After a festive baraat with an adorable horse from St. Petersburg Carriages, both the bride and groom were at the Loews Don CeSar Hotel ready for their beautiful Indian fusion wedding ceremony. Tracie Domino Events took care of all the details and made sure everything went perfectly, so the couple could enjoy their ceremony and Suhaag Garden's marvelous decorations to the fullest! We were especially impressed with the mandap, which looked ultra elegant with dark wood, fresh flowers and white curtains! If you want to get a closer look at the decor, or to see the fun baraat moments, check out Kimberly Photography's pics in the full gallery!

Maharani Amy on her favorite part of planning:

"I really loved bringing the best of our both cultures together! Our friends and family had so much fun participating and learning the new traditions!"

On finding the perfect lengha:

"I spent hours on Pinterest but my mother-in-law has fabulous taste and had everything custom made in India!"

On the most magical wedding moment:

"Watching the baraat with my family was a beautiful moment! Seeing all of our friends and soon to be family dancing up to our hotel was something I'll never forget. I really sunk in that I'm about to be married! It was perfect having my family by my side and celebrating and taking in the moment."

Up next: a look at the lovely reception portraits!

The experts at First Comes Love Weddings & Events have planned the most stunning, beachfront fusion ceremony at Scripps Seaside Forum for today's happy couple, María Luisa and Yash, and we're getting all the need to know details from this fabulous fairy tale wedding through the eyes of ABM Wedding Photography! Raja Yash made his way over to the venue via a bright baraat procession, where he and wedding guests were greeted by a full mariachi band! This beautifully blended event boasted contemporary decor which included an understated, yet vibrant, mandap by Organic Elements, and beautifully illustrated, bilingual programs by January Waters (front and back!). The blushing bride was overflowing with Maharani style in her red wedding lengha, gold jewelry and magnificent mehndi details by Henna San Diego, as she swapped vows with the Raja of her dreams. We'll be diving into her and Yash's reception highlights in just a bit, but before we do, you need to fill up on the rest of their outdoor ceremony details in the gallery, where you can also get an exclusive look at the Indian groom's baraat!

Maharani María Luisa, on her and Raja Yash's wedding style:

"We embraced both of our cultures and had a Mexican shaadi. Our palette was dusky rainbow and decorations were brought from southern Mexico and India."

On her and Raja Yash's mothers special sehra:

"Our mamas prepared a sehra for us that had us loving them even more and crying in laughter (you can see in the pictures). They perfectly blended our two cultures, even singing "Yash asks Maria Luisa, let's have Dal roti for lunch / Maria Luisa prepares bean burrito, and says with a smile / it's almost the same, did I get it right? / Can't stop praising, such a beautiful sight"".

On the venue and custom details:

"The venue was special to us because we met in La Jolla and spent most of our time at UCSD. So the Scripps Seaside Forum is right on campus and wonderful to share with all our family and friends. My favorite details were the piñata, which we had made in Mexico and crossed here. I painted the Rajasthani design and our closest friends helped fill in the color. My bridesmaids and I also had a lot of fun painting the elephants and letters that were used as decorations in the days prior to the wedding. Our table runners were hand embroidered by Tzotzil Mayas in Chiapas, Mexico. I also loved our bilingual wedding programs, designed by January Waters."

We'll hit the dance floor with today's newlyweds when I get back! Be sure to join us for all the magic!
