Indian Wedding Theme
For those looking for splashes of colours and Bollywood festivities, an Indian wedding theme may be right up your alley. Indian weddings are the epitome of glam where the bride is dressed in the finest saree, donned with haldi (herbal product) and decked with gold. The groom steps out in a sherwani, worn over a kurta. In a typical Indian wedding, tying the Thali (gold necklace) is the highlight of the evening, where the groom ties a thali around his bride’s neck as a symbolic act of the couple’s eternal ties. Soon after, the newlyweds performs a ritual known as Sapta Padi, where they circle a sacred ceremonial fire seven times – each time promising to love one another, to embrace each other’s families like their own, to go through thick and thin together, to care for their offsprings, to cherish each other, to support each other’s goals and to remain lifelong friends. Guests will then be invited to celebrate the union with a massive feast of authentic Indian food and loads of dancing!
