Linda & Tanay

Columbus, Ohio

2026

Set in the bride’s hometown of Columbus, Ohio, Linda Yang and Tanay Godara’s wedding weekend was a vibrant expression of heritage, design, and modern romance.

The multi-day celebration thoughtfully blended the bride’s Chinese heritage with the groom’s Indian heritage, unfolding across some of the city’s most distinctive settings

The weekend began with a lively sangeet at the Columbus museum of art, where the design leaned into bold color and sculptural form

Vibrant chartreuse, deep burgundy, and silver were color-blocked throughout the space, creating a palette that felt energetic, graphic, and unexpected. clean architectural lines and sculptural elements brought a modern edge to the traditional celebration, setting the tone for the weekend ahead.

The following day, guests gathered at the junto for the baraat and hindu ceremony before the celebration moved to jorgensen farms for the wedding ceremony and reception.

Here, the design shifted toward refined simplicity. A restrained ivory palette, clean lines, and subtle texture allowed the natural setting to take the lead.

Ivory satin was draped over the ceremony benches and later reappeared surrounding the dining area, creating a soft, continuous thread throughout the day.

For this fashion-forward couple, each celebration felt distinct yet connected—moving from saturated color and sculptural forms to a quieter, more romantic study in texture and form. The result was a weekend that honored two cultures while feeling entirely personal and modern.
