A Colorful and Glitzy Indian Wedding in LA at Black and Gold Golf Club

In the canvas of life, it is the love stories that pack all the colors. It adds the hues where it is needed. The most intriguing fact about a love story is how every love story goes through the same basic milestones, but still completely different and unique in its way. Just like there are so many different people in this life, there are just as many love stories too, each unique and different, and bearing stories of their own, and adding textures and colors to the fabric of life. We are lucky that we get to witness so many love stories on the regular, in all the varied spectrums of society.

 

There are so many different people all belonging to different communities and upbringings with different ways of celebrating a wedding, which makes weddings such an interesting social event. While Jewish weddings generally involve gathering under the chuppah to say the vows, the Greek weddings involve these gorgeous Stefana crowns which are then intertwined three times to symbolize the couple’s union. It is these different traditions surrounding the different cultures which make weddings just an enriching experience. Our country being such a melting pot of different cultures, we are lucky to be exposed to the different styles of weddings. Dhithya and Sumeet’s gorgeous, fun and colorful Indian wedding had us in awe of its vibrancy and vigor. While every love story is wonderful, there is something about this couple’s special day which immediately makes one’s day just by their absolute cheerfulness and the spread of bold hues and the feel-good vibes. We love the bright colors, the celebratory vibe in the air, and all the glitz and glamor that comes with an Indian wedding- from the sparkling jewelry to the fresh flowers to the grand gestures! Are you ready to take a peek at Dhitya and Sumeet’s special day?

 

Dhithya and Sumeet chose Los Angeles as the backdrop for their special day, and it was an amazing choice of course! Known to be the land of palm trees and sunny days, Los Angeles is a beautiful city of artists and art, and brings with it magnificent tell-tale palm trees, warm weather, and the tinsel town “Hollywood'' sparkling and casually existing just a ride away. Los Angeles is a city where aspirations come true and play the role of a foster home of every striving talent and a playground for artists and canvas for art. A city whispering promises of glitz and glam, Los Angeles is highly diverse and creative, bringing with it striking strokes of character and interest. Situated on the cusp of various different terrains, LA gets the best of many worlds! Resting right by the Pacific Ocean and enhanced with beautiful mountains and deserts, LA is nothing less than a treasure trove for a couple in love. There is so much to experience here, from the exciting Disneyland Park to the glittering Hollywood Sign, from the Griffith Observatory to the Universal Studies.

On the wedding day, Dhithya and Sumeet got ready for their special day with all the excitement in the world. Dhithya posed candidly with her girls as they were all getting ready and were gathered for a pre-ceremony toast! While Dhithya wore a white robe as she got ready, her bridesmaids donned an eclectic mix of different outfits, some dressed in traditional Indian salwar kameez while others wore dresses and loungewear of their choice. Dhithya soon slipped into a bridal outfit, a gorgeous blue and pink saree, with a matching pink blouse. Her makeup was bright and colorful, and perfect for her desi (Indian) wedding and we love her choice of traditional jewelry, be it the kamarbandh (the jeweled belt) or maang tika (the headgear), the nose pin, earrings, or necklaces, all coming together to make the traditional Indian bridal look complete. She wore bright red bindi (a colored dot worn in the center of the forehead) and blue and red bangles which complemented the look beautifully. Her hair was arranged in a long braid and was adorned with fragrant flowers which looped around her braid delicately, which was typical of South Indian weddings. Sumeet looked equally phenomenal in his beige sherwani embossed in golden motifs, bright red turban, and matching dupatta and a pair of traditional red shoes completed his look perfectly. The bridesmaids all wore different teal sarees and lehengas, all dressed up in Indian jewelry, looking festive and gorgeous. The groomsmen on the other hand wore yellow kurtas with teal dupattas. Together the wedding party looked like quite the colorful and joyous bunch, like a bouquet of wildflowers in the riotous mix of colors! 

 

After the couple got ready, they had their first look moment, which was beautifully captured by our Los Angeles wedding photographers. The couple posed for stunning couple portraits and also Dhithya got some bridal portraits taken too. The couple also posed by the beautiful aisle, at the end of which the wedding ceremony was to happen. The arbor was adorned with gorgeous foliage and flowers and the mustard yellow fabric drapes were just the perfect touch to the setting. Our LA wedding photographers did the phenomenal job of capturing the groom with the groomsmen, the bride with her bridesmaids, and the whole wedding party together in the most perfect frames. The couple also posed by the horse which was festively decorated for the event. In Indian weddings, the groom arrives at the venue on a white female horse, quiet in a knight-in-shining-armor fashion, and our lovely couple wanted to do this tradition justice by incorporating it into their wedding! Sumeet looked quite dashing sitting on the horse as he made the grand entrance to get to his bride! The bride and the groom both were accompanied by their family members to the mandap, the seated arrangement where the actual wedding is performed by the pandit in a Hindu wedding ceremony. After the wedding ceremony was done and the family group photographs were taken, the couple went in to change into their reception outfits. 

 

The couple made an appearance after a quick change and Dhithya wore a beige and red lehenga with a matching dupatta (a long veil-like fabric) and gold jewelry to tie the look together. Her gold headgear added to the princessy vibe. Sumeet wore a navy blue suit with a crisp white shirt, red vest, and matching red bow-tie and pocket square. The red rose he wore as his boutonniere and the tan pair of shoes completed the look. While his groomsmen changed into matching black suits with teal neckties, the bridesmaids still sported the stunning teal ensembles. After some couple portraits against the beautiful waterfall, the couple exchanged rings, and now it was time for some more group photography, and our professional and affordable wedding photographers in Los Angeles did a fabulous job of capturing that! As the sun sank down the horizon, the wedding photographers in LA took this opportunity to capture the duo in some gorgeous silhouette photography, the result was just magical! We also love the snaps taken by the white fencing as they looked eternally romantic and timeless, and definitely frame-worthy! After the photo session, the couple went in to join their guests for their wedding reception back in the clubhouse which was decorated optimally for this occasion, and the party was just getting started!

 

The decor of this wedding was well-thought-out and was full of careful consideration of details. The abundance of nature seems to be the running theme here, with plenty of natural lighting, manicured landscapes, and the rocky waterfalls and picturesque streams playing the perfect additive to the frames. We love the rustic mountain elements which were carefully balanced with the luxurious lush grounds of the wedding location. The colors of the wedding were vibrant and bold, yet they all worked together closely to bring the day alive in the perfect way. From the grand foliage arch used for the actual wedding ceremony to the pale yellow drapes, from the classy reception area to the romantic vibe, every element of this wedding is well-thought-out to create the perfect dream wedding for this gorgeous duo! The wedding venue provided abundant backdrops for several stunning wedding photography options.

 

True love sure happens with a magic of its own, but dream weddings don't happen overnight. They take meticulous planning, tons of phone calls, and lots of trials and errors. Planning for your dream wedding takes patience, flexibility, and massive problem-solving skills. However, after months of planning and pruning and carving out that perfect wedding plan, when the day finally arrives, it is gone way too soon! While a wedding day is definitely one of the magical days in a couple's life, it is also seemingly the fastest day. However, even though the wedding day is gone in a blink, the memories from the day will stay on forever. The details like the way your partner twirled you during the first dance, the way the flowers were full of fragrance as you said your vows, and the way your dad wiped away a silent tear as he walked you down the aisle are all moments that are priceless and will forever live on, mostly in your memory, and also- in photographs. Your wedding photographer is probably the most well-worth return of the money that you spend on them, as they will essentially freeze all of those delicate moments into memories for you to look back on forever.

The couple was captured in some stunning couple photography along with some group photography that featured friends and family. We love the contrast of the bold colors against the bright sunny day and lush greenery of the location, which added a memorable touch to this Los Angeles wedding! We love the silhouette shots, the couple portraits shot beside the white fencing, and we especially love the candid shots of the couple and the well-choreographed group photographs which are sure to bring in some fun memories in the years to come!
