I am hoping that AVP Studios drops the reel of Ritika and Kunal's Indian wedding to me soon because I am in love with all these images by Banga Studios! This is the very last feature of this exceptional Indian wedding and I have all the deets!  Ritika was the ultimate in bridal perfection in a shimmering gold lengha designed from Falguni Shane Peacock. An Indian wedding trend I am noticing for 2018 is the Indian brides tossing the dupatta and really letting their outfit shine! Top That! Event enhanced the MGM Grand Detroit by creating dazzling décor with fancy placemats, votives, and luscious blooms. Guests dined on ambrosial Indian cuisine catered from Shalimar before hitting the dance floor spearheaded by DJ KSR of Frequency Ent. Blissful Weddings & Events created the Indian wedding of Ritika's dreams and you can find all the lavish memories in our gallery.

In today's Indian wedding feature honoring Ritika and Kunal, I am going to showcase how to do an Indian wedding right! Planned and designed by Blissful Weddings & Events, Ritika's Indian wedding will blow you away! Inspiration can be found all over the globe but, with stellar photographer Banga Studios and premier Indian wedding décor team Top That! Event, you can only expect some serious magic. Ritika donned a blush pink wedding lengha that added a joyful tone to the celebration with a refreshing dose of color. The traditional Sikh ceremony took place at the Plymouth Hidden Falls Gurdwara and after the nuptials, the wedding party took it outdoors to create more memories. From some stunning Indian wedding shots right down to our bride getting beautified, Banga Studios brought a visionary tale to life in our gallery. 

Right around the corner, I have the grand finale!

Happy Tuesday, Maharanis! I am so excited to sprinkle your screens with some major Indian wedding motivation, so pull out your notes app; it's time to get cracking! Banga Studios has shared with us all the fabulous memories of Ritika and Kunal's love-soaked Indian wedding beginning with a sensational sangeet. Our Indian bride took the traditional hue of red and paired it with a sparkling gold top for an ensemble that was easy to show off her dance moves in. Every décor detail was designed from scratch by premier Indian wedding floral and décor team Top That! Event. Staying true to their name, my favorite element of this night was the whimsical rickshaw that displayed all the silverware and plates. Such an innovative way to add that personal touch! Guests were treated to a refined menu of cuisine catered by Saffron before dancing the night away. Captured with charm and care, Banga Studios has all the images from this star-studded event in our gallery! 

Next up is the unbelievable Indian wedding ceremony! See you in a twinkle.

No wedding is fully planned until you have selected the caterer and developed the menu. This simple fact is especially true to Indian weddings, where it is not uncommon to see every ingredient carefully selected due to its religious symbolism and connection to both families. Here are some tips that may help you when it comes time to select the perfect caterer for your own wedding.

Budget

It is vital that you face the (wedding) music - you only have so much to spend. Sit down with both a wedding and financial planner to determine how much you can realistically spend on each part of your wedding service. By figuring out how much you can afford to spend in advance, you will be able to avoid sticker shock later on. A bonus tip - try to go below your budget whenever possible. This will guarantee that you have some “cushion” for the inevitable budget overrun. After all, a wedding is like a battle - no plan ever survives contact with the real world.

Tasting

There are recipes that look good on paper and those that taste great. The only way to tell one from the other is to actually taste each item. Considering how extravagant wedding feasts can be, this is no small feat. To make the process go faster (and keep your waistline in check!) have a number of trusted friends and family members help you taste each dish.

Speak with your wedding planner about scheduling these taste testing sessions. Remember - while this is serious, it is also an opportunity to have fun! See which caterer prepares your favorite dishes the best way and guarantee your guests a dinner they will never forget!

Suppliers

Your wedding may require a dozen separate suppliers, depending on how extravagant the plans and how rare the source materials. Speak with your wedding planner and the caterers to determine how to get everything you need to make certain that your wedding goes perfectly. Some caterers have preferred suppliers, while others may use whoever you select. Figure this out now to give yourself time to figure out the supply list and negotiate the lowest possible prices. Your pocket book will thank you the morning after you say, “I do!”

Venue

Your wedding venue determines nearly everything about your else about your special day, and as such should be chosen first. It is only when you get the address that it is possible to find the right catering company – because, simply, the best options is the worst if it can’t deliver!

Consider your catering service to be a much more extravagant version of call-in delivery services. Would you order in dinner from a company located an hour away? No – by the time it got to you the food would be cold and the delivery charge would have shot through the roof.

The best companies will tell you immediately whether or not they can help, just from the address. If the answer is no ask them who they would suggest in your area. It is amazing how often companies work together to make certain that clients’ needs are fulfilled – so a simple referral may point you in the right direction!

Finding the perfect Indian wedding caterers does not need to be an insurmountable challenge. By taking the time to carefully consider your needs and budget you can immediately narrow the field to just the most promising prospects. From there, it is just a matter of comparing their menus, experience, and how well you “get along” with their staffs.

Remember - this is your special day. Reach out to an Indian wedding planner to make certain that every detail is perfect.

Today’s featured Maharani is stunning Vanessa, I have all the details on how you can create a stunning Indian wedding of your own! It all starts with gorgeous Indian bridal wear. And, this girl most certainly had them all! For her last hurrah at the Mississauga Convention Centre, our Indian bride settled on a soft baby pink champagne lengha. My favorite aspect of this designer masterpiece was the sparkly belt put into place to tuck in the dupatta. Seriously, a game changer when you are on the dance floor! Xclusive Designs created such a stunning visual masterpiece for the Indian wedding and the couple opted to repurpose the gorgeousness for the reception party. The series of events was planned and designed by Biji Planners who didn't miss a shiny beat! I loved reliving Vanessa's precious moments by L'Atelier Lumière International Photographie and we have forever memorialized this journey in our gallery.
