Handwritten vows, a blend of cultures and lots of laughs were all a part of today’s California wedding at the K2 Ranch. Designed and planned by Madix & Co, the day was full of the couple’s Indian and Chinese heritages, all tucked into sunny Sonoma with fall-inspired colors and matching blooms by Amanda Vidmar. The couple danced the night away with a choreographed first dance and even fled the scene in a Rolls Royce getaway car. Take a peek below and see the full gallery here by the wonderful Christina McNeil!
From Christina McNeill…Winita and Kumar chose K2 Ranch because it reminded them of a ranch they stayed at in the Argentinian countryside that they visited early on in their relationship.
During their ceremony, they had two officiants, one representing Kumar’s south-east Asian heritage, and the other a close friend and also bridesmaid to Winita-representing her western roots. They surprised one another and read each other’s personalized vows, sharing promises, inside jokes, and Kumar ending his with “I take you forever and ever and EVER” which left the guests in belly laughs.
Their wedding, planned and designed by Madix & Co included thoughtful details inspired by blending their Indian and Chinese heritages while remaining authentic to the surrounding Sonoma wine region and season. The color palette infused an array of autumnal tones including Winita’s favorite plum, lilac and lavender hues offset by terra cotta, yellows and lots of foliage. Overall the look was very organic, natural and romantic creating an intimate and warm setting for their gathering and celebration.
Winita, a semi-professional dancer, made sure that getting on the dance floor be an integral part of their day. For their first dance, they danced to a choreographed number. And, later in the evening, she surprised Kumar was a flash mob hip-hop dance to “Finesse” by Bruno Mars. The evening ended with a classic send-off in a vintage Rolls Royce.
