Minneapolis Wedding Melds Traditions at Urban Daisy

Anna Brunelle and Max Mazumdar’s summer wedding day was steeped in tradition, drawing inspiration from the bride’s Native American culture and the groom’s Indian heritage. The result was a vibrant, contemporary fête that effortlessly fused their respective backgrounds. The Indian rehearsal dinner featured East Indian décor, a henna artist and lavish outfits. The day of their wedding, Style-Architects Weddings & Events (owned by the groom’s mother) delivered a design that perfectly reflected Anna’s cheery, energetic personality and Max’s purposeful and charming nature. The venue, Urban Daisy, was filled with rich florals in hues of pink, orange and yellow with touches of black. Hanging installations of dyed leaves in bright colors seemed to float in the air. Anna and Max said their vows in a circular set-up that included a classic Ojibwe blanket ceremony in which the bride’s and groom’s mothers wrap them in a blanket as a sign of love and support. Anna held an eagle feather in her bouquet, a huge honor in Ojibwe culture that requires a special license from the tribe. The couple also incorporated poems that had been read at their parents’ weddings into their own ceremony. From the first look and humorous yet sentimental ceremony to the late-night pizza rolls and ’90s music, their day was quintessentially Anna and Max.
