Dallas Area Weddings | Arlington Hall at Turtle Creek

A Closer Look

Allegra and Ari built their multicultural wedding weekend around one idea: hospitality. Drawing from interiors and architecture around the world, they gave each event its own theme and energy. That sense of welcome shaped every detail, from the invitations to the fabrics and decor sourced in Delhi.

With Events by Rama and KBD Events, Thursday's Haldi unfolded in the gardens of Arlington Hall at Turtle Creek, styled like a sunlit living room, with a mustard velvet settee set against green lattice strung with marigolds. Guests gathered at green and yellow tables beneath the trees and beside a pool floating with water lilies, and Allegra wore yellow to match.

Friday's Hindu ceremony leaned into architecture and a deeper palette. Blush drapery softened a white columned terrace, where a mandap walled in pink, fuchsia and red roses framed a pair of carved gold chairs. Allegra wore a red lehenga and Ari an ivory sherwani layered with pearls, and the Baraat arrived on horseback.

Saturday began with a first look, a quiet pause to take in how real it had all become. The Catholic ceremony at Perkins Chapel stayed classic in white lace and white roses, with bridesmaids in soft, mismatched colors. At cocktail hour, green monogrammed napkins and custom matchbooks picked the hospitality theme back up.

The reception brought the whole weekend together in a tent designed to feel like a permanent venue rather than a temporary structure. Green-and-white cabana stripes ran overhead and coral lattice lined the walls, while tables in green gingham and coral prints held low arrangements of pink and orange roses.

The circular floor plan made the hospitality theme literal, giving every guest a view of the stage while the central dance floor kept the room connected. That floor was laid in Moorish-inspired mosaic tile, a nod to Allegra's Puerto Rican heritage that carried through to the menu, and a custom caladium chandelier with 500 stems hung above the main bar.

The dancing was part planned, part spontaneous, with Indian dance performances woven through the night. The couple left in a tuk-tuk, and when it ran out of gas short of its destination, they laughed their way through the final stretch, carrying their Just Married sign together.
