After their spectacular destination wedding and reception in San Francisco, it was off to Napa for their Hindu wedding celebration at the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) at Copia! These two looked absolutely amazing!!! Avantika wore a gorgeous pink lehenga with gold accents (love the detail!) and Josh wore a dapper matching sherwani. After their first look up on the balcony at the CIA, Josh joined the growing crowd near the chef’s garden for what was certainly nothing less than an epic baraat! At the end of his long journey by horse ;-), he was treated to a festive greeting by Avantika’s family. We loved the joy and smiles that characterized their beautiful Hindu ceremony in the mandap.

Congratulations Avantika & Josh! Enjoy part I of your absolutely beautiful Hindu wedding at the CIA! More to follow soon!What an absolutely stunning lehenga!A seriously epic baraat!
The bride’s mother typically pinches the groom’s nose (suddenly and without warning, I might add!)  to remind him that she’s in charge! 😉
