Multiple Days of Events

The nuptial ceremony of an Indian wedding is held on the third day after a two-day celebration of exciting events, like the tilak, haldi, mehndi, and sangeet. Only close family and friends are invited. The majority of people will choose an outside ceremony to take advantage of the natural light, however, indoor venues with good lighting are also common.

A lot of Red

The colour red is auspicious. It is not surprising that it is the popular colour for Indian weddings, combined with flashes of gold. Red will be seen everywhere such as in the Saris, decorations, invitations, flowers. Sometimes the bride’s hair is dyed a bit red some time ahead of the wedding.

The biggest guest list

Indian weddings are large, very large! It’s the way it is. The celebrations will be large and extravagant. There is an added pressure on South Asians to not offend anyone by refusing to invite them, and many of the invited guests feel obliged to come for respect and honour.

Clothing Changes

Weddings for Indians are similar to a fashion show. There can be something different to wear for every event. The bride, bridesmaids, and groomsmen all wear saris and lehengas. The groom and groomsmen might wear a Sherwani which is a top and bottom while the groom is presented in a turban. The groom can change his outfits as often as the bride. However, the bridal party is given fewer options. The saris or lenghas (the skirt version), worn by each attendee, are as beautiful as the next. They have bright colours and stunning embellishments.
