Multi Cultural Weddings

Ideas for Cultural Wedding Themes

Multi cultural weddings are very special. Even if you don't come from two different backgrounds you may still want to include culture in your wedding.

In fact, it is one way to personalize this magical time in your life.

Creating a wedding including more than one culture involves taking the values from a culture that are most important to you.

Choosing your themes can include a complete traditional cermony. It could also be as simple as including it the music during dinner. Or, the food that you eat and the colors of your wedding.

Indian and Polish Wedding

An Indian and Polish wedding is something that a friend of mine planned.

Her wedding included several hints from both their Indian and Polish heritages. It was actually one of the more lovely weddings I've been to.

Here's what they did:

• They had a buffet and served a combination of Polish, Indian and western food
• They walked down the aisle to the sound of an accordian playing classical music
• Dinner music was performed by a Sitar musician
• They were married by an Officiant and Indian pastor. It was very unique and interesting!

Borrowing From Asian Culture

Many people include Asian themes in as a way to create a wedding including hints from other places. This may not include clothing or ceremony tradtions. It could include colors, music and even type of food.

These are just a couple of examples.. We'd love to hear your ideas for multi-cultural weddings!
