From the oonjal to the kalyaanam, every single event that takes place between, before and after, is beautiful and heartwarming in its own way. Brahmin weddings in Tamil Nadu showcase a lot of innocent love, not just between the bride and the groom, but also between the groom and his family and the bride and his family. Even though the tradition of carrying the bride and the groom by their respective family members while they exchange garlands maybe a common tradition in several Indian customs, the Tamil Brahmins take it a step further to make sure it’s done perfect. The oonjal ceremony is an innocent portrayal of love between the couple as they’re coyly sitting on a swing and swinging away to glory as the entire family celebrates them. And then comes the tearjerker, the kalyaanam when the girl sits on her dads lap while the boy ties the holy thread around her neck.
The traditions in these weddings are beautiful, and what makes it even more beautiful is the wedding decorations. The oonjal or the swing can be beautified using flower decorations or drapes decorations, for what’s better than a pretty swing at a cute little wedding. Also, the wedding venues are mostly marriage halls, and Brahmin wedding demand for mandap decorations and wedding stage decorations. The reception is also mandatory, making the reception stage decoration also a very important factor.
What makes these weddings the best is the flower decor, as without these, Brahmin weddings, or rather any wedding would be a waste as there’s nothing more beautiful than nature to depict holy matrimony.
