Tip to the faint of heart, our next Indian wedding highlight is rated R, as in highly romantic, so make sure that you have some tissues handy!  When I first watched this film I couldn’t stop gushing about the adorable bubbles, the extra looooong limo, and the bride’s exquisite sense of style. But after watching it a few times, I realized that the spectacular element I couldn’t contain my excitement over was actually the music, shots, and editing of the film by Lightyear Studios.  Grab some chai Maharanis and get ready for some New Jersey Indian wedding fun! What a fabulous way to end the week!

If you missed any of the Indian wedding lovelyness this week, here are a few of my favorite posts :

Have a wonderful weekend and we will see you on Sunday!

Happy Friday Maharanis!  I am sure that you have a weekend filled of dress shopping, cake tasting, and color palette planning ahead, so I have just the Indian weddings to make you day fly by!  Our first love story by Filmtwist Productions shows that love knows no boundaries….literally!  These two met across the Atlantic when this charming groom fell in love with this beautiful bride on Shaadi.com.  There are SO many details that I love about this day like the modern mandap designed with clean lines and the bride’s one shoulder reception blouse, but the thing that I love the most, is the love behind the day!

More on the way!

Pinterest is my newest obsession!  Anytime I have a few spare moments, I hop on and start pinning the dreamy images away.  So, the only thing missing from my Pinterest fun is all of you, so I am inviting you to collaborate on a Pinterest board with me today!

I got the pinning started with a few of my picks on the board, A Maharani Returns to India, and I am hoping that you will help me load it up with more beautiful ideas, inspirations, and pins!

So, to get started :

First, leave a comment with your Pinterest URL.  For example mine is : http://pinterest.com/maharaniwedding/

Next, I’ll add you as a contributor to the board, and you can start pinning!

Finally, we will pick the images that best tell the story of a Maharani returns to India, and assemble an inspiration board with them.

This is going to be delightful, and I can’t wait to see what we create together!

I’m so sad that we’re almost done with this fab-u-lous wedding, but to make myself (and all of you) feel better, at least we still have the reception! From the dazzling eyeshadow to the purple, pink and gold bangles, I just knew that Maharani Seetal was going to look amazing. And then I got my first look at her outfit and I was completely blown away. I love the mix of the dark velvet purple against the lighter purple and gold trim in the outfit. That cake, the candle centerpieces and the purple/pink light shining against the Chicago Cultural Center’s ceiling is beyond amazing and created an atmosphere that was both elegant and fun, leaving plenty of space for our awesome couple to dance the night away with their family and friends!

Maharanis, I hope you had as much fun as I did watching this beautiful wedding complete with a gorgeous couple unfold! Congratulations to Seetal and Bharath from everyone here at Maharani Weddings!

There’s nothing quite as awesome as seeing a groom get down with his closest family and friends during the baraat. Everyone’s already excited, but dancing to the beats of a dhol definitely helps get the adrenaline pumping, of course while they’re fist pumping and doing the lightbulb! In the previous post, I mentioned that the photos just keep getting better and better and after seeing these photos, I know you will most definitely agree with me. Seetal and Bharath’s wedding ceremony took place at the Chicago Cultural Club and I’m not joking when I say that my jaw dropped when I saw the space. With such expansive, beautifully artistic ceilings paired with a simple yet elegant white mandap, it’s almost as if this couple is getting married in the clouds!

Um, don’t you just LOVE their sleek ride behind them? Just like our couple, it’s modern and elegant with the perfect Indian touch.

It’s time for a short break but I’ll see you in just a bit with a finale like you’ve never seen before!
