Tacky invitations

Your invite can have movie posters on them or a picture of the groom riding a horse. Make the invitation out of the box and add a lot of glitz to the invitation. You can also make quirky videos inspired by any famous bollywood movie.

Host a sangeet or sagai function

Since it will be a cultural wedding, do not forget to add some real authentic Indian style functions like a sangeet where friends amd family come together to dance. It will be a perfect time for you to show off your freshly learnt Bollywood dance moves on the latest groovy tunes. You can also hold a Mehendi function where the bride and her friends get their hands painted with henna. Henna painted hands can be a beautiful accessory to your wedding attire with beautiful intricate designs woven into your hand to decorate them. There is also a function called sagai which is basically a ring exchange ceremony where the to be couple gathers as a pre requisite and make each other wear their engagement rings.

The perfect decor

The decoration is the most important thing that will define how you well you are able to pull off the Bollywood theme for your wedding. As you know, you need to make your wedding decor colourful, focusing on the colour red. You can use elephant motifs. Make sure you have a grand and shiny centrepiece. Use Crystal and jeweled accents and make your venue glamourous. You can also have a centre stage that has a spot light where the bride and groom can be surrounded by opulence and grandeur. Pay attention to the details. Use embroidery and glitter on the clothes you use for decorations. Use bold colours and play with red, pink royal blue, green, while embellishing them with bright gold and silver. The drapes and cushions need to have that flash and gloss. Also, have a bollywood inspired menu with spicy food that reminds your guests of the spice of Bollywood.

Perfect outfits

Everyone plays the role of a Bollywood movie star in the wedding. You can pick a theme like the 80s or 90s for the guests so that they also have a chance to dress up a bit. But the bride and groom need to have fabulous designer outfits. Wear heavy lehengas or simple sarees with delicate work on them. Find your perfect drape of sarees and choose the most suitable fabric for your clothes. Wear appropriate jewellery, preferably gold like any heroine in a movie. The groom can wear a Kurta pyjama with details of gold or silver and come riding on a horse, to marry his wife, bollywood style.
