Wearing a dress that incorporated both African print and tulle, the bride managed to tie the knot while honoring her Southern African heritage and traditional bridal bliss. 

Topping her look off with a gorgeous headwrap, green heels and gold adornments, the look is seriously the big day inspo we need. 

She Zulu…😘👰 #bride #golden #zulubride #africanbride #porshmiyawedding #theleivas #theleivawedding #porshanddemetriuswedding #happilyeverleivas #instawedding #africanwesterninfusionwedding #wedgewoodwedding #sierralavernewedding #southafrican #american #wedding #africanfashion #africanprint

Not only did she slay in her bridal look but her reception dress stole the show as well.
