Share

Talk about a busy day! Carli and Raj’s big day consisted of two ceremonies and a reception! One classic American ceremony, one traditional Indian ceremony and a fabulous reception that mingled the two beautifully!
We love all of the color and detail of this wedding day, and you can see it all by visiting the full gallery and perusing the gorgeous images captured by Kreate Wedding Photography.

Love & Respect Your Vendors

From the Bride: My advice, hire vendors you feel comfortable with and respect their work.  They are the ones really creating your whole day on the day of.  I hired people that went above and beyond to make our day absolutely beautiful and I am so thankful for that.

The Perfect Day

Our wedding was a long day as we had two ceremonies.  I am sure there are a lot of little things we wish were slightly different.  Or that our day wasn’t so hot (95 degrees in October).  But, to be honest our day was just so perfect for us.  I don’t think we would really want to change one piece of our day.

Soft and Elegant + Bright and Colorful

From Kreate Weddings: The overall event design by L’Reylea events was absolutely extraordinary. The wedding had a soft and elegant, wine country feel by day that transformed into a magnificent, brightly colored Indian pavilion by night.

Handmade Beauty

The DIY Mandap (a temporary covered structure with pillarsfor a Hindu or Jain wedding) that was created was a work of fine art in itself. The artfully designed florals by ETC Designs were a perfect balance between delicate and rustic to bright, jewel tones for the Indian décor.
