She is known for her exceptional artistic skills and creative designs that reflect South Asia's cultural and traditional values. Nina's mehndi designs were intricate and detailed, with every stroke showcasing Alvie's incredible talent. Alvie's friendly demeanor and professional approach made getting the mehndi done a delightful experience for Nina and her loved ones. The reception at The Waterfall was a grand affair, with Mama Te Events transforming the venue into a breathtakingly beautiful space. The decor was a perfect mix of elegance and sophistication, with stunning floral arrangements, intricate centerpieces, and twinkling lights creating a magical ambiance.

How did you meet your Groom, and when did you know he was "the one"?
My husband and I met at work. He was my biggest fan since the day he met me. One NYE evening out, during the middle of COVID, we talked about our fears and life goals. It was so easy. That's when I knew he was the real deal.

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
It was a no-brainer for me to go to India to do all my shopping; the selection is unbeatable. I went to Roopkala in Mumbai. I kept a really open mind but knew red was my power color. I loved the figures and animals on dresses and loved the separate color dupattas. So mine was perfect. I wanted a different color for each event. I got my henna outfit from an expo we happened to go to.

What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
My guests really enjoyed the food and venue. It was really important for me to have a wedding where everyone, including family, could have a good time. For us, that means great eats and good people. All the events were in the same resort, so there was no traveling for those who chose to stay. For me, that was worth the upcharge. The venue also had a private lobby for us so my entire family could just relax and catch up. The staff was incredible; they rallied after Hurricane Ian destroyed their venue and, for some, their homes. We were always still their number one priority.

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 really wanted a budget-friendly outdoor wedding. So, while I couldn't find a beach venue that would be easy to travel to (since it was a "destination" wedding) and accommodate my guest count, I was able to find a venue that could host an outdoor wedding and have ballrooms that had massive outdoor balconies for people to hang out. After sweating it out on the garba floor, that nighttime breeze with great food and friends was amazing. My decor team also completely understood me and my vision. I didn't want to splurge on decor, but I definitely wanted most events to be decorated. They did an amazing job of keeping it simple, beautiful, and super fun at the same time.

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
A good planner is essential- it is worth the money. I would easily cut other budgets down so that I could have someone take care of everything. My planners did an amazing job securing the vendors that made my event so special. They were able to help a lot with the workload, letting our parents handle the cultural aspects of the event. It was worth it. Also, pick your battles. The day will go as it goes, and all you will remember is how much love you are showered with.

Anything else you want to tell us? We'd love to hear all about your other details! (jewelry, mehndi, venue, cake, bouquets, etc.)
We did a digital invitation from Exotic Invites and limited the number of prints we did. The design and time difference was really tough, but it really set the tone for the wedding. I loved it, and so did my guests.

This lovely wedding was such a pleasure to see. I enjoyed every minute of it! See you tomorrow.

Detroit, MI Fusion Wedding by GaganHarnav Photography

Greetings, sweeties! Get ready to enjoy Aakruti & Ravisher's wedding in today's Platinum Guide Blog.

photo #371985

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
Ravi & I matched on Hinge towards the beginning of lockdown in 2020. We talked consistently and decided to meet up in May after both of us had negative Covid test...I know, romance at it's height! Honestly i dont know when Ravi became "the one", but everything with Ravi felt right. Our relationship started and it felt like we had been together for years! It's hard to believe this May we are approaching 3 years of being together.

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
Haha, our proposal! The funny thing is Ravi & I had our Roka/Rupiyo July of 2021...this was a whole year before Ravi even proposed to me! Ravi tried his hardest to surprise me with the proposal but I love a good mystery so when it seems like he is up to something I turn on my thinking cap and figure it out. Regardless of me guessing the day he was going to finally propose he still made everything special. Our day started with Ravi and I taking a helicopter tour of Downtown Detroit, i knew he wasnt going to propose at this point because he left the ring in the car console haha. After this we went to Brunch and stopped a cute boutique hotel to change into my second outfit. We ended up having a couple drinks here because is set up crew (sisters) were running a bit behind schedule haha. From here he drove us to this beautiful park and we walked to this lovely water fountain area. Ravi started acting nervous so i knew the moment was coming up. Then all of a sudden i hear old hindi songs and i start getting excited! I saw a camera set up so i knew the spot we needed to reach but because of Ravi's nerves he took me the "long route" and i saw his sisters hiding behind trees haha, He eventually got us to the sweet spot and dropped down to one knee and proposed. I wont give all the details of what he said because some things are meant to be between just us...but obviously i said YES! Then we went to the next part of our surprise. We went to paint pottery while we waited for our dinner reso. My parents and brother drove up to surprise me but when i called to show them the ring my dad was like "oh nice, we will see it soon..we are 1 hour away" hahaha. We ended that night getting picked up in a limo with both our families inside wait to celebrate with us. Went to dinner and it was the perfect end to the perfect proposal!

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 think like majority of the girls out there i knew what i wanted for my wedding, but being that im Gujarati and Ravi is Punjabi we ended up having 2 wedding ceremonies as well as our Sangeet & Reception. It was important for us to make sure both sides of the families felt involved. I am my parents only daughter and Ravi is the only son of his siblings so the weddings were a big deal on both side. I did all of our outfit shopping in India. I worked with Tina Singh of Marigold Weddings here in Michigan for wedding planning. She and her team were great! I told her what i wanted and envisioned and she delivered where she could and found me solutions to what we couldnt do. Both my hair and makeup girls were local to michigan as well. Simona Vigh did my hair and i personally think he crushed every look. We did a half up do for the Sangeet, 2 different type of low buns for both Weddings and a high ponytail for the Reception. My MUA was JHobby. Jahura was amazing! We picked eyes or lips to make the focal point and explored different looks! All in all wedding planning wasnt stressful and i enjoyed it. It definitely had it's ups and downs but the end results were absolutely worth it!

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
Most of my outfits where made by a designer friends in India, Pooja & Keyur. My Hindu wedding outfit was Anita Dongre and Reception was Falguni Shane Peacock. Originally i wanted to do a non traditional hindu wedding outfit. I wanted to do a soft pastels color for that ceremony. When my mom, masi & i reached Anita Dongre we started looking and trying things on. I fell in love with their Pichhwai paint work lengha. I picked a magenta one that i really liked! My mom wanted to see me in red so i tried it on and when i saw her eyes light up i knew i had to wear red! Im the type of person where I think i look good in all colors so colors werent as important for me, it was how i felt in the outfit.

What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
You would have to ask my guests haha! Mostly people loved our food, desserts, dj & party favor. Our food was catered by India House in Chicago, our desserts display was HUGE. Ravi and i both love a good dessert so we wanted to have varieties. We had like 4 cake flavors and so many mini desserts! Our desserts were traditional as well as a few fusion styles. Reva Constantine-Smith did our desserts and i highly recommend her to anyone who asks! We also had to go boxes at the end of the evening at the reception, both for desserts and for the late night snacks we provided. So many people told me they loved being able to take some fries and pizza with them after a long night of drinking & dancing. Our DJ kept everyone entertained and hyped on the dance floor. DJKingh for San Fran!

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
Take it one day at a time. There will be ups and downs regardless of the style or type of wedding you do. Make sure you and your to be spouse dont lose yourself in the planning. Be open and honest about needs vs wants. It's hard to get everything exactly your way and usually with desi weddings both families are heavily opinionated and involved. You and your partner need to be united and remember the whole weekend is about you guys and your love. Just celebrate your love to the fullest.

See you tomorrow, loves! We have many more Indian wedding stories for you to enjoy.
