Some weddings are a single beautiful day. Tom & Divya’s was an entire weekend — three days of family, tradition, celebration, color, and two cultures coming together right here on the farm. 🤍
When Tom & Divya approached us about hosting their wedding, they were dreaming of a place where they could bring their loved ones together for a full weekend while honoring both sides of their story.
The celebration began with a henna night, followed by a traditional Indian wedding ceremony, and culminated in a traditional American wedding on the final day.
One of the most important elements of a Hindu wedding ceremony is the mandap — a sacred, open structure where the couple and their families gather for the wedding rituals. Traditionally supported by four pillars, it creates a sacred space for some of the ceremony’s most meaningful traditions.
And as we planned their weekend, we realized we already had the perfect place for it: our pond stage. ✨
Sitting at the water’s edge, the stage was transformed into the most breathtaking mandap, surrounded by the pond, trees and summer landscape of the farm. A space normally filled with musicians and concerts suddenly became the setting for a centuries-old tradition.
And then came the bride. ❤️
Divya looked like an absolute princess. From her incredible attire and jewelry to every intricate detail, she was truly stunning. Seeing her beneath the mandap with the farm stretching out behind her was something we won’t soon forget.
The next day, everything transformed once again for Tom & Divya’s American wedding … a completely different celebration, but with the same families and friends gathered together.
Over one weekend, we watched two families and two cultures come together through traditions, food, music, laughter and a whole lot of love.
Tom & Divya, thank you for bringing your families and this incredible celebration from NYC to our little corner of North Carolina. It was truly an honor to be part of your story. 🤍
Stay tuned for images from their American wedding ✨
