Mehendi is a vital milestone for any bride-to-be on her journey into a new phase of her life. The event is entrenched in cultural sentiment as it celebrates the community feeling of the females of the society and adorns her with henna for the day she ties the knot. The day is usually envisaged as rainbow-painted with wedding decoration that mimes the Indian woman’s spirit. Below are listed some key aspects of wedding décor for you to bring this day to life to the best of your ability.
Color-
Throw some color into your mehendi party, combined with comfort in the form of these soft pillows with patchwork, embroidery and mirror work. You can scatter these around the seating area for some ethnic vibrancy to enliven the occasion.
Kites, mandalas, tassels, dreamcatchers- take your pick while setting up dainty and eclectic decorations that reflect your personal tastes and also add an element of fun to the gathering.
Shimmer-
What’s a desi wedding without some bling, right? The quickest fix to a dull setting is an array of sparkly streamers hanging down from the ceiling of your venue or even as part of the photo booth decoration.
Florals-
Now that we’re talking flowers, the one trend blossoming in full force is the floral wreaths. From stage backdrops and photo booths to the mandatory bride’s seat at the mehendi or haldi, these perfumed ring delights are sometimes all you need. Be it a full-fledged party or a lowkey gathering, such flower decoration fits any kind of event and style of décor. You can opt for the classic roses and marigolds or spice it up with orchids, daisies and lilies. Lush green foliage is also as good an option as its more colorful cousins.
Lights-
From fluorescent paper lamps and elegant Chinese lanterns to ornately engraved lanterns, the choices are many to dissuade you from going for ordinary, electric light fixtures in favor of these riveting traditional choices. Flaunt the richness of your culture by teaming up diyas, candles and oil lamps with quirky adornments like painted earthenware, tinted glass jars, etc.
Since it is quite apparent here that the only limit is your imagination, and there is no dearth of inspiration to be found online, do not shy away from ditching the customary marriage decoration to enjoy the kaleidoscopic vistas provided by these budget-friendly and peppy embellishments.
