From bonphotage… Meghna and Emeka’s Malibu destination wedding brought together people from all over the world of different cultural backgrounds as they blended their families and traditions in a colorful and one-of-a-kind celebration. Meghna is Pujabi and Emeka is from Nigeria. The most important thing is planning was honoring both of their cultures while introducing one another’s families to the others traditions and cuisines.
Guests were first introduced to the Indian, Nigerian fusion upon receipt of the save the date and invitations. Studio M Creations blended a traditional Nigerian textile pattern with the colors of the wedding and created a custom monogram that embraced the shape of Nigeria and India becoming one.
The reception space was completely open to the views and featured a mixture of floral bridge tables with gold accents and low and lush arrangements. The reception began with a cocktail hour around the pool and transitioned into a unique, multi-course dinner. The first two courses were small plates that were Nigerian, Indian fusion dishes, and the guests’ palettes were cleansed with a saffron, cardamom sorbet that led to a family-style service of all types of traditional curries from both Nigeria and India.
