You’re welcome to wear Indian or Western attire, whichever you will feel most comfortable in for the full day. We kindly ask that guests avoid wearing white or ivory. We also encourage guests to lean into fall colors for the celebration. Think shades like forest green, deep orange, maroon, burgundy, gold, and other rich autumn tones.
Our celebration will begin with consecutive Hindu and Christian ceremonies, after which cocktail hour and the reception will immediately follow. Please refer to the schedule we have posted on the website for more information.
Yes, the botanical gardens have ample parking for our guests as you enter the venue.
Guests flying in will will mostly arrive in Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU), which is about a 1 hour 15 minute drive from Cape Fear Botanical Garden. From the airport, the easiest option is to rent a car so you have flexibility throughout the weekend. Uber and Lyft are also available and typically cost around $80–$130 one way. For accommodations, we recommend staying at one of the nearby hotels, all about a 10 minute drive from the venue: * Tru by Hilton Fayetteville I-95 * DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Fayetteville * Hampton Inn & Suites Fayetteville
We recommend arriving 20–30 minutes before the start of the first ceremony to allow time for parking and seating. Our events will begin promptly, and we’d love for you to be there from the start!
