Wondering how to make your intimate wedding special in this low headcount scenario? Or what theme of the wedding will fulfil your desirable dreamy wedding? We know your wedding days are the most important days of your life — the ones you’ll carry along all your life. And to make it special you want something out of the box.
Need for Indian wedding themes
Why not knock on the door of a theme wedding? Theme weddings, for a few years now, have become a prevalent and likeable concept amongst couples. It gives you a unique wedding story with attires, decors, music, food, and everything in tandem.
Imagine how perfect it would be to correlate your resplendent wedding day attire with purple flowers along with a delightful cuisine for a Royal Wedding Theme.
Likewise, there are a multitude of options that you can go with if you are planning your wedding associated with a theme — helping vendors to pilot their arrangements according to the theme. And to help you out finding one, take a look at some of the most popular and imaginative themes for your wedding.
1. Royal Indian Wedding Theme
If you were looking for a grandiose and majestic wedding theme, then this one’s for you. The aura for such a wedding will endeavour you to admire the settings and arrangements for life.
For a Royal Theme wedding, there could be only one vision in mind — majestic palaces. You can scour for heritage properties, hotel resorts, or a particular destination wedding palace to fulfil the dream of a larger-than-life wedding ceremony.
You can even, with the help of wedding planners, go for grand entries and big announcements to walk down the carpet like a would-be Prince and Princess.
Give special attention to your attire adding a spark of royalness to it. Brides can go for shimmering embroidered lehengas coupled with diamond jewellery. And Grooms can cloak with royal bright colours incorporated with crochets and bead collars.
Most importantly, do not miss the occasion for a grand cuisine for a grandiose wedding. Ask your caterers to select apt items according to the royal theme for which one would savour and utter just one word — scrumptious!
2. Green Indian Wedding Theme
With increasing environmental concerns, couples these days are pivoting their attention to more eco-friendly concepts for their nuptials. Imagine your pavilion adorned by lush green and you accepting your vows in the sheer freshness of nature and love.
This kind of wedding will even work for a minimal budget, with no need for extra resources that later goes into wastage. You can even cut off the costs by using earthen lamps, candles, oil lanterns, and reflectors & glass reflectors to illuminate the environment.
The attire for such a wedding can also be minimal, toning down to simple single colour sarees, dupattas, and stoles. This would be a perfect synchronisation with the simplistic theme of a simplistic idea of a wedding.
You can ask caterers to prepare a cuisine that is purely unpretentious in visuals as well as taste. So, that the left-outs can be loitered for the domestic animals or any biodegradable solution.
3. Beach Wedding Theme
Do not want a hefty and bulky aura for your wedding? Plan a pure destination wedding contoured around the oceans, sands and beaches. This is one concept of theme wedding couples are liking these days — extreme enjoyment is the reason. Imagine basking outside a pre-booked beach resort with colourful loose attires and umbrellas and scarves and hats. Your guests will never forget the visual treats of your wedding pavilion resting on the sand.
At this kind of wedding, you will not have to carry bulky dresses. Just be in a summery and floral look with minimal shimmering. Pair up light sea blue, dusky clouds, and set sun colours for the wedding day that goes in tandem with the theme of the wedding.
Enjoy the beachside cuisines and cocktails to get everyone drenched in the oceanic mood. Not to mention, the delightful seafood on the table will make everyone drool for it.
4. Indian Village Wedding Theme
If your heart belongs to the rustic environment of a village consisting of bullock carts, earthen pots & lamps; then a village themed wedding is an unequivocal choice for you.
These kinds of weddings will be light on your pocket as they will require minimal resources for hosting and conducting function — also an obvious bargain in comparison to money-centric cities.
The attire for the wedding can be purely traditional along with a minimalistic approach. The bride will perfectly mix up with the environment wearing a traditional primary colour lehenga. And on the other side, the groom can opt for a subtle wheatish spectrum in Sherwanis.
5. Rajasthani Wedding Theme
Adding a flavour of ‘Apno Rajasthan’ to your wedding will make you fall in love with the richness the culture and place have to offer. The setting of folksy decor and frilling pavilions with bright colour cushions and bolsters will definitely add an extra zest to the overall theme.
You can enjoy your sangeet night in Rajasthani music and dance that is going to be the best moments of your life. Also, how aesthetic it would be to have a pure Rajasthani bridal entry in a palki with hands embossed by authentic mehndi designs of the place.
A Rajasthani themed wedding will surely have an unconventional yet rich cuisine that you would not like to miss. The sheer purity in the dishes and desserts of the state can even convince you to change your permanent address. You must try every possible dish by hiring a local caterer.
The richness of Rajasthani themed weddings is not limited to decor and cuisine. The bride can opt for a Rajputani Lehenga immersed in bright colours accessorised with Gota Jewelry. Whereas grooms can go with a Royal Gold or Copper or Silver Sherwani ornamented with stones and beads.
6. Lucknowi Indian Wedding Theme
Some couples are fond of the Nawabi lifestyle of a Lakhnavi wedding theme. For that, you can book a massive and elegant Haveli, a heritage property or a banquet perfectly decorated keeping in mind the charm of Lakhnavis.
Pair up the antique chandeliers, lanterns, colourful frills & glasses with a perfect sangeet of ghazals and nazms to make the environment close to this Mughal themed wedding.
Opt for Lakhnavi attire that is in tandem with the theme. Brides can go with primary red or green coloured lehengas paired up with silver jewellery. The brides can also go for Anarkali oriented dresses for sangeet, mehndi and haldi. The groom must opt for monochromatic black or white or grey colours in the form of a neck embroidered sherwani.
7. Fairytale Theme wedding
Are you fascinated by the “I’ll be the Princess and you’ll be the Prince. It’s a love story baby...say yes!” kind of vibe? A fairytale themed wedding is fulfilling your dream wedding you have only seen in movies like Cinderella or Frozen.
And who would not love to be dressed up in an all-white attire taking vows in a purely white environment covered with swans and white umbrellas and a flowered facade?
Arrange and set up the decor with soft colours like white, pink, sky blue, peach and pastels to add that extra edge to an already heaven-ish wedding.
Opt for a purely international cuisine for this kind of wedding as it goes parallel to the theme of the wedding. Your guests will love to try some of the most scrumptious dishes they have never tried their tongue on.
Selecting a wedding theme can be an amazing thing to do with your partner in planning your wedding. Searching & scouring for places coherent to the theme of the wedding, and arranging vendors like photographers, caterers, planners who meet your desires will be a challenging yet satisfying task. However, all this work will be worth it to cherish the most special and memorable days of your life. These events will make you collect everlasting quirks and stories you wouldn't stop smiling when looking back at them.
