For Deepa and&nbsp;Bharadwaj this meant, choosing the scenic <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ritzcarlton.com\/en\/hotels\/california\/santa-barbara\/hotel-overview\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bacara Resort<\/a> to host their traditional nuptials. Ceremony was held outdoors, where a large stage was setup for the mandap and decorated by&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/kismeteventdesign.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" style=\"text-align: center;\" target=\"_blank\">Kismet Event Design<\/a>. Gold punched lanterns, strung flowers and golden archways decorated both the structure and aisle. Traditionally, the groom enters on a horse, but in this case a motorcycle was much more apropos. For ceremony, the couple donned traditional garb, including a stunning red sari paired with numerous gold and red bangles. After the ceremony, the couple changed into more westernized clothing, with a stunning dress featuring silver sequins and an elegant black tux for the groom.<\/p>\n<p>For the reception design, it was all about tropical greenery, with a variety leaves arranged by&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/bluemagnoliaevents.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" style=\"text-align: center;\" target=\"_blank\">Blue Magnolia Events<\/a>. At each placesetting, even more tropical leaves could be found as they were tucked under the transparent chargers for a truly unique look.
