  • Groomsmen in kurtas, bridesmaids in pastel lehengas

  • Afternoon church ceremony
  • Evening reception blending both families

Indian + Latin / African / East Asian Cultures

  • Mehndi with salsa music
  • Baraat with African drummers
  • Haldi ceremony combined with a Chinese tea ceremony

The structure depends entirely on your preferences and both families should feel represented and respected.

Create a Unified Décor Style

Arizona’s natural scenery blends effortlessly with modern and cultural décor styles.

Trending Décor Combinations:
