Every wedding function must have its own unique décor. Indian weddings have so many wedding functions, and each of them usually has its own theme and color palette. So, mapping out the décor at each function gets easier, because we are already familiar with some basic color schemes for every event.
The Mehendi ceremony usually has a green color palette while Sangeet ceremonies go for something more colorful, like a mix of purple and pink. Haldi ceremonies usually mimic the yellow hues of Haldi.
If you have drained all the popular resources, such as Instagram and Pinterest, to gather some creative ideas for your Haldi décor, this blog will help you browse through some newer ideas! Use some of these props and elements to make your Haldi ceremony a vibrant affair.
Hangings For an Unusual Event
The Haldi ceremony is the ‘fun’ ceremony of every wedding. You get to rejoice with your friends and family and just have a great time while forgetting the wedding stress for some time. You can use unusual accent pieces as hangings. Whether it is tassels, floral strings, dreamcatchers, etc.
These hanging pieces can be big or small, and there is no limit to the number of hangings you can use either! If you wish to have something artsier in your décor, you can also create your art pieces for the hangings.
These hangings can be suspended from an open-air mandap, a backdrop foundation, or even branches of trees. If you are having an indoor wedding, suspending them from the ceiling is a no brainer!
Make It Colorful
You can make your Haldi ceremony pop with color. If you are looking for something elegant while filling the set up with color to its brim, use a shamiyana. A shamiyana is a traditional South Asian ceremonial tent that has been popularly used for decades. The best part about this tent is that the walls are easily removable. The shamiyana can be used in multiple ceremonies for outdoor parties and events, but you can amp up the elegance of your Haldi and Mehendi ceremonies with these tents.
Adorn your Shamiyana with florals and lights. You can also use a patterned cloth to decorate it. If you are going for an all floral look, fill it with multi colored floral arrangements. Remember, with a shamiyana, more is less, so don’t hesitate to choose a heavy floral decoration. You can also get tent chandelier rentals easily, so do think of it as an option!
Use Funky Props
You can make your Haldi ceremony as upbeat as you wish with some quirky props. These props are unusual décor, but they definitely make your venue look more colorful and preppy. Use colorful and patterned umbrellas and kites for some overhead décor in a closed tented space. You can also suspend rent chandeliers from the ceiling of the tent.
Floral chandeliers also look very eccentric and blend well with the quirky vibe you are going for. You can also use colorful drapes to match these props. Use creative seating arrangements rather than plain jane chairs, such as diwans, cushions, can stools, chaarpayi, etc. You can also go for some quirky patterned pillows to go with this traditional seating.
Highlight the Haldi Color
You can make your Haldi ceremony very multi colored, but we personally feel going back to the yellow roots brings a different charm to the event. When one thinks of a Haldi ceremony, their mind automatically goes to the color yellow. You can go for a bold look and make the yellow stand out through the décor. Use yellow marigold flowers, some yellow drapes and some other props to accentuate the décor.
Give some emphasis to the smaller details that can be used for décor. Although florals and drapes are seen at every other wedding, you simply cannot have a grand affair without these basic elements. Make sure you use them smartly.
Use Lighter Props
No Haldi ceremony can be complete without some cute pictures. Set up a quirky photo booth so your guests can have a gala time. You can go for something classics like a golden tinted photo frame, or a floral covered vehicle such as a bicycle or a hand rickshaw. Cover them up with yellow and orange marigolds to make them stand out.
You can also go for something traditional, like a swing. Decorate the swing with florals, drapes, and fancy cushions to go for a completely royal look.
