Meghan and Derek’s Micro Fall Wedding in California by Brittany Bender Photography

Meghan and Derek held an intimate wedding that took place in La Jolla, California with just the couple’s closest loved ones in attendance. Brittany the photographer says ‘One of my favorite parts of this wedding was all of the handmade details created by the bride! She hand painted all of the signage, embroidered each guest’s napkin, curated individual place settings that included a sentimental photo of each guest with the couple with a handwritten note expressing how much they meant to them, as well as many other details.’ I just love the detailing in this wedding, everything that Meghan and Derek have put together is so considered and personal. The beauty of having an intimate or micro wedding is that you can really go to town with all the small details, and that is exactly what this gorgeous couple have done. Big thanks to Brittany Bender Photography for the gorgeous photos.

Our wedding was an intentional and thoughtfully curated celebration that reflected who we are and the relationships we cherish most. Surrounded by our closest loved ones, we created an evening centered on connection, joy, and celebrating this new chapter together.

Meghan and Derek were married on 26th September 2025 at Villa Francesca, La Jolla in California. ‘We actually originally wanted to elope at a courthouse, but we both have parents and siblings who are very involved in our lives. We knew we needed to include them in our day, so we decided to throw a small ceremony and dinner reception. We wanted the vibe of a backyard, family-style wedding. Unfortunately, we don’t have an actual backyard. We both love gardens (he actually planned his proposal at a botanical garden), so we were looking for something like that. Villa Francesca combined the small, backyard feel with the beautiful garden. And it allowed us to have our ceremony and reception all in one place. we had an intimate wedding of 30 people. We were engaged for 1.5 years, and we slowly planned our wedding throughout. We knew we wanted to get married in the fall because we had a dream fall honeymoon trip, and wanted to be able to leave for our honeymoon right away. Since he proposed in the spring, we decided to wait until the next fall to get married to give us time to get it together. We didn’t need 1.5 years to plan the wedding, but having that much time allowed us to slowly gather and create personal and meaningful decorations and aspects of the wedding.’

Haldi Ceremony: Fresh Florals and Cheerful Hues

The Haldi ceremony is one of the happiest and most vibrant wedding rituals. Filled with laughter, turmeric rituals, music and joyful family moments, it calls for outfits that are bright, comfortable and easy to carry throughout the day.

Shades such as sunshine yellow, mustard, lime green, ivory, peach and pastel tones perfectly capture the freshness of the occasion. Floral prints, delicate embroidery, and lightweight fabrics create an effortless festive appearance while allowing you to move comfortably during the celebrations.

Breathable fabrics like cotton, Chanderi, muslin, and soft blends are ideal choices for daytime ceremonies. Embroidered kurta sets, floral-printed suits, and relaxed silhouettes offer a perfect balance of elegance and practicality. Since Haldi ceremonies often involve outdoor settings and playful rituals, it’s best to keep accessories minimal. Pair your outfit with oxidised earrings, fresh flowers in your hair, comfortable juttis, and subtle makeup to complete a naturally radiant look.

Mehendi Function: Playful Yet Elegant Ethnic Wear

The Mehendi ceremony is filled with music, dance, colourful décor, and creative celebrations. Since guests often spend hours enjoying performances and getting henna applied, comfort becomes just as important as style.

Flowing sharara suits, embroidered A-line kurtas, contemporary co-ord sets and flared silhouettes are excellent choices for this lively occasion. Vibrant shades like emerald green, teal, fuchsia, coral, magenta, and bright pink beautifully complement the festive mood while standing out in photographs.

Design details such as mirror work, thread embroidery, gota accents, sequins, and delicate embellishments elevate the overall look without making the outfit feel too heavy. Lightweight fabrics ensure ease of movement while maintaining an elegant appearance throughout the event.

Complete your Mehendi outfit with statement earrings, bangles, embroidered potli bags, and comfortable footwear that lets you dance the evening away. Soft curls or braided hairstyles paired with fresh flowers can further enhance the festive charm.
