South Asian Wedding Planning
What may be most helpful to understand about South Asian Wedding Planning is the diversity in traditions can be best categorized by region and religion. First and foremost, I believe it's helpful to understand what is considered South Asia. South Asia can be defined by the following countries Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and India. We’ve provided an interactive map below which will allow you to hover over each region where we provide some common wedding customs and traditions you may find in that area or region.
