Tari Awanthi and JJ Barillas celebrated with an elegant hotel wedding built around white flowers, gold accents, and a joyful gathering of family and friends. The day blended modern styling with cultural traditions and a reception full of movement.

Their gallery begins in the hotel's graphic interior spaces before opening into a bright ceremony and a packed ballroom.

Modern Bridal Preparation

Tari's gown and white bouquet stood out against the room's warm wood and chartreuse accents. Family and bridesmaids helped her prepare, creating a sequence that felt both polished and affectionate.

The neutral flowers and gold jewelry carried cleanly into the ceremony and reception design.

A Multicultural Wedding Ceremony

The indoor ceremony brought both families together beneath a white floral structure. Wide frames showed the full gathering, while closer photographs focused on the couple's expressions and the traditions surrounding them.

The white design kept the setting bright and let the colorful attire throughout the room stand out.

White Florals and Gold Reception Details

The ballroom paired a white dance floor with gold chairs, floating candles, and abundant white flowers. A tiered cake and matching monogrammed favors continued the design at a smaller scale.

Once dancing began, the room shifted from refined dinner setting to a lively celebration surrounded by guests.
