The glitz and glamour unveiled on the sangeet night

[mohifashion]

Should we follow all our Indian Wedding traditions?

We no longer see many arranged marriages. Instead, most of us find love at school, at a party, on dating apps, in Ubers, etc. Today, we are finding love on our own terms. That’s why weddings today are incredibly joyous occasions - a moment to celebrate the love between two people and the union of two families.

When it’s time to get married, we want that celebration to be a display of our personalities (as bride and groom) and affection. We plan our wedding for nearly a year - to include fun coordinated dances at the Sangeet, beautiful outfits, open bars for our friends; and we hope everyone breaks it down on the dance floor at the Reception. Amidst all of this though, many couples go through their actual wedding ceremony and have no idea what is happening nor understand what each custom represents. Why do we do this? 

 Last year, prior to getting married, I spent a lot of time researching each part of the Wedding ceremony. I wanted to learn more about the seven steps around the agni (fire) and the meaning behind the Mangalsutra before getting on the mandap in front of hundreds of people and committing my vows. However, as I continued to research, I learned about the Vidaai ceremony, which happens at the end of the wedding ceremony; and I felt that my personal beliefs did not align with this custom. That’s why I decided to remove it from our ceremony.

In English, Vidaai means “Goodbye,” and it’s a ceremony is all about bittersweet farewells. Traditionally, the Vidaai represents the final stage of a wedding, where the bride’s parents say goodbye to their daughter, and they are officially “separated.” The ceremony is a mix of overwhelming emotions. There is usually dramatic background music playing and everyone is weeping.

The bride’s parents and family accompany her out of the wedding. Before the bride leaves them, she may throw rice behind her as to symbolize a repayment to her parents for all that they have given her throughout the years. The father of the bride then hands her off to her new husband, which almost feels like a “changing of the guards.” Then, the couple gets ready to drive away in their car (usually a very extravagant car these days).

Brothers and cousins of the bride sometimes help push the car to represent their acceptance of the new husband and their marriage. However, often times, female friends and family of the bride stand in front of the car, preventing the couple from leaving until they are paid off to accept the new husband. The groomsmen and male relatives eventually remove the girls in order to help the groom take his bride away. 

Okay, so where did this tradition originate from? I learned that, historically in India, brides were given away to kings and princes as a gift or property. In true “Game of Thrones” fashion, if a kingdom had to surrender or if a treaty had to be made between two kingdoms, a girl was given away as compensation. Over time, these arranged marriages evolved and became based on astrology, caste associations, etc. A bride would often meet their groom and his family for the first time on their wedding day. The Vidaai was actually an emotional moment because the bride was joining a family she barely knew, and her parents may potentially never see her again. 

Let’s fast forward to today. We are knowingly and happily marrying our husband, and we do not feel like we are being given away. Instead, we proudly feel like we are bringing two families together. In a time where our American culture reinforces gender equality and female strength, why do we still partake in this antiquated Indian tradition? What is the right balance of displaying ourselves as bride and groom, but also abiding to generations of family traditions?

Are we supposed to follow traditions because they existed for so many years? Or do we make a conscious decision to mold and modernize these traditions for our generations to come? As I get older and learn more about my family, I’m truly unsure of the right answer.

Tony Stark Masterlist

.

An urgent knock on the toilet door made Tony startle, frowning as it turned insistent and quite irritating.

“Aap zara jaldi karenge, please?” a female voice came through with words he couldn’t even begin to comprehend.

“Sorry?” he called back, finishing his business quickly and cleaning up.

“Would you mind hurrying up? It’s kind of an emergency.” she repeated this time in a language he understood, the voice seemed to get him curious to know about the person attached to it. It was one of those voices that got him wondering.

“I don’t mean to be rude but the last time I checked, this was the men’s room, ma’am.” he called out, a small smile on his face as he wiped his hands, hearing a click of a tongue outside the door.

“I appreciate you pointing out the obvious but, like I said, it’s an emergency and there’s a long queue for the ladies room. Now, are you planning on settling in there or–”

The door swung open, revealing the most gorgeous set of eyes and the most intriguing face Tony Stark had seen in his life. She rolled her eyes, muttering a ‘finally’ under her breath before brushing past him and locking the door behind her, leaving behind a lingering scent of roses and the same intrigue he’d had when he first heard her voice. He walked out of there, not before glancing behind once more with a small frown on his face.

The drive over to the venue was long and tiring, the balmy weather turned cooler as evening approached, rendering the skies in hues of fiery orange and purple. He had been invited to attend a wedding of a former MIT colleague in India, well not just the wedding but a week-long event of festivities. Something that was a common occurrence here, he was told.

The venue was stunning. A palace, quite literally, that had been turned into a boutique hotel, decorated to the nines for the wedding. The colors, the smells, the people, all of it was a bit overwhelming at first for him, but he grew to enjoy it.

As Tony entered the gardens where an event known as a ‘sangeet’ was, he was handed a welcome drink, which turned out to be a spiked sherbet. Mingling with other guests, he made his way to meet his friend, the groom. As he was chatting away, among the collective giggles that sounded through, Tony picked up a familiar voice, one he had heard just a few hours ago.

Sure enough, it was the same girl he had bumped into, or rather it was her who stumbled in the men’s room and had lingered on his mind. She was stunning, to say the least, wearing one of the most beautiful outfits, decked in jewelry and make-up that highlighted her best features.

Tony felt an unstoppable urge to go up to her, he simply couldn’t help himself. Clearing his throat he made his presence known, a few of the women surrounding her gave him judgy looks, stifling giggles for reasons unknown.

“Oh! It’s you!” You exclaimed, instantly recognizing the man before you, giving him a genuine smile, you held out your hand which he accepted.

“Y/N Y/L/N, I stormed in your stall earlier today, I’m sorry.” You placed a lock of hair behind your ear, staring down at your clasped hands, taking notice of how warm his hand felt against yours, it was a perfect fit.

“I remember you. Tony Stark, it’s a pleasure.” He shook your hand but didn’t let go, letting his sunglass-clad gaze roam over you some more. Reluctantly you let his hand go, still feeling his touch on your skin long after you had parted.

“Wait—you’re Anthony Stark?”

“The one and only.”

“Ah. I’ve heard a lot about you, you’ve got quite the reputation.” You teased, stopping one of the serves to get yourself a drink.

“One that precedes me. Please don’t believe everything you hear.” He shook his head, for once hoping he hadn’t been such an infamous personality and not always for the right reasons. Afterall he did want to make a good first impression.

“Well, stick around to prove it wrong, then maybe I won’t.”

He raised an eyebrow at you, smirking in response as he downed the rest of the drink he held. There was something about you, definitely.

“Are you a friend of the groom too?”

“Nope. The bride, she’s my best friend. We practically grew up together.”

Speaking of whom, you heard her call out your name urgently, effectively cutting your conversation with the billionaire, genius short. Tony wanted to know more, everything, but it would have to wait; and he would have to think of ways to spend more time with you since his time in India was limited.

“I’ll find you later, Anthony. Don’t be a stranger, okay?” you smiled, giving his arm a friendly squeeze before excusing yourself. That little gesture warmed his heart, given he was surrounded by strangers in a country that was miles from home, your friendly face and kind eyes made him feel at ease.

.

Light music played on the speakers as the usual murmur of people chattering floated through the halls of the palace. The mehndi or henna tattoo on your hands was almost done, the elegant, intricate designs and patterns and the peculiar, earthy smell always made you happy. It was still a long way from drying but the breeze kept blowing your hair into your face, driving you to a point of irritation.

“Need help?”

You heard a familiar voice before the man poked his head from behind a pillar, looking far too amused. Sleeves rolled up and yet another pair of expensive tinted glasses, the man looked dapper, a bit more relaxed but still quite out of place.

“I’m starting to think you’ve been spying on me, Mr. Stark.” you feigned shock, shaking your head in lame attempts to get your hair to behave, but it wouldn’t budge.

“I mean, this little struggle is way too entertaining to miss. May I?”

He chuckled at your adorable pouty face before your unruly hair was tucked behind your ear, his fingers caressing your face ever so gently and leaving a trail of tingly feelings behind. The gesture made several hopeless butterflies flutter in your belly.

“How’d you sleep?” You cleared your throat, rolling your eyes at the people who stopped in their tracks to stare at the man who didn’t have eyes for anyone else but you.

“I don’t sleep much. Are you from here?” Tony’s nose twitched before he sneezed, narrowing his eyes at the drying henna on your hands.

“Oh no, home is miles away. But I have been here before, as a child. It is one of my favorite cities.”

You smiled as he asked more questions about you and your life, answering all the questions you had with utmost honesty as well. You realized how easy it was to talk to the man, though he seemed to have an aura about him, it was somehow meant for others, not you.

It was only later as he picked up his jacket that you noticed he was in a suit again.

“Are all of the clothes you’ve brought so…Western?”

“What do you mean?” Your question made him frown and look down at his choice of outfit.

“I mean, you’re at an Indian wedding. A nice sherwani would’ve been more appropriate, don’t you think?”

“A sher-what?”

You giggled, explaining what it was.

“My stylist picked these out for me, I’m sorry I had no idea. I’m coming off as ignorant, aren’t I?”

He scratched the back of his neck, nervously.

“Maybe out of place, not ignorant. But we can fix that. There’s some great stores around here, if you want I could take you shopping.” You suggested, feeling bad that you made him self-conscious all of a sudden.

“I would love it! I—I mean I would appreciate it. Thank you, Y/N.”

“Just give me like half an hour?”

You raised your hands up to show the mehndi still needed time to dry. Agreeing to meet him by the cars they had arranged to let people drive around, you parted ways. This day was suddenly looking up for more than one reason now.

.

“Try one in the white, I think you’ll carry it off well.” you nodded at the gorgeous sherwani with intricate design, holding it up against Tony’s chest and urging him to put it on.

It had been a fun day walking around the streets, strolling into stores to buy some traditional clothes for Tony Stark. With people stopping him to take pictures and autographs, it was quite endearing to watch him engage with them, patiently pose for pictures and entertain them with little quips and tales. You hadn’t missed the sneaky looks and gazes as you conversed with people at the stores or drove him around the city.

“What do we think?” you called out, pacing outside the trial room as you waited for the man.

“I think I might have to fire my stylist.”

You giggled, clapping your hands in delight as the man stepped out looking unbelievably dapper, and rather hot if you’d allowed your thoughts to run wild. You turned your attention to the selection of dupattas they had, quickly scanning through them until you found a piece you were looking for.

“It was missing this. There. Now you’re done.” you draped a red dupatta you’d found with small white bandhani details all over it. It truly made the outfit come together and what was Iron Man without a bit of that signature red anyway?

“I needed you, Y/N. Where have you been all my life?”

You met his gaze in the mirror, cheeks warming as he sent you a wink. Paying for the clothes, you put the stuff back in your car, feeling a little sad that your time with him was almost over. Tomorrow the two of you would go separate ways after the wedding. Almost sensing the same, Tony let out a sigh as he took a seat in the passenger seat, leaning his back and turning to you, placing his hand on top of yours with a smile.

“I’ve had the best day, Y/N. we should probably head back huh?” trying to think of ways to extend this, he wasn’t prepared to let you go so soon. As if on cue, your phone started ringing, it was one of the relatives at the wedding, probably calling you back. You stared at the screen for a moment before switching it off and throwing it in your purse.

“I’m not ready for the day to end just yet.” you stated, surprised at your own statement as you heart beat against your ribcage, hoping to God he felt the same way. Tony, impressed beyond belief, gave you his winning grin.

“Me neither. Ice-cream? My treat.” he frowned as you shook your head, pulling the car out of parking and heading to one of your favorite spots in the city.

“I’ve got a better idea. Kulfi. With a view.”

It was an ancient fort in ruins now, though it still offered stunning panoramic views of the city and the lakes surrounding it. Your timing couldn’t be more perfect as the sun was on the cusp of setting, the skies were a dramatic pink and orange as you grabbed a couple of kulfis. Handing one to Tony you grabbed his hand and hurried towards your favorite spot, missing Tony’s chuckle at your excitement.

“Aren’t you needed back at the wedding, Miss Y/L/N?”

You hummed, perching yourself on the stone ledge as Tony did the same, angling his body towards you.

“If we go back now we would miss this gorgeous sunset, wouldn’t we? They’ll survive.” you smiled, your eyes shining in the golden sunlight that had bathed the surroundings.

Soon enough you were left mesmerized as the sun set behind the horizon, it brought back memories from your childhood when you had first visited the place, eating the same kulfi you were now, watching the city change colors along with the skies with the same child-like wonder.

“What do you think?” you murmured, eyes on the glistening water of the lake.

“Stunning.”

Your cheeks turned warm once again because from your peripheral vision you could tell his eyes weren’t focused on the view, they were on you.

You spoke about the randomest of things as evening drew on, not bothering to check your phone or the sky for a fact that it had turned gray with clouds that promised a light shower or two.

Tony made you laugh, he was a good listener and really paid attention and in a way made you wonder why you hadn’t met before.

“When do you go back to Malibu?” Not even attempting to mask the tinge of sadness as you spoke, picking on the invisible lint of your dress.

“Tomorrow. Midnight. Listen, Y/N—”

“We should head back.”

Cutting him mid-sentence, you stood up and began walking back; however, the weather had other plans. Soon fat droplets of water splattered across the limestones, drenching you and Tony within seconds.

It was a good fifteen minute walk back to the car but the rains showed no sign of stopping. Tony called out your name but you didn’t stop, not wanting him to see how heartbroken you were. It wasn’t everyday you felt this way. Not over someone you had met just forty eight hours ago. Then again, it wasn’t everyday that Tony Stark stumbled into your life.

You felt him grab your hand and pull you back, making a run for a dilapidated section of the fort that had a part of roofing intact.

“Y/N.”

“Y/N, look at me.”

Suddenly, it wasn’t the rain or the wind that sent shivers down your spine. It was the man who stood before you, approaching you slowly until he had you caged with his arms on either side. His eyes locked into yours in a way that had your heart threaten to beat out of your chest.

“Tony, don’t…” you trailed off, doing nothing to actually push the man away. Truth be told, you didn’t want to.

“Why not?”

“Because you’re leaving.”

His face was now mere inches from yours, gaze dropping down to stare at your lips.

“I could stay. Or you could come with me.”

As much as you wanted to believe, you knew you came from different worlds and the possibility of it working out seemed slim.

“Tell me you don’t want me as much as I want you and I’ll step away.”

You felt his hand cupping your face, forcing you to look up into his brown doe eyes. That seemed to melt away all your defenses and any protests that the rational part of your brain would throw at you. Shutting your eyes, you closed the distance and kissed him. Tony responded immediately, pulling you against his chest as his soft lips molded against yours perfectly, savoring you.

Something warm and fuzzy bloomed in your chest as you kissed, your drenched state quickly forgotten as you lost yourself in the taste of him. You had silly grins on your faces when you finally parted, foreheads touching and breaths shallow.

“You’re something else, Y/N.” he whispered, stealing a few chaste kisses while your arms found their way behind his neck.

“You’re one to talk, Anthony.”

“So…would you come with me?”

“I’ll think about it. Would you stay first?” You murmured with hints of a playful smile on your face.

“I’ll think about it.”

This was so much fun to write especially since it hit close to home. If you’ve got questions about some of the things/words here, just ask! My desi readers, if y’all picked up the Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani reference, hit me up!!

[kepamount]

Hiii! i freaking love you and all your work! i wanted to know when you’ll be posting the next part of blue moon (that is if you still are) and also do you think y/n and mason will be having a joint desi and english wedding and all of the rituals? and future kids😭

thank you lovely!! 🫶🏽

i think i might just finish blue moon where it is, i’m not sure i want to carry it on anymore 😔 i might make an epilogue at some point tho!!

omg yes y/n and mason will for sure we having a desi wedding and an english wedding! y/n grew up in england so she wants to have a white wedding as well as a traditional indian wedding

it’d start with the ceremony at a stately country manor house, y/n in a beautiful white figure-hugging gown with a train and mason in a black tux crying at the altar when she walks down the aisle to an instrumental of a love song that y/n wrote for him. they’ll both cry during their vows even though mason’s is full of stupid jokes, and then he’ll kiss her softly when the ceremony ends. then they’ll have the reception in a ballroom with florals and veuve clicquot and a string quartet. they’ll both have an outfit change ofc with their extra selves 😭 their first dance would be to an instrumental version of a bollywood song like maula mere maula 🥹 their loved ones will do speeches and toasts and it’ll be a classy night until everyone gets drunk on cocktails and they finally stumble into their rooms at like 3am

then the week after that will be all the events of an indian wedding but rather than the bride and groom being split, their families do all the events together (bc obviously mason’s white family don’t know what they’re doing 😭). they’ll have a maiyan with rangoli in the chelsea badge, and it’ll end with mason and y/n throwing the haldi paste at each other 💀 they’ll have a ladies sangeet with everyone getting their mehndi done(the boys will all ask for the chels lion or something stupid like that 💀), and mason’s gonna spend forever looking for his initials and his number 19 in y/n’s mehndi. he’s gonna be annoying and try to get involved in the boliyan that y/n’s aunties and grandmothers are singing, but he’ll be demoted to doing the tambourine. the jago night will be dance battle after dance battle, and mason’s stupid ass gets lectured by y/n’s bibi for nearly dropping the jago 😭

mason’s gonna facetime y/n on the wedding morning for her to check that his turban is on properly but steph and isla will answer instead so he can’t see her getting ready. y/n will be at the gurdwara early and she’ll watch the milni through a window, nearly crying at her and mason’s families greeting each other. when y/n walks into the hall in her red bridal lehenga, everyone will be gasping and mason can’t help but look even though he’s not supposed to, making him cry at the sight of her again. y/n sits beside him and he’ll crack some stupid joke before the ceremony starts, the two of them giggling like idiots. they’ll do the ceremony, mason so nervous about making sure he gets everything right, walking slowly for the four laavan so y/n doesn’t trip over behind him. when the fourth laav is done, they’ll both be smiling like idiots bc they’re officially married in both cultures. they won’t be able to help themselves from holding hands during all the hymns and when everyone finally leaves the hall at the end of the ceremony, they’ll get to share a cute little kiss.

y/n and the bride’s side will go back to her parents house, and when mason and his side arrive at the house, y/n’s sister and all the girls will be at the door, making him do stupid challenges and getting him to pay them a grand each so he can take their sister. y/n will cry as she says bye to her family, leaving the house as a married woman, and mason will have tissues for her in his pocket but he’ll also be trying not to laugh at her 😭

y/n and mason will get ready for the reception at his house, both of them in navy blue for the party, and they’ll do a big extra entrance into the hall with flashing lights and dhol players. they’ll cut the wedding cake, mason feeding y/n a piece and y/n smushing a piece into mason’s cheek instead. they’ll have another first dance, this time to an instrumental of Die For You, and then it’ll go straight into everyone joining them on the dance floor bc the dj’s playing classic wedding bhangra. they’ll both dance until their feet hurt and everyone will get super drunk with the free bar, and the whole thing will just be perfect 🥹

Why Indian Weddings are incomplete without dance?

When we say Indian weddings are so much fun, we mean it and you would agree too. From dressing up in the brightest and blingiest outfits to elaborative ceremonies and functions, and of course the food, Indian weddings are a lot of fun. But what makes Indian Weddings stand out among the crowd is the mad dancing. “Shadi Wala Dance” is actually a thing in India which is specially choreographed. While the bride and the groom are surely a centre of attraction at weddings, the second most awaited moments at the weddings are the dance performances of family & friends. To help you get started, team Ucanji with their skilled dance choreographers have a list of Bollywood Wedding Dance videos and choreographies that may help you nail your performance.

The most popular dance forms that are performed at every Indian wedding are Bhangra and Bollywood.

Well of course Bhangra because Indian weddings are incomplete without some full-on energetic Bhangra moves. Although it’s a traditional dance form of Punjab, entire Northern India dances to the beats of Punjabi dhol and rhythms. Bhangra Dancing is all about having fun and stomping one's feet to the rhythm of the music. A chance to dance to the distinctive rhythms and melodies of Punjabi music is an integral part of the experience. Bhangra beautifully mirrors the liveliness and dynamism of the people of Punjab, and a Bhangra performance during a wedding turns into a mass performance with every guest joining in.

Bollywood has a massive impact on everything Indian, especially weddings. Every wedding will have at least one filmy performance on ‘Bole Chudiyan’ or any other fancy Bollywood song. Dancing to the famous hook steps of Bollywood Songs has now become a wedding ritual. Whether you are a newcomer or a Bollywood dancing aficionado, our online dance class is the perfect place for you to explore your talent. Learn from our expert dance choreographers all basic to advance level Bollywood dancing. So, the next time you are at a wedding function, you can ace the dance floor with your perfect Bollywood dance moves.

Importance of Dancing at Indian Weddings

Indian Weddings have a ceremony completely dedicated to singing and dancing, that’s how much we Indians love to dance. The Sangeet ceremony is the most important part of the wedding, yes, more than the actual wedding pheras. No, not really but it’s the lifeblood of a wedding. Friends and family begin their performance rehearsals as the big day draws near. Under the guidance of skilled choreographers and interesting dance choreographies, learning wedding dance performances gets easier with Ucanji.

Every Indian wedding is different from one other depending on the cultural background of the bride and the groom. There are Punjabi weddings, Rajasthani weddings, Gujarati weddings, South Indian weddings, and many more. Each has different traditions. But one thing that binds them all together is the dancing ritual.

Weddings in India have transformed from being austere and all about traditions to glamorous and cinematic. Gone are the days when the sangeet ceremony used to be all about traditional “Shadi ke geet”. Now the sangeet ceremony is a planned event of the extravagant musical affair, which isn’t restricted to just females. It has earned its place as a pre-wedding event where the entire family from both sides dance their heart off. Wedding Dance is a thing now and learning wedding dance online is the latest trend.

Indian Dancing can be as extreme as anything else in India. Dancing in India roots in the ancient form of art that represents the broader spectrum of Indian Heritage. The conclusion is that Indians love to dance. It’s an integral representation of Indian Culture and Indian weddings are the epitome of India’s cultural beauty.

A Guide to Choosing the Perfect Achkan for Grooms

When it comes to traditional Indian wedding attire, the Achkan stands out as a sophisticated and timeless option. Whether you’re looking for an Achkan for groom, an Achkan dress, or an Achkan suit, this versatile garment offers style and cultural significance. In this guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about Achkans, how they compare with Sherwanis, and why the Jodhpuri Achkan is a popular choice for modern grooms.

What is an Achkan?

An Achkan is a long, coat-like garment that originated during the Mughal period. It is typically worn with churidar pants or a dhoti, making it a perfect blend of traditional and modern fashion. The Achkan dress is popular for its simplicity, elegance, and the royal look it provides. Made from rich fabrics like silk, brocade, or velvet, Achkans are often adorned with intricate embroidery, making them a great option for wedding ceremonies.

Achkan vs. Sherwani: Which Should You Choose?

If you're deciding between an Achkan and Sherwani for your wedding, it's essential to understand their differences. While both garments are long and coat-like, the Achkan is generally lighter and more tailored, offering a streamlined look. A Sherwani, on the other hand, tends to be heavier and is often more elaborately embroidered, making it a bolder option for those who want to make a statement.

For grooms who prefer a more refined and elegant appearance, the Achkan for groom is a fantastic choice. Its understated design and intricate detailing offer a balance between tradition and contemporary style.

Why the Achkan Suit is a Great Option for Grooms

An Achkan suit is essentially an Achkan paired with tailored trousers or churidar pants. It’s a highly versatile outfit that can be worn for various wedding functions, including the engagement ceremony, sangeet, or even the wedding day itself. What makes the Achkan suit stand out is its ability to bridge the gap between traditional Indian attire and modern tailoring techniques.

The Achkan suit is often designed to fit more closely to the body, giving the groom a sharp and polished look. The fabric choices for an Achkan suit range from light linens for a summer wedding to heavier silks and velvets for winter ceremonies, ensuring you’ll be comfortable no matter the season.

The Timeless Appeal of Jodhpuri Achkan

The Jodhpuri Achkan is a variation that incorporates elements of both the Achkan and the traditional Jodhpuri suit. Known for its regal appearance, the Jodhpuri Achkan features a structured, close-fitting design that flatters the groom's physique while maintaining a traditional aesthetic.

This style often includes a high collar (Nehru collar) and detailed buttons, enhancing its royal appeal. Paired with fitted churidar pants or slim trousers, the Jodhpuri Achkan offers a distinctive and polished look, perfect for grooms who want to stand out. It’s a particularly popular option for grooms who want a balance between a classic look and modern tailoring.

Styling Tips for Grooms Wearing an Achkan

Once you’ve chosen the perfect Achkan for groom, it’s essential to style it correctly. Here are some quick tips to ensure you look your best on your big day:

Accessorize wisely: A traditional turban (safa) or stole can add an extra layer of regality to your Achkan outfit.

Footwear matters: Pair your Achkan with traditional juttis or mojaris for an authentic look.

Choose the right fabric: For summer weddings, opt for lighter fabrics like linen or cotton. For winter, rich fabrics like velvet or silk are ideal.

Fit is key: Ensure that your Achkan is tailored to fit you perfectly. An ill-fitting Achkan can detract from your overall appearance.

Capturing the Essence of Indian Weddings: Artisan Photography for Weddings in London and Birmingham

Introduction: Indian weddings are a symphony of colors, emotions, and traditions, each unique in its storytelling yet universally beautiful. The responsibility of capturing these moments falls to the wedding photographer, whose artistry turns fleeting moments into lifelong memories. For couples in London and Birmingham, finding a photographer who combines technical skill with a deep understanding of Indian culture is crucial. Enter artisan photography—a bespoke approach that transcends conventional wedding photography to create a visual narrative as unique as your love story.

What is Artisan Photography? Artisan photography is more than just taking pictures; it’s about crafting a story. An artisan photographer doesn’t merely capture events as they unfold; they infuse each image with creativity, attention to detail, and a deep appreciation for the cultural nuances of Indian weddings. The result? A collection of photos that feel both intimate and grand, each one telling a piece of the story that culminates in your union.

Why Artisan Photography is Perfect for Indian Weddings: Indian weddings are rich with rituals, from the Mehndi and Sangeet to the grand Baraat and the sacred Anand Karaj. Each of these moments is steeped in meaning and tradition. Artisan photographers understand the significance of these events and are adept at capturing them in a way that is both authentic and artistically expressive.

Capturing Vibrant Colors:

Indian weddings are renowned for their vibrant colors. The bride’s red lehenga, the groom’s intricately embroidered sherwani, the marigold garlands, and the shimmering lights—all these elements contribute to the visual feast that is an Indian wedding. An artisan photographer uses their expertise in lighting, composition, and post-processing to ensure that these colors are captured in their full glory, creating images that are as vivid and vibrant as your memories.

Highlighting Cultural Details:

The devil is in the details, they say, and this is especially true for Indian weddings. From the henna patterns on the bride’s hands to the intricate embroidery on the wedding outfits, these details are a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship that goes into Indian weddings. An artisan photographer pays special attention to these elements, ensuring that every bead, every thread, and every flower is captured with the respect and reverence it deserves.

Storytelling Through Candid Moments:

While posed portraits have their place, it’s often the candid moments that best capture the true essence of a wedding. The bride’s stolen glance at her groom, the father’s tearful smile, the laughter shared among friends—these are the moments that an artisan photographer excels at capturing. Their approach is unobtrusive yet attentive, allowing them to document the genuine emotions that make your wedding day unforgettable.

Choosing the Right Artisan Photographer in London and Birmingham: When selecting an artisan photographer for your Indian wedding in London or Birmingham, it’s essential to consider a few key factors:

Experience with Indian Weddings:

Photographing a Sikh Wedding: Why I Love Shooting Them

As a professional wedding photographer, I’ve had the pleasure of capturing a wide array of cultural and religious ceremonies. Among my absolute favorites are Sikh weddings. They are vibrant, full of life, and steeped in tradition, providing endless opportunities for stunning photography. Here's what’s involved in photographing a Sikh wedding and why I, at John Alderson Wedding Photography, absolutely love shooting them. The Vibrancy and Richness of Sikh Weddings Sikh weddings, or Anand Karaj, are an incredibly rich and vibrant celebration of love, community, and tradition. They typically last several days and include a variety of ceremonies, each brimming with color, emotion, and meaning.

Pre-Wedding Ceremonies 1. Engagement Ceremony (Kurmai) The journey begins with the engagement ceremony, known as Kurmai. This event is usually held at the groom’s home and involves the formal announcement of the engagement. Photographing Kurmai: - Capturing candid moments between the couple and their families is crucial. - The exchange of gifts and rings provides great opportunities for close-up shots. - The attire, often traditional and elaborate, adds a beautiful element to the photographs. 2. Mehendi and Sangeet The Mehendi ceremony involves applying intricate henna designs to the bride's hands and feet. This is followed by the Sangeet, a lively event filled with music, dance, and joy. Photographing Mehendi and Sangeet: - Focusing on the detailed henna patterns is a must. - The joyous expressions and colorful outfits during the Sangeet are perfect for vibrant, dynamic shots. - Capturing the dance and music adds a lively, celebratory feel to the photo collection. 3. Anand Karaj (Wedding Ceremony) The heart of a Sikh wedding is the Anand Karaj, held at the Gurdwara (Sikh temple). The ceremony is spiritual and serene, marked by the singing of hymns, prayers, and the couple's walk around the Guru Granth Sahib (the holy scripture) four times. Photographing Anand Karaj: - Respect and sensitivity are paramount. The Gurdwara is a place of worship, and it’s essential to adhere to its customs. - Capturing the couple’s expressions, the solemnity of the ceremony, and the vibrant attire of the guests is key. - The four Pheras (circles) around the Guru Granth Sahib provide great opportunities for action shots.

4. Reception Post-ceremony, the celebrations continue with a reception, which is a grand affair with food, music, and dance. Photographing the Reception: - The reception is a mix of formal and candid moments. Capturing the decor, the couple’s grand entrance, speeches, and dances are all crucial. - This is also a great time to get fun, candid shots of guests enjoying the festivities. Why I Love Shooting Sikh Weddings 1. The Colors and Attire Sikh weddings are a feast for the eyes. The vibrant colors of the outfits, the intricate jewelry, and the elaborate decorations make for stunning photographs. The bride’s attire, usually a lehenga or salwar kameez, is adorned with intricate embroidery and embellishments. The groom, in a sherwani and turban, complements the bride beautifully. Photographing the Attire: - Capturing the details of the bride’s and groom’s outfits is essential. Close-up shots of the embroidery, jewelry, and other accessories highlight the craftsmanship and beauty. - The contrast and harmony of colors add depth and richness to the photographs.

2. The Traditions and Rituals The rituals in a Sikh wedding are profound and meaningful. Each ceremony, from the pre-wedding events to the Anand Karaj, is steeped in tradition and spirituality. These rituals provide a narrative to the wedding album, telling a story of love, respect, and cultural heritage. Photographing the Rituals: - Capturing the emotions and expressions during these rituals is key. The joy, the tears, the laughter – all contribute to a compelling photo story. - The rituals often involve beautiful symbolic elements, such as the exchanging of garlands, the four Pheras, and the tying of the knot (Palla). These moments are perfect for detailed shots that convey the significance of the ceremony. 3. The Joy and Energy Sikh weddings are incredibly joyous and energetic. The celebrations are lively, with music, dance, and laughter filling the air. This energy is infectious and makes for fantastic, dynamic photographs. Photographing the Energy: - Capturing candid moments of guests dancing, laughing, and celebrating adds life to the photo album. - The Sangeet and reception are particularly vibrant events where the joy and excitement are palpable. These moments are perfect for capturing the essence of the celebration.

4. The Food The food at Sikh weddings is a highlight in itself. A grand feast, often featuring a variety of traditional Punjabi dishes, is an integral part of the celebration. Photographing the Food: - Food photography at weddings can add a delightful element to the photo album. Capturing the array of dishes, the vibrant colors, and the guests enjoying the feast provides a comprehensive view of the celebration. - Close-up shots of the beautifully presented dishes can highlight the culinary artistry involved. 5. The Sense of Community Sikh weddings are not just about the union of two individuals but also about the coming together of families and communities. The sense of community and togetherness is deeply ingrained in the celebrations. Photographing the Community: - Capturing the interactions between family members and friends, the group photos, and the communal prayers add a sense of togetherness to the photo album. - The involvement of the community in various rituals and celebrations highlights the collective spirit of a Sikh wedding. Challenges and How I Overcome Them While photographing Sikh weddings is incredibly rewarding, it does come with its challenges. 1. Managing Multiple Ceremonies With so many events spanning several days, managing time and ensuring that every important moment is captured can be challenging. Overcoming the Challenge: - Planning and preparation are key. Understanding the schedule of events and coordinating with the couple and their families ensures that I am always in the right place at the right time. - Having a second shooter or assistant can be incredibly helpful in covering multiple angles and ensuring that no moment is missed. 2. Respecting Traditions and Customs Sikh weddings involve several religious ceremonies that require a high level of respect and sensitivity. Overcoming the Challenge: - Learning about the customs and traditions beforehand helps in understanding what is acceptable and what is not. Respecting the sanctity of the Gurdwara and the rituals is paramount. - Using silent shooting modes and being unobtrusive during the ceremony helps in maintaining the decorum of the event. 3. Lighting Conditions The lighting can vary greatly, from the dim interiors of the Gurdwara to the bright outdoor events and the often low-light reception venues. Overcoming the Challenge: - Being prepared with the right equipment, such as fast lenses and external lighting, helps in managing different lighting conditions. - Using natural light effectively and knowing how to work with available light sources ensures that the photographs are well-exposed and beautifully lit.

Why Sikh Weddings Inspire Me Sikh weddings inspire me because of their blend of tradition, color, emotion, and community. They are a photographer’s dream, providing a wealth of opportunities to capture beautiful, meaningful moments. 1. The Storytelling Each Sikh wedding tells a unique story. From the intimate moments of the Mehendi to the grandeur of the Anand Karaj and the joy of the reception, every element contributes to a rich narrative. Capturing this story through my lens is incredibly fulfilling. 2. The Human Connection The emotions at a Sikh wedding are genuine and heartfelt. The love between the couple, the joy of the families, and the blessings from the community all create a tapestry of human connection that is beautiful to photograph. 3. The Artistic Expression The vibrant colors, intricate details, and dynamic energy provide endless opportunities for artistic expression. Each shot can be a piece of art, capturing the essence of the celebration in a way that is both beautiful and meaningful.

Conclusion Photographing a Sikh wedding is a truly enriching experience. The vibrancy, traditions, joy, and sense of community make it a unique and rewarding event to capture. At John Alderson Wedding Photography, I cherish the opportunity to be part of such special occasions. The blend of cultural richness and human emotion inspires me and fuels my passion for wedding photography. Each Sikh wedding I photograph is not just an assignment but a journey into a world of love, tradition, and celebration. And that is why I love shooting them.

Karan, in a plain short kurta paired with Patiala pyjamas and a sequinned jacket, looked striking, while Surbhi complemented him in a co-ord black sequin set featuring a crop top, flared palazzo pants, and a shimmering long jacket. The night was filled with dancing and joy as the couple exchanged rings and celebrated with their loved ones.

Chooda Ceremony: A Modern Twist on Tradition

For her chooda ceremony, Surbhi opted for a modern look in a beautiful blush pink sharara set, embellished with silver details. She paired the flared sharara with a short kurta and semi-sheer dupatta, balancing the bling with polki jewellery, including a chic choker and matching earrings. Surbhi’s matte nude makeup look added a touch of contemporary elegance. Karan complemented her perfectly in an ivory kurta set with gold threadwork.

The Wedding: A Spectacle of Love and Elegance

Surbhi’s wedding day was a testament to her unique style and personality. She chose a seagreen bridal lehenga with pink embellishments, designed by Jigar and Nikita. The ensemble featured intricate zardosi and pearl detailing, taking 70 days to complete. Surbhi’s lehenga was paired with a corset-style choli and a pink dupatta with a long trail, tied to her hair to create a princess-like look. Her minimal makeup and open tresses added effortless charm, while statement jewellery, including a maangtika and choker, completed her bridal ensemble. Her golden kaleeras were crafted specially to reflect their love story, adding a personal touch to her attire.

Karan matched Surbhi’s elegance in a sea green wedding sherwani, paired with a jacket and turban. Together, their outfits created a harmonious and stunning look, drawing admiration from everyone present.

Tuxedo Night: Glamour, Glitz, and Romance

Breaking away from traditional wedding customs, Surbhi and Karan opted for a stylish tuxedo night instead of a Sangeet function. The event, themed 'Glamour Glitz & Romance, It’s time for Tuxedo Dance,' was the first celebration after their marriage. Surbhi looked stunning in a sequined one-shoulder dress with a dramatic train, accessorized with elegant gold danglers and black strappy sandals. Her hair was styled in loose waves with a middle parting, exuding sophistication and charm. Karan looked dashing in a white shirt, black pants, and a maroon blazer.
