Large Indian weddings — events that can cost six, sometimes seven, figures — are increasingly coveted by the area’s largest and more luxurious venues. Bollywood has inspired a hot trend for all types of weddings in 2015 and beyond.
So
what is this fixation upon Bollywood-style and other exotic weddings? First and foremost it is the opportunity to
do something different and daring. The
rituals, Indian music, vibrant shades of orange and red, beautiful saris and
the tradition of henna-painted hands, etc. add an element of spice to a
well-worn formula, a bit like ethnic food and music would to our daily
lives. Chicago Devon

Here are some style tips if you would like to add a cultural Indian influence to your wedding event
Style Tip 1
Using Metallics in your invitation adds unexpected sparkle, and sets the tone for your magical day.
Style Tip 2
Get creative with your centerpieces. Cultural weddings are amazingly colorful events. A floral elephant is a work of art that people will be talking about for months.
Style Tip 3
Use crystal and jeweled accents in your décor to instantly add glam to any room and transport your guests to a faraway place.
Style Tip 4
Pick a
colorful sari if you are comfortable wearing one, the colors are
limitless. If not, embellishments such
as a colored sash, or ruffles and flowers on your traditional wedding dress
count can really add an exciting element to your event.
Perhaps,
there is an underlying myth that these culturally rich marriages are more
stable because non-western cultures have superior family values. In any case Bollywood inspired weddings have
enormous crossover appeal into our western society, and it is easy to add an
element of rich culture to your wedding if you desire. The most important element to remember; a
Bollywood theme has one aim and objective, and that is fun! Find some great
entertainment and go out there and have fun with your culturally infused
ideas.
