Imagine this. The lush green lawn spread all over, covered with the pleasing yellow, to the point where your sight ends and you see young and innocent kids frolicking and jumping, playing their childlike sports. As you pass the vestibule, you see a landscape of happiness and auspiciousness all around; on the left young girls swooning over the prospect of marriage and on the right, ladies silently blessing the beautiful angel sitting on a stool. You see her covered with turmeric, or as it is called Haldi in Hindi, and her friends insist you to partake. You reach where she is sitting, bow down and apply some Haldi on her arms; wishing the best to the neophyte out to embark on a journey.

Haldi Ceremonies like these are so common in the Indian sense of weddings, making them the most looked after functions. Theologically, Haldi Ceremonies represent the ultimate cleansing of the bride and the groom, post which they are not allowed to meet before the wedding. It is a manifestation of beauty and innocent nervousness, intermingled with the wishes in the form of Haldi given to the two. Scientists argue, that Haldi also beautifies the skin and kills all bacteria that are latent, therefore LITERALLY cleansing you for your wedding.
Haldi Ceremony Decorations
A Haldi Ceremony is the function of highest order, therefore it warrants Haldi decorations of the highest order too. From the overarching yellow taking charge of the aesthetics, to the Marigold flowers gracing the welcome screen, Haldi Ceremonies and Haldi Decorations are seen to be the artist’s delight; a blank canvas to paint the entire ceremony beautiful.
In the past few months, weddings have seen a very narrow canopy to sustain and host guests for sharing happiness. Nonetheless, the very spirit of Haldi Decorations is based on eye-dimming brightness, which is what our future holds too. For all the young brides-to-be and the handsome grooms, here are some quintessential ideas for designing your Haldi Ceremony decorations!
Haldi Ceremony Hangings
1. Yellow Haldi Ceremony Hangings
I personally call these wind chimes made of flowers as little bundles of joy. They are the best and most versatile elements of Haldi Decorations, almost present and available in every Haldi Ceremony. With these wonderful hangings, how can a function not be infused by love and auspiciousness? These are very easy to make at home, as you just need a bunch of Yellow marigold flowers, and other types of flowers to infuse vividity.
2. Dream catchers for Haldi Ceremony
With these wonderful Haldi decorations that exude a similar aesthetic feel like the bundles of joy, they are also very characteristic of Haldi Ceremonies and events. One can create a dream catcher very simply, even at home using some flowers, threads and ribbons. Essentially, they are elements that the cupid gifts you for your Haldi ceremony; as you purify yourself to marry the one.
3. Birds of the Haldi Ceremony!
Another derivative of the hanging bundles of joy, these hangings include little birds, mostly reminiscent of the Cuckoo bird but instead of professing beautiful melodies, one hears the bells of auspiciousness as a very sweet Haldi Decoration. Again very easy to make at home, but one can find very beautiful and amazing designs from artists and wedding carpenters serving in your Haldi Ceremony.
4. Haldi Ceremony Parandis of Punjab
What can be called as quintessential elements of every Punjabi Haldi Ceremony, of all the functions right from engagement to Haldi, these are historically considered to be the most auspicious and likeable Haldi Decorations that can be found. They are very prevalent, not only in a Punjabi Haldi Ceremony but all across India in different cultures and weddings, and can be found very easily available.
5. Haldi Ki Matki
This is one of the most interesting and engrossing elements of Haldi decoration. What it entails, is basically a round ‘Matka’ that hangs from the top while little ropes of marigold hang from it, symbolic of the Butter spilling out of the Matki which we link with Lord Krishna. This is easy to make and a DIY element for your Haldi Ceremony, as you can decorate the Matka by yourself. It can also be customised by imprinting names of the bride and the groom.
6. Religious Vibes for Haldi Ceremony
Haldi Ceremony Welcome Arches
7. Haldi Ceremony’s Welcome Decor!
Walk of the Royals is the decorative masterpiece of how an arch to welcome guests should look. A round and wholesome Haldi decoration element, that provides the perfect welcome spot, this is typically made of flowers, but can also be formed out of other Haldi Decorations such as yellow balloons. The name card on the top of this arch truly elevates the arch in entirety.
8. Multicolor Chadar Entrance for Haldi
9. Yellow Sky for Haldi Ceremony!
This particular arch overlooks the bride’s throne, as she sits and the guests perform rituals of the typical Haldi Ceremony. This is purely created by green leaves and climbers, and injects a newfound freshness in the Haldi ceremony that is otherwise glazed by yellowness all across. Couples with a few marigold flowers hither and tither, and you have the best that you could’ve asked for.

11. Yellow Curtains of Haldi Decorations!
A simplistic form of arch for a nice and sober Haldi Ceremony would be one that is graced by bright yellow curtains, resonating with the natural and beautiful colour of Haldi. These waves of yellow curtains, when set appear to be pitch-perfect Haldi Decorations as the soft brush of breeze passes by. They are very common and can be seen in different Haldi Ceremonies.
12. Haldi Ceremony’s Stage Garland!
This is the dreamiest and most wholesome arch in the list, with refreshing and beautiful yellow flowers arranged perfectly to form the circle of life; an eternal sphere that symbolises happiness. This is very sought after because of its floral setting, and can be made with different flowers and other decorative elements such as balloons too.
Haldi Ceremony Thrones for Brides
13. The Haldi Jhoola
For the Bride to sit and for the guests to partake in the rituals, the Haldi Swing is an unconventional yet the most recent addition to the brand of Haldi decorations as seen in Haldi Ceremony. This is typically the type of swing that kids swing on, but for the bride. It extends from the arch, and thus allows for the bride to sit. A crowd pleaser to click amazing photographs with a quirky tinge to it.
14. Bridal Swing-Set
This is the most well-known and sought after element in a Haldi Ceremony, this swing set happens to be the perfect place for the bride to rest.
