Make your Botanical Garden Wedding Your Own! Celebrating Ariana and Wafie’s Multicultural Wedding
Ariana and Wafie’s wedding at the Athens State Botanical Gardens was pure magic—a celebration of love and culture in a beautiful garden setting. Surrounded by vibrant greenery, their ceremony in the greenhouse felt intimate and full of life. The couple’s love story is a beautiful blend of their cultural backgrounds, and it shone through every detail of their day.
After their heartfelt vows in traditional wedding attire, Ariana and Wafie made a joyful transition into stunning Indian outfits for the reception. The atmosphere shifted into a lively celebration of their cultures, and we captured moments with their families in both outfits, highlighting the unity of their two worlds.
One unique touch was a designated space for the men to pray throughout the evening, adding a personal, meaningful layer to the celebration. The entire day felt intimate and thoughtful, from the lush floral arrangements to the deep connections shared between loved ones.
After all, Ariana and Wafie’s wedding was a true celebration of their multicultural love story—proof that love, in all its beauty, flourishes where tradition meets new beginnings!

Let’s be real y’all — the Georgia heat is no joke! That’s why I always suggest planning your garden wedding in the spring or fall to skip those sweltering summer days.
