For a wedding, probably the most challenging aspect of the event is – Food. To make the wedding ceremony different, certain wedding preparations are needed.

Indian weddings are such an extravagant affair and with the food being such a prime factor, hiring a good wedding caterer and extracting the right wedding catering services from them can be a big task. Wedding catering is likely to be one of the biggest expenses in a wedding. In fact, the food and beverage cover more than half of the wedding’s budget.

We suggest you, to do a thorough research about the leading caterers in your area, about their specialties, etc. This will give you a clear picture of the various catering companies and will help you in selecting the best.

Let’s understand what the caterers do and their catering services for the wedding so that you are well-informed about their responsibilities at the venue.

• The Inclusion of Local Ingredients

One of the hottest upcoming catering trends involves the delicacies being prepared with local ingredients. Local flavours are taking the lead and inspiring the catering menu. Serving the traditional food made with the local ingredients is something which is loved by all. A good caterer will collect ingredients from your wedding location and make them the focal point of the catering. Choose a caterer who will assure you the availability of all the local ingredients for your wedding date. Try adding fresh fruits and vegetables to your dishes and make your guests fall in love with the food for weeks.

• Cake of your Choice

When it comes to choosing a cake for the wedding ceremony, the first thought that comes to mind is of classic white cake that every caterer prepares. Creativity and innovations are making their way to prepare some out of the box ideas for wedding cakes. Instead of serving a basic cake tell your caterer to pick up a different flavour or try using the combination of two or more flavours.

You can consider a colourful combination of some contrasting, small-tiered cakes and can even offer brownies, cupcakes, muffins, ice cream, etc. to make your wedding memorable and interesting. A reputed caterer will always give you more ideas on his own and give you a cake you will be really proud of! You can also explore some websites for getting ideas of a variety of Indian wedding cakes.

• Food on Wheels

This one trend is getting popular these days and will certainly rule the minds of people in 2018. Food truck for a wedding function is a cool move. This “meals on wheels” concept is getting really popular at weddings these days.

These are best for outdoor weddings and can also travel directly to your location. Ask your wedding caterer to serve the food on these trucks which will add a swank and grace to your wedding party. There are numerous wedding catering services that offer these kinds of exclusive themes to make your wedding chic!

• Unique Desserts

It’s always the dessert that completes the meal by gratifying your taste buds and bringing a smile to your face. So, this part of the meal should always be delectable and unique. Each year it’s different with unconventional, innovative, customized, and special indo-western fusion desserts. Ask your caterer to present the conventional desserts with flavours that display thoughtfulness and quality.

Artisanal kulfis, high-quality sweets, gourmet ice cream, chocolates, cookies etc. are a good choice. Don’t forget to ensure that your caterer is providing you with two-three options of desserts that will help in pleasing everyone in the crowd!

• DIY Station

Yes, it’s true! DIY or Do It Yourself activities are really getting popular and in fact, we have spotted some of the coolest DIY food stations this season. People are loving this, as it keeps their guests engaged with fun activities and offer something different wherein they can show their creativity. In 2018, DIY food stations would certainly be an innovative version of ‘live counters’. It will provide your guests with the freedom to create their own dishes. This idea has been slowly and steadily finding its way into the Indian wedding scene. So, get this done in coordination with your wedding caterer and make your wedding an entertaining event.

• Balance in Food and Service

The right balance is really important when it comes to the wedding menu. There should be everything for everyone and the food should be of top quality. When we mean balance, we mean balance in flavours, types of cuisine, varieties of food items, presentation etc. In Indian weddings, it is essential not only to get the taste right but also to consider the level of service and the time lapse between the meals served. When you get all this balance right; you can rest assured that your wedding menu will be remembered for years to come! And do we need to say that a good caterer will deliver the right balance without even you telling him to do so?

• Venue Considerations

The choice of your Indian wedding caterer depends on the venue. And a good caterer will always have a close look at the venue and deliver his service taking the space constraints and other essentials in consideration. Some venues have a lot of constraints and restrictions and even the heavy flow of guests sometimes interrupts the flow of food to the venue.

A trusted caterer will have a strict check about this and will ensure that there is no disruption in his level of service. He will find the way out without any help from your side.

• Serving Style

Provided by the venue management or by the catering company, traditional Indian weddings have table-seated meals with servers who serve the food. In South Indian weddings, guests are served on plantain leaves, while in most modern Indian weddings you tend to see buffet meals. The prices can all vary depending on the kind of service you choose. When you choose the right caterer, he will have all this information beforehand and will provide his set-up without any extra inputs or suggestions from your side.  Make a wise decision!

• Menu Items

Indian wedding menus differ largely based on the regional preferences and the right wedding caterer understands this better than anybody else. Always check the menu carefully that the wedding caterer provides before you finalize him. Some points to help you decide here – For vegetarians, there is a wide range of choices including appetizers consisting of pakoras and samosas, fried poppadums, and (in the western weddings) Aloo wadi, Surali wadi, etc.

In the main course, one can have vegetable curries, paneer gravies, Dal Tadka, dry vegetables such as fried potatoes or mixed vegetables etc. served with fried Indian puffed bread called Pooris or popular Indian flatbreads called Naans.

In the non-vegetarian items, the right caterer will provide you with the following: chicken, lamb and Goan fish curries and Ghosht etc. which are the popular items. Both vegetarian and non-vegetarian fares include rice varieties like Biryanis, Pilafs etc. Condiments and accompaniments including salads, pickles (achaar), and mint chutney are common in a good spread.

Good wedding caterers will provide you catering services like:

• The wedding planning always starts with a meeting – a real brainstorm of the outlook of what you want your wedding to be like, the Indian cuisine available with the caterer and any customization and even a consultation over a theme wedding.
• Once the venue is booked, the caterer will focus on providing a structure to the day that ensures that the important moments are a focus for all. This is to ensure that each and every element is like a dream comes true.
• The right caterer will always limit the number of weddings he takes to maintain the highest standards and supply unique, productive and efficient service.
• The only philosophy of a good wedding caterer is to delight the customers with a wide array of dishes, with cultural richness and sumptuous flavours along with the highest standard and especially “customised menus” for all occasions.
• Top wedding caterers cater for all wedding related occasions, whether it is a Sanji, Mehndi night or Reception Party. From 25 to 5000 guests, the numbers are never a concern for them.
• The caterer will offer logistical support and top notch, friendly, helpful, and responsive service apart from a versatile cuisine with vast years of experience backing him in this field.

With some mouth-watering food, make your special day unforgettable for people attending the wedding. To delight the palate of your guests, make sure your menu has a fine balance of Indian feasts and global cuisine. For your sweet-tooth, include a wide variety of mouth-watering gourmet desserts. Having your own signature cocktail menu will add a personalized touch to the celebrations apart from the provision of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

It is also essential that you work closely with your wedding caterers in order to give your guests a true ‘culinary experience’ they deserve. It is a good idea to shortlist several wedding catering companies before finalizing one. To ensure that the best food is served during various ceremonies, rituals and the Indian wedding reception, word-of-mouth referrals, and testimonials would also go a long way.

Get all the help

A wedding is once in a lifetime event. If you are feeling a little lost as the bride or groom, do not worry, this is exactly how every bride and groom feel. Most of us do not even have siblings to help us out. Our friends live far away and are lucky to get to attend the wedding. Hiring a professional wedding planner becomes mandatory if we do not have enough experienced people among our friends and family. If you do have a big family and many friends who are available, you are truly blessed.

The Little Things

Youngsters of this generation are pretty good at getting things done. Even if you have never arranged a big event before, you will know how to make contacts and reach out to them. If you are making your own wedding arrangements, it is stressful. It is even more stressful if you are organising the wedding of a dear one, say a sibling, cousin, or best friend. But you won’t go wrong in things like the wedding venue, date, food menu, and finding a priest. The places you will go wrong are the little things that often go unnoticed.

The bridal outfit and makeup have to be on point. But you might have not even thought about the flower Chaadar and the family heirloom which needs to be hunted down at the last moment. You must have already thought about the mandap decoration and the wedding bands, but the wedding aisle that needs to be well decorated too.

A Little Help

Since you have so many things going on within the wedding, we thought of helping you out a little. We will tell you about some amazing ideas for decorating the aisle. So, here are some ideas.

• Gazebo of Greenery

Green leaves, real or fake, are easier to maintain than flowers. Plants are much cheaper too. Go for a gazebo with small pots of green plants to make it a lush green shade to get married under. You can add some white flowers all over to make everything look brighter, but no other colour.

• Balloon Arch

If you are a little tight on the budget and do not want to compromise on anything, go for multiple balloon arches leading to the wedding aisle. Avoid using multiple colours of balloons altogether because that looks more like a kid’s birthday party. Go for all white, like the Christian wedding, or all light pink if you want a subtle hint of colour, all yellow to make things much happier. You could also match the colour with wedding dress of the bride.

• Flower Mesh

If you must have flowers for the wedding aisle, go for a meshwork in super ductile iron frames so that you can wind it up with strings of flowers such that the mesh is not visible. It will look like the entire structure is just flowers hanging on their own. This is one of the most beautiful aisle decoration ideas.

• Cave Arch

To continue with the wild imagination, an arch that looks like a cave is perfect. The wedding decorators will know how to make a sturdy structure that resembles a real cave. You can add more detail to it by making the inside walls a little rugged. Let the bride walk through it while nobody can see her. If you pull this one off well, the guests are going to breathe heavily in anticipation for the little time the bride is inside the cave, and have a sigh of relief when she comes out on the other side, despite knowing it was only a made up design. The effect is much like the haunted house effect at theme parks. This idea can be used for a park wedding theme.

• All White

Indian weddings are mostly red and pink. But if you like the Christian wedding, which is quieter but has a more serene aura, you should go for entirely white wedding aisle decorations. White balloons, white flowers, white drapes, everything white.Let the bridal dress and groom’s outfit be of the dark maroon or red colours that are usual for Indian weddings. Let the aisle be in contrast to the bride and groom’s outfits.

• Colourful Drapes

If the bride is wearing the classy white and golden combination, balance out the colours in the aisle drapes. Go for all eastern colours like the sunshine yellow, sunny orange, crimson, and pink. The right blend of these colours will make the aisle look amazingly beautiful.

• Pillar Decorations

For indoor wedding aisles, make use of the pillars. Let them be the element of beauty. Many people avoid halls with pillars right through the middle because they look at it as a hindrance in the way of the decorations. But if you find wedding venues with these gigantic pillars running through the hall, you are lucky. You can put fairy lights on them, drape them up in the colours you want and hang flowers from them. You can use them to run a canopy of flowers or lights to cover the aisle up like a boulevard. Avoid balloons though; having too many balloons indoors makes it suffocating.

• Fake Pillars

If you liked the pillar idea so much that you really want to have them even for an outdoor wedding, or indoor one where the pillars are at the ends of the hall, you can get fake pillars installed. Leave it all up to the wedding planners and decorators. All you need to do is let them know what kind of canopy or boulevard you want the pillars for. You can have strings of balloons outdoors, or orchids, drapes with hanging flowers, little plant pots, the list is endless.

• Canopy of Creepers

A canopy of creepers is classy, not too wild, and not too fake. It reflects nature so perfectly. There can be little wildflowers growing from them. You can have some of the creepers grow out and hang from the canopy. This might just make the coolest of all wedding aisle decorations in the city.

If you liked these wedding aisle decoration ideas, use them. Discuss them with your wedding decorators. If you have some aisle decoration ideas of your own, share it with the world here and that’s of course after you are married so that nobody takes inspiration from you and gets it done before you get a chance to flaunt your unique idea of decorations at your own wedding.

As a bride you definitely have a vision of what to wear on your wedding, but what about your mom this time? You surely want your mother to look as graceful as you are. But, for that ideal look, you need to go for some serious dress hunting to give her the well-poised look.

Have a look at some of the colour combinations that you could undoubtedly choose for your mother.

• Cream & Peach

A very delectable combination indeed. When paired up with some Zardosi work, this saree would make your mother stand out from the crowd.You may choose to have some silk weaved or georgette saree over this combination. Make sure that the saree is peach coloured while the embroidery is a cream one.

• Self-design Beige or Cream Coloured

This seems to be an eternal style to the sport in the wedding. With such a soothing colour in the background and an equally gorgeous design on above, your mother is definitely going to steal the limelight for a while. Just let her pair it up with her favourite Jhumkas or any other jewellery of her choice, and your mother-daughter duo will be the talk of the town.

• Cream and Red

No, this combination won’t look bad at all. When you are wearing a burgundy or a red saree or lehenga on your wedding, then your mom can absolutely go for a lighter hue by sporting your colour with a beige one. The beige and red could be used in half style combo wherein the beige should be on the pallu with net embroidery over it.

• Kanjeevaram Silk

This is a gorgeous piece in every sense. Traditional sarees of Tamil Nadu, these sarees are popular all over the world.Rich in colour, texture and design, these make for a perfect wedding attire to be worn with gold. Let your mother pick her colour and be the showstopper along with you.

• Bomkai Saree

This is a traditional piece from Odisha. Also called as Sonepuri silk, this saree is a work of art. Made with the combination of Ikat design and rich colour, this intricate design of silk is magical on nine yards of material. Good for any occasion, this saree is available in both cotton and silk. Best displayed in darker colours, it would look very lovely on your mother.

• Paithani Sarees

A traditional masterpiece of Aurangabad, this saree always makes way to wedding ceremony one way or another. The peacock monogram over the saree lends individuality to the saree. The vibrant colour combos of black, indigo or green will make an excellent choice for your mother.

• Banarasi

A very popular choice among the brides, this saree is equally in demand by the mothers as well. The work of gold and silver zari design along with motifs gives a regal look. The design is too detailed which makes it splendid for the wearer.

• Chanderi

A Madhya Pradesh speciality, Chanderi is a fabric for both young and old. The sheen on the saree accompanied with delicate yet flamboyant designs makes it a better choice for the mother of the bride. This has also opted as one of those must-haves sarees in Indian Weddings. Here are some of the suggestions that would be helpful while choosing the dress for your mother.

• Pick the right attire

The first and foremost thing to keep in mind before shopping is what to shop? Is she going to wear a saree or suit? Or is it some half saree lehenga or jacket lehenga that she is looking for? Generally speaking, the mothers always seem partial to saree or suit. But, choose a classic piece. Kanjeevaram, Chiffon or Georgette are some of the fabrics that go well with their age.

• Colour that matters

Any Indian mom in saree is an epitome of elegance. But choosing a bold and brighter colour than yours would be a wrong idea. It should not be jazzy or glittery enough but a sophisticated piece indeed. It is not that you have to go with beige or a caramel coloured one. But a brighter colour with minimal embellishments would be proper. Since she is going to pair up the attire with jewellery, you need to be very meticulous with its style and design. Also, you should be very particular about the complexion or what colour your mother is confident to carry.

• Design & Embellishments

If you are going for some combination of mother-daughter dresses for Indian weddings in some complimentary style, then it is essential to keep the embellishments on the attire in check. Choose a cutwork embroidery, Kantha embroidery, zardosi embroidery, pearl or stone embellishments for your blouse and go with some contrasting but soothing colours on your saree. Not just the wedding, but you need to keep the conduit of your sarees for every ceremony in the same way.

• Perfect Jewellery

Of course, you are going to wear trendy bridal jewellery. And with such a variety before you from Kundan to gold, silver, diamond, pearl or stone accessories, you need to keep everything subtle yet glamorous enough for your mother. Keep the embellishment on the attire minimum if she is wearing heavy Kundan jewellery. Also, keep the jewellery complimentary with your dress colour. An intelligent combination of jewellery and saree will bring out the class in your style.

With so many on display and so many fabrics to choose from, make your purchase a wise one as per your ceremonies and personality.

• Candelabra

Want your wedding decor to be a magical charm affair? Pick candelabra for centrepieces on tables. These look just so gorgeous and help to add a lot of character along with a certain charm as you put them on tables. They don’t only add to the elegance of the ceremony but also make a style statement. This choice would definitely make a unique addition to the idea of trendy wedding decorations by being classy, mystic in nature and carrying all that extra dose of beauty in it.

• Vintage

If you like to experiment, then this is the best option for you. For a couple who wants to differentiate and like to be more relatable in their approach, its best to use the Vintage theme which is simple yet most different in approach. Use mercury glass (the slightly distressed silver finish) or vintage tea tins to incorporate a dash of metallic into your centrepieces. For that extra oomph, you actually don’t need anything else. Especially when paired with other vintage elements, these details will add a different texture and more visual interest.

• Lotus Urlis

Urlis is a favourite thing when it comes to the centrepieces of Indian weddings. These help to add that dose of tradition and look ethnic and just so Indian. Place them on tables and let people admire the peaceful vibe they project throughout the harmonious ceremony! The beautiful flowers with a few tea light candles when styled in Urlis filled with water, add to the uniqueness of the event. As light reflects through the water in the Urlis, they also help to add that extra glam and almost leave you mesmerized at the first glance. As Indian and traditional as they look, lotus Urlis with tea light candles makes a gorgeous choice for centrepieces for the wedding.

• Pastel Party

Choose soft coloured flowers and add them to cute short glasses for a classy, elegant look to your table The short glasses will look elegant, modern and so glam adding a perfect touch of beauty on your tables as a centrepiece. You can also circle them with some fairy lights to add that extra dose of grandeur and finesse.

• Twigs and Crystals

Twigs and crystals are popularly used in weddings these days and they go so well together. Chances are you might get a good deal on them if your decorator already has these centrepieces in his inventory. These make a great combination without doing much, especially if you use just one shade of flowers in these arrangements. For the people who don’t like big table arrangements and want to add something nice and yet simpler in look, this is the best option.

• Potted Plants

This is an exquisite choice for a couple who would like to experiment with non-traditional decor styles. Potted plants do look cute and would be the right choice for a couple who wants their table arrangements to stand out from the rest and look modern and chic. Not very popular in Indian wedding decor, tiny potted plants are a gorgeous pick for wedding centrepiece ideas and are being used abundantly in overseas weddings though. One can style them with more elements as well to add that extra dose of style and make their wedding arrangements stand out. What else? If you’ve not yet decided on the wedding favours, make these potted plants find their homes in your wedding. Moreover, they also make great return gifts for your guests as well, and according to some stories, also prove to be lucky for the couple.

• Bird Cages

You might have seen numerous weddings with centrepieces made with birdcages filled with flowers. Made famous for overseas weddings, these birdcages are now being adopted famously in the Indian weddings too. Whether you have a day wedding or one in the night, you can style these differently with or without some fairy lights and add a lot of glam to your wedding tables. Bird cages can be an amazing wedding centrepiece choice if made a little more functional. You can add a twist here! Along with a few flowers, place the wedding favours in the cages with their names. So your guests can take their wedding favours from their table itself! Great, isn’t it?

• Tiny Doli or Palki

How can we forget this important ritual that is prominent in Indian weddings? After all, traditional Indian weddings have always been associated with the culture. A palki is such a great idea to have as a centrepiece along with some beautiful flower arrangements in it, isn’t it? You can add some pastel or bright coloured flowers in small arrangements to make this a unique centrepiece.  These centrepieces will add more to the beauty of the celebration. The bride will always remember the time she bid adieu to her family and left for the new home sitting in a Palki/Doli!

• High And Low

Create a stunning celebration by using high and low centrepieces. This is a trend these days made popular by overseas weddings. It can simply be managed by using some tall stands along with some short ones beside them to make for a beauteous arrangement on the table. Moreover, it won’t even disrupt the view on the table as well. This kind of a wedding centrepiece works well for any kind of theme – a traditional as well as a modern one with just the interchange of the elements in it.

• Birchwood Delights

Delight your guests by utilizing thick or thin wood slices in your centrepieces. This is trendy, looks simply classy and add such different dimensions to your table arrangement. It is so wonderful to use a Birchwood and display flowers on them, isn’t it? This kind of arrangement doesn’t obstruct the view as well and is beautiful to look at; you can use bright or pastel shades of flowers or other elements with it. Birchwood creates a special feel because it’s a white wood instead of the typical brown.

• Add Some Signage

To make your arrangements a little different, it’s best to add some element which not just makes it more attractive but also works up for fulfilling the purpose. And for this, it’s best to add some kind of a signage which gives information about the essential details of your wedding or anything that a couple would want to talk about. Brighten up your celebration with vibrant flowers and a fun sign with this bright idea. Your guests will appreciate the thoughtful touch.

• Rustic

These days, rustic wedding centrepieces use rugged, natural elements to create interesting arrangements. Rustic wedding centrepieces are often planted or arranged with flowers in vases. With the addition of jewel-toned dahlias, metallic rick-rack, the basic wooden planter boxes or succulents become a bit more glamorous. To create something more wild and untamed than the average centrepiece, use lots of greenery, allowing it to sort of spill out. To highlight the greenery, couples often opt to select white, rather than brightly coloured flowers.  Surround your planters with bits of moss or ivy for a woodsier wedding. We love the idea of using your all-greenery centrepieces in your garden after the big day!

• Majestic Moss

Boost your earthy look by using moss as a table marker. Simple, cutesy and yet conveying so much meaning, it is a rather nice way of getting away from the usual and use something that you don’t get to see often at weddings. To highlight the moss, you just need glass to bring out the ethereal beauty of the moss. The glass coche will keep it looking classy and fresh, along with some lights on the table beside this arrangement. It will do all the talking at your D day by being the perfect table arrangement for your tables. Wedding centrepieces can be an afterthought when planning a wedding, but it’s a perfect opportunity to show off your style and impress your guests. Go for something that speaks about your style, something a couple can relate to and something which goes well with your wedding theme. Make sure it conveys a meaning rather than just being beauty element to look at!

If you aren’t the type who gets excited about marriage, you cannot avoid feeling worried about it when people start pestering you with questions. Like it, or dread it, you cannot ignore it. If you are already on the line to get hitched, then Here is something useful for you.

The Most Important Thing

What could be the most important thing on your wedding day? The wedding venue decorations? The food menu? Oh, did the bartender arrive? What about the DJ? Is any guest having trouble finding their way? Yes, things like these are the essentials. But on your wedding day, none of this is supposed to be your concern. You have done your job. Maybe you were the main person arranging all this, weeks or months back. But the wedding day must be all stress-free for the bride or groom. The most important thing for you to do on the D day is to be relaxed, feel good, be well rested, and look gorgeous.

All eyes will be on you on the wedding day. From the moment you step down the stairs with a delicate flower Chaadar shading your head, till the time you go back inside after the events and dinner. This is why your hair, makeup, outfit, and every little accessory, everything has to be on fleek.

Too Many Things

There are too many things to worry about like your appearance on your wedding day. You need to start well ahead of time. Do not go bridal shopping just a month before the wedding. Start with at least six months in hand. There are outfits to buy for the wedding Reception, Haldi, Mehendi, Sangeet, and Wedding day. Even if someone is gifting you the dress like it is traditionally done, you need to be there to choose it. With that comes the accessory shopping. Jewellery like bridal earrings, shoes, handbags, everything has to be on point. Give yourself enough time for all that.

Jewellery

Many youngsters get totally annoyed when their parents take them for jewellery shopping. Say, when your parents asked you to accompany them somewhere and you end up at a jewellery store. There are other sneak modes like they said, they’d buy you one little diamond nose pin for your birthday, but they start looking at chunky wedding jewellery the moment you enter. But you need to understand, gold and diamond jewellery for wedding needs to be well planned and arranged beforehand.

Even if you are rich enough for all that jewellery, you need to shop early. Sometimes maybe, when you are not even planning to get married. You might feel that they are pushing you to get married, but they are actually pre-planning. Once you understand this, even you will take interest in the earrings designs in gold for marriage, or the bridal Maangtika on display.

Spoilt for Choice

Once you start thinking about your trendy bridal jewellery, you will discover a treasure you have never seen before. Brides get more types of jewellery to choose from, but grooms too get their fair share in the form of cufflinks, wristbands, princely necklaces, and Sarpech. As of now, we are going to help the bride with some bridal earrings design choices.

Bridal Earring Options

The earrings are pivotal in bridal jewellery because it is closest to your face. The Maangtika and the nose pin or nose ring go right on your face. But the earrings define the shape of the face. The necklace design depends on the earrings. The hairstyle depends on the earrings. So, it is pretty tricky to get it right. This is why; we will help you out selecting the best earrings for your wedding look.

• Design Matched to Outfit

The common mistake people still make while choosing accessories for their outfit is to find an exact match for the colour. If you are wearing custom jewellery where the earrings are colourful, go for a contrast or a lighter but brighter shade of the same colour that is predominant on the outfit.

• Design Matched to Hairstyle

If you will wear your hair up on the wedding day, buy a chunky but not too round pair of earrings. If you are going to wear your hair down, go for huge studs that will look gorgeous but that keeps getting tangled in your hair or bridal hair accessories.

• Design to Complement Facial Structure

The thumb rule is long slender designs for round faces and hoop designs for long narrow faces. While this rule applies in most cases, your facial structure and hairstyle together will decide what kind of earrings you need. When you go for earrings shopping, take a tasteful friend with you to give their honest opinion.

• Choose the Material

Gold is the traditional bridal jewellery base. It is very common to look for earrings designs in gold for marriage purposes. Diamond is the next most popular thing. You can go for custom made jewellery to control exactly what amount of gold, diamond, silver, or other stone you want in your jewellery.

• Long Teardrop Design

The teardrop design is very popular because it is so sleek and trendy. But you cannot wear a single longish thread for your wedding. If you want to go for the teardrop anyway, go for three chains or five chain designs with a teardrop at the end of each chain.

• Broad Mesh Design

 A mesh design adds a very delicate elegance to any jewellery. It is very practical too as it makes the earrings look big, but it is still very light and comfortable on the ear.

• Intricate Floral Design

Floral designs never go out of fashion. Bridal earrings with floral designs can be worn on other occasions too. You can wear it at someone else’s wedding, or at your child’s first birthday party. If you are worried about the earrings looking too common, your concern is valid. Floral designs are indeed very common. But when you mix meshwork with the floral design, your earrings will be the most unique of all.

• Solid Hoop Design

This is best for long faces with a big forehead. People don’t wear round hoops for weddings usually. Your hoops shouldn’t be plain. The hoops need to be twisted, or studded with stones. If you have a long neck, this is a very good option for you. Diamond studded gold hoops are amazing.

• Traditional Designs

Traditional designs include peacock, elephant, flowers, leaves, mandala, and so on. You can wear Kundan, Jadau earrings with meenakari work. These traditional designs look wonderful in the yellow, blue, green, red meenakari designs.

• Modern Patterns

Modern patterns include abstract designs. When you see a child curiously looking at your earrings, wondering what it depicts, you know your earring is beautiful. But modern patterns will have adults behave the same way. Go for a unique design with some modern patterns. But make sure your earrings are rocking!

With one of the most infallible pieces, you don’t need anything else to accentuate your waist.

1. Dangling Chain

Sporting a beautiful dangling waist chain for lehenga is an ultimate way to either show off your curves or hide your less-than-shapely waist. A favourite option by the modern bride, it looks so chic and helps to give a nice contemporary look as well.

Different layers adorning your waist will look highly versatile and complement your traditional look as well. Go for an enchanting and aesthetic design and get decked up in a truly ethnic way to walk down the aisle this season.

1. Keychain Design

Women and the keychain have an old connection, don’t you agree? Haven’t we seen the women in our family always wearing the keychain at their waist even when it was for a reason? The classics that your mother used to flaunt at their waist level can look very stylish now and is hugely preferred by the brides of today. Define your waist and your wedding couture in a distinctive way by tucking in a stately Kamarbandh with a keychain. Get your mom’s re-polished or buy a new one for your D-day.

Tips to Style Kamarbandh the Right Way:

• First of all, you should figure out what type of Kamarbandh would go well with your outfit colour and pattern.
• If your outfit has golden embroidery or combination, then don’t go for silver Kamarbandh.
• If your Sari or Lehenga has heavy embroidery, try to go for simple Kamarbandh.
• If your outfit is simple, then opt for three-layered or two-layered Kamarbandh to add up light to your look.
• Make sure you don’t go for a broad Kamarbandh unless it is a very important ceremony that you are attending.
• To keep it simple yet elegant go for pearl or diamond Kamarbandh. This will lift your look with ease.
• If you wearing a Lehenga or Sharara make sure you wear Kamarbandh a bit above your waist.
• If you are styling it with a sari, it should be below or on the waist.
• Sari like cotton or silk can be styled with Chabi Chhalla to maintain the traditional look.
• Avoid overdoing it as it can break your look.

Wearing Kamarbandh is highly trendy and customary essential in some counties of Asia specifically in India. Indian women used to wear Kamarbandhs on a regular basis in earlier days. Though nowadays it is worn only on special occasions, the ornament has not lost its charm. An elegant Kamarbandh will give the bride a sophisticated look.

The creative trend will instantly add a dash of élan to your pretty ensemble and turn you into a head turner on your D day!

Let’s get to know the Punjabi wedding rituals in brief. Believe us, even reading them is as fun as being a part of them, till you witness them the next time in your life.

• Roka

Roka ceremony is engagement between the families of the bride and the groom. It is performed on a mutually suitable chosen date as ‘shubhmuhurat’. Gifts and cash are exchanged here and the function is attended by family members and close friends of the families. The marriage date is fixed after roka.

• Sagan

Sacred fire ceremony named “havan” is performed and the ceremony generally takes at the groom’s house. Here, the girl’s father applies the “tikka” on the boy’s forehead who takes the blessing of the girl’s family members. Mithais and cash are given by the relatives and friends present from the girl’s side to the boy. It is indeed a happy and peaceful ceremony between the families.

• Chuda

The ritual involves a havan or puja that is conducted by a pundit or priest and is conducted on the morning of the wedding. The oldest maternal uncle of the bride has an important role to play here and this is also the time when the maternal uncle presents the wedding lehenga to his niece. He is the one who puts the set of red and cream ivory bangles on the bride, touched and blessed by all those who are present as a part of this ceremony.

Flowers are sprinkled on the bride and sweets are distributed to commemorate the beginning of all the other Punjabi wedding traditions. All relatives, friends, and cousins tie kaliras on the kada or bangle on the bride’s wrists once the chuda has been worn by the bride with a sense of pride in her heart.

• Vatna

This tradition is also conducted at the bridegroom’s house. The bride is facing four lamps or Diyas. Here, the female relatives and friends put Vatna (a paste made of turmeric plus mustard oil) on the body of the bride. It is considered to be favourable for all four lamps to remain glowing brightly so that the brightness on the bride’s face rests perpetually. The turmeric acts like a scrub making the bride’s body beautiful and helps to give her that much-needed glow before the wedding. Haldi is applied on the groom’s face as well. All their respective family members and relatives also apply oil on the bride and the groom’s forehead and give their blessings.

• Ghadoli

The relatives, family members, and friends visit the nearby temple to fill a pitcher full of holy water after the completion of the vatna ceremony at the bridegroom’s house. Both the bride and bridegroom go off to get ready for the main wedding as they have a bath in this holy water.

• Chunni Ceremony

This auspicious ceremony is performed by mother of the groom who covers the head of the bride with a red scarf or chunni which signifies that from now on the bride-to-be is responsible for upholding the honour and pride of the groom’s family. The bride also wears the clothes and jewellery brought by her in-laws and the groom marks her head with sindoor or vermilion as a sign of commitment.

• Ladies Sangeet

The ladies get together and have a bash. And well, all the male members die to become apart of this ladies sangeet. The ladies present at the event indulge themselves in eating snacks, gossiping, teasing the bride. Everyone has to come up and dance and be part of the fun and cheerful moments. This event is all about singing, dancing, and merrymaking giving everlasting memories to the bride of her girl’s troupe.

• Mehendi Ceremony

A professional artist is usually called upon the event for fine artistic designs and the mehendi is one of the most important of the several Punjabi wedding rituals. Here, the bride, her sisters and other female members extend their arms to have them designed with different Mehendi designs. Moments like these capture the real emotions of the family and everybody wants to see the hands of the bride for the special design that is applied to her.

• Gana Bandhna

Here, a morning prayer is conducted by the bride and the groom in their respective homes, where the Gana (sacred thread or mouli) is tied to their right wrists in the early morning of the wedding day. The Gana tied with as many knots as possible in order to make it difficult to untie later.

• Sehrabandi

The Vatna is followed by the dressing up of the groom in his wedding attire just like it’s done in the bride’s home. A pooja is performed after the groom is ready in his wedding attire. The “sehra” is then tied to the groom’s head by an elderly relative or the groom’s father. Touched by all the people present in the pooja, the groom ears a pink colour turban on his head. Gifts and cash are given to the boy as a token of good luck by all those who are present.

• Ghodi Chadna

Here, the groom’s sister-in-law lines the boy’s eyes with Surma to ward off all the evils as the groom makes his way to the wedding. Thereafter, the groom’s sisters and cousins feed and adorn his mare. People use cash and perform the Varna ritual to ward off the evil eye.  The groom immediately leaves his home for the wedding venue after this ritual by climbing his horse.

• Milni

As the Baraat is welcomed by the bride’s family, both the families gather for the Milni which is basically a formal introduction of key relatives from each family. Before the actual milni begins, ardaas is done and the relatives of the bride are introduced to the corresponding relatives of the groom. This is one of the warmest rituals of the several Punjabi wedding traditions. Lots of hugs and warm exchanges are done between the family members from both sides who look forward to witnessing rest of the ceremony.

• Varmala

The varmala or the exchange of wedding garlands is the first instance when the bride and groom meet each other on the wedding day. The groom on entering the venue is taken to a raised stage where he sits and waits for the bride. Garlands are exchanged once the bride arrives, and this is a ceremony that involves a lot of teasing and fun along with some show of strong emotions.

• Kanyadaan

The father of the bride gives his daughter’s hand officially to the groom and this ritual is also known in Hindu Traditions as the biggest sacrifice for a bride’s family.

It is hard for the father to convey it to the groom that his daughter is now the official daughter of the new family and that he has given her to the Groom with all his best wishes.

• Phere

The Phera’s include taking seven circles around the sacred flame and it is the tradition in the Hindu wedding that seals the marriage. Pheras are the most sacred part of the ritual and the chanting of mantras during the Phera’s by the bride and the groom has a lot of significance in their married life. Post the Phera, Groom applies sindoor in the division of the bride’s hair and also ties the mangal sutra around her neck. Friends and family shower rose petals on the couple throughout the Phera’s giving them their best wishes. The blessings of all the elders are taken as well by the newly wedded couple.

• Vidaai/Doli

It is indeed the most emotional moment for the bride and her family and just about everyone. By throwing a handful of rice over her shoulders in her family’s direction, the bride bids a tearful goodbye to her family. She expresses her gratitude towards them and makes the first start as the new bride. She bids her last goodbyes as she leaves her maternal home in a decorated car. This bridal procession is known as Doli.
