Need pairing suggestion

April G

Background: I created the font pictured here as the basis for a logo by manipulating Samarkan, mostly by removing the horizontal line across the top. The client, an event planner, wants an exotic but not specifically ethnic feel. Mehndi-inspired decoration will appear in the logo as well — again, trying not to be too specifically Indian but using similar flourishes.

Question: If you were asked to put the subtitle “custom designed events” below the company name, what secondary typefaces would you try?

Thanks for any suggestions!
