It is true that weddings are a big burden as far as the hard work, stress, and expenditures are concerned. But at the end of the day, it is all worth it. It isn’t just about flaunting your social status. It is about creating photographs to frame for life, creating memories of a very special day of your life. It is about the Indian wedding traditions and rituals that you follow for the wedding related events. The discipline that is brought by following these rituals will make you ready for a married life, no matter how unconventional you choose your married life to be, you will need discipline to even follow your own rules.

The little things like the songs list for the wedding entry, the flower chaadar for bride, the little items for the rituals, are difficult to keep a track of. The best thing to do is to write down every action or event in separate pages with the ingredients or components below so that even if you forget, you can refer to the diary to check if you have arranged everything.

Just to help you out a little, we will suggest you some awesome flower chaadar ideas for the bride. The entry of the bride is a very important moment. All eyes are on her. All cameras are on her. She needs to feel beautiful and everything around her needs to be pretty too. The flower chaadar that her dear ones hold above her head gets a lot of attention, so do not keep it for the last moment. Use these ideas to come up with a really fitting flower chaadar for the perfect bride.

1. Marigold

People mostly use roses and white flowers for a flower chaadar and that is too mainstream. Use marigold instead. They are a little heavy, so make sure the strings are taut. If the bride is wearing anything reddish, yellow or orange, marigolds will create very bright and beautiful contrast.

1. White rose

If you must have roses, you can go for white roses. They are more elegant and will stand out in the mostly red background. The bride is likely to wear red. The carpet is probably red too. Even if it is other colours, white will stand out anyway. Go for half bloomed roses than fully bloomed ones. This way they will last longer and they look better too.

1. Tassles and Pompoms

A wedding is full of flowers anyway. So if the flower chaadar for bride does not have some, it won’t be a very bad idea. Tassles and pompoms hanging from the chaadar is even better than flowers. Choose bright colours of tassles.

To make them stand out, get a white or beige chaadar and hang many tassles from it. Another style could be, to go for a bright shade of chaadar and hang a contrasting single colour of tassles from borders.

1. Mesh

Most flower chaadars are put together by strings. They are either in straight lines or in crisscross patterns. But if you want to make your flower chaadar unique, try out thin iron meshwork to hold the flowers together in various shapes. Go for any kind of flower you want. Smaller flowers will help make intricate designs along the thin wires. Your flower chaadar will be uniquely beautiful and sturdy with this process.

1. Zardosi

Weddings call for bling. If you want a traditional wedding style in every little detail of the wedding, go for a traditional colour for the chaadar, with a lot of zardosi work on it. You have to be very careful with this one though. Assign someone to take care of it before use because zardosi work can start getting ruined if it is not kept safe.

1. Family Heirloom

Many families have the tradition to use the wedding chaadar of the ancestors. These are very well maintained, safely kept. Right before a wedding, they are pulled out. No matter how well it is kept, there is a chance of wear and tear. So, do not wait for the last moment. Take it out a few days prior to the wedding so that any damage to the threads can be repaired.

Use the same fabric and same colour of threads to repair them. Adorn the chaadar with small flowers and sequins, making sure the patches are covered. All this is in case there is damage at all. If not, all you need to take care of is it is free from the odour of being in a closet too long. Also, you need to put light flowers on it so that it does not tear. Maybe someday your daughter will need it.

1. Umbrella

Floral umbrellas are fun and a hassle-free solution for a flower chaadar. Make sure it is a huge umbrella. Most of them are red or pink but it doesn’t have to be.

You can use orange, yellow, purple, green, blue, any colour you want. Make sure that the flowers hanging from it or stuck on it are of a contrasting colour so that it is all bright.

1. String Lights

Use fairy lights on the chaadar to brighten things up. This is the best idea for a unique flower chaadar. You can even put the lights in a circle right at the centre of the chaadar so that when the bride walks under it, she looks like an angel with a halo.

1. Bandhni

If simplistic and traditional is your style, go for bandhni. This is the best way to uphold local art and craft. Use it at your wedding. This is quite a statement. It can have mirrors on it or you can put sequins. Simply stick them instead of stitching them on. It is time saving and good enough for the time it will be in use. The flowers once again should be of contrasting colours.

1. Pinwheels

If you want to go quirky and all postmodern, maybe a little western, hang pinwheel from the chaadar. As the bride enters, the pinwheels will rotate if there is enough open space to allow some air. To make it work, make sure the chaadar has long handles so that it is held higher to let the air get to it. Also, you don’t want the bride’s hair to get stuck in them.

1. Orchids

If you want to go all the way classy with the flower chaadar for Indian wedding, go for the rare orchid. Pick white and pink ones. Peach is a beautiful colour too. Avoid black because most Indians consider it a bad omen to have anything black at happy ceremonies. Whether you believe in it or not, just avoid them anyway. White and peach orchids are the best anyway. Purple is good too. Contrast it well with the bride’s wedding attire. If she is wearing pastels, go for the lilac orchids. If she is wearing pink or red, go for the white ones.

1. Multicoloured Roses

Thinking of multiple colours, one must come back to roses. You can use yellow, white, red, pink, and peach roses on the flower chaadar to make a perfectly rosy affair. It also represents every aspect of a partnership, friendship, peace, and romance.

1. Dahlias

If you want big flowers, go for dahlias. Also, if it is grown in your own terrace, that is a huge personal touch nobody will miss. Make sure the fabric is thick enough to bear the weight of the flowers though. You can go for some dahlias scattered around with smaller flowers covering the spaces, or leave it minimalistic.

1. Paper Lampshades

Paper lampshades surrounding little fairy lights is a very good idea for a floral chaadar Indian wedding. This is a little complicated so ask the professionals if they can pull it off. If they can, it will be amazing.

1. Dome Shaped

Most flower chaadars are either square or rectangular. If you can get a dome shaped framework and wrap flowers around it or hang flowers from it and put a chaadar on, it will look unique. This isn’t too difficult to pull off either if you have a readymade framework.

Nobody can deny how stressful it is to arrange the perfect Indian wedding dresses, the perfect jewellery and accessories, and getting the best makeup done. Choosing the wedding venue, decorations, deciding on the menu, inviting guests, everything is just too much for the small families of the current generation. These ideas for flower chaadar for Indian wedding will help you save some time and focus on other things.

1. Heart with Bride’s Name

This is sweet and simple. What is best is, this can be done by the groom himself. So when the bride flaunts her intricate mehndi design in which she has the groom’s name or initials hidden, the groom can sweetly show his artwork too. When people are busy finding the groom’s name in the bride’s hand, the groom can show the bride’s name on his hand written in a nice cursive or a sweet baby like handwriting inside a heart. This does not only once again help the groom steal the show with his sweetness, but also lets the bride feel special too. Everything about the bride has something to do with the groom. Let your bride know that her name is etched in indelible ink on your skin too.

1. Just Bride’s Name

If you do not want to go for the heart, for whatever reason, maybe you find it too juvenile or cliché, you can have just your wife’s name on your hand. You can simply get her name written on your finger, or the centre of the palm. You can have her name at the base of her palm. If you already have her name tattooed on your arm, you can sue the mehndi to replicate the same design on your other arm. But it won’t be visible during the wedding. That is even better. She will be surprised with the double dose of love when she sees you in person.

1. Mandala

If you want to go for some intricate detail but are afraid that your hand will look like your bride’s with full mehndi on, you can go for the centre only. A mandala design is perfect for the centre of your palm. Choose a solid bold design so that it looks good on a strong hand. If you want you may get them on either hands. You can also get one design on your hand and the other on your feet. Trust it, it won’t look odd. The mandala design is the perfect symbol of a wedding. If you are into Disney, or your wife to be is, you can get the Tangled or Frozen mandala design on your palm and only you both will know where it is from! And maybe the children around, if they get a good look at it. Your bride will love it.

1. Part of the Bride’s Mehndi Design

You both tried to coordinate every appearance of every beautiful wedding attire to look like each other’s better halves. You have matched the wedding reception tie nicely with the choli of the bride. You matched your wedding day turban with her lehenga border instead of your sherwani’s border. Why ruin the symmetry? The bride’s mehndi will definitely have a lot of intricate details. There will be many parts that can be lifted off for an individual design in itself. Pick the central part of the design or any conspicuous part, and make it the key element of your mehndi design. For this idea to be a success, you need to get the same mehndi artist or at least have the designs ready with your individual mehndi artists beforehand.

1. Wristband Design Broad One

If you are worried about not looking masculine enough, here is an idea. Shave off your entire arm hair. No, not being sarcastic, seriously! Shave off the hair from your arms and hands. Wear a broad band of mehndi tattoo on your wrist. This will make you look twice more manly than all the man hair and no designs. You need to pull it off well though. Fold your sherwani sleeve smartly and flaunt the design confidently. Make sure the design is broad and elaborate and covers your wrist to the middle of your hand. Also, the design elements should have some broad bands to make it look bold.

1. Head for Bald Ones

This is the sexiest mehndi idea for grooms. Many men shave their head and get it tattooed. Of course, it is not entirely by choice. Most men who do it, have already been going bald. It is better to shave off your entire head and flaunt that shiny orb instead of holding on to the remaining strands of hair that give away the baldness. By choice or not, if you have a full bald head, it is the best canvas for a mehndi design. There are way too many options for the placement of your mehndi. You can go for a full head coverage, or the back of the head, or the top centre, or just a side. You can also go for a borderline fence for the head. The options are never-ending. When you take off your turban, all eyes will be on you.

1. Forearm

The forearm is to flaunt. All those days of going to the gym should not be for nothing. You need to flaunt your forearm on your wedding day and after that. Fold up the sherwani sleeves and flex your muscles unassumingly whenever anybody wants a look at the mehndi design on your forearm. The design should be a little spaced out so that the cuts on your muscle are visible and so is the entire design when you have your wrist folded to flex.

1. Ganesh

The Ganesh symbol brings prosperity to the house and whatever occasion is at hand and in this case it is your wedding. Why leave the entire burden of bearing the good omens on the bride? If you don’t believe in them, maybe she doesn’t either. But here she is wearing all the symbols that bless a wedding. So it is time for you to do your bit. There are many symbols of the Ganesh. You can choose the intricate one, the semi simple one, or the totally simplistic outline. The semi simple one is a moderated choice. You should get it on your palm, on the back of your palm, or anywhere on your arm. It is good to get it on some place visible though.

1. Om

Get the Om sign done for the same reason you would get the Ganesh done. The Om sign offers more design options. You can have it in a circle with some designs outside, or just an elaborate Om sign. You can even get it done on your head. Matched with an Om locket, you are good to go.

1. Biceps

The bicep is a very good place to get a mehndi art done unless you already have both your biceps filled with tattoos. You can get the bicep mehndi done a day before the wedding so that everybody gets a good look at it during the Haldi. It will most probably be covered during the wedding. Your wife will be the first to look at it after you are married. And she will love it.

1. Texts on the palm or forearm

You can get entire texts written on your palm or on your forearm. Yes, the way women get tattoos on their sides or on their backs. You could have a shloka written if you have a favourite one. Or you could go for a lovely message for your bride. You can even get something funny but sweet written for her so that when people take a sneak peek at it, they will laugh or smile when they have figured out what is written. It will be cool, and sweet of you to show love to your bride even when you already have her.

1. Tribal art

This is the best type of mehndi or tattoo design for the wild child. You may already have tribal art tattoos. Go for a complementary design if it is in a visible area. If you have no tattoos, don’t sweat it. You can get a temporary one in the form of a mehndi. Get a design that signifies love and family and get it on both of your arms. Not the same design on both arms, get each half on either arm so that when you put your hands together, it completes the story. These were some groom mehndi design ideas that you just cannot go wrong with. Mehndi for groom can be really good looking if done right. So, choose a design now!

A Bengali wedding is a spectacle. If you have ever attended one, you must already know how colourful everything is. Bengalis are loud and always happy. The Bengali bride is all smiles and hardly coy anymore. But you must know that what you have witnessed, is only about one- third of the entire Bengali marriage rituals that are performed.

Elaborate Bengali Wedding Rituals

Bengali weddings are an elaborate affair because apart from the few Bengalis who choose to just get the registry done and exchange the garland and follow the sindoor ritual at a temple, Bengalis are all about following the rules perfectly. They believe anything going wrong during any of the rituals like Haldi Ceremony etc., would bring bad luck upon the new couple.

The Bengali ashirwad ceremony, for example, involves the elders blessing the bride and the groom. No matter how big the family, everybody blesses the bride and the groom while they are in their semi wedding attires.

Each ritual in the Bengali wedding is unique in itself. The pre-wedding rituals itself are as long as the wedding. They span days. Here are all the pre wedding rituals of a typical Bengali marriage, explained. The fun part is, nowadays a lot of them are customised to suit the convenience of the bride and the groom and their families.

The Pre Wedding Rituals

The wedding rituals for Bengalis start days before the wedding. There are numerous pre wedding rituals that are followed. Traditionally, these rituals existed because the bride and groom did not even know each other before their wedding. So the families had to come together to decide upon the terms of the wedding and get to know each others’ families. Though that reason is obsolete today for most Bengalis, the rituals stuck.

Paka dekha

Though there is no engagement as such in traditional Bengali weddings, it has become a trend to have an engagement ceremony nowadays. But the traditional way is the ‘Paka Dekha’ way. It literally translates to ‘final meet’. It is basically the official engagement.

It is the final meet that settles that this is it. It is an official declaration by the families promising to stay put on their decisions to get their daughter and son married to each other. It is also called Pati Potro by the Bengalis of Bangladeshi origin.

The families meet and there are delectable refreshments. The elders decide upon the terms of the wedding. Modern day Bengalis leave dowry out of the discussion but if people are to exchange gifts, they put their offers in words on this meet. Apart from that, the usual terms of the marriage depending on what the bride wants or the groom wants from their new families, are discussed on this day.

Since many Bengalis marry their own friends or partners nowadays, all these discussions are obsolete. The families get straight to discussions about the wedding date and the decorations and have some chat therein. It is all fun and games. The very tedious affair of the yesteryears has become a day of fun and frolic where there are refreshments, and even games played to break the ice between the two families.

Aiburo Bhaat

This is a bridal shower or groom shower in a way. It officially happens just a day before the wedding. The bride and the groom have their last lunch as a spinster and bachelor, at their respective homes. The meal is a grand feast with many items on the menu. A lot of the items on the menu is a must and the rest is what the family chooses to make according to the bride’s choice or groom’s choice.

Gifts are given to the bride and the groom by their own relatives. This day does not involve the family of the partner to be. It is all about spending that one last day with your own family before the responsibilities of another person and his or her family gets tied to your life.

Though traditionally Aiburo bhaat is supposed to be the lunch right before the wedding day, Bengalis are flexible enough to change that. There are a lot of arrangements to be done the day before the wedding a well as for the wedding day. All the closest family members and relatives are super busy. This is why the aiburo bhaat often takes place on a holiday close before the wedding, maybe even a week earlier.

Also, it is not necessarily hosted by the groom or bride’s own family. It can be hosted by any close relative, maybe a paternal aunt or a maternal aunt. These adjustments are all done to make things easier on the bride and groom’s families because they already have a lot going on.

The Aiburo bhaat ceremony is just about a grand feast and some gifts. So it is a day of fun. Though a lot of emotions are involved, especially if the bride and groom are to move to a different city or country after marriage. It is literally the last sure meal that the family gets to treat their child with. The elders bless the bride and groom for their pending nuptials with some gifts.

Birdhi Pujo

The father of the bride and groom, or any close male member in the absence of the father, performs a Pooja at their own home. Prayers are offered to the ancestors of the family, so that they would bless the wedding. Though the Bengali Ashirwad ceremony is what happens right during the wedding, there are numerous ceremonies where the blessings of the elders and ancestors are prayed for.

Sankha Porano

A close married female relative puts conch shell bangles and red coral bangles on the bride’s wrists on the wedding eve. The Sankha and Pola are to be worn by the bride for the rest of her married life. Of course, many Bengali women do not follow these traditions anymore after 10 days from the wedding, but many still do.

Jol Sowa

This is done on the wedding day but is still a pre wedding ritual. The mothers of the bride and groom, along with some more married women, go to a nearby pond or holy river to fetch water for the bride and groom to bathe in after the haldi ritual. This makes for precious wedding moments to be added to your wedding day.

Dodhi Mangal

The bride and groom are fed sweet curd, banana, sweets, and rice flakes or ‘cheere’ before the wedding. Traditionally this is the only meal the bride and groom get to have until their wedding is over. But again, there are enough cousins to sneak in a treat for the bride or groom while they get ready. Many ominous brides and grooms avoid it anyway because it is supposed to be bad luck.

Gaaye Holud

This is the haldi ceremony. The groom’s family takes the responsibility for it. Fresh turmeric is ground and mixed with mustard oil. It is applied on the groom and the close female family members starting with his mother. The formal wedding gifts for the bride, or ‘tottwo’, along with a whole Rui maach, yes there is the Bengali trademark, is sent in creatively wrapped trays to the bride’s house along with the leftover turmeric paste in a silver bowl.

It is not exactly just the leftovers, there is enough for the bride and her female family members. The bride is smeared in haldi and so is her mother and other female members. It is basically fun. After the haldi, both the bride and the groom are bathed in the water fetched from Jol sowa.

The wedding rituals follow. The pre-wedding rituals take all morning, and even extend into the afternoon if things are delayed by any family. After the whole pre-wedding deal is over, the wedding rituals begin.

The bor jatri and boron,  that is the grand arrival of the groom and the grand welcome by the bride’s family. This itself is an elaborate process and the wedding does not start until this boron is done, followed by the Bengali Ashirwad Ceremony.

The ashirwad process if long because every close family member of the bride blesses the groom with gifts or cash, one by one, and feeds him a bit of sweet. The bride too is blessed with expensive gifts from the groom’s family members. This happens simultaneously. The boron and the ashirwad often take place at the bride’s house before they set out to the wedding venue for the wedding.

These are just the pre wedding rituals. So, you can imagine how elaborate the Bengali marriage rituals are. The wedding is as elaborate as the pre wedding rituals, with the Ashirwad ceremony being the bridge between the two followed by some post wedding rituals as well.

Goa is on the bucket list of every friends group. The people who hardly get permission for night outs have a Goa trip with friends on their bucket list. The people who have travelled all over Asia have a Goa trip on their bucket list. You may or may not have already checked that off. But imagine a beach wedding in Goa. With all the shacks, the booze, a Christian style wedding, or any style of wedding in a dainty church. It is all too perfect!

How will it even work!

If you are worried about getting all the guests you mean to invite for your wedding, stop right there. A Goa wedding is to be attended by close friends and family. You invite only the closest friends, with whom you had been planning a Goa trip forever, or with whom you mean to travel the world. You get your family and some close relatives and set out for a once in a lifetime opportunity to have a wedding in Goa. You can go back to your city and invite the others for a unique wedding reception.

Selecting the Best Venue

Since you are in a different city, you will need a lot of assistance from the city’s event organisers. You can take your makeup artist and hairstylist along with you if you just won’t accept anybody else. But you cannot sponsor an entire team of wedding planners for the same. Even if you can, it does not make sense because you won’t need to.

Goa has been a wedding destination for quite a while now. The city knows how to take care of its foreign vacation tourists and the wedding tours alike. But you do need to arrange everything, including the venue before you reach. Every season is peak season in Goa. Do not expect to just end up there and find 10 rooms and a hall ready for you to get married in if you haven’t booked one.

Factors to Consider

There are many great hotels and resorts in Goa which are suitable for a grand and unique wedding ceremony. But you might not like them all alike. Find out about them to select the one that best suits your needs.

Here are some factors you must keep in mind while looking for the right venue for your Goa destination wedding.

1. The Budget

The budget is very important. You cannot forget you have a reception to host back home. But you also need to make sure you enjoy to the fullest and do everything you want to do on your dream destination wedding. This is why you need to settle on a budget which is generous to begin with but isn’t too much for your bank balance.

1. The Wedding

You need a minister to ordain your wedding, and a church if that’s where you want to get married. If you are not going for a Christian style wedding, you need to look for a local pandit and every arrangement for the wedding. The decorations and everything is there to be taken care of as well. This is why you will need a wedding planner. You can work your way around things in your own city. But when you are on a destination wedding, you need to book a professional wedding planning agency along with the hotel bookings.

1. Venue

You need to book a venue that will provide you with a wedding hall, all the arrangements, and all amenities you want to avail for your guests. You need to make sure that the venue is impressive but also suits your budget. You also need to ensure that the location of the venue is convenient. It should be very close to the beach if you want a beach wedding. It should be close to the airport and main road if you invited a lot of people.

1. Cuisine

It is the norm that on a destination wedding, you serve the cuisine of the destination. You can go for an all Goan cuisine or mix and match it with some Goan dishes and some dishes from your home city. That way, both, people who like to taste different cuisines and people who like to stick to their usual fancy dishes, will be satisfied.

1. Caterers

Sometimes the planners do not have in house caterers. They sign deals with individual caterers. You need to find out if the event planners have their own caterers. It is best that way because the responsibility factor will be higher on the planners if it is their own caterers. Also, hiring a separate team of caterers is costlier than hiring a wedding planning agency that comes with catering services.

1. Equipment

The event planners should be equipped with every equipment you need for the wedding. But you need to think about the things you’ll need and create a list of equipments. You also have to make sure that all the equipments are tested and brought to the location the night before the wedding.

1. Transportation and Accommodation

You will need to arrange for transportation for the guests if the wedding venue is at a distance from the hotel you booked rooms in. You need to book rooms for your guests in advance so that you don’t have to pay surged prices. You need to arrange for transportation if a guest is in need or if anybody is reaching Goa on the very day of the wedding.

1. Alcohol

There are permits to deal with and orders to be placed. Make sure there’s enough booze for everybody. Hire a mixologist who will make dope cocktails and mocktails for everybody. After all, it is a destination wedding in Goa. It has to feel like one.

1. Hospitality

Apart from the transport and accommodation, which is definitely the responsibility of the host, you also need to take care of every little matter where your hospitality counts. It is a different city after all. A guest who is feeling sick for some reason cannot go home. You need to have some trusted members of the family for the same. You need to take care of the bride and groom and ensure they have fun.

You can be a close friend or family of the bride or groom. This destination wedding demands two things. Firstly, a happy newly wedded couple. Secondly, happy satisfied guests. Send hangover kits and breakfast to the guest rooms the morning after. Arrange for a cab for those who are leaving the next day. These gestures count.

A wedding signifies the sacred bond two people are to share for a lifetime. But that does not mean there can be no room for some healthy competition. In fact, these healthy contests set the tone for a marriage where two best friends keep challenging each other. So, if the bride is making her entry on horseback, get the groom to enter on an elephant. That was just an example. You can do much better than that with your groom entry ideas. In fact, here is a complete list of wedding ideas for groom entry.

Just make sure, whatever you do, if it is elaborate, plan it right. If you think you don’t have the time or budget to pull it off with ace, abort mission and think of something more realistic. However, if you think you can afford to arrange for the most stunning Indian bridegroom entry idea, don’t shy away. Give it your best shot. Also, make sure there is a professional photographer and videographer with the unique wedding photography ideas to capture the grand moment so that you can flaunt it for a lifetime.

Fantastic Indian Groom Entry Ideas

Check out these jaw dropping Groom Entry Ideas and choose the one that suits your style the best.

1. Chopper

Yes, get a chopper to drop you off at the wedding. This idea is not as far fetched as it apparently looks like. Of course it is jaw dropping, but it is not impossible. Take a chopper on rent. You could pull in some favours from anybody related to choppers in any way, to make sure you get a chopper for an hour on your wedding day. Have the chopper drop you off in style. Train your body to hang on to a rope with ease. Nothing can beat this wedding entry and it does not cost a fortune irrespective of what preconceived notions you might have. The only prerequisite factor is, there has to be enough open space to pull this off.

1. Bike

What’s so special about riding a bike? You did that every day to pick your girlfriend up. Doesn’t the wedding deserve something more? Well, it is not a regular bike ride. Ride in style with your entire squad on bikes. Maybe surprise your bride with a new Harley you were planning on buying. Even if it is your old bike, you will amaze everybody as you enter in slow motion with all your guys following you. If you have some female biker friends, have them right beside you to make your girlfriend jealous for the last time. Here’s a secret, she will only be proud and happy inside while she shows fake jealousy.

1. Tractor

If you are getting married in a village, maybe in a farmhouse, have a tractor decked up for your wedding. If you are feeling more ambitious, ride it yourself. Take tractor driving lessons in secret at least for a month before the D day. You could also chill and sit at the back with panache.

1. Live band

Saw the Maroon 5 Sugar video? Do something like that. Secretly hire a rising band or a popular one if money is no matter. Make them play the best romantic yet peppy numbers while you enter along with them. It would be best to hire your bride’s favourite band if you can. You could also make a budding band play your bride’s favourite dance number. She will have a tough time controlling her feet from getting on with the beat.

1. Tanga

If your bride is entering on horseback, you enter on a tanga. Get a golden Royal chariot and have two handsome horses ride you into your wedding. Here’s a tip. If you can befriend the horses beforehand, you can flaunt you gentle side by cuddling the horses right after having entered like an alpha. The reaction of the horses will be worth capturing. Moreover, if your bride is a wild child, she will fall in love with you all over again. Unlike in other vehicle entry ideas, don’t try to ride this one on your own. Sit back like royalty.

1. Professional dancer

Just like a live band, you could hire a professional dancer to enter with you. Randomly dancing your way into your own wedding is so not stylish. But if you have practised some real moves in secret, with a popular celebrity dancer, you could totally own the day! Enter in style with a popular dancer and a group of dancer friends right behind you. Redefine perfection.

1. Segway

You might have already thought about this one. If you haven’t, maybe you now have a winner. The segway is still cool and you should make use of it before the trend becomes a cliché. Take some segway riding lessons well in time because it is not as easy as it looks. You cannot falter, and you will be in elaborate Indian groom wear. Keeping all that in mind rehearse well and make it perfect. You can team this up with more friends on segways. Don’t smile, don’t wave. Just enter with your head held high and maybe some cool shades, even if it is way past daytime. You will look cool. Don’t forget to come out of character and go back to being the smiling happy Indian groom the moment the entry is over.

1. Elephant

You can go for the classic horseback as well but to make it something different, yet keep it traditional, go for an elephant with a huge traditional red umbrella covering you.

To add to the effects, have your friends clear the way on bikes. If that is too much for the elephant to take, have them walk on feet making way with colour bombs so that your pathway into the wedding looks as colourful as your married life is going to be.

1. Cold pyro

Wherever you use the colour bombs during the day use cold pyro at night. You can even go for pyro in the daytime. Though it won’t stand out. Stick to cold pyro for the wedding venue because there will be a lot of fabrics in the decors and a lot of people waiting on you and the bride. So, stay safe. You can always back the cold pyro with some actual fireworks going on at a distance. This will add to the background effects and set the mood for a big fat Indian wedding. The best thing about cold pyro is that you can combine it with any of the other entry ideas. You can have cold pyro lead an elephant’s way if it can be trained to do so. You can have cold pyro on a tractor, or while you are on your segway. All you need is some dedicated and well organised friends.

1. The ambush

This, if you can pull off, will be the best of all groom entry ideas for your wedding. You can club this one with any other idea, like the pyro. You could have a group of dancers or a band perform at the main entrance while you sneak in from a smartly designed back entrance. While everybody will be distracted looking the other way, trying to find the groom, enter and sit in your royal seat, waiting for someone to figure out you’re already there.

This one is tricky though. Many people may not fall for the bait, ruining your sneaky entry. People could take too long to realise you’re there. It might strike panic. What you need to pull this one off successfully is at least 20 volunteers who you can discuss the idea with, without them spilling it out. They should assist the sneaky entry, and crowd around you so that nobody sees you enter. If need be, they could bring people’s attention to the groom when they are looking in the wrong direction for too long.

These were some groom entry ideas for the Indian bridegroom. It is not easy for an Indian wedding groom to pull off an entry that is at par with the ideas of Indian bridal entry. But with these wedding ideas for groom, you can show everybody that a modern Indian wedding is just as much about the groom as it is about the bride.

Revolutionize the New Concept

The concept of bride entry is relatively new. It has been going on for just about a few years now. Of course, it might have started long back but it is only getting popular now. So, you might not have a lot of examples at hand. But that is good. Why? That is because you get to BE the example! Set the best example for the most dhamaakedaar wedding entry by choosing the best of all bridal entry ideas for your wedding. Own the day and own everybody with your stunning entry.

Create an Impact

You know you do want to turn heads, but how? The same dance with your pals while entering has become too cliché already. And well, why dance at your own bridal entry? Your bride entry ideas should be something that makes other people’s hearts dance and the groom’s heart skip a beat. Of course, you can dance and enter all you want if you know that is your thing. You can own the stage and the pathway to the stage. Dance away. But this list is going to give some new bridal entry ideas which will help you hypnotize everybody.

A Fresh take on Bride Entry Ideas

The bride entry ideas suggested here are something that hasn’t been done too often. So, let the older, more conventional adults take their time to get used to the entire concept of wedding entry. Meanwhile, awe everybody else who think the bridal entry is cliché too, with these bridal entry ideas so that they know they haven’t yet seen it all.

Cinderella

You can go for a royal blue wedding dress, of course, the Indian way. A beautiful blue lehenga or elaborate designer saree will be a fresh spectacle. It will be better than the usual red. And of course, you must have your pumpkin chariot. Hire people to get you a chariot resembling Cinderella’s. Have your coachmen and horses just the way it is supposed to be.This will mark the beginning of a dream wedding. As if that weren’t enough, you don’t even have to leave the moment the clock strikes 12! This day is yours, and so is the next.

Mughal Chariot

If you want to keep it more Indian go for the rich history. Get yourself a beautiful chariot or palki with Mughal artwork all over it. Get your coachmen dress up like Mughals. Enter into a beautiful wedding and make it royal like the moment you enter. 
You can dress to fit the theme of your entry or you could leave the theme just at the entrance and carry on with the rest of the wedding as you like. But a royal entry itself rubs its richness off on the rest of the day, wherever you go. First impressions, eh?

Horseback

Why should boys have all the fun? Horseback entry is not just for the groom. Horses are beautiful and they deserve to have someone even more stunning ride on their back. This one beats all kinds of stereotypes without saying a word. But you don’t have to think about that. Not everything has to be about feminism. Why you will ride the horse is because you are a boss and horses are adorable.

Get Accompanied by a Pet

Not many people have their horses. If you do, the last idea is pretty much this idea. But for everyone else, who loves their pet, which is not a horse, this one is for you. Have your pet, be it a dog or a cat, or any animal that can walk on land, dressed up and walk with you with a sign saying “Best man” or “Bridesmaid” or “I’m still number 1”. That will show everybody what your priorities are. Well, of course, the marriage, but first, your best friend for life! Walk into your new life with the most trusted old friend. Need we say more?

Smoke Bombs

This one will set the mood right for a bright daytime wedding. Have colourful smoke bombs pave your way into your wedding. Have your friends lined up on either sides and release the bombs as you keep walking through. The colourful smoke will create a perfect canopy for you to walk under. You need to be smart keeping enough distance so that the colours don’t get on your bridal dress though. So you could have someone accompany you with a beautiful umbrella. That not only saves your dress and makeup but also adds to the effect of the boss lady.

Fireworks

If the wedding is after sunset, the colour bombs won’t do the trick. So it is the same idea with firecrackers. It will light up your way into your new life and it will light a kindle in the groom’s heart as he watches your face dazzling in the light of the golden fireworks that your friends hold out for you. This is simple, hassle-free idea that will make all the difference. Everybody participating and assisting in this entry must be careful though. Have a safe wedding entry.

Auto Rickshaw

Nothing screams Bollywood like a decked up auto rickshaw. With some practice, you can ride it yourself! Wear a funky pair of shades and ride into your own wedding and that will be the perfect entry for the ultimate bride. If you don’t want to ride it, cool enough, have a dear close friend give you a ride while you sit at the back with two best pals who make all the noise for you. They could be carrying colour bombs or fireworks too to add to the effect.

Motorbike Entry

This is rad. Once again, you could ride it, or have your best friend ride it for you. Tough choice to have to pick just one best friend or sibling? Have one of your parents ride you. Don’t forget to wear your swag. Make it a slow entry so that everybody has the time to gawk at you and the photographers have the chance to capture the brilliant moment. Also, of course so that you don’t crash into your own wedding decorations.

With all the Little Ones

Have your little nieces and nephews and the toddlers of your friends and relatives all lined up around you while you enter. This will be the most endearing spectacle of the wedding. The groom will fall in love with you once again. This brings out the feminine side in you like nothing else could. Whether you are thinking about parenthood or not, as a couple, you will definitely be seen as endearing people. Of course, depending on how you choose to enter and laugh, this could as well bring out the child within you. This will remind your new family to love you like their own child.

Balloons and Bubbles

Talking about inner child, have helium balloons launched as you enter and line up friends to make soap bubbles that you wade through. This is fun and simple and cost effective too. You know you want to have fun and this kind of an entry will again remind everybody to pamper you like you deserve to be. So, these were some unique bride entry ideas that are more than just dancing all the way in. You can dance too if you want or have people dance for you. The point is, your wedding entry must make people go ‘Wow!’ These bridal entry ideas right here will surely do the trick for you. Plan it ahead and have the most reliable friends assist you with the execution of the plan. If the bride entry is a hit, the wedding will be a hit.

You need to remember every little detail you could miss out on your own appearance. One mistake many brides make is to ignore arm jewellery despite wearing a short-sleeved blouse. If you are wearing short sleeves, please do not ignore the idea of bridal armlets. If you don’t like the discomfort which you might feel from a jewellery on your arm, go for a heavily embroidered long-sleeved blouse. But, if you are all about jewellery, try the following Baajubandh designs.

• The Classic Baajubandh

Baajubandh is a typical Indian bridal jewellery. The arm looks beautiful in it. It helps the arms look adorned instead of so empty. If you want more attention focused on your arm, adorn it with a royal or classic style from the Baajubandh designs. Check out the historic Bollywood movies to know what it actually looks like.

• Traditional Temple Jewellery

The classic gold armlets with leaves and floral designs may look boring to some but the ones who know the value of temple jewellery will find it rich and elegant. Temple jewellery is more popular with South Indian brides. This kind of armlet is as traditional as it gets.

• Marathi Mulgi

The Marathi Baajubandh can be made of solid gold or of any other precious or semi-precious metal. They are colourful and represent the vigour of the Marathi blood. These colourful armlets will complement your wedding attire.

• Shine Bright like Diamonds

If you want to flaunt your riches, go for diamond jewellery and do not forget the diamond armlet. Wear it on just one arm though. It would look ridiculous on both arms.

• Kundan

You can never go wrong with Kundan. The colourful stones on the gold base are ideal for any occasion and any kind of wedding. Whatever the colour of your blouse may be, Kundan armlet will look good with it. If you are going for Kundan, make sure the armlet is on the wider side. You want to flaunt some nice stones on it. Otherwise, what is the purpose of wearing Kundan even!

• U shaped Armlet

Go for an open end one if you don’t want to tie it around. If you want something you can wear and take off yourself, go for this type. If you are conscious of fatty arms, go for this type because the slender look of the armlet will make your arm look slender. Do not tighten it too much though, that again will make you look fatter. Let the armlet rest on your skin just tight enough to not start coming loose.

• Peacock or Elephant Designs

When we think about the traditional armlet, the snake design pops to our mind, but that isn’t quite ideal for a wedding. Elephant and peacock designs, on the other hand, have always been a good sign, a welcome design. If you like animal designs on jewellery, go for it. Some people even consider this a lucky charm. A peacock feather shaped armlet is also just as appreciated.

• Bangles

The bangle styled bridal armlet is apparently easy to wear because you just slide it up like bangles, only, all the way up to your upper arm.

• Colour Riches

If you do not want to invest a lot of money in gold or diamond, go for a simpler material. Do not worry about it looking cheap. A decent material is enough, as long as the jewellery is rich in colours. The colours can range from yellow to green to shades of pink. You can use any colour stones or print on your armlet. This kind of armlet is quite popular among South Indian bridal jewellery.

• Royal Silver

Gold is too mainstream. Some people don’t even like the yellow colour. But silver never fails. Silver has its own sheen and even diamond cannot give that exact colour. Go for a silver armlet if you want to look absolutely stunning. There are many options. The simplest chain of thread design can be worn on both the arms. The wider design needs to be worn on a single arm. The semi-loop design is one such elaborate design that is enough in a singular piece.

• Tribal Designs

Be it the intricate spiral design or chunky ones, the tribal designs look good on your arms in any material and thickness. Tribal armlets are precious and their value keeps increasing with every passing year. The tribal designs are cool and you can flaunt the design happily.

• All Stones

With this one, your friends will call you Thanos but they won’t mean it, of course. If you love gemstones and ornate designs go for an armlet with intricate patterns like in a tiara, studded with colourful little stones.

• Chunky Centrepiece

Get a broad armlet with a chunky centrepiece in whichever stone or colour you like. Emerald, ruby, turquoise, sapphire, the list is endless. You can go for diamond as well but diamonds look better on an armlet in a cluster of smaller stones.

• Custom Made

Get your own creative ideas for your wedding armlet. This can become a family heirloom. It is so personalised, there will not be a single another piece identical to it. This will represent your uniqueness and the originality of the couple.

These bridal armlet design ideas will help you get some knowledge about the type of armlets available. You are not obligated to choose from just this list of course. This is a list of common beautiful designs. You can make your own design or combine two of these ideas to make a new one of your own. Whatever you do, do not let your arms go bare on your wedding day.

Men prefer to western Nehru jacket today than ever before and let us tell you it is a fashion statement which adds a distinct demeanour to your overall look. Opt for any kind of design in a Nehru jacket whether plain or printed, there are no constraints.
