California Dreaming
Santa Ynez, CaliforniaFall is a feeling ~ Elopement Editorial
August 2019
California is a recurring theme in our work. This time, we carry along a little bit of Bollywood to create a romantic mood matched to the Golden state’s dreamy desert setting. I always thought Southern California is all palm trees and pristine beaches of Malibu and Santa Monica. But just a few hours’ drive away are the rolling hills of Santa Ynez, close to Santa Barbara, that remind you of Italian countryside. It’s very much the beautiful California with a unique vibe. The one that became a perfect canvas for an Indian girl clad in a glamorous sari, lehenga, jewellery, holding the most elegant flowers and offering words of love to a man from the dream city.
