Welcome to Shweta Parikh and Nirav Patel's wedding in Lakewood, New Jersey.

While around 500 guests assembled in Rhinebeck for Chelsea's big day, 650 people gathered in Lakewood over four days, where the scale and spectacle rivaled the very best of Bollywood.

The bride changed outfits five times, culminating in her 18-foot, deep-red silk wedding sari, worn to Saturday's ceremony. There, her bridal party was resplendent in embroidered saris in lush blues, greens, magentas and golds. The groom was decked out in a gold and red sherwani and entered the affair on a white horse adorned with bells, a bejeweled headpiece and a beaded saddle.

The hall was filled with thousands of rose petals and orchids flown in from Thailand. The wedding canopy was made of silk patterned with thousands of crystals.
