The reception
Love that kissing menu, and the placards with the name of places on each table. Not sure what those signify, but maybe places the couple have visited together? Or would want to visit together?. Neat detail! From the bride: I always knew I wanted a black tie wedding. My vision for my big day was basically something out of a Vanity Fair or Vogue photoshoot— men in a tux, women in gowns, the whole works. But I also wanted to make sure that both set of parents get to have their vision and dreams fulfilled. So we combined the two worlds— we had a traditional Jain- Hindu wedding in the afternoon and a strictly classy black tie reception at night. Some of my favorite ideas at our wedding was when we incorporated a Kissing Menu— which meant that overtime the guests wanted Gaurav and I kiss, they had to perform a little something— a dance, a song, a skit anything. We even danced a Jewish Horah at our wedding because of it. We wanted to create a red carpet premiere kind of feeling so we had a wall with our monograms at the background which was something the crowd just ate up! Everyone loved it and it was a big hit! Then we had lots of games throughout the night with the sister of the groom and the best man emcee-ing all night :) I just wanted to be an Oscar De La Renta bride! I found the gown of my dreams which I wore to my reception- it was a Pink Oscar Bridal Ball Gown. I paired it up with Manolo Blahnik heels, and for the Hindu wedding I went with a pink lehenga with delicate embroidery from Surekha Jain. Oh btw Anu- the bride also blogs at Tea for two !!Vendors: Wedding Photography : The Youngrens | Ceremony & Reception Location : The Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay | Cake : Studio Cake | Bridal Outfits : Pink gota patti lehenga by Surekha Jain, Gown by Oscar de la Renta | Grooms Sherwani: Heritage South Extension | Shoes : Manolo Blahnik | Make-Up & Hair : The Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay Spa | Wedding Invitations : Wedding Paper Divas | Florist: Pico Designs California
