Southern California is the perfect wedding destination. There are many gorgeous places for Indian wedding photography, as well as countless options for venues, catering, DJs, dress stores, hair salons, nail salons, hotels for guests, etc. There are beaches and wineries, as well as venues within the hills and mountains for a more secluded Indian wedding reception. The wedding possibilities are endless!
A lot of weddings are based around cultural traditions. Here at Beach Town Pops, makers of artisan ice cream, gelato and gourmet freeze pops…
These frozen treats are perfect for your Indian wedding. We absolutely love these edible flowers! Roses, orchids, tulips, gerbera daisies, delphiniums, freesias, marigolds and sunflowers…
We believe some of the most beautiful things in life are family and culture. Both give you a sense of belonging; you don’t feel alone when you’re surrounded by family and people of your culture that understand where you come from. It makes sense why people add their beautiful traditions into their wedding ceremonies.
If there is one word to describe an Indian wedding, it would be ‘extravagant.’ So many details come in to play in order to plan and execute an Indian wedding. Of course, there are many different cultures within India (Punjabi, North Indian, South Indian) but overall, Indian weddings are absolutely gorgeous in every way.
