Do you want to organise your wedding celebration with a little hint of flamboyance and fanciness? Then using the same old ways would appear a bit excessively bland. Couples are in need of new age ceremonies and are searching for everything that could make a difference. The need for being distinct and special can be seen in all aspects of the arrangement, not simply the décor or the flowers.
Indian weddings are moving away from the old customary traditions and adding their own oomph factor to it. Nowadays couples are searching for unique additions to their wedding celebrations, whether it’s a new event, design, or wedding colours. And you do not need to spend a lot on your decorations for uniqueness in your wedding. Come up with creative ideas for your wedding taking inspiration from your surroundings.

Unlike the traditional mehndi ceremonies that begin early in the morning; an evening or Sundowner event is a new trend. The evening event has its own charm and more excitement. Combine this with Sangeet and you have got two events sorted.
A Sundowner mehndi with lots of great food, music and dancing will give off perfect vibes. Plus an evening mehndi will give everyone enough time to unwind before the big day. It will kick start the upcoming festivities with a great mood.
2. Dhol Night

Dhol nights are not so uncommon in Punjabi weddings. But as more people are drifting to Punjabi music and beats in general, Dhol night is becoming a favourable event in all Indian weddings. Whether it’s full on Dhol night, or dhol mixed with Bollywood punjabi night, it doesn’t get any better. Dhols, along with Bhangra dance adds so much more to the celebrations. Combine this with a percussionist DJ and you’ve got so much fun packed into a single night.
It’s important for some serious clubbing before D-Day!

Colour bombs are a recent, more innovative idea that couples and photographers have started using to add a comforting touch to the wedding pictures. In fact, colour poppers are a hot marriage trend and have ‘popped up’ in marriage photos all around the world.
6. Small Weddings Followed By Grand Receptions

A cute intimate wedding or just court registration followed by a grand reception. It’s a bit more casual than a wedding yet formal and enticing. Sometimes people want to avoid the hullabaloo of weddings yet have a large scale affair. So they opt for the sweet reception.
Although really uncommon and unheard of in India, this sequence of affairs is not traditionally accepted. Conventional marriage etiquettes won’t prevent you from doing this. But you’ll want to be cautious when it comes to the invites and guest lists because you don’t want to offend anyone. If you are planning a small wedding, have a family only ceremony. Make sure your guests are aware about the situation and have been given a valid reason for the same.

Discover your personalized wedding vision. As long as you can celebrate the wedding in your way, it doesn’t matter what rules and traditions are followed or not. Your wedding deserves all the flare and individuality!
