When I think about Indian wedding ceremonies, I picture bright colours and Bollywood music. These weddings are full of rituals and customs, and all of them have some religious significance. If you have ever attended an Indian wedding, you would have noticed they are so happening. Weddings are not just about rituals but the decor as well. We have observed that couples stress on the major decor like the mandap but not the overall presentation. Scroll down to learn more about how to make your ceremony décor more colourful and lively.


We are going to discuss the small elements that will spice up your event. At first, you will have to get the list of things that your pandit will be getting and the things you will need. You can arrange for a fancy plate than that of steel. For most of your pictures, the background would be essential, so try to think of something interesting and unique.


In every marriage, some common things are included, like fruits, flowers, sweets, etc. So, this is an amazing opportunity to indulge in colours and arrange them aesthetically.


Check your wedding planner’s previous work before finalizing. It is imperative to have an eye for detailing; as said before, smaller things like trays, thalis, etc., give a new look to the setup. At times, you can use such things for theme weddings too. All you and the wedding planner have to do is arrange it artistically.


Reds, golds, copper look rich and are the colours of prosperity; hence consider including these as a part of your setup. You can do this in multiple ways; like the mandap, carpet can be red in colour, you will anyways have some ornaments and gods of gold for the ceremony, other things that you can update like the havan kund, thalis, pots can be of clay or a different metal. Silver is considered auspicious at weddings, so having silver thalis for the bride and the groom would look royal and elegant.


We have observed that the wedding decor is usually very similar to what we have been looking at for years. Garlands of marigold, light fixtures, and a colour scheme that is dated if not cliche. In keeping up with the wedding season, we managed to pick out a few wedding decor ideas that are going to big in 2021, so you can plan your Pinterest board in style.


While researching these trends, we also noticed that decor at Indian weddings is moving towards minimalism. More pastel hues are incorporated into the ceremony, greenery, sustainability (another big focus), and fusion of unconventional prints. In the end, it totally depends on you as to how you want your ceremony décor. We hope this helps you plan the wedding of your dreams.
