Two cultures collided in this spectacularly colorful CA wedding
Sarika and Josh's wedding at Bernardus Lodge in Carmel Valley, California was all about blending two cultures - his Jewish tradition and her Hindu heritage - so two ceremonies and two receptions were the perfect way to celebrate what makes this couple who they are!

Gardens are the prettiest wedding inspo
Sarika and Josh's wedding day started off with a Jewish ceremony in the morning, officiated by the groom's brother and sister. A floral-adorned arbor from Amy Burke Designs was the perfect backdrop for this ceremony in the gardens! After the ceremony, guests moved to the luncheon reception that took place under a pergola covered in greenery. The tables were decorated with sprawling florals, taking inspiration from the garden setting of Bernardus Lodge.
