These quirky weddings make fun the focal point of the whole party. Formal is thrown out and informal is embraced with zest! Remember the recent wedding of Shahid Kapoor, there was a splash of pop art and funny banners. One of them saying “Mere Saiyaan Super-Star” brought smiles because it was subtly hilarious yet true. Create tags with funny one-liners that could go from “Wait until my drunken speech” to “I am Groom’s Chaddhi buddy”. Keeping in line with the theme, make sure the food definitely includes street side delicacies on carts, not on serving tables.
Scroll Wedding InvitationsThe ideal décor for this type of a wedding would be a village carnival with cots, lanterns, cart wheels etc creating that old world ‘rural’ feel. Let there be more than one dance floor. Arrange for horse and camel rides within the venue to delight your guests.

Small bushy bouquets in globe-like vases on the table give a very classy feel to the wedding décor. You can tie flower laden sprigs, about two to three with lace and place it on the plates on the table. Alternatively use them to tie cutlery and napkins. Making a tree or big bush as a centrepiece would also be a good idea. If it is a day wedding, hang the picture of couples from the tree or the bush. If it is a night affair then illuminate it with lights to create a dazzling effect. Placing potted plants all around the venue also makes for a nice addition.
The platform where bride and groom meet all the guests can also have a lush green background.

Combination of Jasmine and Roses also creates a heady combination of sharp and sweet fragrance along with contrasting colours. Roses have been a top choice for Indian wedding for almost forever. Their deep shade of maroon and red with sweet scent gels with Indian ethos like a dream. However, with weddings taking on and trying different looks, there are more flowers that are making to high pedestal here.
Peonies are fast replacing traditional roses and what more, they come in various shades and have a delicate scent as compared to slightly sharp Rose scent. Orchid themed weddings in white and purple are again catching rage with many modern couples opting for them. Orchids are sturdy and take quite a while to wither which makes them apt for warm and balmy Indian weather. African daisies have also made a lot of splash in many modern day weddings.
