Flower Decoration

Flower Decoration is such an integral part of the daily life in my Country and plays a big part in the decoration of a wedding venue! No wedding is compete without flowers don't you agree?


So now the big question...what kind of flowers would I want adorning my wedding venue? Do I want imported flowers? No I don't think so. I would want to go the traditional route and stick to these gorgeous colour/flower combinations below..

Aam ki patti (mango leaf), is used for most hindu religious ceremonies and is believed in Vastu Shastra that mango leaves absorb negativity and helps in keeping the environment pure.

Genda ka phool or the Marigold flower is also an important part of flower offerings made to Gods in Hinduism. Read more on the significance of Marigild flower here and here .

I love this arrangement of Marigold Garlands above and would want something close to this at my wedding...what do you think?

Another sweet smelling and pretty flower used extensively in Hindu Culture is the Mogra (Jasmine). Read more here.

How can a Hindu floral arrangement be complete without the sweet smelling Indian Gulab or the rose?

Hmm so that what I am thinking for the decoration...let me know what you think:)

A Colourful Dream

i'm thinking of keeping a bright and colourful colour palette for my wedding and just love these photos above by Karen Wise. check out more photographs from Priti's colourful wedding in india here.

i hope i'll be able to convince a tent walla to give me exactly this when time comes...still undecided on the dates (had a fight with my boyfriend) and so a bit gloomy but these pics have lifted my mood and it can only get better from here:)

now i have a question...to what extent are the husbands to be involved in this whole wedding planning? it takes two to marry...does is also take two to plan? or can i go on doing this on my own (ha)?

traditionally in india..the wedding ceremony and dinner are paid for by the bride's parents, so i would assume that it is the bride's side of the family that take all wedding decor related decisions. hmm.. yes i think thats how it works.
