Indian Wedding Ideas: for weddings or parties

I was inspired by my Indian Weddings post and decided to continue the research and create a post  offering Indian Wedding Ideas! Well, I didn't really decide, it just kind of happened because Indian Weddings are awesome. 

Anyway, You don't even have to have an Indian Wedding to incorporate some of these ideas and it doesn't even have to be for a wedding. How about an Indian themed party! That sounds fun to me. 

Personalized Indian Favors

Wedding favors are small gifts given in appreciation to the guests. The tradition is an old one originated in Europe. In weddings, a small trinket box was filled with cubes of sugar, which during this era, was a treasured commodity only among the wealthy and it was believed that sugar had medical benefits.

Ideas: elephant candle holders, Indian trinket box, incense, or elephant picture holders. 

Indian Wedding Dresses

These sari gowns are so beautiful with intricate details and patterns, and the inspiration for a design is endless with all the different colors and styles.

Indian Weddings

India is such a beautiful country with incredible culture and people. The base of this country's culture is tradition, and weddings still definitely keep a great deal of tradition. They are bright events, many times lasting several days and combine local, religious and family traditions. Lots of color is definitely a unique trait in Indian weddings, as it is in Indian culture in general. These weddings are joyous and festive, like the people in India. 

I have only attended one Indian wedding as a kid, but I would love to be part of many more. Have you ever attended a South Asian Wedding, or had one yourself?
