Bride Ritu claims she was a tomboy as a Mini Maharani, but it’s clear she’s blossomed into a lovely queen! For her Indian wedding reception, Ritu slips out of her hot pink bridal lengha into a lavender lengha that features a subtle ombre from top to bottom. As big fans of the Los Angeles Lakers, the duo opted to go for a purple and gold color scheme. With help from Mama Maharani, the reception at  Hilton Long Beach Hotel was modern and oh-so-elegant! The wedding cake from Hot Breads is out of this world, as well as the towering flower centerpieces from Unique Flowers and Mandaps. Take in the thoughtful details of this Indian wedding reception with Samson Productions, and then learn what the Maharani thought of her big day!

 More from Maharani Ritu: “It was truly a humbling experience to see how lucky we are to have such amazing family and friends that love us. We want to thank our family and friends for helping us make it such a special day for us.”

Congrats Ritu and Nayan! We leave this sunny California Indian wedding for a Dallas, Texas affair — see you tomorrow!
