Dearest Maharanis, I can’t express how happy I was to see this next Indian wedding film on the docket! One of my favorite Indian weddings from early August is now back with a wedding video, and I couldn’t be more delighted to delve into Shivani and Rueben’s extravagant Indian wedding again. CB Art Photography & Cinematography were the lucky folk who covered this transcontinental union, and it’s just as fabulous on film as it is in photos!

The video covers highlights from the couple’s mehndi party, turmeric ceremony, wedding and reception. It’s a little hard to register all the gorgeous details in the fast-paced video, so make sure you watch it a couple times! And make sure you don’t miss that mandap — it’s totally to die for!

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