The Colourful Authentic Indian Wedding Photography

01/09/2018 by admin

An Indian wedding is known for its lavishness, vibrant and enjoyable atmosphere. They have always been special occasions celebrated with excellent passion, warmth and spirit. Rich colours, ornate jewellery, attractive henna styles and fancy decor mirror a real Indian wedding celebration.

In Indian culture, colour plays a big part in identifying the style and ultimate tone of the ceremony thereby determining the feel and look of an Indian wedding. For Indians the symbolism of colour stands out in every aspect of life, be it a religion, either festivals or celebrations.

Red, gold, orange, burgundy, pink and green and are some popular colours that make the wedding most colourful and genuine. Among all the colours, red is the most popular choice for brides because it brings good luck and happiness to the marrying couple.

The Colourful Authentic Indian Wedding Photography: Capturing the Beauty of Indian Weddings

Indian cultures always have a variety of colours that are particular to their regions. North Indian weddings have red, pink, orange, green and yellow colour in their weddings while the south wedding has white and gold.

These traditions get transported to the UK, USA, Canada – in fact where ever in the world the family are now settled and now call home. These days, many brides are picking a mix of traditional and contemporary styles when it pertains to their wedding celebrations.

So, no Indian wedding event is ever complete without sophisticated decor and colourful vibrant accessories.

Capturing the Vibrancy of Indian Weddings Through Photography

Here is the list of things that make a wedding day most vibrant and authentic:

Bride & Groom attire – Every Indian community ( Gujarati, Lohana, Jain, Punjabi, Tamil, Hindu ) has its own special style of dress for the wedding couple that is worn throughout the ceremony. North Indian brides choose red, pink or a cream-coloured dress emphasised with gold while the South brides choose white sari embroidered in gold or a red border.

Traditionally, grooms wear trousers with a long designer jacket – Indian Sherwani suit. The one element that they all have in common is the multicoloured turban which they wear in different styles.

Gorgeous and extensive jewellery – Indian bridal jewellery is always sophisticated, colourful and heavy usually made of gold. The attire of an Indian bride is never complete without the wedding jewellery that includes necklaces, bangles, brooches, rings, pendant, earrings and hair ornament.

Wedding Invites – The first element of a colourful wedding is the wedding invitation. The beautiful Indian wedding invitations are of multiple colours that are enriched with rich designs and impressive textures.

They exhibit the true colours of Hindu religion. All invitations accentuate and give prominence to Ganesha, the Hindu god, with a delightful small icon placed in the inner invitation.

Elaborate Decoration – Indian wedding ceremonies always take place on a wedding stage / mandap under a canopy where the bride and groom take their seven sacred steps together in front of their families. This stage or mandap is hired for the wedding day, erected by specialist companies in the morning and removed after all the last wedding ceremony Vidai on the day is complete. They come in various sizes, four pillars or 6 pillars, either in white or gold and are generally decorated with bright flowers. However the jain community prefer the mandap to be made of natural wood.

So, whatever the situation, you will absolutely see dynamic vibrant colours at an Indian wedding celebration.  A wedding is one of the most special days of your life, full of magical moments you’ll want to remember forever. Your pictures will serve as a precious reminder of colourful and authentic Indian Wedding, even in London UK.

Indian Wedding Customs Summed Up

21/12/2017 by admin

As usual Indian weddings have lots of celebrations preceding the wedding day and all are full colour, splendour and excitement. There are countless customs and many sub-cultures that I will only deal with a few as a guide for you. Remember his is a summery from a wedding photographers point of view.

Pre-Wedding Customs

These events are extremely important to Indian weddings and are deemed to be necessary events for the pending wedding.

Listed below are couple of the rituals that are observed by the Hindu community, even here in London.

Mehndi Party:
This is kept the night before the wedding and normally it’s the ladies on the bride’s side celebrate this ritual.

A professional mehndi artist and talented relatives will apply henna in very sophisticated designs to the hands and feet of the bride and other women family members would like to have the henna done.

These designs are meant to signify beauty, a spiritual awakening and joy.
Guests at the event dress in bright colours after all it an Indian party, and there will be singing and dancing to traditional wedding songs.

Pithi:
This ceremony is performed for good luck. Usually the bride and groom have separate pithi ceremonies at the respective family homes.

Pithi is a paste made primarily from turmeric (haldi) and water, some time rose water is used too.
Members of the family and well wishers of the bride and groom will administer this paste on the groom/bride’s face and feet.

This pithi ceremony occurs a day or two before the wedding and is believed to even the skin tones and brighten the skin for the special day.

Indian Weddings London and The Ceremony Explained in Short:

This wedding ceremony is essentially a sequence of sacred rituals that join the bride and groom as husband and wife. Indian see this as joining of families too and for most part, the families play a major part in lifestyle of the bride and groom here for support and guidance.

Baraat: The wedding ceremony begins with the arrival of the groom’s procession with droll players, traditionally on a horse or an elephant. In London a wedding car will have to the substitute.

Milni is the meeting of the families, where the bride’s family greets the groom’s family. In some communities garlands are exchanged.

Traditionally Ganesh Puja would take place, this is the prayer to the Lord Ganesh and the start of the ceremony. However, in 2018 most Londoners have this ceremony the day prior the wedding.

Kanya Aagaman is the arrival of the bride escorted by family members, for hindu’s this is the mama (the bride mother’s brother) or the brother

Jai Mala is the exchanging of flower garlands by the bride and groom.

Kanyadaan and Hasta Melap is when the father of the bride places her hand on the groom’s hand and pours holy water over both hands. The groom’s scarf is then tied/attached to the bride’s wedding sari to embody an eternal bond of marital life.

 

Vivah Havan is when the priest lights the sacred fire or Agni to represent it’s holy presence as a witness and it is believed that promises made in the presence of Agni are made in the presence of God.

 

Mangal Phere is when the bride and groom circle around the very sacred fire four or seven times (again regional variance where the family come from from back in India) each circle representing their aspirations in life.

Saptapadi is the seven sacred steps the bride and groom take with each step making a special sacred vows to each other.

The bride and groom then return to their seats and the bride then moves to sit at the groom’s side taking the place closest to the groom’s heart.

Mangalsutra:
The groom then offers his lifelong protection putting a necklace made of gold and black beads around her neck.

Sindoor or red vermilion powder is put by the groom on the bride’s forehead, this ritual now signifies the bride’s status as a married woman.

Wedding rings: At some Indian weddings, the rings may be exchanged and they feed each other some sweets.

Aashirvaad is the final blessing of the married couple and and generally a total of four ladies of the two families whisper blessings into the bride’s ear.

Blessings of the Indian Priest and Parents:
The couple bows down to the priest, and their parents to receive their final blessings.

The wedding is now complete and lastly the guests shower the newly married couple with flower petals and rice as a way of wishing them a happy and long marriage.

Hope you can find this summery of the cultural tradition of indian wedding ceremony wonderful to make your day even more special.
