An Intimate Wedding at Wente Vineyards:

Usha and Chris hosted an intimate wedding with their closest 60 guests at Wente Vineyards, blending modern design with meaningful traditions. The ceremony took place under a stunning white floral arch, with Chris’ parents reading from the Bible, adding a personal and spiritual touch. As the sun .set, Usha and Chris took beautiful portraits overlooking the vineyard, capturing the golden hour’s soft glow. Later, Usha changed into a traditional red lehenga, embracing her heritage while dancing the night away on a black and white checkered dance floor. The modern reception design included white florals on dinner tables, acrylic place cards, and bistro lights that created an inviting ambiance for guests to celebrate.
