From Art Enthusiasts to Lifelong Friends

Tell us about your love story
Kohen and I have known each other since 2014 when we were just 14 years old. We met through a mutual friend (who, funny enough, we now both agree wasn’t the best matchmaker), and our connection was instant. Our first meeting took place at the Metropolitan Museum, which Kohen planned because he knew how much I loved art. He calls it our “first date,” but to me, it was just two friends hanging out. That day was filled with laughter as we made up stories about the art around us and joked about recreating some of the more abstract pieces. Little did we know that this fun-filled day would be the beginning of something beautiful.

When my family moved to Texas, our bond grew stronger despite the distance. Kohen always says he knew I was “the one” from the moment we met. It took me a bit longer to realize it, but when I finally did, he was ready. He flew to Texas to ask me to be his girlfriend, and a year later, we were engaged. After two years of planning and celebrations, we’re now happily married.

What was your vision for your wedding day?
Kohen and I both come from big families, and our main goal was to make our wedding a memorable and joyful event for everyone. We wanted to blend the traditions we grew up with while adding touches that reflected our own personalities. It was important to us that our wedding honored our cultural roots while still feeling like an extension of who we are as a couple.

How did you find your bridal outfits, and what was your experience like at Khajana Boutique?
I was on the lookout for outfits that would feel timeless, but also uniquely mine. Like many brides, I went through a lot of frustration trying to find designs that felt right. That all changed when I stepped into Khajana Boutique in New Jersey. The moment I walked in, I felt a sense of relief. I didn’t just see beautiful outfits; I felt a connection with the boutique’s story and the passion behind their work.

When I met the owner, she took the time to understand my vision and even remembered me from my first visit. She shared her journey in the fashion industry and how she built Khajana from her love for traditional bridal wear. Her dedication and warmth made all the difference. I found my perfect white lehenga for the nikah—it had the classic, elegant look I was dreaming of, with intricate details that made it truly one-of-a-kind.

What about your mehendi outfit?
After the incredible experience with my nikah lehenga, I knew I had to return to Khajana for my mehendi outfit. This time, I was looking for something vibrant and lively to match the joyful energy of the celebration. The team at Khajana helped me find a stunning orange lehenga that was just perfect. The fabric, the embroidery, and the overall fit—it all came together beautifully.

From the initial consultation to the final fitting, the entire process was seamless. Khajana made sure that everything was tailored to perfection, and I never felt rushed or pressured. They truly listened to my ideas and brought them to life in a way that felt effortless. It’s that level of care and attention that sets them apart, and it’s why I keep recommending them to all my friends, even those in Texas.

What did you love most about working with Khajana Boutique?
What I appreciated most was the personal touch. The team at Khajana treated me like family. They were always just a text away if I had any concerns or changes I wanted to make, and they went above and beyond to ensure that my outfits were exactly how I envisioned them. It wasn’t just about making a sale for them; it was about making sure that I felt like the most beautiful version of myself on my wedding day.

Khajana gave me more than just beautiful outfits—they gave me a sense of confidence and joy that carried through my entire wedding experience. I couldn’t have imagined a better partner in making my dream wedding a reality.

Why would you recommend Khajana Boutique to other brides?
Khajana Boutique is perfect for any bride who wants a wedding outfit that feels special and unique. Their attention to detail, commitment to listening to your vision, and their ability to create a stress-free experience make all the difference. For anyone looking to blend tradition with their own personal style, Khajana is a treasure.
