Chuck and Natasha’s love for one another was written in the stars. Their wedding weekend was full of festivities that kicked off with a Mendhi Party with a colorful Spanish tapas theme where each room held a different purpose from a dancing, dining to a mehndi application room. The following day, the couple wed on a gorgeous bluff overlooking the coast of the Pacific. The ceremony was beautifully decorated with a flower petal aisle. The chairs had been hand wrapped with tulle and a crystal band and the show stopping mandap was draped with beautiful flowers. After the ceremony, guests enjoyed a lunch reception and then went to get ready for the main event – the Starry Night Themed Wedding Reception. The ballroom was draped in soft white fabric and illuminated with a soft blue glow. Tables were covered with beautiful lux linens in a mix of sequined blue and gold. Everything from the gold draped chairs to the gold flatware they used to enjoy their traditional Indian cuisine were chosen to help carry out the reoccurring starry night theme. Guests danced under the twinkling lights of paper star lanterns and were treated to multiple Bollywood dance performances and a fog machine which created a cloud like element of dazzle and beauty.
