When there is a wedding in your house, the wedding isn’t just confined to the couple. Your entire family and close friends get involved in planning the wedding, which gives Indian weddings the lovely traditional charm that they have. The entire house is decked up in lights and florals and the entire neighborhood can recognize the family that is having a wedding just by looking at the house!
Now whether you are having any wedding or pre-wedding ceremonies at your house itself or not, your home deserves a makeover! Home weddings have especially been popular since we have grown up seeing them in so many Bollywood movies. From the vibrant roses and lilies arrangements around the house in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge to Kalki’s home in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani decked up in gorgeous exotic carnations.
Have a look at some amazing ideas to decorate your home during this auspicious time of your life!
Drape It Up
No matter how many times it is mentioned, you cannot understate the beauty of drapes. Drapes are a quintessential element that can be used in so many different ways around the house. You can use draperies around pillars or stairs. Give your terrace a complete finishing look with some burlap drapes. Drapes can also be styled in multiple ways, such as for the dining table.
Drapes also come in a variety of materials, so you can pick the material as well as the pattern and color according to the theme. You can also add small accent pieces to the drapes to lighten them up. Tiny colorful umbrellas or tiny mirrored discs look surreal paired with some drapes. Just be sure to not keep any lighting around the draperies because it is very easy for them to catch fire.
Drapes are a cheap décor element, and you can get rental draperies for amazing prices if you purchase them in bulk!
Sasural Genda Phool
Marigolds are an important décor element that is popularly seen in so many weddings. You will also spot them in many South Indian weddings since they are considered auspicious in their culture. They have a religious significance, more than an element of beautification.
You can deck up the entire house in different marigold arrangements, whether it is strings of marigold flowers or décor with only the petals involved. This décor style is captivating and you can’t ever have enough of it! These are lovely outdoor wedding decoration elements.
Lights and Camera
One of the most important parts of any wedding function is the photographs. Millennial couples tend to go out of their way to get amazing Instagram worthy snaps and the background for the portraits matters as well. For some amazing clicks, you need great lighting as well.
