Kartika and Alman's wedding showcased the beauty of traditional attire from two of Indonesia's rich cultures: Sundanese for the wedding ceremony and Minangkabau for the reception. Each attire carried unique characteristics, reflecting the cultural roots of both traditions while maintaining the sacred essence of marriage. During the wedding ceremony, Kartika chose a classic white kebaya, exuding the purity and elegance typical of Sundanese brides. The kebaya was adorned with delicate embroidery, embodying a traditional beauty that was simple yet captivating. She completed her look with the Siger Sunda, a traditional crown symbolizing wisdom and grace.
 Alman complemented her perfectly in a white beskap featuring subtle embroidery details. He wore traditional Sundanese batik-patterned fabric as a lower garment, adding a classic and elegant touch to his outfit. Together, their attire created a harmonious visual that blended seamlessly with the sacred atmosphere of the ceremony. For the reception, Kartika dazzled in Koto Gadang traditional attire, a distinct cultural heritage of the Minangkabau people. She wore a nude ‘kebaya’ adorned with rich embroidery and intricate details, radiating grandeur without the need for the large suntiang headpiece typically worn by Minangkabau brides. To complete her look, Kartika added layered necklaces and large gold bangles, signature Minangkabau accessories that symbolize luxury and elegance.
 Alman wore matching Minangkabau traditional attire, consisting of a nude ‘beskap’ with simple embroidery, paired with a saluak (a traditional Minangkabau men's headdress). The simplicity of Alman's outfit provided a complementary contrast to Kartika's opulence, creating a balanced harmony that highlighted their Minangkabau cultural identity. By incorporating two different cultural traditions, Kartika and Alman expressed their appreciation for their rich heritage. The Sundanese wedding ceremony honored Kartika's family roots, while the Minangkabau reception paid tribute to Alman's cultural background. This blend of traditions demonstrated how love can unite two distinct cultures, resulting in a celebration that beautifully combined traditional elegance with cultural diversity.
