An Elegant Elephant Photoshoot at a Private Estate

We designed this jaw-dropping elephant photo shoot at a gorgeous private estate in San Diego, surrounded by gardens of trees and open sky. With elegance and uniqueness in mind, our Wedding Elegance by Nahid team created the perfect setting for photographer Justin Lee to capture beauty of the setting.

The elephant, supplied by Have Trunk Will Travel, was draped in bold, beautiful colors, giving the shoot a majestic feel as our bride and groom took their places with the gorgeous animal. Artquest Flowers spread beautiful white roses throughout the shoot, bringing attention to the amazing details surrounding our design.

To add a sense of fun to the shoot we designed an incredible dessert bar to include neatly tucked cotton candy in martini glasses and other colorful candies and desserts displayed in different pieces of glassware and china.

San Diego Museum of Art Wedding

We loved this San Diego Museum of Art wedding so much we can’t stop reminiscing with these gorgeous photos by Braja Mandala Wedding Photography, as featured on Maharani Weddings!  Adorations Botanical Artistry did an incredible job with the floral design, adding to the stunning splashes of bright colors throughout the traditional Sikh ceremony and bold reception. The bride was dressed in a beautifully colorful lengha and covered in gorgeous Henna by Henna San Diego.

“Welcome to a floral fantasy courtesy of Adorations Botanical Artistry and Wedding Elegance by Nahid, Maharanis! At the traditional Sikh ceremony, our sweet couple is tying the knot amid bountiful bouquets of red and yellow roses, pink amaranthus, and white hydrangeas, and the scene is an absolute dream. With the help of Makeup by Souad, this bride is dressed in a stunning colorful lengha and she totally shines in every photo from Braja Mandala Wedding Photography. Such a beauty! And once she steps into her elegant reception in a deep blue gown, it’s time to hit the dance floor where Riamu Entertainment is bringing the best Bollywood beats!” – Maharani Weddings

Hotel Del Coronado Wedding

This Hotel Del Coronado wedding was so much fun to plan with Brittany & Jarrod! Everything was bright pink with black touches, from the bridesmaids dresses and flowers to the ceremony and reception decor.  After walking down a down a pink petal-filled aisle way, Brittany made her way to an archway covered in beautiful pink flowers.  The reception had black linens and chair covers with hot pink sashes.  There was also a pink and black candy bar and a gorgeous cake with layers of  pink roses.

Thank you to Laura B Scott Photography for capturing this special day!
