Palace Wedding in India
Everybody wants to feel like royalty and more so on their wedding day.
Several palaces, especially in Rajasthan are being let out for weddings.
If you want a palace wedding, you should make sure that everything else has the feel of royalty.
The Wedding Invitations Your wedding invitation should resemble a royal summons, not in its wording but in its appearance.
Use a lot of gold with a royal green, a deep blue or a blood red to make it appear regal.
The Venue While the palace will be beautiful by itself, you should have it decorated so it is fit for a royal wedding.
Exotic flowers like orchids, plenty of electric lights, several diyas, water bowls with flowers in them, fountains etc should be used to deck the halls of the palace.
Cutlery The glasses in which you serve wine or cocktails should be good crystal ware.
You can also give a completely ancient look to the wedding by using clay ware instead.
The plates should also follow a similar pattern.
If you are using crystal ware glasses, go for good quality china.
If you are opting for clay glasses, make the soup bowls, the spoons and the plates similar in style.
Baarat Get the baarat to be a royal one with beautiful horses and men dressed as cavalry preceding the groom.
This will be the best time to make the groom feel like a Prince.
The Reception Have the chairs decorated so they look like they belong in a palace.
Serve rich food and cocktails that you would have at a Mughal wedding.
Ensure that there is a variety of desserts and that they are as creamy as they can be.
Wedding Favors Gift your guests with something to remember your wedding by.
Silver diyas or incense holders are always a good idea.
You can also gift your guests with nuts and dried fruits such as almonds, figs, apricots, walnuts and cashew nuts like the kings of yester years used to.
If you want the favors to be more personalized, present the guests with trinkets from the region where you are celebrating your wedding.
For example, a wedding in Udaipur could mean you gift your guests with little horse figurines, or with small miniature paintings that Udaipur is so famous for.
If you are celebrating your wedding in Bangalore, you can present your guests with Sandalwood bookmarks or figurines.
Make the most of your royal wedding by just having fun.
