Our Maharani Seema on her wedding style:

"We wanted lots of bright jewel tones colors -- the brighter, the better! The mandap was a key focal point and we want to make sure it really popped. When I saw the chandeliers at our wedding venue, I knew it was the perfect added touch to go with the mandap and the bright colors. Once we mixed in our very colorfully dressed guests, it truly rounded the look off."

On planning the wedding:

"We really loved our wedding planner, Kirstin Karklin, from LOLA Event Productions. Since many of our guests had not previously attended an Indian wedding, we wanted them to get the full experience. Kirstin not only understood that but made our dreams a reality! We had tons of bright colors, high energy music, and, of course, lots of dancing!"

On her bridal fashion:

"The day after we got engaged, I was at my parent's house and decided to do a quick search on the Internet for a wedding lengha. My mom suggested a couple websites and within five minutes on the first website, l knew I had found the perfect lengha. I showed it to my lol and she loved it. We ordered it right then and there. And I still love it"

Meet me back here for the second wedding ceremony and reception as we heard it was quite the event!
