If there’s one word to describe Ruhi & Akash’s wedding, it’s intentional—every event, every design choice, and every emotion felt thoughtfully curated to reflect who they are as a couple. This was a South Asian wedding weekend that balanced tradition and modern flair, personal history and elevated production, all wrapped in color, joy, and heartfelt moments.

The celebrations began where Ruhi’s story started: her childhood home in Irvine, CA. Hosting the mehndi and haldi there added a deeply emotional layer to the festivities, especially when Ruhi had her mehndi applied on the same green bench she once played on as a child.

For the larger wedding events, Ruhi & Akash chose Omni La Costa, a venue that delivered a true resort-style experience while offering multiple scenic backdrops. The planning and design by Eventspell brought structure, flow, and polish to the entire weekend, ensuring that each event felt distinct while still cohesive. From logistics to creative execution, the celebrations unfolded seamlessly.

The floral vision by JnJ Florals played a major role throughout the weekend, layering vibrant colors and lush arrangements that enhanced each space without overpowering it. From ceremony florals to statement installations, the décor struck the perfect balance between bold and refined.

The ceremony beautifully blended Marathi traditions with Rajasthani elements, culminating in the exchange of handwritten vows. And just when guests thought the moment couldn’t get more memorable, the ceremony concluded with a color cannon finale, filling the air with celebration and leaving guests in awe.

Ruhi’s bridal fashion journey was equally stunning and thoughtfully planned. From a traditional green mehndi outfit styled with a voluminous braid, pink florals, and a pearl paranda, to a bold orange sharara for haldi, each look felt intentional and expressive. Her coral red sangeet ensemble stood out beautifully against blue-and-white European-inspired décor, while her pink bridal lehenga—rich with intricate embroidery of florals and birds—felt regal and romantic. Paired with emerald green jewelry and delicate butterfly kaleera, it was a look that balanced softness and royalty. The weekend ended with a striking royal blue reception look that made a powerful statement.

Hair and makeup evolved effortlessly throughout the weekend thanks to Drea V Makeup and Makiaj, who worked closely with Ruhi’s vision while adding their own professional artistry. Using two different teams allowed each look to feel fresh and unique, perfectly matched to the mood of each event.

One of the most memorable aspects of the celebration was the dancing. powered by the high-energy beats of 3D Sounds. From joyful family performances at the haldi to a heartfelt dance with her mom to a surprise bridal solo that left Akash beaming, each performance carried emotion. Akash even stepped out of his comfort zone, learning multiple dances for the sangeet and reception—a true crowd favorite and a testament to his love and commitment.

The celebrations were beautifully captured by Balerina Films, whose cinematography and photography preserved every vibrant detail—from the quiet, emotional moments to the high-energy dance floor scenes. Their storytelling ensured that the emotions of the weekend will live on long after the music faded.

Before the reception officially began, Ruhi & Akash shared a champagne tower pour with their closest friends, cheering them on—a high-energy, celebratory moment that perfectly set the tone for the night ahead.

At its core, Ruhi & Akash’s wedding wasn’t about perfection—it was about feeling. The colors, the vows, the dances, the thoughtful details all came together to create a celebration that guests truly experienced. As Ruhi beautifully shared, trends may fade, but the emotions you create will stay forever—and this wedding was overflowing with them.

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
In 2021, we were both busy in medical residency while also trying to date. I was in coastal Ventura while Akash was living in Las Vegas. We matched on Hinge and met up at a Mexican restaurant in Costa Mesa for our first date. The conversation lasted hours and we felt like we had known each other forever. We vowed during that date that we would see each other every 2 weeks and make long distance work. Soon, the only thing getting me through residency was his facetimes at the end of the long day. I had never met someone so caring, funny, genuine and I knew that this was a once in a lifetime type of love.

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
Akash knew he wanted to propose to me before we finished residency, which was a whole operation as Akash was still living in Las Vegas. Akash teamed up with one of my best friends to create a plan. My friend who recently got engaged told me she wanted to do a photoshoot with her closest friends in Palos Verdes. This was believable because she was also a professional photographer and seemed like something she would do. I, fully believing I was there for her photoshoot, arrived at this beautiful location with my 3 best friends greeting me. My friends then walked me to the proposal spot, a gazebo full of flowers and candles overlooking the ocean. Akash was waiting for me underneath and I could not believe this was my proposal. My family and friends then surprised me with champagne and flowers and we enjoyed the beautiful sunny day with stunning ocean views. It was such a beautiful moment having my 3 best friends walk me over to my future husband at our proposal spot – such a good blend of a romantic moment with my husband as well as a culmination of all of the feelings with my best friends being with me through all of the years.

Afterwards, Akash added more to the surprise and had an after party at my childhood home in Irvine with all of my closest family and friends with a live pasta station and an open bar. I could not believe Akash pulled this all off!

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.
When I envisioned our wedding, I dreamed of a joyous experience that felt like us in every detail. I wanted a mehndi and haldi in my childhood home in Irvine, CA. I got my mehndi done on the same outdoor green bench that I grew up playing on, which was such a special moment.

Since our proposal was overlooking the ocean, I wanted a different more green, nature filled vibe for our wedding. I immediately loved Omni La Costa in Carlsbad because it allowed us to have 3 different beautiful locations for all of our events. It was also nice as it felt like a mini destination as most family and friends were from Orange County. I knew I wanted an outdoor sangeet where guests felt like they were dancing under the stars. For the wedding, I knew I wanted vibrant colored decor and a color cannon along with a raised aisle. It was so beautiful seeing the color cannon amongst the palm trees and the ponds in the background.

For my mehndi I wore a traditional green outfit but I added a flare with a voluminous braid with pink flowers and a pearl paranda.

For my other outfit choices, I chose non-traditional choices. For haldi, I wore an orange sharara with a dupatta flowing from the back of it. For sangeet, I wore a coral red outfit that was perfect for sangeet as it stood out amongst our blue and white European inspired decor and the outfit flared so beautifully during all of the dance turns. For my wedding, I chose pink and for the reception I chose royal blue.

For my hair and makeup looks, I came in with specific pictures of hair and makeup but I also did let the hair and makeup artists give their own input as well which I think in turn created such a variety of looks. I also had two different hair and makeup teams for my events which I think ended up working out so beautifully as every look felt really unique.

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
I knew I wanted a pink bridal lehenga but I wanted it to still look very royal. The lehenga had intricate embroidery that featured flowers and birds which I felt was so unique. When I wore it for the first time, both of our parents and my sister in law could not stop looking at it and I knew it was the one. I combined light emerald green jewelry which gave a beautiful contrast. The dupatta was a slightly darker shade of pink and featured embroidery on it. My favorite element was the dainty kaleera which had butterflies falling from it which felt so elegant.

What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
I loved planning all of the dance performances  at our wedding. We even did a dance at our Haldi with my cousin sister and my sister in law which was so special. I loved doing a dance with my mom and then also performing my bridal solo dance which was a surprise for my husband, Akash. I loved seeing his face in excitement and surprise. Akash even learned multiple dances with me for sangeet and reception and he is not a dancer at all but he did an amazing job and it was so sweet of him to be so involved in dances for me.

What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
My guests loved the wedding ceremony and the vibrant colored decor, the exchange of personal vows and the color cannon at the end. They cannot stop talking about the color cannon and how it was the perfect finale for the wedding ceremony.

Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
On our wedding day, I entered with my brothers under a floral canopy down a set of stairs which was so special. Our ceremony combined both our traditions of Marathi culture with Rajasthani elements. Exchanging handwritten vows was my favorite moment—it was deeply personal, grounding us in the midst of tradition.

For events other than your ceremony, please tell us as much as you would like about the decor, style, dances, and all the special details.
The Haldi was so special to me because my mother DIY'd all of the decor in the courtyard of my childhood home and it turned out so so beautiful! She ordered wooden planks, nailed them together, and painted them white herself. She then adorned flowers to strings and hung them on the structures. She ordered beautiful florals and a platform stage to complete the look. Then her friends came over and decorated the house with flower pots and other beautiful decor.

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
Looking back, I realize our wedding was less about perfect décor or timelines and more about the feelings we created.  My advice to future brides is simple: design for the emotions you want people to carry home. Trends fade, but the magic of shared laughter, happy tears, and a packed dance floor—that will stay with you forever.

Anything else you want to tell us? We'd love to hear all about your other details! (jewelry, mehndi, venue, cake, bouquets, etc.)
We loved doing a champagne tower pouring with our closest friends cheering us on in the background. It was such a high-energy moment and so perfect sharing an intimate moment with them before the reception begun.

See you tomorrow, ladies—more love, more details, and more beautiful stories await.

Some love stories are written in the stars. Others, like Himani & Jay's, are written page by page, scrapbook after scrapbook, memory after memory. The very first gift Jay (yes, our groom, with the most fitting name for a love story) gave his bride was an empty scrapbook. Every year since, she filled it with their milestones—ticket stubs, photos, inside jokes—until a collection of volumes told the tale of two souls growing up together, side by side. By the time their wedding arrived, they weren’t just exchanging vows; they were opening the next chapter in a novel already overflowing with love.

Their celebrations unfolded across iconic California venues, with the Marina del Rey Marriott and Old Ranch Country Club providing dreamy backdrops that felt straight out of a modern fairytale. Promises Forever Events orchestrated the weekend with a steady hand and sharp eye, while Royal Ball Designs transformed spaces into living works of art, layering florals, draping, and design in ways that felt both regal and deeply personal. For the bohemian-themed Pithi, Himani chose a neutral green palazzo set from Kalista, accented with pink florals.

The Sangeet was nothing less than legendary. Guests walked through a ten-foot storybook at the entrance, complete with a poem penned by the bride, before stepping into a night that sparkled with dance, music, and raw emotion. This meant honoring years of classical Bharatanatyam with a solo performance, followed by a reunion set with Raas teammates. Dressed in emerald green and champagne by Jigar and Nikita, while Jay matched in an emerald sherwani, the couple looked like vibrant kalis stitched right into the heart of their own fairytale.

The wedding day itself was anchored in meaning and emotion. A line of life-sized Polaroid posters carried by the groomsmen traced every June 14th the couple had shared—first date, proposal, marriage license, and now wedding day—bringing even the toughest groomsmen (and, yes, the groom himself) to tears. The ceremony programs, printed as whimsical newspapers titled The Once Upon a Times, had guests chuckling and tearing up all at once as they read articles about the couple’s journey. Himani chose to step outside tradition in a breathtaking pearl-encrusted lehenga by Rianta’s, complete with a Victorian-style pearl veil that looked like something conjured from a dream. Jay mirrored her elegance in a blush sherwani, equally detailed and unforgettable.

For the reception, Marina del Rey Marriott unveiled its panoramic rooftop view of the ocean and downtown Los Angeles, where guests gathered in coordinated silver and white attire. Against the grayscale backdrop, Himani commanded the room in a scarlet Isa by Dolly Wahal lehenga, bold and unapologetic, while Jay looked every bit the debonair hero in his tuxedo with a single red rose. Fusion Sounds, a Platinum Guide member, made sure no one left the dance floor, fusing beats and lighting into an atmosphere that felt alive with joy. Balerina Films captured the entire journey with breathtaking cinematography, weaving emotions and aesthetics into a visual masterpiece. From the tender black-and-white stillness of the posters, to the baraat led by the energy of Dheer’s dhol, to the vibrant whirl of the Sangeet performances, their lens didn’t just record the wedding—it narrated it. Watching their film feels like stepping right into the couple’s scrapbook, page by page, but with the cinematic magic of a fairytale.

The supporting cast of vendors added their own sparkle: Dreavmakeup made sure Himani glowed through every hug and happy tear, Ras Raj fed guests like royalty, Mehndi by Masu crafted intricate designs worthy of an art gallery, and Elite Magazine Photo Booth provided the perfect outlet for playful glam. It was never just about beauty, though there was plenty of that. It was about love, equality, and the quiet magic of writing a life together, page by page.

If fairytales were filmed in real life, Ramsha & Bahroz's wedding would definitely be up for an Oscar. Set against the sun-kissed cliffs of Pacific Palisades, CA, this South Asian wedding was a breathtaking fusion of elegance, tradition, and just the right amount of sparkle — plus a healthy dose of unforgettable dance moves. (More on that later!)

Every moment felt like a modern-day romance movie, from their Sangeet Set against the sparkling Pacific Ocean backdrop at The London West Hollywood to their seaside vows at the stunning Bel-Air Bay Club, with a view almost as gorgeous as the couple. Under a floral masterpiece crafted by the geniuses at Butterfly Floral Design, Ramsha and Bahroz said their "I dos" beneath a mandap so exquisite it deserves its own Instagram account. Thanks to Special Occasions DJ & Lighting, the night became a vibrant kaleidoscope of light and sound. And we can't forget the master of melodies, John Violinist, who added an extra layer of enchantment with his live performances.

With White Rose Production Cinema and Photo, we didn't just feel it. We lived it. Their cinematography captured every candid laugh, every breathtaking decor detail, and every goosebump-inducing glance with a cinematic style that deserves its standing ovation. With dynamic, sweeping shots and an eye for those fleeting, magical moments, White Rose didn't just document the wedding; they told the story.

Meanwhile, Neha Assar Artistry worked her magic on Ramsha, creating the dreamiest Mehndi designs — each intricate swirl telling a story of love, tradition, and beauty. Get the Look by Neha ensured our bride was glowing, and we're not just talking about her inner joy. Every look was flawlessly styled, every curl in place, every eyelash flutter ready for its close-up. The guests were welcomed with elegantly crafted invitations and stationery by Jen Simpson Design, setting the tone for the sophisticated seaside affair. Every detail was thoughtfully curated by Exquisite Events, who flawlessly orchestrated the entire experience. From breathtaking entrances to seamless transitions between events, they proved that dream weddings aren't just imagined — they're expertly planned.

As day turned to night, the festivities roared to life again with Mickey Singh bringing down the house (because why walk into married life when you can dance into it?). Under romantic lighting and surrounded by luxurious touches — courtesy of MTB Event Rentals and Luxe Linen — the newlyweds celebrated in true Bollywood-meets-Hollywood style. And let's talk about that first dance — a moment so beautiful that even the most stoic of guests might have found something in their eye. (Dust, definitely just dust.) Of course, Abby Jiu Photography was on hand to immortalize every grin, every tear, and every swoon-worthy twirl with a timeless, editorial flair that complemented the cinematic feel of the entire celebration. Do not miss the film and enjoy.

From the heartfelt vows to the high-energy dance floor, every moment was a dream come true.

Their families in Hyderabad, armed with the ultimate matchmaking skills, orchestrated a virtual meeting across continents, sparking a connection that transcended miles and time zones.

As we were enjoying our brunch in NYC, I was oblivious to his nervous demeanor. Suddenly, he whisked me off to Dumbo, where amidst the scenic view, he dropped to one knee and fumbled for the ring, leaving me both shocked and in stitches. Needless to say, I said yes! Thankfully, he had a drone to capture our special moments, immortalizing the surprise and love in equal measure.

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
Picking out my bridal lehenga was like participating in a whirlwind shopping marathon! I had always dreamt of being a radiant red bride, like a walking, talking embodiment of love. But here's the kicker: I arrived back in town a mere three weeks before the big day, and suddenly it was a race against time to find the perfect outfit and get it tailored faster than you can say "I do!" I practically turned into a bridal ninja, stealthily navigating through racks of fabric and piles of sequins, dodging pushy salespeople like they were bouquet-throwing bridesmaids. And let me tell you, when I finally found that perfect red ensemble, it was like the heavens opened up and angels sang... or maybe that was just me breathing a sigh of relief! So, in the end, my favorite color became whatever shade didn't clash with my stress-induced under-eye bags! But hey, who needs beauty sleep when you're too busy being a last-minute wedding fashionista?

What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
Our guests are still licking their fingers and dreaming about the food from our wedding! We decided to spice things up (quite literally) by offering different cuisines at each function. It was like a culinary world tour, with each meal leaving taste buds in a state of euphoria and stomachs begging for mercy.

Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
There's the tear-jerker moment when our parents hit the dance floor and turned our emotional song into a group therapy session. I mean, tissues should have been included in the wedding favors for that one! And then there's the cheeky moment when my husband decided he was the ultimate garland guardian and demanded a kiss as ransom before allowing it around his neck. Let's say he made me work for that floral accessory! It was like a rom-com with a sprinkle of Bollywood drama, and I wouldn't trade those memories for the world!

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
Keep calm, delegate like a boss, and never forget to laugh, especially when things go hilariously wrong. And most importantly, always have a secret stash of chocolate for those 'bridezilla' moments!

Let’s cherish the magic of this unforgettable celebration, a perfect blend of joy and timeless love.

In just a few months, I knew Ravi was the one for me because of his kindness and understanding. AMC holds a special place in our hearts, as it became the backdrop for cherished memories.

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
In July 2022, during our trip to Jamaica with "The Crew +2" - my cousins Riddhi, Raj, Amit, Neil, and Akash, and our partners Ravi and Raj's girlfriend, Dhara - an extraordinary surprise awaited us. On that magical day, as we gathered to take group photos on the beach at sunset, a resort photographer offered to take some pictures for us. Little did I know, he led us to a beautifully adorned gazebo adorned with twinkling lights that formed the words "MARRY ME." Overwhelmed with emotion, tears filled my eyes as the realization of my proposal sank in. It was a night of pure enchantment, surrounded by those closest to my heart.

What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
The most enjoyable part of planning our destination wedding in Punta Cana was the sheer delight of spending quality time with our loved ones. We laughed, shared ideas, and created beautiful memories together as we made decisions about the venue, decorations, and traditions. It was a heartwarming experience that brought us closer, celebrating our Indian heritage while embracing the natural beauty of Punta Cana. The journey of planning our wedding became a cherished chapter in our lives, filled with love, laughter, and lasting connections.

Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
The moment that keeps replaying in my mind is when I walked down the aisle on my wedding day. As I took each step, I couldn't help but realize how surrounded I was by loved ones who had traveled far to be there with us. Walking by my side were my two older brothers, Prayag and Krunal, who have always been there for me with their unwavering support, love, and laughter. Seeing the love of my life waiting for me at the end of the aisle made this moment even more special. At that exact moment, I felt the culmination of all the months of planning, and I knew deep down that it was absolutely worth it. We were finally getting married, and the overwhelming happiness I felt was simply indescribable.

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
The greatest words of wisdom I can give to Brides-to-be is to embrace the journey: Wedding planning can be exciting yet overwhelming. Embrace the process, enjoy the milestones, and remember that it's about celebrating your love and commitment.
Thank you for reading, and stay tuned for more inspiring weddings from our Maharani brides!
