Newport Beach, CA Indian Wedding by Matei Horvath Photography

Happy Monday, Maharanis! Let's head down to Newport Beach, California, where today's Indian bride is getting ready for the event of a lifetime with the help of Dolled Up By Lulu — hair and makeup extraordinnaire! Matei Horvath Photography brings us these candid moments of the bride during the quiet before the wonderful wedding storm! Her bright red lipstick and marvelously detailed bridal mehndi are spectacular additions to her traditional wedding day look. This South Asian wedding was planned and designed by Ethnic Essence and the horse for the baraat was supplied by Enchanted Carriages . For a sneak peek at what's to come, and to check out the work of the talented vendors, head to the full gallery.

I'll be back soon with details from the ceremony, so make sure you check back in with me!
