You Call Me A Mountain....and I Call You The Sea

As promised....the gorgeous couple from the video in the post below had another just as enchanting video for the engagement party and save the date (both by Bob Nicolas.)

1st Video- Save the date the                                 

2nd Video- Engagement Party

I think the save the date video is super creative and uniquely fresh. And the couple being super HOT, doesn't hurt, eh!? But, on a serious not you can truly see how talented Bob and his team are with both of these video's.

Also, how much do you love the 1st speech in the engagement video. This couple definitely seem like ABSOLUTE ROCKSTARS! Hope you enjoy.

Magical Memories

Another artistically beautiful video by Sid and Mili Ghosh of Memories in Motion . They really never do stop to amaze me and can bring out the best of emotions. Just by watching this video you can truly see just how magical this couple is. From reading the brief description on the Memories in Motion website and by watching the video you can see that every event at their wedding was inspired by a different culture or region of the world (such a great idea!!!). Also, notice the phenominal clothing choices of Jiten and Nisha- Can we say SPECTACULAR!!!! Or better yet, can I ask her to come shopping with me every year?

PS...I know this is going to be a little backwards, but after I saw this video by Memories in Motion, I just had to see if there were any weddings pictures, or save the date videos and I did find some...so look out for those. You will not be disappointed!!!

Just in case you were wondering the meaning behing Aliph Aur Meem:

Aliph = ‘A’, Meem = ‘M’ and Aur = ‘And’ in Urdu. When translated, these are the initials of AliphAurMeem’s lead photographers Asad and Mehreen. Very Cute idea!!

Glamourous Thailand Wedding

This glamourous wedding of Rashmi and Kunal was held in Thailand at the Sheraton HuaHin Resort & Spa near Bangkok. I really just wanted to showcase the bride and groom's outfit's as they are just so beautiful and really fit each night's theme to the core.

Welcome Dinner

The welcome dinner was for close family and friends but the bride still wanted to look stylish. The brides dress was designed by Shantanu and Nikhil. The groom wore grey pants and a black shirt from Arjun Khanna and a maroon waistcoat by Sabyasachi.

Greek theme Ring ceremony/Masquerade ballThis was the first big function for this wedding weekend and all the guests had arrived and would be seeing the couple for the first time. The theme was Greek and the dress code 'Coats and Gowns', since the ring ceremony was to be followed by a Masquerade Ball, the bride and groom picked creations appropriate for both functions. The bride wore royal blue flounced and layered chiffon gown from Mumbai-based designer Pia Gehani. To complement the gown the bride chose a classic diamond set from Popley Eternal and a thick diamond bracelet designed by Varuna D Jani. The groom wore black jodhpuri pants with a band gala jacket from Etro in Mumbai. This was by far one of the most beautiful gown's I have seen!

Indo-Western for Pool Party

This was when the Bride decided to get her mehendi done to her hands and feet, while everyone just relaxed casually by the pool. She chose a white georgette and silk knee length dress with pure gotta and pink pleated detailing, this too was designed by Pia Gehani.

Jodha Akbar theme for Sangeet

The theme for the night was Jodha Akbar and the dress code was Sherwanis and Anarkalis. The bride wore a full-sleeves green anarkali with a green lehenga and a blue dupatta which was designed by Babita Malkani. The groom wore a cream and gold sherwani from Neeta Lulla (this was similar to what Hirthik Roshan wore in Jodha Akbar) which had a touch of green to complement the bride's outfit. To match the theme the bride wore ethnic gold jewelry with coral and emeralds designed by Sabyasachi.

Traditional WeddingThe bride and groom wanted a very traditional look and chose to get both outfits made by Ahmedabad-based Shyamal and Bhumika.  The bride's outfit is an extension of the designers 2010-11 bridal collection and was specially designed keeping in mind the Wedding’s theme and colors. The groom's ensemble was also a part of the same collection and he wore an emerald green velvet sherwani style jacket with a crepe silk gold dhoti.

The bride's gold set with jadhau pieces are made from Popley Eternal and she also wore traditional maroon punjabi chuda's (wedding bangles).



Victorian theme Reception
The bride chose a glamorous Indo-western lehenga by Shantanu and Nikhil for the reception since she wanted something unique. The top was a silver corset with a fuchsia pink flower on the shoulder and crystal chains hanging from it. The lehenga was fuchsia pink with silver work and touches of grey at the bottom. The groom picked a classic black tux from Armani. The bride's diamond set was from Varuna D Jani.

The Royal Wedding

Prince William married Kate Middleton this morning who will now be known as the Duchess of Cambridge. The wedding was viewed by about 2.5 billion people around the world. The wedding precession was quite extravagant while the actual ceremony was sweet and simple. The couple truly does make a beautiful and happy couple.

For those of you who may be interested in the fashion details, Kate wore a dress by Alexander McQueen which I might say was so elegant, classy and quite surprisingly modern. I loved the lace sleeves and the cut that Kate admires so much. She also wore a tiara designed by Cartier called the "Halo" tiara which was lent by the Queen who received it for her 18th birthday from her mother. The earrings were given to Kate as a wedding present from her parents and they were inspired by the Middleton family's new coat of arms and was made by local jeweler Robinson Pelham. The wedding ring given to Kate from Prince William during the ceremony was created by Wartski, a family owned antiques dealer.

Special thanks to Anthony DeMarco on the Forbes Blog and Laveena of Fashion Inquisitive for providing photos and information.

Purple Passion Inspiration Board

Happy Monday!

How spectacular is the Purple wedding inspiration board below! I actually created it using Style Me Pretty's Inspiration board generator, which by the way I am obsessed with. I think weddings enhanced in lavender or rich purples are absolutely sultry and divine. There is something very regal about the color purple.

Purple's are usually incorporated in Autumn and Winter weddings. But, adding a bright summer color such as lime green, hot pink, or yellow in addition to purple could make it a perfect decision for your wedding color palette in the summer or spring!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

In Honor of St. Patrick's Day, I thought I would dedicate a post to a green theme'd wedding. Whether you really are planning a wedding on St. Patricks day next year or simply love the emerald shade- there's a little something for everybody.

Put a new spin on your wedding with beautiful greenery, subtle hints of green in your cake (look at the beautiful ombre cake!!), a touch of green in your dress, or bridesmaids desses. And ofcourse don't forget the guinness cocktails! Hope you all are having a 'lucky' day!

My Concept or Yours?

I remember when my sister got married 10 years ago, her wedding video's were recorded on VHS (all 10 of them)... I don't think people nowadays even know what VHS stands for let alone watch 10 videos of footage. Nowadays, you can not only get your wedding events on DVD, but there's HD, blue-ray and you can even get a video montage or flashback video which can summarize ALL of your events in about 30 minutes.  It's amazing how far we have progressed with technology. "Yipppie" , you say? Well, as I always say things always get better and better. This past year or two, on every imaginable wedding blog or website I have seen numerous "concept video's". Some of them AMAZING, some of them very unique, and some of them that are just out of this world.

You ask, "What exactly is a concept video?" Have you ever imagined making your own music video? Or imagined having your proposal on video for all to see? Well, that's exactly what a concept video is. It's an idea that you make into a short film that you can show at your reception, use as a save-the-date or even send to your guests as a thank you. It's really what you make of it. So start figuring out with your hubby- my concept or yours?

Here's a video all sports fans will love. The couple Sapna and Sanjeev used their concept video as their wedding invitation. Each of these DVD's was included with an insert of all the wedding functions. I must say pretty creative and cute!

And, I found the video below after I stalked Hakim Sons Films online (to be more precise my bff Google helped me out). No, I don't need to be arrested unless I'm arrested for being AWESOME.

Oh What a Beautiful Day, Especially with the Photographs.

I am super excited to share all the pretty images below by destination wedding photographer Laura Grier from Beautiful Day Photography. She truly captures the moment with her epic portraits and images filled with freshness and beauty! I actually came by her pictures when I found the rickshaw photobooth idea. See how one great thing leads to another!!??  Hope you enjoy these as much as I do.
