In the Bay Area, the diversity of South Asian wedding traditions is a vibrant tapestry shaped by various regions and religions. As a leading wedding planner, I understand that each couple’s journey is unique. South Asia includes countries such as Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and India, each with distinct wedding customs. Within regions, there are many religions and some faiths- Hindu , Sikh, Muslim, Jain, Christian and Buddhist ,this by no means encompasses all traditions but will give you a good idea of the different types of traditions and customs you may find.
