Nigerian Style + American Influence= Elegant Wedding

At Madly Stylish Events, we truly believe that love is in the details.  It's event more so when you have a wedding with lots of cultural chic and elegance weaved throughout the event.  This Nigerian and American wedding featured on Style Me Pretty and designed by Sweet Pea Events is nothing short of gorgeous details, cultural fusion, elegant design and full of love.

The wedding events kicks off with a traditional Nigerian Engagement Ceremony the day before the actual wedding day.  The ceremony celebrates the union not just of the bride and groom but also of the two families with lots of food, prayers, and dancing in traditional Nigerian outfits and headwraps.

The American ceremony was held the next day with the bride wearing a traditional wedding dress and the groom in a tux.  The reception food was a great mix of fusion cuisine and those amazing florals were created by Branching Out Floral & Event Design.    I love how the separate wedding cakes reflected the style and colors of the traditional Nigerian ceremony and American one.  You can tell that this was truly a wedding that appreciated and respected each culture; an essential ingredient when planning a wedding with cultural and ethnic traditions.

MultiCultural Glam Wedding Shoot

Having been born in Haiti, raised in New York and married to man who is Greek and raised in Western Massachusetts, I was in high heaven when I discovered Wedding Nouveau.  At Madly Stylish Events, we love multicultural, multi-ethnic events and weddings: the traditions, the fusion of cultures, colors and foods!  It's a fantastic way to personalize and define your celebration.  I am currently working with an Indian bride and her American groom on their upcoming multicultural, mutliethnic, multi event wedding and just loving all the details.

Wedding Nouveau is dedicated to showcasing and providing inspiration for multicultural and multi-ethnic weddings.  Not to mention, it is an absolutely gorgeous blog.  This multicultural wedding shoot clearly proves that. You will easily be transported into this wedding vignette by the vibrant design, various textures, layered decor, and stylish fashion in these pics.   The shoot was styled the super talented  Heather Ham of Events by Heather Ham.  I adore her work!  She had some equally talented vendors help her carry this out.  Take a look!  And when you're done, head on over to Wedding Nouveau.  They have more amazing pictures to drool over.

Here are some of my favorite elements:
