INSIGHTS : BLENDING DIFFERENT CULTURES OR RELIGIONS INTO YOUR WEDDING
Planning a wedding that incorporates different cultures or religions, does not have to be difficult or complicated. We’re sharing some fun and unique ways our couples have blended their backgrounds to create an unforgettable day for all involved. We hope you find these ideas helpful!
Ceremony
Blending cultures is such a fun and unique way to make a couples wedding day their own. If you have the time in the day, having two ceremonies is a great place to start. Guests get to see the different traditions from each culture through two different ceremonies. Plus, you can wear two different outfits! This way both sides of the family feel as if their traditions are being honored.
Food
Another great way to blend cultures is through the food. Stations can provide guests the opportunity to taste different food from each culture and be a little more interactive! Whether it’s a signature drink, or food options based on cultural themes, it’s a great way to give a nod to your roots – and who doesn’t love good food and drinks?
Decor
Your decor is a great opportunity to incorporate specifics from each culture. If your culture has a specific flower that is used often, consider placing those in your centerpieces. Same with a symbol! Your table numbers and place cards are a great place for a subtle node to those symbols!
Ultimately the underlying premise is respect. Respect is the foundation of interfaith and intercultural marriages. Love is the bridge and we hope this helps to remind you that anything is possible!
