Welcome to Maharani Weddings

Hello Maharanis! Remember to check out Jasmin & Karan's wedding in today's Platinum Guide Blog!

Tell us how you went about planning your wedding, and your overall experience with the Venues, Hair & Makeup, Outfits, Decor Theme, and all of the other important details.
We spent the majority of our time looking for vendors on Instagram; Karan and I were interested in their work, and Instagram showcased it well. Honestly, our vendors were so amazing. Most of them I had never or barely even spoken to, but they executed our vision beautifully. I hadn't even been to Fresno until the week of the wedding so I didn't see the venues until my wedding week alongside my guests.

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
Surprisingly, I chose both my Lenghas on the same day. My Anand Karaj Lengha was customized. It was funny because I was just changing colours and none of my family members really understood what I was doing, but when my lengha came in I was pleasantly surprised.

What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
The most enjoyable part of the planning process was watching our families work together so that we could have an amazing week. Especially since my wedding events began in Canada, I have to hand it to all the ladies in my family for managing the kids, travel itineraries, and keeping everyone organized!

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
My advice to future Brides-to-be is to take all the help you can get and try not to get caught up in the tiny details. Remember to take the time to really enjoy with your families!

Darlings, we remind you that in the world of weddings, magic is accurate, and dreams come true.

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
Swiped right on Hinge, literally the first moment that we met!

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
We were looking into buying a house together knowing that we were committed to one another. He had the builder call me and ask me to come in after work for a wet signature on some paperwork. I was so pissed because I didn’t think that I’d be able to make it in time and thought that the builder was so unprofessional. When I showed up, the lot on which the home we now live was decorated, and he was waiting there with our song playing in the background. It was absolutely perfect, intimate, and some!

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
My groom’s favorite color is red, so I knew that I wanted something to follow that color scheme, and I feel like I envisioned something very elegant, royal, and traditional but modern. I didn’t really see anything that I fell in love with, so I worked closely with the designer, who is now one of my really good friends! She designed a custom lengha for me that truly embodied me as a bride.

What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
Picking out my wedding outfit and designing my parent's looks and honestly watching it all come together on the day of. My family didn’t really understand my crazy attention to details especially when it came to their outfits but they were all so happy with the final product.

What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
We got a lot of compliments on the decor details and aesthetics, but I think most of our guests still talk about how good the food was!

Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
Our first look at the mandir, walking down the aisle, the two of us on the mandap during the ceremony.

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
It’s ok to make the day about you and your partner because that is what it’s supposed to be!

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
I met Peter in a lecture at USC. We were friends first and dated a year later in my senior year of college. I can't remember a singular moment when I knew he was the one; I knew he was the one from all of the ways he made me feel loved, seen, and understood, and all of the big and small ways he showed up for me consistently, just because he cared.

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
Peter told me to keep a specific Sunday free in December of 2021; he drove me to USC's campus, and we walked to the building where we first met. He handed me a notebook, and the first page was a handwritten note about meeting me for the first time. For a few hours, he walked with me around campus and stopped at specific spots where we shared memories, and he had a handwritten note for each moment he chose. 

After this, we drove to Santa Monica where we had shared our first date and our first kiss, where we had talked on the sand until 4 am. He pulled out the notebook again during sunset and there was one more note. After reading it, I turned around and he was down on one knee. It was a perfect day, and one of my favorite days of my life.

What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
Getting to spend time with my bridesmaids and the way they each made me feel so loved and cared for in their unique, individual ways. My matron of honor planned a phenomenal bachelorette and kept me sane through the wedding planning process, my maid of honor choreographed a reception dance and helped me stay on time with all of the planning tasks, my sister-in-law threw a gorgeous and warm bridal shower, and each of my friends supported me in different ways through it all.  I've been blessed with the BEST best friends in the world and an incredible new sister-in-law who is as beautiful inside as she is on the outside.

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
Keep the focus on what's most important to you. If that's celebrating the relationship you've built with your future spouse, let that be your guide, and everything else will work out.

Darlings, we invite you to wander through our daily features to inspire your love story. Enjoy!
