A multicultural wedding can be a beautiful blend of details, color and ritual and this one was no exception! We believe that getting married is a family affair! And when both families come from different cultures and faiths, it’s important that we celebrate these differences within the multicultural wedding traditions with all those important to us. These traditions help us to bond ourselves, our faith and our communities. We were so thrilled to work with the bride and her mother Blanca to set the tone Bianca & Long’s family filled interfaith wedding!

Blanca first reached out to us to talk about her vision for wedding stationery for her daughter last Spring. I knew this was going to be a beautiful collaboration from the start! Her daughter, Bianca and future son-in-law, were planning a big multicultural wedding in the fall and wanted luxury boxed invitations for the big day. Bianca comes from a Mexican American family and was marrying into a traditional Vietnamese American family. Her mother, Blanca, wanted to plan the perfect wedding for her only daughter, starting with the invitations.

Blanca and Bianca’s approach to including of the traditions of both families was heartwarming! The mother-daughter duo worked with me to make sure the invitation was elegant and unforgettable. We created a stunning navy folio with a satin ribbon and  elegant brooch as well as a gold foil pressed invitation based on our Alexandria design. There was no doubt that this invitation suite was sure to make a dramatic impression on each recipient. We are so excited to share Bianca and Long’s American-Mexican-Vietnamese wedding last November!

Style Profile & Vendor Credits

Bianca and Long both wore Vietnamese traditional Ao dai that were handmade in Long’s family’s hometown in Hue, Vietnam for the Tea Ceremony. Bianca also wore an ivory Ao dai for the Reception. The wedding gown (worn at the Mexican-Catholic Ceremony) – Angel Rivera Couture purchased from Kingsley James boutique. Long wore bespoke tuxedo for this interfaith wedding. The shoes were designer Badgley Mischka and had crystals and pearls to match the dress. I wore custom designed jewelry by our wedding band and engagement ring designer.

The bridesmaids wore champagne gold dresses and the groomsmen wore traditional black suit and tie.

Gold and ivory light and elegant with accents of navy. Chandeliers and jewels were everywhere as well as gold and crystal broaches on each plate. So, our guests loved them and wore them all night! Our florist, Tom’s Flowers, was also the florist from my Quinceañera and so it was special to have him for our wedding. All the flowers were light. We had ivory’s and blush with lots of roses and hydrangeas. My bouquet also had peonies.

We served a 10 course seafood meal (traditional for Vietnamese weddings) the Reception

Long’s signature drink was an Old Fashioned and mine was a Paloma. It was open bar with many other options as well as frozen margarita machines!

The cake was from Nolands bakery who also made the cake for my Quinceanera. It was 5 tier and had our favorite flavors! Carrot cake, marble, lemon poppyseed, coconut cream and Bulgarian cream. It was delicious! But we also had a big donut wall/donut bar

Our white seamless dance floor with our initials was gorgeous and then my Mom surprised us with gold confetti for our entrance and first at dance at the reception.
