Indian Wedding Ideas

The Indian wedding theme is currently popular with the news of the prewedding celebration of Indian billionaire heir Anant Ambani, featuring the special performances of Rihanna. So, if that majestic event inspires you to implement some Indian style in your dream wedding, here are a few things you can do:

The Decoration

The first thing to think about is whatever things are needed in Indian wedding decorations. If you’re a Bollywood fan and you watch it a lot of times, you’ll realize the nuances that you often see in the movies. In general, India often highlights a wide variety of motifs as well as striking colors, such as red or yellow.

Indian weddings are typically floral-filled. Flowers may completely change the style of your décor, and Indians frequently choose to combine silk flowers with real flowers. Depending on the style you decide on and the budget, there’s nothing wrong with having your wedding florist or designer use only fresh flowers or a combination of them.

Additionally, you may upgrade the aesthetics of a banquet hall by adding a dance floor and lights, which can turn it into a place to get people on the dance floor.

The Look

The main goal of Indian bridal makeup is to create a dramatic appearance that highlights every aspect of the bride. Vibrant eyeshadows and lip colors are symbolic of different feelings, attributes, and facets of life, while Kohl, a traditional eye cosmetic, is applied along the waterline of the eyes to create a dramatic, smokey look. Kohl is a major component of Indian bridal makeup. Brides embrace the colorful and joyous vibe of their wedding day by using these hues in their makeup.

Mehndi and bindis are also crucial in the Indian wedding. While mehndi designs with henna are intricate patterns done on the hands and feet, bindis and ornamental stickers are little embellishments applied on the forehead. The elegance, customs, and cultural diversity of Indian weddings are embodied in these embellishments.

Photo Booth

Having a print or digital take-home item is something your visitors will truly appreciate. You can use bright colors for your backdrop and embellish it with Indian ornaments for the props. However, if you truly want to stand out, use traditional Indian décor to liven up the background and complement your wedding’s theme.

Going minimalist and using only digital props is an additional option. With digital accessories, your photo booth may have social media filters right inside! Selecting stickers and images that can even track their faces on animated GIFs or movies will be a lot of fun for your wedding guests.

Crystals

Crystals are often seen at Indian weddings. Besides, there are also curtains that are made of crystal and hang somewhere so that they can complement the lamps. In addition, crystal lamps are on the tables, and a variety of crystal furniture is also often used for Indian wedding decoration.

The Menu

Indian wedding menus are an essential component of the entire wedding experience, and Indian weddings are a cuisine lover’s dream come true. An essential component of Indian cooking is the aromatic and savory rice dish known as biryani. It is prepared by layering paneer, meat, or vegetables with seasoned rice in a big pot and simmering at low heat to let the flavors combine.

A traditional Indian meal that is also well-liked all around the world is butter chicken. Tender chicken chunks are cooked in a tomato-based sauce and enhanced with butter and cream to create a rich and creamy curry. A must-have for any opulent reception party, the meal is typically served with rice or naan. Meanwhile, samosas and chaat are usually favorites among the guests. They are excellent finger food for a wedding reception because they are easy to eat.
