2 States Wedding In Lucknow With A Pretty Cultural Mix

When the groom is a Punjabi and the bride is from Kerala, what do you do? Well, you do what Krishna and Kanav did- they had 2 weddings embracing both their cultures, and we loved how each and every function felt like a party! From an elegant Malyali wedding in hues of white and gold to being a contemporary Sabya bride in red, their wedding that happened in Lucknow is definitely one worth taking inspiration from!

From The Bride:

Our wedding took place on February 27, 2023. Kanav is Punjabi and I am from Kerala. We wanted the wedding to be a fun mix of both our cultures. Although our families live in Dubai, we were very particular that the wedding be in Lucknow, Kanav's hometown where we have our most cherished memories and incorporate as many local elements as possible.
