Welcome to Maharani Weddings

When Nitika & Chip decided to celebrate their love, they knew their wedding had to be as unique and vibrant as their journey together. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Asheville, NC, this wedding was the perfect blend of two cultures, two families, and two days of pure joy from the serene elegance of Chestnut Ridge, where they said, "I do."

The first day kicked off with a beautiful Christian ceremony, where Nitika looked stunning in a white gown, and Chip wore a sharp suit that made him look like he'd stepped straight out of a movie. From the heartfelt vows to the surprise Sangeet that followed, the night was a riot of color, music, and dance, setting the tone for the festivities. A special shoutout goes to the incredible team at "I Do" Asheville Weddings, the masterminds behind this magical celebration's flawless planning and design.

If you're looking for a unique and impeccably organized wedding, this is the dream team to make it happen! The floral arrangements and intricate details by Vikwabs Decor Design perfectly complemented the fusion theme, adding a magical touch to the festivities. 

On day two, things got wild. Chip's grand entrance was the stuff of Bollywood dreams. And yes, the turban ceremony? An absolute hit. Seeing Chip transformed into a regal groom for the Hindu ceremony made for a perfect moment, and plenty of amazing shots from Natasha Dale Photography. Now, let's talk about the reception. Forget your standard dance floor and cake-cutting routine—Nitika & Chip went above and beyond. The Restoration Hotel became a fun zone with bowling lanes, pool tables, and arcade games. Who knew weddings could be this fun? Their guests were entertained at every turn, and Martin Wedding Film captured the playful energy perfectly.

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
I met my now husband at garba - knew he was the one as soon as I saw the garba moves!

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
He proposed to me in Santorini - very private and intimate. We enjoyed our engagement island hopping in Greece - covering Crete, Naxos, Santorini, and Mykonos.

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.
This is not sponsored by Google but Google Sheets, Docs, and Slides saved my life. I was working full-time and studying part-time so organization was key to me. Right away, I had my to-do list on sheets, vision board on slides, and notes with my planner on docs.

I thoroughly enjoyed planning our wedding - while often stressful, it made it truly worth it when my guests left happy (I think and I hope!).

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
I always knew I wanted the classic red - while it was tempting to go for the neutrals, I really wanted the traditional red and a pop up colour given our backdrop was going to be the ocean.

What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
The most enjoyable part of the process was my weekly calls with the wedding planner, @mokshaweddings. Harsh and I loved brainstorming, curating individual details, and making our dreams a reality.

What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
Well - we did have a robot pouring tequila in people's mouths at the reception haha. But we believe the best part was the energy and love that every single guest brought to our wedding. We didn't feel like there were two sides, we felt everyone was having fun together and really there to celebrate us.

Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
The vows right before our wedding. I am so glad we did this in private because it was a very special and intimate moment. I also loved that our videographers used that as the background audio for our same day edit!

Also a big shoutout to my fiance and family for keeping me sane throughout the whole process.

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.
I spent MONTHS putting together the right vision board for the decor. I knew I needed to get the ideas right before getting estimates and executing. I wanted to provide a level of uniqueness to each event: food trucks & fireworks at sangeet, robots & late night pizza for reception, customized coconuts (w/ coconut water) & EDM-powered phera song, welcome bags at haldi. While there were hiccups throughout the weekend, I am grateful for how all the vendors executed the vision to the tee.

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
Enjoy every single moment - the engaged phase, the planning phase, and the week/weekend itself. It really does go by very quickly - so cherish every single moment. And don't let the external stresses get to yours and your fiances sanity.

A celebration of love, and unforgettable moments—this wedding was truly one for the storybooks.

It's a love story where tradition meets modern flair, and every moment looks straight out of a Bollywood blockbuster. That's precisely what unfolded when Keerthana & Suraj tied the knot at the magnificent Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel & Convention Center in Woodlands, TX. This platinum venue deserves all the love for providing the perfect backdrop for the couple's enchanting wedding, blending luxury and beauty in just the right way. A massive shoutout to Electric Karma for the meticulous planning that seamlessly made every intricate detail fall into place.

From the mehendi in a vibrantly chic Payal Singhal outfit to the reception in a breathtaking Gaurav Gupta ensemble, Keerthana proved she's an absolute fashionista with every look. Suraj, not one to be outdone, brought his A-game too.The couple's style was effortlessly synchronized as if they were living their couture catalog.

The celebrations started with the 'Haldi Happy Hour,' where the fun (and the turmeric) was aplenty! Keerthana & Suraj donned matching outfits by Meg Studios, and let's say they were dressed to get messy—in the most photogenic way possible. Cue the laughter and playful splashes of haldi as family and friends ensured they were thoroughly covered.

The Sangeet night was nothing short of electrifying, featuring the beats of Desi Junction DJs that got everyone off their feet and onto the dance floor. Dressed in Papa Don't Preach by Shubhika, Keerthana turned up the sass, while Suraj showed off his moves and style equally on-point in his own Papa Don't Preach attire. These two would have taken home gold if dance-offs were an Olympic sport.

Let's talk about the moment: Keerthana's grand wedding entrance. As she stepped into the beautifully decorated ceremony space, decked out by Décor One by Nalini, there were gasps of "Wow!" that you could hear across the room. And no, we're not exaggerating.

Suraj, looking regal in Bhargavi Kunam, smiled as he saw his bride, and we can't forget that perfect shot captured by Mir Anwar Studios. With cinematography that could put even rom-com trailers to shame, every precious moment was preserved like poetry in motion.

The reception was a fitting finale to this extravaganza—glamorous, glittering, and full of heartfelt speeches that had the crowd laughing and tearing up simultaneously.

This was a memorable wedding, from a colorful mehendi designed by The Original Henna Company to décor that transported guests to dreamland.

From breathtaking style to unforgettable moments -  it is indeed a celebration worth swooning over!

Trisha & Stefan's South Asian wedding blended tradition, emotion, and the natural beauty of Los Altos Hills, CA. Picture a serene backyard transformed into an enchanting wonderland, where every corner whispers love and elegance. Thanks to the talented planning by Two Perfect Events and With Flourish's stunning floral and decor work made the setting feel like a dream—a place where childhood memories met new beginnings.

The day began under a natural canopy of towering trees, the perfect spot for Trisha & Stefan to say "I do." Trisha, radiant in her intricately embroidered bridal outfit, stepped forward to meet Stefan, whose face radiated pure joy. As her lehenga caught the sunlight, guests let out a collective sigh—a genuine "wow" moment, knowing they were witnessing something extraordinary.

One particularly enchanting moment was when Trisha & Stefan stood beneath an arch adorned with golden marigold garlands. The light filtered perfectly through the petals, creating a scene reminiscent of the perfect love story ending—captured so beautifully by Inspired By Studio.

The reception featured long wooden tables adorned with vibrant wildflowers—a nod to Trisha's rustic-chic style. The colorful blooms blended with the natural surroundings, making it feel like the entire backyard was in celebration. Guests shared stories, clinked glasses, and danced as the sun set, with Kristen Marie's flawless makeup ensuring Trisha's glow remained radiant throughout.

Nirvana rocked the party while guests dined on a feast by Jalsa Catering—a culinary journey reflecting Trisha & Stefan's cultural heritage and modern flair. Overhead, 1,000 origami cranes, folded by friends and family, added luck and blessings to an already joy-filled evening.

The day's surprise came when Stefan arranged a vintage car from CLS Global Transportation for their departure—Trisha's love for old Hollywood charm coming to life. Watching them drive away with cans rattling behind was the perfect cinematic end to their big day—like a classic movie where everything falls perfectly into place.

A love story that will be remembered as enchanting, with every moment feeling like a fairytale.
