I’m so excited to share Sanya and Dan’s Fairmount Horticultural Center Indian Wedding! They incorporated the bright colors and decorations that go along with an Indian wedding but also carried through with an American style ceremony. I love how Sanya wore an Indian wedding dress for the ceremony and changed into a white dress for the reception. It was the perfect blend of so many traditions. Sanya and Dan truly made the day their own! I can’t wait for you to see this colorful and joyful day filled with so much love!

What do you love most about each other?

One of the first things I remember thinking about Dan was that he is kind and easy to talk to. He is always curious and attentive when speaking to people about their interests, no matter how small or eclectic they may be. I love that he is unapologetically himself and has a great sense of humor that always keeps me laughing.

I feel so comfortable around her. She makes each day feel so much simpler. I like that during the day sometimes I’ll think about her and it makes me happy. Seeing her smile and traveling, trying new restaurants, and doing whatever other activities we do together always makes me happy. I can’t imagine it any other way.

What are you looking forward to most on your wedding day?

Finally getting married to my best friend! And having our friends and family who we don’t see very often all in the same room.

Their Fairmount Horticultural Center Indian Wedding

We decided early on that we wanted an Indian-American fusion style wedding. We wanted to incorporate the bright colors and decorations that go along with an Indian wedding but also carry through with a more American style ceremony.

How they chose The Horticultural Center in Fairmount Park

We knew we didn’t want a formal ballroom style reception and that we wanted our wedding to be in Philadelphia as we have lived here for the last several years. I was worried about weather and we wanted something where we could be flexible and have an indoor wedding if the weather did not cooperate. The Horticulture Center in Fairmount Park fit everything we were looking for and we love the greenery!
