We believe that we are alien or very different from other traditions, however Isha and Neal reminded us that bridges are built between cultures that make us discover that we are not distant from other customs. That’s why destination weddings.
A wedding in Mexico, in a town full of personality and folklore, such as San Miguel de Allende, with an Indian couple with American influence…
Both couples were born and raised in an environment full of traditions that they deeply value and respect, but they wanted to take their roots to a level of modernity, with very subtle and soft touches of minimalism.
For us it was fascinating to discover a world full of sensitivity and traditions. This is what destination weddings constantly remind us: traditions are living culture that spreads and mixes.
The flowers were more than mere decoration since they represent great symbolic value in Hindu weddings, which is why we had to achieve the setting of India in San Miguel de Allende. It’s part of the magic of flowers and destination weddings. Although Mexico and India have many similarities in colors, textures and flowers, the design is totally different. We were always aware that it was not a Mexican wedding but an Indian wedding and it represented a challenge to capture it and make both the bride and groom and the guests perceive it.
We are grateful for the trust placed in Laurel & Rose and especially in Isha and Neal who shared their story with us and in some way made us part of it.
