A Classic Pink Indian Wedding at the Cavalier Golf & Yacht Club in Virginia Beach, Virginia

Siri Kalburgi (28 and a business development project manager) and Kyle Wiggins (30 and an account manager) embraced Siri’s Indian background with a traditional Hindu ceremony that was followed by a cocktail-style reception filled with plenty of dancing, delicious small plates and gold accents.

“The biggest inspiration to us was family,” Siri says. “We wanted to honor my family’s culture, but make sure everyone there understood the meaning behind each ritual.” Siri’s cousin narrated the ceremony, then guests mixed and mingled at small plate stations instead of sitting down for a long dinner.

Romantic garden-inspired arrangements included roses, clematis and greenery.

For dancing, Siri changed out of her white ceremony sari into an embroidered blush lehenga.

The newlyweds strolled up the aisle to Hall & Oates’s “You Make My Dreams” as guests tossed petals.
