The bride, escorted down the aisle by her father, wore a lace fit-and-flare design by Essense of Australia. While the gown was originally strapless, Megan’s mother added beaded straps to suit the bride’s style. In addition, the mother of the bride also customized wedge sneakers, adding beads and sequins from one of Megan’s childhood dance costumes. The bride’s alma mater was represented on the shoes, too — the Duke Blue Devils insignia lent “something blue” to the occasion.

Significant Events of Texas Indian Wedding featured at The Platinum Guide
Wednesday is here and also Dimple & Jiten’s electric celebration, coming all the way from Texas. The bride was looking absolutely impeccable during all the previous rituals and during the major ceremony. It had to be like that, the most important day of her life was just around the corner and she had to be glowing. The amazing talent of Samira’s Henna Designs and Henna By Zohra manifested and helped our bride rock a tremendous mehndi design that was all things artistic and evocative. Make Up by Aime assisted Maharani Dimple with all the colorful glitter on her skin and hair, and of course, JJ’s Saree Draping and their fine skills dressed our lovebird with the stunningly colorful lenghas we all love. That was definitely a class A glam squad!
