With a recent renovation making the space even better-looking than ever, the Hilton Mission Valley in San Diego, California was ready for its close up with Plum & Oak Photo + Kelsey Rae Designs. The scene was chock full of bohemian details – think rugs, patterns, garlands + gold. (AKA, every one of our heart’s desires!) But just how did the creative team decide how to style the setting? Kelsey explains, We wanted to create a theme that would appeal to the Hilton’s ideal clientele. There are so many Indian weddings that take place in San Diego and we thought it would be a fun twist to infuse the beach that is so close by. We decided on an “Indian Meets the Beach” theme, and boy did we have fun with this one!
Majorly love this ceremony site with gorgeous pieces from Pow Wow. The curved chair arrangement gives it an intimate feel + the wooden backdrop + rugs cozy up the setting.
BTW, shop our favorite rugs + pillows – perfect for your home or wedding – below:

We’re totally eyeing that gorgeous bouquet by Kimberly of The Dainty Lion! The bright red + ivory blooms really played off the accents of blue to exemplify those coastal vibes.
Stunning henna by Henna Trendz by Wardah!
And such pretty, detail-oriented cakes by Frost Me Gourmet (topped with sweet cake toppers by The Roc Shop)!

I think it goes without saying that the girl looks beautiful, but good lord that guy is devilishly handsome.
Oh… and yeah, the other things are really nice too and… I just got a little distracted…
Good and inspiring set of images, both the couple shots and the details are great, thank you!
Such a beautiful indian bohemian themed wedding. The colors really stand out in each photograph. Simply amazing!
