Have you ever come across the saying which says, “Home is where the story begins”, and it’s absolutely true now in this new normal. Stay home, stay safe because it’s time for celebration, get ready to decorate your home with the best ever pre-wedding home décor ideas. When everything can be done at your own sweet home, why go out? If you’re planning a Haldi and mehndi ceremony at home then these ideas will make your pre-wedding jamboree, “Made in heaven!”
Let’s have a look at some indoor pre-wedding décor ideas.
1. Heaven’s Floral Doorway
Buy some beautiful and vibrant flowers like roses, carnations, and daisies from the local vendor and decorate the entrance with elegant floral designs with your own creativity. It is not just an entrance but also where the entire ceremony experience starts. Traditionally, the entrance door of the house should be decorated with a toran – a decorative door hanging made up of mango or Ashoka leaves or marigold flowers. It is a symbol of an auspicious event at the house.
2. Radiant Rangoli Design
When it comes to home or room for Haldi and Mehendi function, you cannot underestimate the impact a colorful rangoli design can create. Show your art skills and play with colors to make a vivid rangoli at the entrance or at your favorite corners of the house! For an elegant look at the entrance, make a colorful rangoli using sand and colored rice. You can also create apt images on the floor using chalk and fill them with petals of vibrant flowers. To add more visual appeal, place a Diya in the center of the rangoli and surround it with tea light candles.
3. Bring in Yellow Drapes for Haldi Decor
Fabric drapes have become a conventional idea for home decoration in Indian pre-wedding festivities. Grab the vibrant sarees and dupattas at home and play with fabrics that will save you a lot of money and look perfect for your Haldi ceremony. They can span over the roof to the gate. Choose apt drapes which will look good with your home interiors.
4. Themed Mehndi Decor
We are living in that era where themes work more than anything else. Make your henna at home and put them in those pretty color cones that look adorable. Pop culture-themed Mehndi would be the best option at home. This striking theme is for all those brides who want their guests to be buzzing. You can opt for any particular movie and watch it with your loved ones while the mehndi dries.
5. Nuptial Signboards as Haldi or Mehandi Decor
Signboards make your function more special. Grab some wooden planks and write your ‘Initials’ to make it fun and quirky! Trust me, there is so much more you can do with the signs when it’s about home decoration for pre-wedding celebrations. A decorative bride-to-be signboard pointing to the bride’s room is the best way to up your home décor for the ceremony. Alternatively, if you have an open bar set up anywhere in the house, you can place a signboard saying, quench your thirst.
6. Pre-wedding Decoration on Staircase
Stairs straight away mean that you will be walking down that aisle looking drop-dead glamorous in your Haldi and Mehendi outfits. So, decorate your stairs with fabrics and floral. Alternately, if you have single or double stairs in your house, you may adorn the railings of the stairs with rich drapes in vivid colors.
7. In The Midst of Dazzling Lamps, Candles, and Lights
When it comes to home pre-wedding decorations, bistro lights are as good as it gets. Hang a few strands along the perimeter of your home to brighten the space. Take out your candles and tealights and light them up in ceremonies that won’t burn a hole in your pocket! If you are lucky enough to have trees in your front or backyard, you can dress them up with different lightings such as fairy lights, hanging votives, lanterns, and strings.
An aroma pillar candle in various sizes is the simplest way to create a stunning centerpiece. A bowl filled with water and some floating candles is another great option. And of course, a ceramic or a large mason jar filled with fresh flowers can never be undervalued.
8. Foliage Pre-wedding Seating Arrangements
Garlands are ultimate when it comes to filling out sparse areas and adding a dash of lush greenery to any space. Snake them down banquet tables as runners, drape over the newlyweds’ chairs, decorate a bar area, outline the beams of a tent, or use them to rope off ceremony seating. Just like your home entrance and seating area, your food table also needs special treatment.
9. Selfie Spot
Since selfies are ruling today’s world, including a beautiful photo booth that is decked up with fabrics and florals. Mix together bud vases, glass bottles, and other odds and ends from around the house in a variety of shapes and hues for an eclectic look. While flower walls make for unquestionably stunning focal points.
10. Homemade DIY Favours
Haldi and Mehendi ceremony favors are a great place to get your DIY on. Homemade sweets for your guests, handmade jewellery, or DIY candles for elegant room decor would be the best option.
Make sure that you stay safe even if the celebration is being done within the confines of your home.
