Flawless florals in a rainbow of hues alongside polished black accents created an elegantโbut funโcolor story. In , after Dhruv proposed at Chateau Montelena in Napa, California, the couple decided on their new home base as the perfect spot to bring together their 68 guests from five different continents.
Though they had been engaged for several years, Julie and Dhruv squeezed their planning into a tight timeframe. But Julie and Dhruv knew what they liked, making the planning a breeze. I was so grateful how on-the-ball Sarah was and I was able to just relax and play a game of Yahtzee with friends beforehand.

Her Suzanne Neville gown, with its high, illusion-lace neckline and delicately flared silhouette, was the ideal blend of classic and modern. Floral artists from Meraki Blommor created a textural, statement-making bridal bouquet with coral, peach, pink, and lavender for Julie, and mimicked the look in smaller versions for the other women. Dhruv donned a bespoke three-piece tuxedo with a black Brioni bow tie, patent leather shoes, and spitfire cufflinks that were a gift from his brother.
He and his groomsmen also wore black sunglasses. An asymmetrical, deconstructed floral arch backed the couple as they said their vows in front of a crescent-shaped garden outlined by neat hedges. I was peeking in, and my heart melted when Dhruv went to wrangle the little ones and the four of them walked up together hand-in-hand.
