Creative Tip – Bride and Groom should pick a color them for their decor now a days contrast to what the bride and groom are waering creates a great pop.
Jessi LoBello says
Great tip, Shreya! I’ve never planned an Indian wedding, but something that helped me was enlisting help from friends and family, including reading blogs from other brides across the world.

One of the main event in an indian wedding is mehndi..during mehndi have like a nice chudi, payal and scarf stall for all the guest to buy. This will enhance the mehndi function
Komal Jeswani says
I went to a Mehndi function a while back and one of the stalls had a live fortune teller. It was really creative and entertaining and it was the most popular activity in the room.

Hi Neha! One idea to keep things fresh is to thematize your favors to the type of wedding you’re having. For ex: if the couple is “green” then use herbs, funky items like antique tin cans, recycled soap etc as centerpieces and favors to only make a statement but also infuse the couple’s passion into the decor.
Shilpa says
Karoke Mehendi night with only shaadi songs!
Dharma says
Hi again Neha – another suggestion I have relates to color. For example, my cousin’s favorite thing to eat is chocolate! She had a winter wedding thus my suggestion was to go with a mint/cream color theme with hints of chocolate in the decor and clothing for the reception. This could also be infused with the food – for ex: mint chocolate dessert or a mint chocolate martini as a signature drink. It’s the best of both worlds 🙂

Welcome back, Neha! Can’t wait to read about your trip
and finds!
I highly recommend the bride and groom think about the little aspects of their wedding and how they can incorporate their personalities into it.
My favorite things at our wedding were the things that truly represented us and our off-beat nature: our sock monkey picture book instead of a traditional guest book and our personalized wooden cake topper people custom painted to loosely resemble us.
