From Shutter Life Productions… We were so excited to spend a few days with Amrita and Sandeep for their Indian wedding! You could not spend time with a more warm, hospitable family, and the colors and traditions were so much fun! We started out with Amrita’s Mehndi party where she got all of her Henna done for the wedding. My favorite part was seeing the Henna artist put Sandeep’s name in a secret location on Amrita’s hands, for Sandeep to search for later. The next night we attended the reception where both sets of parents put beautiful bangles on Amrita’s wrists. There was wonderful food, dancing, and tons of joy! Amrita looked incredible in her forest green gown.

When their wedding day came around, I was in Indian Princess heaven! Sandeep arrived majestically on a gorgeous white horse! For the ceremony, Amrita was wearing the most beautiful red bridal outfit imaginable, and she designed it herself. She also designed the hot pink detailed saris for the bridesmaids! I loved when the bridesmaids had to steal Sandeep’s shoes from him before the ceremony! They were so proud! The ceremony was a time of joy, with everyone sitting on the floor watching with love and adoration.

After the ceremony, we headed over to Amrita’s family’s house for a few more traditions before the reception. Sandeep had to negotiate a price with the bridesmaids to enter her house and get her! When he finally had the right amount, he was allowed to cut the ribbon and enter. Before the reception began, it was time for Amrita to change into the most incredible, gorgeous white Indian bridal gown. She also had a new set of stunning jewelry that we were all swooning over! The night was gorgeous and filled with a surprise choreographed dance from the couple, amazing speeches, and a ridiculously fun dance party. Amrita is one of the most genuinely loving and beautiful people that we know, a true princess, and Sandeep was nothing short of her Prince!
