Tradition Triumphs at Kennedy and Subha’s San Diego Wedding

06-01-18

“Colors and traditions,” Hindu weddings characterized! Kennedy and Subha hosted their gorgeously vibrant, traditional Hindu wedding ceremony at Bahia Sternwheelers and the reception at Bahia Resort Hotel, The Pond in San Diego, CA.

 

Shifting a little from tradition, the couple did not have a baraat, which is a wedding procession of the groom and his family. But the couple did dress-up quite traditionally. Subha wore a stunning red sari, gold jewelry and fabulous Jimmy Choo bridal shoes. We like this mix of tradition and modern style. Our handsome groom matched the bride in a red sherwani over a white kurta. We loved their coordination.

 

Full of tradition and sentiment, Kennedy’s getting-ready photos were truly heart-warming. But the couple’s first look photos, seemingly in a tropical setting, were even more sweet and romantic. We especially loved when Kennedy gave Subha a spin. Their smiles were enough to light up the whole place.

 

Subha chose a colorful bridal bouquet with red roses, yellow orchids, and white daisies. And who can forget the stunning jasmine crown in her hair.

 

Keeping true to Hindu weddings, the ceremony site was elaborately decorated in vibrant colors. Yellow swaths of fabric and intricately strung flowers brightened everything up. We loved how the colors of nature contrasted with the bright wedding colors at the venue.

 

The ceremony started with the tilak of the groom, the tradition of putting the red mark on his forehead and a garland around his neck. Subha was all smiles as she came to the mandap (the ceremony venue). The bride’s parents then blessed the union in the ritual of ‘kanyadan’ followed by a few other rituals meant to solidify the couple’s bond.

 

In contrast to the ceremony’s rich décor, the reception décor was simpler. But the 4-tier wedding cake, in gold motif and flowers, was heavenly. Too pretty to eat!

 

Kennedy and Subha changed outfits for their reception. Subha looked ravishing in her white dress. Their San Diego wedding photographer captured some beautiful moments at the reception, and we especially loved the portraits by the black and white striped entry. Its graphic elements brought freshness to the photos.

 

Kennedy and Subha gave us a truly gorgeous, traditional wedding with stunning details.
