Happy Tuesday, Maharanis! You know that we only have the best of the best here in Maharani Weddings, and today's featured gallery, thanks to the marvelous visual talent of Rizwan Ghumro Studios, is everything you want out of a gorgeous couple like Maria & Osama. Maryam Islamic Center and Chateau Crystale were the venues of choice for the pre-wedding festivities, and the exclusive Signature Manor was chosen to host the long-awaited ceremony. Not to mention the fantastic wedding reception hosted at the Grand Hyatt Regency Houston Galleria. And each place was looking totally fabulous, to say the least! Everything was looking at its very best, thanks to Dream Decors Design House, who was behind the floral and decor! You totally know you are about to enter a wonderland of style when they are involved! Such talent! But what struck me the most was our Maharani's fashion sense and choices. She made the right call by trusting Fashion Face for her beauty needs. What can be more beautiful than a Maharani on her wedding day? We agree, nothing! Such an enchanting bride, of course, deserved the wedding of her dreams. Want to know what this jubilee is all about? Then head down to our gallery of the day and see it for yourself! Beware! Massive amounts of glam and romanticism are to be expected! I bet you will get tons of inspiration.

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
We met through a mutual family friend and our first date was at Grimaldi's Pizzeria (even though I don't like pizza but I couldn't tell him no). I knew he was "the one" because he was very chivalrous and even offered me his sweater on our first date.

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.
Overall, I enjoyed planning my four-day Pakistani wedding. I already knew which vendor I would choose for my hair & makeup so I really didn't have to "shop" around too much. All of my outfits were designed and purchased from boutiques in Pakistan which allowed me to customize bridal dresses for each day. The groom's side and the bride's side worked together to establish a unique decor theme that captured each event in its own unique way.

How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
I wanted an antique gold and dark red wedding dress. I worked with Samsara Couture House to design my ideal bridal outfit.

What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
Our guests loved the decor and the catering for each day. They had so much fun dancing and celebrating our special day!

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 reception (Valima) was hosted by the groom's side and all of our guests loved the elegance of the decor and the delicious food.

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
Make your dream come true. Whatever wishes and wants you have, make sure you obtain them since this is a one-of-a lifetime experience.

We can't wait to show you what we have prepared for tomorrow. So, please visit us!
