While the Seattle area continues to get pummeled by rain and with winter just around the corner, now is the perfect time to have a destination wedding – somewhere where your dress is less likely to get soaked! 😉 Napa is nice this time of year… and speaking of… here is part II of Avantika & Josh’s gorgeous Hindu wedding at the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) at Copia in… Napa! Following on the heals of their breathtaking wedding at the Bently Reserve in San Francisco, their Hindu wedding at the CIA was a spectacular display of color! And we loved capturing every minute of it!

Congratulations Avantika & Josh! We wish you all the best in your new lives together as husband and wife! Enjoy another sneak peek, this one featuring more from you Hindu ceremony and the speeches and performances that followed!Taking their seven steps together.After the ceremony, married women come whisper words of advice for the new bride!
And following the nose squeeze the groom received after his baraat, he got the ear treatment as well! 🙂It was quite beautiful with the tables interspersed within the chef’s gardens at CIA at Copia.The amphitheater was quite a spectacular setting for the wedding and reception!View part I here.
