THE LOW-DOWN

New York couple Amanda and Raj held a beautiful multicultural wedding at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort and Swan Reserve in mid-November last year. Blending Eastern and Western wedding traditions, this event was truly one to remember! We loved that Amanda and Raj planned a wedding that not only incorporated their most treasured cultural traditions, but embraced their Disney wedding venue.

Some of the cultural traditions we most enjoyed were the couple’s choice of attire and their bold, lush décor. For their ceremony, Amanda wore a gorgeous red lehenga and dupatta and Raj wore a classic beige sherwani jacket with a turban and matching embroidered stole. After Amanda changed into an equally beautiful while wedding dress and Raj into a dark gray suit with black-on-black shirt and tie for the reception, the couple shared a sweet first look. We thought this was a great way to separate the two events!

Their mandap, a traditional four-pillared covered structure over the ceremony’s altar area, was simply spectacular with all of the floral décor. They also had a rice toss after the ceremony, which is traditional in both of their cultures. It was a lovely way to enhance their multicultural wedding.

Some of the Disney elements Amanda and Raj chose were fun embroidered handkerchiefs with Mickey ears on them, and Mickey and Minnie groom and bride ears. They also went with a unique Tiki Room theme with lots of vivid, tropical colors and florals. And it wouldn’t have been complete without plenty of photos around the venue and Disney’s Boardwalk!

WHAT WE LOVED

It was such a pleasure for the Just Marry! team to work with Amanda and Raj on their multicultural wedding at the WDW Swan and Dolphin Resort and Swan Reserve! We asked their wedding planner, Kristen, a few questions about their event, and here is what she shared:

  • What was something about this wedding that really stood out to you?

    Raj made all the table names! He based them off of the tiki birds and Disney birds that have made appearances in the Enchanted Tiki Room. This theme paired perfectly with their stunning, over the top tropical floral. Tying everything together, the cake design even had a bride and groom parrot to top it!

  • What was something you found particularly touching?

    While the ceremony lasted around an hour and a half, it felt like it went so quickly! Raj and Amanda kept things light and fun, and the ceremony was filled with lots of laughter. They made it their own while still honoring the traditional elements typically seen at a Hindu wedding.

  • Where did the couple stay for their wedding?

    The WDW Swan and Swan Reserve.

  • What was the couple's choice of first dance song?

    David Choi’s version of “A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes” from Disney’s Cinderella.
