Good morning ladies! Today we kick off the last month of the year with a beautiful wedding filled with emotions and bliss! Sonal and Karan's nuptials are just what they dreamed of and more. They meticulously planned and organized a lovely series of functions at the Hilton Charlotte Airport. This exclusive location's splendor served as the setting for a Sangeet festivity, a traditional ceremony, and a glamorous reception night. Floral artwork and decor for all events were in charge of Ketan Shah. Her team created every décor detail, from the intricate reception stage drapery to the romantic ceremony mandap that framed the wedding rituals. The talented Bhowmik Dave Films & Photography captured all these unique details. Their camera registered all this grandeur and created an inspiring photo album so our newlyweds can look back at their happy memories whenever they desire! To mark the beginning of a new life chapter in style, Maharani Sona opted for a series of bridal outfits that displayed stunning motifs and exquisite patterns expertly crafted and designed by Ritu Selects. Asian Divas' glam squad created each makeup look to enchant her Raja, while Henna4Happiness by Minaz created the perfect paisleys and figures of her bridal Mehndi. I love that all her styles were classic while still being glamorous! Karan's attires were equally stylish. This groom channeled his inner Maharaja for his ceremony by wearing stunning outfits in rich red hues for his traditional ceremonies and wore an elegant dinner jacket for the reception. I am sure these looks will inspire you, Maharanis! The pair treated their guests to a reception beyond all expectations with an epic dance party and a delicious feast, thanks to Mr Paanwala and Madz Bakery! Want to see more?

Maharanis, I hope this wedding will inspire you to jump aboard the wedding train. Have a wonderful day!

Happy Tuesday, ladies! We are so excited to unveil the perfect gateway in Cancun, Mexico. Rati and Shaunak's big Indian wedding was a fun, big traditional bash and, of course, a unique life experience. Dream Shaadi planned and crafted this destination wedding following the couple's vision and making it a reality. While Indian Destination Weddings' team did an extraordinary job helping arrange all customized travel activities for the couple and their loved ones! The happily ever after started with a colorful Garba night and a charming Haldi ceremony. And a tropical theme party welcomed their family and friends to Cancún! The couple used The Grand at Moon Palace resort's multiple event areas and private beach for their various festivities. I love the beach ceremony! It was a magical waterfront event with picturesque views of a turquoise ocean. Maharani Rati flaunted a collection of stunning outfits. However, the red lehenga she wore for her beach féte was the holly grail of her bridal trousseaus. The exquisite embroidery combined with her heavy jewelry worked exceptionally well. Shaunak was the ultimate Raja for the sun-soaked ceremony and looked incredibly dapper for the reception gala, modeling a red tie and loafers that popped against a deep purple jacket! I love his style. Dynasty AVE deejayed and made revelers dance to the beat of the best Bollywood beats amidst an idyllic decor. A champagne lady hanging on a hoop got drinks to the guests, and a fantastic three-tier cake added a touch of glam to the bash! Photographer Federico Salmeron Photography captured Rati and Shaunak's big days on Mexico's lush beaches, so you better don't miss our favorite moments of this elaborate destination wedding in our gallery! 

I hope you enjoyed this romantic oceanfront wedding in Cancun. Enjoy the day! See you tomorrow.

Ladies! We have a feeling you will love Naina and Niket’s wedding. Coming to us from Cincinnati, today’s wedding combines the beauty of traditions, the glam of modern weddings, and a true romantic love story. How perfect is that? Such a highly customized union needed no one else but Professional wedding planners Utsav Planners,Inc. They assisted the couple in planning their big days, allowing them to enjoy each event without worry. I’m sure they wouldn’t have done it any other way! The visionary team of Floral V Designs decorated the magnificent Savannah Center creating a visual narrative that left us starry-eyed! I love how the pink drapery looked against the golden pillars, while the floras added a touch of freshness to the scene. Exchanging vows under this beautiful structure must have been a dream come true. Making the Moment is the photographer the couple entrusted the task of capturing, possibly, one of the most important memories of their lives. I adore the images that resulted from the outdoor photoshoot in Savannah Center’s picturesque gazebo! The personality of this couple and their entourage really shine in these images. Of course, the queen of the celebrations, Maharani Naina, stood out with a fabulous bridal marigold lehenga set she completed with an impressive Kundan necklace for her ceremony. She later surprised her guests by swapping it for an exquisite deep beige outfit that she combined with flawless makeup by A Touch of Summer. She was an ode to beauty! The reception was equally important, so we are delighted they hired DJ Mavi Productions. These music pros helped them throw the ultimate party and celebrate their love! I a sure all photos will sweep you away as the story unfolds. Let’s go to our complete gallery to relive every minute of this grand wedding, shall we?

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