Organizing a multicultural wedding: our advice

A multicultural wedding is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the richness of your origins. Here's how to orchestrate it with harmony.

Honor each tradition

Discuss in advance with your families to identify the essential rituals of each culture. You can:

• alternate the ceremonies over one or two days;
• merge some powerful symbols into a single moment;
• entrust part of the program to an officiant who is familiar with both worlds.

Choose open-minded providers

Caterer, decorator, musicians: favor professionals experienced in blending cultures. A caterer able to offer several cuisines, dancers mastering different repertoires, a decorator sensitive to symbolism... make all the difference.

Think of your guests

An explanatory booklet (paper or digital) helps everyone understand the meaning of the rituals. It's a lovely gesture of inclusion.

At DreamWeds, our providers celebrate all unions — civil, religious, Indian, Christian or mixed — with the same care.
