Shaila + Sebastian's Multicultural Wedding Weekend

Shaila & Sebastian's multicultural wedding was truly stunning in every way. This two day soiree was full of joy, love and a merging of traditions. This wonderful couple met working in Chicago, although as fate would have it they both grew up in Florida and attended the same college! Their relationship has taken them all across the globe, from Bali to Indonesia, where Sebastian proposed on a mountaintop at sunset. Shaila and Sebastian celebrated their nuptials with a 2-day soiree with a traditional Western wedding on Friday at the Historic Casa Feliz on the Winter Park Golf Course followed by a bright and colorful Hindu party the next night at the Historic Winter Park Farmer’s Market.

The bridesmaids prepped for the day ahead in their suite at the Alfond Inn. Meanwhile, the groomsmen enjoyed a leisurely start to their day, with brunch at The Alfond Inn’s Hamilton’s Kitchen.

A traditional American wedding and reception was held at Casa Feliz. Donned in a stunning white gown and carrying an understated baby’s breath bouquet, Shaila’s look was classic and elegant in every way. The couple enjoyed a “first look” together on Friday at the Alfond Inn. We love the hint of Indian Culture peeking through the celebration with Shaila’s beautifully intricate Henna Tattoos.

Cocktail hour followed the couple’s exchange of vows, nestled beneath the Spanish moss in historic downtown Winter Park.

During the outdoor reception, all eyes were on the hanging floral chandelier with globe candle holders. The classic white and green florals allowed the rustic elements of the venue to shine through. The pairing of all white linens with dark wood chairs created a sophisticated style with old world charm.

The couple spent the evening surrounded by friends and family. They ate, drank, and danced the night away to the live music of the Bay Kings Band.

The next day continued the marriage celebration with traditional indian outfits and rituals!

The second night of celebration was a colorful and lively affair at the Winter Park Farmer’s Market! The bold reds and golds were a stark contrast to the classic white color palette of the previous evening. The night was all about fun and merriment, beginning with a dramatic entrance by the couple, as they danced their way up the stairs to the venue.
