Two bridal styles for a multicultural celebration

For bride Harpreet's cultural attire, she was dressed in a stunning modern, neutral lehenga by KP Couture.

You'll have to keep reading to see how the cake design was inspired by this beautiful lehenga; the concept for this inspiration was to include some facets of traditional Indian weddings but in a more muted and modern style. Groom, Denis, was styled in a matching sherwani that created an understated yet refined look.

For multicultural couples looking for an outfit change, the Western outfit choices were equally stunning! This gorgeous V-neck Chosen By KYHA gown features a structured bodice and asymmetrical pleated tulle skirt; the gown was selected at local atelier The White Door Bridal.

Refined garden party with touches of Indian texture

Twin Willows Garden was an idyllic setting for a luxurious garden party reception, surrounded by a luscious PNW forest and stunning local plant life. The reception table by Events By Genevieve was framed under a blooming magnolia tree, adding a whimsical nature to the refined style. The tablescape was designed to inspire multicultural couples who desire a neutral wedding palette with accents of Indian culture!

Romantic, pale blue linens from BBJ La Tavola were chosen to honor the importance of cloth choice in Indian wedding outfits. The shine and pattern of the linens was reflective of the cultural attire, while plates and glassware were highly textured to call back to the floral motifs from the bride's lehenga and the garden setting. This is a perfect example of how to blend two cultures into a seamlessly chic design!

The cake matched the bride's lehenga

In continuing the fabulously subtle touches of Indian culture, a show-stopping three tiered cake was created by Alewa Bake Shop. The cake featured the classic cultural flavor of chai, adorned with a rich fondant bow. A pattern inspired by the luxe fabric of the bride's lehenga was delicately hand painted on the bow!
