Importance of Colors at Indian Weddings

Indian weddings are traditionally seen as a majestic and colorful event that can go from a few days to a week or more than that in some cases. As the country of India has always be seen a uniquely diverse country when it comes to religion, cultures and traditions. The color of red has been the most popular color for brides as it is considered to be highly auspicious, but in the recent past few years the weddings have a bigger diversity of colors.

The Bride

•   Whatever be the color of the wedding dress, the use of lots of ornaments is necessary for a traditional Indian bride. Accessories made of gold like the necklaces, bracelets, rings, earrings and the ornaments worn in the hair are worn jointly. Gold represents opulence and wealth.

The Groom

•    There is a huge variety of Clothes to wear at a wedding and there are a lot of options for the Indian groom in this time. Conventionally, grooms used to the trousers with long jacket with embroidery work on it (some of the types have a Nehru collar while others have no collar at all) some grooms prefer to keep it simple by sporting a Kurta pajama. The grooms in the Southern part of India are limited to a very small choice or rather we should say no choice of color as they get only pure white for their wedding day. As the south Indian grooms are constricted to only white color the grooms in the northern part of the country are free to choose any color from red to maroon or magenta. No matter what the colors of their kurtas are all the grooms have one thing in common is the turban or “phetas” which are worn above the head are worn in different ways. Even though black is usually considered the color of evil in India, the grooms of the modern times also wear western style suits or tuxedos in black.

Most popular colors for Indian Brides and Grooms:

Red or Maroon:

These colors and most of its shades have been on the top since a very long time. And it won’t be unfair to declare these as the most popular colors in the Indian weddings. The most important factor that these have been so popular because the traditions and cultures consider red color as the “color of a married woman.”

This tradition has boosted the use of red colors highly in Indian weddings. It is also important to note that this versatile color suits ever3yone.

Pink:
If red or maroon does not come among your choice of colors, it is advised to go for a softer shade that is the color of pink. The color of pink is very popular color among the Gujarati, North Indian, and Bengali brides. This color looks best when matched with accessories which are in the color of silver and the only bad thing about the color of pink is that it suits lighter skin tones. If you have a dark skin tone, you need not to worry as there are many other shades of pink that look gorgeous on people of a darker skin tone.

Orange:

Orange color suits the Indian skin and looks good on almost everyone. It also goes very well with the combinations of golden, green and blue color, and hence it becomes very easy and convenient to pick up right accessories for the dress.

Navy Blue:
This can be considered among one of the colors that look good on the Indians We believe it’s on the list because of how it makes you stand out of the crowd. But be careful! This color doesn’t suit every skin tone.

Ways to Enhance Your Mehndi Function

Mehndi is a very important conventional and exciting pre-wedding ritual. In India, a lot of focus is on the traditions and rituals. Indian people are enthusiastic lovers and admirers of colors, the feeling of festivity and elegance. People usually look forward to get all of this in their mehndi functions. The ceremony has been ubiquitous since a very long time and it is a very essential part of the wedding ceremony. It is considered to be so important that any wedding is generally considered incomplete without this function.

Tips to enhance your Mehndi function - 
Book Your Henna Artist:

When the preparation is for a Mehndi ceremony, the thing you should initially look at, is booking a good Henna artist well in advance. If anything is changing at the last minute like the number of people to any of the time changes,  it is much easier to do if you know your artist and communicate about any changes to her well in advance. It is important to get more than one artists if your guest list is quite long. When the main artist works on your Bridal Mehndi, other artists can design your guest’s hands.

 

Inviting Guests:

Sending invites for the functions well in advance to the guests well in advance like any other invite. The invite should include the place, the functions and the timings of the actual function. Some people want to invite everyone to make a big gala function and there are some who consider only close relatives to avoid too much unwanted hustle and bustle caused due to the big crowd. It has to be mentioned that one need not have to be pressurized to invite each and every friend because Mehndi ceremonies are reserved for the special ones. It is up to the host to invite only the closest buddies.

Be Ready to Load your Guests with Food:

Your friend and family are coming in for the function to add more beauty to the function. Yes, it is all about Mehndi and you. But, that does not at all mean that they should be left hungry. It’s fun to energize the celebrations with good food. It is sure that the guests would be starving after all the dancing, chatting and gossiping. So be prepared to treat them with snacks and refreshments of the best and different types or simply order Tiffin, tea or beverages. There is just no better way to end your function than with some good food.

What Fun Without Music:

It is a function that should be like a celebration of your life. And the whole feeling can be accentuated with the help of some good music in the background. A special CD of Mehndi song can be played in the background or there can also be a provision to have live performances from anyone in the group. One should always try and pick peppy and happy tracks for this function. In our country you can easily find separate Mehndi peppy song collection on the net easily.

The world that we live in currently is filled with people who are waiting for just a single chance to get an opportunity to point out the mistakes, low-points and flaws at your wedding. This is the reason why people have started focusing a lot when they are preparing for their weddings these days; and due to this very reason a new profession of Wedding management has come up in the recent times.

A wedding management company focuses primarily on the two main sections of any wedding which are pre event preparation for the wedding which consists of planning and designing the event.

The organizers have to take care of different sections of the wedding like the lights, food, drinks, decoration and most importantly the smooth and timely functioning of the complete event.

 
 
Any good and efficient wedding management company should always be ready for the most awkward and unwanted problems such as unavailability of the required number of serving staff, food and beverages quality check and proper coordination of the wedding.

It is also important to note that the decoration of the stage these days hold a very important position at any wedding.

The food items can be of different cuisines, textures and tastes. In the recent times it has largely been seen how the Indian palette is growing constantly and hence opening up to the new flavors.
