Flower garlands hold a place of utmost importance in Indian weddings, used as they are as the varmala in the garland exchanging ceremony to symbolize the acceptance of the marrying couple as each other’s partners in their new phase of life. Apart from the ritualistic and cultural significance, they also contribute heavily to traditional wedding decor. From the mandap stage to the entrance decoration, strings of bridal blooms like roses, jasmine, marigold and lotus are a fairly common sight.
This bold adaptation of traditional marriage decoration in the form of a photo booth relies on sequins, ornate frames and marigold flowers that adorn both the backdrop as well as the bicycle placed in front of it.
Shaded by the canopy made of red and yellow drapes, this conventional mandap decoration utilizes plantain leaves used as pillars at the four corners, wrapped with marigold garlands, more of which are used to outline the setup and as a mesh on top.
The vibrant-looking entrance adorned with red and orange drapes and long marigold festoons cascading downwards and arranged in curlicues provides a beautiful contrast to the neutral hall interior and rustic wedding decoration.
A refreshing twist to the above decor, the addition of blue drapes in dual tones gives soothing vibes. With bells and strings of marigolds, the decor is kept light yet sprightly enough to maintain the wedding spirit.
The vivacious contrast of the bunch of traditional florals strung together in this simple arrangement at the end of the staircase is bound to capture attention.
Basic flower decoration with garlands of lush yellow and orange marigolds entwined around the frame, along with wreath-like adornments suffices to adorn this wedding hall entrance.
In traditional Indian wedding colors like yellow, orange and red, the combination of flowers and drapes can be used in tons of ways to add a pop of exuberance to the venue.
The mandap stage backdrop and canopy are done beautifully with white marigold and lotus flowers that look suave and elegant. The complementary pew decoration comprises multicolored marigolds spilling out of earthen pots filled in with leaves.
This checkered backdrop makes use of florals in lovely crimson and off white on the sides and strings of floral garlands in the middle, adorned with a silhouette of Lord Ganesha.
