida the Makeup Artist, a light blue bridal sari and veil with silver trim and embroidery. A braided chignon and simple silver bridal accessories echo the patterns of the embroidery, while the bride’s glittering peep-toe shoes gesture toward decadence. In a portrait session with Kimberly Photography, the bride stands out beautifully among the whites and grays of the marina. For more of this bride’s natural beauty, visit the gallery!

See you soon to check out this effortless beauty’s heavenly outdoor Nikkah ceremony!

This reception party is all about FUN! I totally love these bright colors (sweet pink, bold blue, and hot orange!) and the iridescent crystal suspended in the background styled by Design House Decor. While Gio Jung Photography snaps away, ensuring this delightful couple will have a perfect wedding album to treasure, the bride and groom hit the dance floor to the music of DJ Gaurav.  The lighting by Chez Josef is perfection—so luminous! I am finishing up my day in the gallery!

See you all tomorrow for some beautiful wedding inspiration!
