A Bollywood wedding Makes You the Star Of The Show!
Whether you’ve always felt you belonged on the big screen or you’re simply a fan of the movies, planning a Bollywood-themed wedding can help you celebrate your two loves (the person you’re marrying and your love for the cinema) in one unique presentation. For the contemporary Indian bride looking for a nontraditional ceremony, incorporating elements from motion pictures can display your fun side while creating something totally unique. Already popular colors for weddings, red and gold add just the right amount if glitz and glam for your special day.
The Pre-Wedding Celebration
Gathering family and friends for the mehndi ceremony can be made even more fun as mehndi and nail artists create beautiful images against the backdrop of Bollywood music and luxurious décor. In addition to serving traditional foods, you can also include some of the famous street food of Mumbai, the land of the Indian Film Industry.
The Wedding
Transform that hotel, church, banquet hall, temple or other venue into the palace of your dreams, and give yourself the star treatment with an illuminated mandap with gold pillars or a canopy made of regal shimmering fabric. If you’re daring, you can reenact a scene or song from your favorite movie. Because the theme isn’t necessarily tied to a religious ceremony, feel free to mix different cultural touches for a ceremony that reflects your sense of style. It’s perfect for inter-racial couples who would like to celebrate their diversity while still incorporating the traditional elements of the Jaimala or exchange of garlands, the seven steps of the Pheras and the Kanyadaan or giving away the bride.
The Post-wedding reception
Keep the spotlight on you at the reception with your own red carpet entrance. A different way to introduce the wedding party, place a red carpet or aisle runner outside from the limousine parked out front to the door. Wedding guests can line the aisles for that all-important photo-op before heading inside. Giving the guests disposable wedding cameras as wedding favors is a great way to create your own paparazzi! In case of inclement weather, roll the carpet from the door to your bridal party table. Either way, it will be a grand entrance. Once inside, guests are seated at tables named after your favorite movies, which is much more fun than boring table numbers. You can even create centerpieces to match the theme of the movie, as well as food stations that serve a variety of foods from the locations or regions of the movies. Enjoying such cuisine to the beat of exuberant Bollywood music will set the stage for a fantastically choreographed dance. Ending the celebration, guests can bid farewell to the bride and groom and be given themed Bollywood or Indian wedding favors, such as elephants, coasters or candles, to thank them for their love and support.
It doesn’t matter whether your wedding lasts for a day or a week–for the Bollywood Bride, it will be a celebration to remember!
