It was important to Ricky and Gopi’s that their bohemian-inspired Indian wedding include an outdoor ceremony, and Stone Tower’s scenic setting was exactly what they envisioned. They played up the space with an earth-tone color palette for decor, and—to cut costs—created the reception’s centerpieces themselves. Along with their winery venue and DIY details, their day included a flower-filled mandeep altar, a photo-worthy mirror seating chart, and custom Indian wedding attire (scroll down to see all the details—including Gopi’s three unique ensembles).
