When two worlds come together under California sunshine, you get a wedding like no other—Disha & Zack’s breathtaking celebration was the perfect blend of culture, elegance, and pure joy. From sacred vows at the iconic Chino Hills BAPS Mandir to an opulent reception at the elegant Vellano Estate, this wedding was nothing short of unforgettable.
The morning began with artistry. Henna by Sanjana brought the tradition of mehndi to every swirl, whileGlamorized by Penny Kohli worked her magic with flawless hair, makeup, and sari draping that made Disha glow brighter than the California sun. Dressed in a stunning creation from Kynah, our Maharani looked every bit the queen she was meant to be. And when the veil was perfectly tied? That was the kind of “mic drop” bridal moment every girl dreams of.
Picture majestic temple architecture, floral artistry by both the Chino Hills BAPS Mandir team and Events by FS, and vows exchanged under a mandap that looked carved straight from a dream. Zack’s entrance had the perfect balance of fun and reverence—because what’s a baraat if not a joyful dance party on the way to forever? With Events by Sep orchestrating every detail, guests could simply bask in the beauty without a worry in sight.
When the sun dipped and reception time arrived, Vellano Estate transformed into the ultimate stage for glamour. Guests indulged in decadent treats by Some Crust Bakery, proving that love may feed the soul, but cake feeds the celebration.
The celebration was captured with perfection by Yin Studio, whose lens caught everything from stolen glances to the kind of laughter that can only come when surrounded by your favorite people. With his cinematic eye, Robles Video Productions preserved every movement, every tear, every dance.
Disha & Zack’s wedding was not just about two people tying the knot—it was about two cultures, two families, and two souls weaving their stories together in the most dazzling way possible. The standout moment wasn’t just in the grand architecture or the designer fashions—it was in the smiles, the energy, and the love that filled every corner of the day.

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
Zack and I met in college during our internship. We were good friends first, and talking to each other was so easy. We spent a lot of time together with our friends and eventually went on a date and have been together ever since. I knew he was the one when we were grocery shopping together after moving across the country. We had just moved in, and I remember standing in the spice aisle and realizing I was having so much fun just getting groceries together. I knew if I could have fun with him at Ralph’s, I could enjoy the rest of my life with him.
Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
Zack proposed to me on top of Mauna Kea on Hawaii’s Big Island. We went stargazing in the pitch black, and in the middle of my yapping and trying to identify stars in our Jeep (with the top down), he pulled the ring out. I was truly surprised, cried, and said yes. His number one goal was to make sure I had no idea it was coming, which is not an easy thing to do because I’m very nosy! He definitely succeeded. I was caught so off guard.
Tell us how you went about planning your wedding, and your overall experience with the Venues, Hair & Makeup, Outfits, Decor Theme, and all of the other important details.
Planning our wedding was a challenge because we wanted to make sure both our cultures and upbringings were represented. We had a two-day wedding, the Hindu ceremony at the BAPS temple in Chino Hills, and our American ceremony at Vellano Estate. It was important to us to make sure both venues were unique and allowed our guests to fully experience the ceremonies. We chose June 27 and 28th as our dates; my grandparents were married on June 28th for over 60 years. My Ajji passed away in 2022, and it was a small way of keeping her close. I know it was her dream to come to my wedding.
How did you select your bridal lengha or wedding dress? Did you have a favorite color in mind?
I’m from Bangalore, so I was always going to wear a silk saree for my Hindu Ceremony. My original plan was to wear my mom's saree and for my sister to wear our Ajji’s saree, but my mom's saree was heavily damaged. My parents went to India, and my dad had actually picked a beautiful pink saree for my mom in Mysore (where my mom grew up). When we realized I couldn’t wear my mom’s saree, she suggested the pink one. I loved that I had no input and my parents picked it for me, the color and thread work was so beautiful. I liked that the pink was unique to weddings, too.
For my American ceremony, I chose the white Sasha Lehenga from Kynah. While I debated wearing a traditional American wedding dress, I still wanted both my cultures to be represented. I loved how unique the Lehenga was and knew it was the perfect blend of Indian and American. Both my outfits spoke to who I am and how I was raised.
What was the most enjoyable part of the planning process, and why?
Spending time together was my favorite part! Whether it was cake tasting or putting invites together, I loved the moments when it was just the two of us. We actually designed and created our invites from scratch. We went to the venues and took pictures, and had an artist from Etsy create them into watercolor paintings. We then used a template to create the invite, and my husband selected the paper, printed it out, and got a paper cutter to make them. I also got an illustrator to make stickers of our dogs, which I used on the belly bands. I told my husband my vision for the invites, and he truly made them a reality.
What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
On Friday, we had our first friend we made in LA officiate, and only one person each in our bridal party, Zack’s best friend from college, and my sister. It was really special to us to have personal touches because without our friends, we wouldn’t have stayed on the West Coast. Guests loved that it was just a group of friends at the altar who truly knew us and could speak about our relationship.
Was there a really special moment in your wedding that constantly replays in your mind?
After our Hindu Ceremony, we were exhausted and took a minute in the bridal suite to just sit down. When we came out for lunch, everyone was almost done, and eventually the entire seating area was empty. We just sat there for a long time, the two of us, taking in the day. It was a quiet moment, and I remember looking around the temple and thinking we did it!
Another moment is also after the Hindu Ceremony, our East Coast and West Coast friends went out to eat and drink. It was surreal seeing my entire friend group in one place. I felt so special. So many people took off work on a random Thursday and flew across the country for us!
Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
One step at a time! It’s all very overwhelming, but once you remember everyone wants to celebrate you and your fiancé, everything becomes so much easier. I also didn’t eat very much because of nerves, so make sure you have simple snacks if you’re like me and hate attention!
