The haldi ceremony, usually held on both the bride’s as well as the groom’s side, is an essential part of the gearing up process for the nuptials. As the couple attains their wedding glow to take on the spotlight among hundreds of celebrants on the big day, there is a special joy buzzing in the air that resonates with the participants in this fun-filled occasion. The symbolic color of this day is yellow, an exceedingly common sight from the clothes to the venue decoration, depicting the essence of the traditionally invaluable and multipurpose haldi or turmeric. But it also encapsulates the spirit of exuberance and cheer that accompanies this glamming-up ceremony. We’ve sorted out five awesome ideas to light up your wedding decoration for this event.
Drapes Galore
Never underestimate the power of well-coordinated drapes decoration to transform the look of your venue. Work that monochrome magic in a single vibrant hue or pair up contrasting colors for the seating.
Marigold Shower
As we are largely sticking to the yellow-orange color palette to keep up with the essence of the haldi ceremony, what is better than the traditional bridal blooms available in these hues? Budget-friendly, lush marigolds can be arranged around the venue in rangoli patterns, hung up on trees or woven into a floral tapestry for backdrop decoration or to deck up the seating area. This sunshine flower decoration is also liberally employed in photo booths and swings to get them party-ready.
Color Blocking
This can be done in various ways, from the basic drapes decoration to dupattas and kites. The idea is to create brilliant contrasts for backdrops that will easily make head turns. Florals may also be used to aid to this simple but effective way of organising the pre-wedding décor and creating a fun ambiance.
Fiery Prints
Mandalas, paisley, exotic prints on drapes are some of the options you have to add a layer of sophistication and contribute to the texture.
Shine Ya Light
Artificial electric lighting fixtures are an easy way to illuminate the venue. But keeping with the ethnic spirit, you can also go for funkier avatars of traditional diyas and lamps placed in brightly painted containers or adorned with mirror work, tinted glass, flowers, threads, etc.
