Indian Wedding Videos

Stop scrolling for a second and imagine this: a centuries-old Spanish castle, a glamorous South Asian fusion celebration, hundreds of loved ones gathered from around the world, and a wedding weekend unfolding across some of Barcelona’s most breathtaking historic venues. Sounds like something straight out of a movie, right? Well, Kaitlyn & Paras somehow made it real—and the result was nothing short of spectacular.

Set in the heart of Spain, this unforgettable fusion wedding beautifully blended cultures, traditions, and modern romance against a backdrop of castles, grand estates, and timeless European elegance. With over 200 guests traveling to celebrate their love story, every event felt larger than life while still remaining deeply personal to the couple at the center of it all. As the sun dipped behind the Spanish countryside, family and friends filled the evening with energetic performances, heartfelt speeches, and enough dancing to remind everyone that fusion weddings know exactly how to throw a party. When Deven Musiq is involved, guests quickly learn that sitting down is merely a suggestion. From the first celebration to the final reception, the energy remained electric, creating dance floors packed with guests determined to make every moment count.

Behind the seamless execution of the weekend was Dyana Dessar Weddings, whose planning and design expertise transformed an ambitious destination wedding into a flawless reality. Organizing a multi-day fusion celebration across multiple venues and for hundreds of international guests requires remarkable attention to detail. Every event flowed beautifully, allowing guests to simply immerse themselves in the experience while every logistical element operated effortlessly behind the scenes. The wedding ceremony itself unfolded at the stunning Finca Mas Solers, where European grandeur met heartfelt tradition in the most beautiful way imaginable. Surrounded by historic architecture, elegant gardens, and the people who meant the most to them, Kaitlyn & Paras exchanged vows in a setting that felt both intimate and majestic.

The décor throughout the weekend was equally breathtaking. Pepe Von Strudel created floral and design elements that elevated every venue while respecting the natural beauty and architectural character of each space. Romantic blooms, refined color palettes, and thoughtful installations transformed already spectacular locations into something truly magical. Every corner felt worthy of a photograph, every detail intentionally placed, and every event carried its own unique personality while still feeling connected to the larger wedding story. What made this celebration particularly memorable was the way it effortlessly balanced cultures. Fusion weddings are at their best when they honor both traditions while creating something entirely new, and Kaitlyn & Paras achieved that beautifully. Every event felt authentic, meaningful, and reflective of the lives they are building together.

As the celebrations culminated at the magnificent Castell de Sant Marçal, guests were treated to a reception that felt nothing short of royal. Historic halls, glowing candlelight, elegant décor, and an atmosphere filled with joy created the perfect setting for an unforgettable evening. The celebration continued late into the night as friends and family danced, laughed, and toasted a couple whose love story had brought everyone together beneath the Spanish sky.

Capturing every breathtaking moment were Alex & Anaïs · Weddings Art, whose photography and cinematography transformed the wedding weekend into visual poetry. Their ability to blend sweeping European landscapes with intimate emotional moments resulted in imagery that feels timeless, cinematic, and deeply personal. Every frame tells a story—not only of a beautiful wedding but of the people, emotions, and memories that made it extraordinary.

Kaitlyn & Paras’s Barcelona fusion wedding was more than a destination celebration. It was an experience woven together by love, culture, family, and adventure. A wedding where historic castles met modern romance, where traditions crossed borders beautifully, and where every guest left feeling part of something truly special.

Some wedding films simply document a wedding. Others make you feel like you’re witnessing a love story unfold in real time. Gagan & Karnit’s cinematic wedding film by our Platinum Guide member White Rose Production Cinema and Photo belongs firmly in the second category.

From the very first frame, this celebration feels less like a wedding video and more like a beautifully crafted romantic film—one filled with stolen glances, meaningful traditions, breathtaking fashion, and the quiet moments that often become the most unforgettable memories. And honestly, when the groom is kissing his bride’s hand beneath the California sunshine while she looks at him like he hung the moon, you know you're already emotionally invested.

The wedding centered around the sacred traditions of a Sikh Anand Karaj ceremony at Sikh Temple Turlock, where faith, family, and love came together in a deeply meaningful celebration.

Their work preserves emotions, relationships, and fleeting moments that become treasured memories for generations to come. Every frame feels intentional. Every transition feels emotional. Rather than focusing solely on décor and details, the film prioritizes storytelling, allowing viewers to experience the day through the eyes of the couple themselves. It's a reminder that the most powerful wedding films aren't simply about what happened—they're about how it felt.

There are weddings people remember because they were beautiful. And then there are weddings like Alina & Mikhail’s—the kind that become family folklore almost instantly. The kind guests will still talk about years from now with phrases like, “You had to be there,” followed immediately by emotional storytelling and at least one dramatic reenactment of the dance floor.

This two-day Sikh-Jewish celebration across Long Island wasn’t just visually breathtaking—it felt cinematic in the truest sense of the word. Which honestly makes it perfectly fitting that this feature belongs to the extraordinary film team at Memory Lane Studios, whose cinematography captured every emotional twist, joyful eruption, and deeply meaningful moment with the kind of storytelling that feels less like wedding footage and more like living poetry.

And trust us… this wedding gave them plenty to work with. The first day unfolded at Mata Sahib Kaur Gurdwara beneath dark storm clouds threatening to rewrite the entire day. Rain poured steadily over Glen Cove while guests anxiously refreshed weather apps and silently negotiated with the universe on behalf of the baraat. Because as every South Asian wedding guest knows, few things feel more tragic than a delayed baraat.

But then, almost impossibly, the skies shifted. Minutes before the procession began, the rain stopped completely—as if someone backstage had finally yelled “cue sunlight.” Clouds parted. Golden light spilled across the pavement. And suddenly, what could have been stressful transformed into something guests would later describe as fate itself.

Mikhail emerged to roaring cheers as the dhol thundered through the streets and the baraat exploded into celebration with twice the energy, gratitude, and emotion. Honestly, nothing fuels South Asian wedding dancing quite like surviving weather-related emotional trauma together.

The Anand Karaj ceremony inside the Gurdwara was deeply moving, grounding the celebration in faith, tradition, and family. As Alina & Mikhail completed the four laavaan around the Guru Granth Sahib, the atmosphere felt overwhelmingly sacred and intimate—a reminder that beneath the grandeur and celebration, weddings are ultimately about two people choosing one another completely.

The next day, the celebration shifted into black-tie elegance at our Platinum Guide venue Crest Hollow Country Club, where flawless September weather welcomed guests for the Jewish ceremony and reception. If Saturday belonged to destiny, Sunday belonged entirely to joy.

Beneath the chuppah, Alina & Mikhail exchanged vows surrounded by family, candlelight, and enough emotion to quietly destroy even the most emotionally stable guests in attendance. When Mikhail shattered the glass beneath his foot, the ballroom erupted into an unforgettable chorus of “Mazel tov!” so loud it practically became part of the décor.

And then came the speeches. The kind that start with laughter and somehow end with entire tables reaching for tissues. Alina’s parents spoke with immense love and trembling pride, each word carrying the weight of watching their daughter begin a new chapter. Her sister seamlessly blended humor and emotion in a toast that had guests laughing through tears. Then came Mikhail’s mother, whose warmth filled the ballroom completely, followed by his brother delivering the perfect balance of heartfelt tribute and lovingly ruthless sibling humor. Truly the gold standard of wedding speeches.

Behind the flawless execution of this multicultural celebration was Artistic Affairs NY, whose planning and event design beautifully balanced two rich traditions while creating a cohesive experience across both days. The décor by Let's Bloom Florist elevated every event with romantic florals and timeless elegance, while rentals from Magnoza added modern sophistication throughout the reception space.

Guests also enjoyed an unforgettable culinary experience from Benares Catering alongside elegant desserts by Crest Hollow Country Club, proving once again that exceptional weddings are powered equally by love and very good food.

And once the formalities ended? Absolute chaos in the best possible way. DJ Tony transformed the reception into a nonstop celebration filled with electric energy, packed dance floors, and the kind of joyful mayhem that only happens when two cultures fully commit to partying together. Between the hora, the Bollywood hits, the live music from Premier DJ, and guests refusing to sit down for more than thirty consecutive seconds, the ballroom became pure celebration from beginning to end. Adding to the bridal magic, glam by Rachel Esco and intricate mehndi artistry from Shamina Akter completed Alina’s effortlessly radiant bridal look beautifully throughout the weekend.

But what makes this wedding truly unforgettable isn’t just the venues, décor, or dance floor energy. It’s the emotional honesty woven through every moment. The way two traditions intertwined so naturally. The way family stories became part of the celebration itself. The way the rain stopped exactly when it needed to. Two days. Two traditions. One extraordinary forever.

Not all love stories start with fireworks—some begin with a swipe, a conversation, and a connection that quietly blossoms into something unshakeable. Janki & Nishil’s journey reflects resilience, laughter, and a love that shines brightest in the moments that truly matter. For Maharani readers, this wedding was a beautiful celebration of love earned through determination and heart.

Set at the elegant Marriott Hanover, this wedding was a beautiful blend of heartfelt moments and thoughtfully curated details. But what made this celebration truly unforgettable wasn’t just the décor or the venue—it was the story behind it all. Through health challenges and life’s unexpected turns, Nishil stood by Janki’s side as her constant, her calm, and her biggest source of strength. And if that’s not the definition of “the one,” we don’t know what is. Their proposal? Straight out of a love story with meaning woven into every step. A hike at Bear Mountain—symbolic of a promise they once made to each other—became the setting for a new beginning. It wasn’t just about the “yes,” it was about hope, resilience, and everything they had overcome together.

When it came to planning, Janki & Nishil approached it like a true partnership (and honestly, take notes, future brides and grooms). They leaned into their strengths—she handled the conversations and creative direction, he mastered the spreadsheets and logistics. The result? A wedding that felt balanced, intentional, and uniquely theirs. A little teamwork, a little patience, and a lot of love—clearly the winning formula.

Visually, the wedding struck that perfect harmony between classic and romantic. With All Event Decorator bringing their vision to life, the pastel pink and white palette created a soft, dreamy atmosphere. The open mandap design was a standout—allowing every guest to feel fully present for the ceremony (because let’s be honest, no one wants to play musical chairs mid-pheras). It was intimate, elegant, and incredibly thoughtful.

Janki’s bridal look? A timeless vision in red. After a journey across multiple stores in India (and a near “I give up” moment we can all relate to), she found the one. And just like that, everything clicked. With glam by Makeup by Ami, her look was radiant, classic, and effortlessly stunning—the kind of bridal moment that never goes out of style.

But let’s talk about the heart of the celebration—the moments. The first look? Emotional, intimate, and filled with tears that said everything words couldn’t. And the ceremony? One of those rare moments where, despite a room full of loved ones, it felt like it was just the two of them. That kind of connection is something you can’t plan—it just is.

And then came the reception—where the energy shifted from emotional to electric. With Deejay Rish behind the booth, the dance floor quickly became the place to be. Add in delicious bites from Moghul Catering (which, according to guests, was a major highlight), and you have a celebration that satisfied both the heart and the appetite. From their laughter-filled envelope-stuffing nights to last-minute dance rehearsals (where, plot twist, Nishil turned out to be the better dancer), every part of this journey reflected who they are as a couple—playful, supportive, and deeply connected.

Capturing it all was Saroj Studios, which brought its signature storytelling approach to both photography and cinematography. Every frame feels genuine, emotional, and alive—preserving not just the moments, but the meaning behind them.

Janki & Nishil’s wedding is a beautiful reminder that love isn’t just about the big moments—it’s about showing up for each other, especially when it’s hard. And when that kind of love is celebrated? It becomes something truly unforgettable.

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?

I met Nishil on Hinge. We moved in together a year after dating. Unfortunately, as soon as we moved in I ended up having medical issues with nerve pain and one of my arm barely functioning.  He was my rock during that time, and always made me smile on days I was in pain. I knew right then that he is the one because it is not easy to make me smile when I am crying so for him to be able to do that said a lot!

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
He took me on a hike on our dating anniversary to Bear Mountains and proposed there. We had gone on a hike when we first started dating, promised to stay active and do more of these. However, due to my health we could not do any of it. Therefore, he took me there to propose to show that once I am better we will do more of these in our new chapter in life.

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.
Our wedding planning was not easy, especially with both of us having different views. We started off by seeing venues. Finding a venue was the easy part for us. The real stress came when we had to find other vendors and create a guest list with our parents. We ended up splitting our work where he did all of the work for his side, and I did it for my side to make it easy. He took care of making Excel spreadsheets, emailing vendors, etc. I took care of talking to them on the call and figuring out the details of decorations, etc. he would then jump in when I had my top three options ready to help me pick. I would say splitting it with each of our strengths is a big help. I am a people person, so I was always ready to call, meet on Zoom, and discuss the details. He is more of an introvert, so he took care of the Excel, guest list, and emails.

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
I knew I wanted red from the moment I got proposed to. I travelled to India with my parents and got the help of my cousin in India to pick out my lengha. We went to many stores, and I was not able to find the one until I stepped into one last shop before I almost gave up. The moment they showed it to me, I said, “This is it!” Do not show me any other ones. I tried it on, and my parents and cousin also agreed it was the one.

What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
When we were doing our photoshoot, mailing the save the date cards, and practicing our first dance.  During the pre-wedding photoshoot, we had so much fun, and after that we went to have dinner at a restaurant. It turned out to be a day full of laughter and good food! When we were labeling the save-the-date envelopes, at first it was overwhelming. We had over 300 people on the guest list, so you can imagine the number of envelopes we had to mail. We ended up making it a fun thing by playing music and distributing who does what. I did the putting cards in each envelope, and he would label them one by one. We had fun laughs reading some of the street names, etc. During the wedding planning, I was still going through a tremendous amount of pain due to my health. We could not practice our dance until last two weeks before the wedding. I was freaking out, but he stayed calm and basically remembered all of the steps and helped me learn as well. He doesn’t like dancing, but then turns out he was better than I was! We ended up enjoying ourselves so much during practice.

What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
Everyone loved the food!

Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
Our wedding ceremony and first look! The first look was so special for me because I was tearing up the moment I started walking towards him. Our wedding ceremony was special because it felt like it was just him and me, because we both just focused on each other.

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 decor was picked based on our outfit colors, so we went with pastel pink and white. We did an open Madap concept and loved it! It gave everyone a good view, so people weren’t constantly getting up to see the ceremony. We did our first dance songs based on our love story and the experiences we have had so far, so it made it even more special. During our food tasting, my dad, who loves to cook, stepped in and spoke to the chef personally. This made the food completely different, and every single person loved it!

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
Communicate with your partner before the planning starts! Tell him what you expect from him to support you during the wedding planning. Highly recommend splitting the tasks based on each of your strengths, just like my partner and I did.
Take this as your sign: communicate, support each other, and don’t forget to laugh along the way.

Some love stories begin with a spark. Lalita & Tushar’s began with a screen—FaceTime calls that slowly turned into something deeper, something undeniable. Long before they met in person, they already knew: this was it. What followed was a proposal filled with intention, surprises, and a breathtaking moment overlooking the Manhattan skyline—setting the tone for a love story that would always feel larger than life.

Their wedding weekend unfolded like a film—layered, emotional, and beautifully intentional. Rooted in the traditions of a Guyanese Hindu celebration, every moment was thoughtfully curated to honor culture while creating an unforgettable experience for their guests. From the vibrant ceremony at Crest Hollow Country Club to the meaningful choice of venues that prioritized comfort, accessibility, and connection, every scene was designed with purpose. Planning and design were expertly orchestrated by Wedding Wishes by Neha. Wedding Design & Decor transformed each space into an immersive experience. And then, the moments you can’t script. The ones that define everything. Under the Mandap, in front of family and friends, Tushar did something Lalita had never seen before—he sang to her. A quiet, deeply personal gesture that turned into one of the most powerful scenes of the entire weekend. It wasn’t just romantic—it was real, vulnerable, unforgettable.

Through the lens of the talented Riant Films, this celebration becomes more than a memory—it becomes a story you can feel. The colors of the ceremony—yellow, pink, and orange—don’t just decorate the space; they move, they glow, they breathe life into every frame. The Mandap, carefully redesigned to complement the outdoor setting, becomes the emotional centerpiece of the film, where tradition and modern vision meet in perfect harmony.

The celebration continued with a rhythm all its own. A backyard transformed into an enchanted garden for the henna night, where lavender outfits, live music, and bubble tea created an atmosphere that felt intimate yet electric. Music and live performances were the heart of the celebration, with performances by Rakesh Yankaran, Ravi B, Angels Caribbean Band featuring Geeta Bisram, Randy Recklez, Babloe Shankar, and Vishale Samlall helping shape the wedding vibe. Performances flowed seamlessly into one another—Bollywood, Soca, Chutney—blurring the line between wedding and concert. A beloved Guyanese Hindu tradition is the “seven curry” spread—featuring seven distinct curries prepared for the wedding day. While this is typically made by family, recreating it at a venue can be challenging. In the lead-up to the celebration, the couple explored several vendors before choosing Fazee’s Delight, whose version beautifully honored the tradition and was thoroughly enjoyed by their guests.

Every detail adds another layer to the story. Lalita’s bridal journey—from her striking red and gold ceremony look to the radiant yellow ensemble she once hesitated to wear, and finally to her timeless Western gown—unfolds like chapters in a visual narrative. Each look, each transition, captured with intention, emotion, and movement.

But what makes this film unforgettable isn’t just the beauty—it’s the feeling. The laughter between friends who became family, the music that carried through every event, the traditions honored with pride, and the love that was present in every frame.

Lalita & Tushar’s wedding isn’t just something you watch. It’s something you experience—again and again, every time the film plays.

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
We started our romance virtually and met for the first with a Facetime. Tushar and I facetimed for a few months before we met in person. We bonded over many shared interests and had similar goals. Before we met in person, months later, we both knew that this was going to grow into something meaningful.

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
While dating, Tushar lived in Orlando, and I lived in Queens, so we made it a priority to see each other at least twice a month. In October 2023, I planned to visit him for the weekend of October 14th, but he unexpectedly told me he couldn’t because his best friend would be in town. I had no idea that this was part of a much bigger plan—Tushar and his family were actually flying to Queens to surprise me.

On the day of the proposal, my sister began giving me a series of gifts and handwritten notes that Tushar had left for me the night before. Each one built anticipation for what I thought was just a thoughtful gesture. Later, a hair and makeup artist arrived at my home to get me ready for what I believed were simple evening plans.

A few hours later, Tushar arrived and told me we were heading into Manhattan for dinner. Still unaware of what was coming, I followed along as he led me to a private rooftop with a direct view of the Empire State Building. There, surrounded by the city skyline and with our favorite songs playing in the background, he got down on one knee and proposed.

Afterward, we called our families and had a private photoshoot on the rooftop to capture the moment. When we returned home, I was surprised once again—our closest family and friends were there waiting to celebrate with us. My best friend had even flown in from Miami to be there.

It was a day carefully planned and filled with meaningful surprises, ending in a celebration with the people we love most.

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.
I poured my heart into customizing the wedding day. I definitely knew I wanted a statement Mandap. Initially, I was going to do a smaller Mandap that focused more on the structure of the Mandap, and less on the florals, but as we got closer to the wedding, we wanted a Mandap that complemented the outdoor scenery so we changed the design. I am very happy we made that change because it set the tone for the wedding decor. On the wedding day, we wanted color, so we selected yellow, pink, and orange, which worked well with the different outfits we had.

I had a hard time visualizing what would look good on me and what I loved in terms of makeup, outfits, and hair. Therefore, I had a lot of trial and error. I am so thankful for the various vendors that worked with us to help us figure out the right style.

When we looked for venues, we tried to select venues where we felt the staff were accommodating and would give our friends and family a great experience. Guyanese Hindu weddings have a very involved timeline and sequence of events, which we tried to honor. Therefore, it was important to find a venue that would be conducive to that. Fortunately, we found a beautiful venue that did so, Crest Hollow. Additionally, we thought the team at Jericho Terrace were welcoming of Guyanese weddings, so we felt comfortable working with their team for our reception. As an added bonus, I had caught the bouquet at that venue years ago, at a family wedding. Lastly, while it would have been fun and different to select a venue in the city, we tried to pick places that were easy for our guests to travel to because we knew we wanted them to save their energy to party.

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
I went into my wedding shopping trying to buy pieces that I couldn't wear if I were not a bride.

For my main wedding ceremony, I knew I wanted a red and gold outfit. There were no exceptions.

In Guyanese Hindu ceremonies, the bride usually comes out first and does a ceremony with her mom and family members. The bride would typically wear yellow here. I initially thought I was not going to do yellow here, and instead do pink, my favorite color. However, once I tried on a yellow, I was sold on yellow. At Nazranaa, I selected a burgundy outfit and worked with the team to customize it and change the base color to yellow.

My aunt, who is like my second mother, was with me for most of my shopping. She spotted a red lengha with a beautiful train and said I should try it on. Once I tried it on, there were no other considerations. That was the lengha. I ended up making a few changes, but overall kept most of the original design.

Prior to my engagement, I thought I was going to go to India for my wedding shopping. However, after shopping at Nazranaa for my engagement outfit, which I loved, I decided to return to Nazranaa because they were very reliable, had great tailoring, and understood my style.

My wedding dress shopping was a bit different and harder. I had no idea what my dream dress was. I knew I wanted a silhouette that only a bride could wear, and since I was going to wear this for my reception, I wanted a bit of sparkle. I was that girl who tried on a hundred dresses but could not decide. However, I ultimately decided on my Ines Di Santo dress when my aunt saw it on a mannequin and asked me to try it on. Once I tried it on, I loved how it fit me and while it had sparkle, it was not too overwhelming. Overall, I loved Vera Wang and Ines Di Santo the most.

What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
Shopping for the outfits was very fun! All of the stores and boutiques we worked with were so helpful. I enjoyed selecting accessories and finding unique pieces.

Booking the various artists was also very fun. We were lucky they were available and able to perform during our wedding weekend.

What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
I think our guests were in love with the venue and Mandap on our wedding day. Additionally, we had many popular West Indian artists throughout the wedding weekend. Many guests were excited to see those artists perform live.

Traditionally, the family would prepare a spread called "seven curry", which includes 7 curries for the wedding day. However, at a venue, that is not possible. Leading up to the wedding, we sampled seven curry from many different vendors. However, Fazee's Delight was our favorite, and our guests loved the seven curry.

Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
I knew Tushar used to play the harmonium growing up, so I always asked him to sing, but he never did. However, on our wedding day, under the Mandap, he sang part of a song we used to listen to together for me. It was such a surprise, and I felt so loved during that moment. He was so brave to do that in front of everyone.

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.
For our henna/sangeet night, we transformed my home yard into a colorful, enchanted garden. We did many traditional outfits and customs for most of the wedding weekend, so on this day we tried to have fun. Tushar and I wore lavender outfits with pearls. I tried to find unique foods and decided to have Bubble Tea served fresh on the day for our guests. We also had a live band, the Angels Caribbean Band, featuring Geeta Bisram. They sang many Bollywood, Soca, and Chutney songs. They were so good that some people didn't realize it was a live band.

I considered doing the henna/sangeet at a venue to make logistics easier. However, I love the intimacy and the energy of having the henna/sangeet night at home, and ultimately decided that would work best for us.

On our reception day, the final day, we had a surprise Ravi B performance. He was great! During the reception, he had such great energy and engaged all of our guests, even those who didn't know anything about soca music. What's great about Ravi B is that he has a lot of range - he did Soca, Chutney, Bollywood, Pop, and Reggaeton! He made us feel really special, and he was so kind to our guests after the performance.

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
If you are like me and have trouble visualizing elements of your wedding, give yourself sufficient time to try on outfits, visit venues, and decor studios. It helps to see things in person rather than on a Pinterest board.

Get a planner and a day of coordinator! Even if you are a type-A bride, it will be helpful.

Anything else you want to tell us? We'd love to hear all about your other details! (jewelry, mehndi, venue, cake, bouquets, etc.)
I loved the drama of a long veil for both my wedding and reception day. On my wedding day, my red lengha had a long train, and my veil was also long. Prior to walking down the aisle, my sister and cousin performed to Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. They did such a great job, and I was so impressed, considering they learned this choreography in a few weeks. Thank you to International Dancer Zaman for putting together this entrance dance for them.

Music and live performances were at the heart of the celebration, with performances by Rakesh Yankaran, Ravi B, Angels Caribbean Band featuring Geeta Bisram, Randy Recklez, Babloe Shankar, and Vishale Samlall helping shape the atmosphere throughout
