#indian wedding trousseau

[triviareads]

have you watched the new simone ashley romcom yet?

I can FINALLY answer this because I just finished! Final thoughts on Picture This:

it basically succeeded in what Simone Ashley was saying in a lot of interviews, namely the idea of a South Asian woman being your classic romcom lead without harping on the South Asian-ness of it all. Pia's a mess but endearingly so— she dresses like millennial frazzled Englishwoman, is way behind on her photography studio rent and is facing eviction, but she still has big dreams!

The romance felt so secondary and there was no... chemistry... between Simone and Hero Fiennes Tiffin. Nothing cringy, but it just wasn't there. @viscountessevie was right when they said the only reason Pia ends up with Charlie is because the other dates were That Bad, and even then, she still had more chemistry with a couple of the other guys (see: Nikesh Patel).

re. the first point, to be clear, a big fat Indian wedding still is the background of the entire movie, and you do see some pretty standard cultural depictions (and not so standard ones! Pia's parents are divorced and are finding/have found love again!)— I'm not particularly inclined to be very critical of the astrologer portrayal because while not all of them are as... outwardly ridiculous, I have experienced them saying some pretty wack stuff, some of which, to be fair, WAS ACCURATE, the other stuff... not so much.

I do have to laugh at Pia and her sister's surprise when their mom pulls out the gold from the bank vault. Like come on babes.... desi girls know where they stand on their trousseau/inheritance WAY earlier than that. But points for the relatability of running to the bank every time there's a big event to get out the Good Jewelry.

Mixed to negative feelings on the Indian clothes— most of it felt too simple for bride/maid of honor outfits, and one of Pia's lehengas veered far too close to a Patil-Twin-Yule-Ball moment. YES I WENT THERE. Also, the *sacrilege* of Pia not wearing a bindi half the time... INCLUDING when she's at the mandap.

Hi Ambrose <333 can you talk to me about some Marathi wedding traditions? (Its for very important prongsfoot research 🙏🙏 thank youu)

Ooh yay Marathi weddings! I love them! Let's get started right away!

First things first: Indian weddings are almost festivals in their own right. There is a lot going on during wedding season, and it all condenses down into a very chaotic week that makes you feel like you're stuck in a whirlwind you never want to get out of.

I'm going to go off of my experiences with Big Fat Indian Weddings (which: I've seen many of those, each and every wedding I've been to has had around 2500 guests), so buckle up.

There are many rituals and events in an Indian wedding, and you can pick and choose which events you want, or you can have all of them, it's entirety up to you. There used to be regional traditions to weddings before, but now they are blending together, for example: Sangeet is a typically Punjabi affair when it comes to weddings, but every Maharashtrian celebration I've been to has held a Sangeet.

I'm going to give a sort of overview of all the things that take place and in which order, so here goes:

The Lagnaach Bedior: before any festivities begin, the horoscopes (Patrika) of the bride and groom are matched before any events. The family of the bride and groom get together and call on a family priest who checks their Patrika and details them out, offering advice for any difficulties that they may face in married life.

Then comes the Muhurta Medha; where the families of the bride and groom to be plant a tree as an auspicious beginning.

The wedding season starts with— you guessed it— an engagement ceremony. In Marathi, it is called Sakhar Puda (Sakhar– sugar, puda– packet) or Vangnishchay (verbal agreement). The bride is gifted with packets of sugar, clothing and jewellery, and the groom is given coconut, gold/silver coins, and clothes as well. The sugar signifies a sweet beginning of the marriage. Engagement rings, while not traditionally a Hindu thing, are also exchanged by the bride and groom to be.

Sometimes, a family may choose to have a pre- Sakhar Puda mehendi ceremony, it's not very common. A mehendi ceremony is when women who are invited to the wedding (hint: a lot of women) get together for a day to get their hands stained with mehendi. The bride is the star of the show, and her mehendi usually goes up to her biceps, and even her feet are stained. This is in general a very relaxed setting, with lots of cushions to lounge on and lots of food and refreshments (as is typical of any Indian get together lol food is important). A mehendi is always held before the main ceremony of marriage vows, though.

After the Vangnishchay comes the Muhurta— the priest is called once again, and this time a specific time is fixed for the beginning of the ceremony of vows. And then, the preparations begin in earnest, months before the wedding day.

Five Savashani (a married woman; the Hindi word is Suhasini) are invited by the bride’s mother on an auspicious day. They make turmeric powder and Sandege (pulses and spice powder) in mortar and pestle to be used later in the wedding, and Papad is rolled for eating. The women then hold a Rukhwat by decorating artistically and exhibiting bridal lehengas and sarees, jewellery, kitchen utensils, sweets and all sorts of bridal trousseau as a part of the wedding rituals of Maharashtra.

Next: the Sangeet! Sangeet is held anywhere between two days to a week before the ceremony of vows. There is food, lots of music and dancing to both traditional wedding songs and Bollywood songs, and it's generally a time for people to come together and have as much fun as possible. They're possibly my favourite part of weddings. (They're also not traditionally Maharashtrian, they're Punjabi, but lots of families still do it.)

Sometimes, the pre wedding mehendi is done right alongside the Sangeet, and other times it is done a either the day after Sangeet or after Kelvan (explained below). Again, lots of women come together and draw mehendi designs on their hands. Bridal mehendi goes all the way up to the biceps, and the feet are also decorated. It's very fun.

After the Sangeet comes the Kelvan, where the parents of the bride and groom to be invite each other's family for a meal. Gifts are given and aarti-puja for the Kuldevta (family deities) is performed, and in general it is a very simple yet beautiful affair. This is typically done two or three days before the wedding. The Kelvan ceremony invite also includes close family and relatives from both sides. The idea behind the ritual is to show respect and know each other better.

The day before— or sometimes the morning of, depending on the auspicious time— the ceremony of wedding vows, a Halad Chadawat is held. The bride and groom's respective families rub turmeric powder and water into their skin with the help of freshly picked mango leaves. It's a playful event, with lots of laughter and pranks. Halad (turmeric) is used for cleansing and purifying one's body before entering into a holy matrimony. It symbolizes the happy start of a new life together, and is said to protect the couple from any bad omens that may harm them before the wedding.

Now comes the actual wedding. This one's a doozy muahaha!

The day begins with a Puja of the Lord Ganpati, who is always honoured and worshipped at the beginning of any venture (there is a myth behind this, if you want to know). After the Ganpatidev Puja, the Kuldevta is also invoked to bless the couple.

The groom enters the venue of the wedding with a procession on the back of a horse, sometimes with a sword and scabbard strapped to his waist. The Seemant Puja is performed. The bride's mother washes the groom's feet and gifts are given to the groom's family by the bride's family.

The bride, wearing either a red or a yellow wedding Shalu (a type of saree) and with a Mundavalya (a string of pearls or flowers) tied across her forehead, performs the Gaurihar Puja with her parents. Rice is placed on the idol’s head as mantras and shlokas are recited. Prayers to the Goddess Parvati for a happy and prosperous married life are said.

The Antarpat ritual is the main one. A silk shawl is hung between the bride and groom while the Brahmin chants the mantras.

After the Antarpat comes the Sankalp, where the silk shawl is removed after the mantras are finished. The guests showers the newly married couple with Akshata (unbroken rice grains) to bless them with a happy marriage.

The Kanyadaan follows: here, the father of the bride gives her hand to the groom, who ties a mangalsutra around her neck and applies sindoor (red powder) to her forehead. The bride presses chandan (sandalwood) to the groom's forehead in return.

For the Saptapadi, the couple takes seven rounds around the holy fire. The bride is required to touch seven betel nuts placed on top of small mounds of rice with her right foot. Once the seven rounds are done, she places her foot on a grindstone, while the groom holds her hand or foot, symbolizing that she needs to be strong and he will always support her.

The bride’s father along with the couple pray to god for blessings in the Karmasamaapti (meaning "end of the act")

A grand feast fit for royalty follows the wedding ceremony, and there is again a lot of dancing and music. A separate Reception is also held, which is just another party so that the bride and groom— who had been busy with the wedding itself— can mingle with everyone who had attended.

.

.

And this is it! That's your traditional wedding! It's a lot of fun, and i absolutely love attending functions like these!

I hope you got what information you wanted, and my asks are always open for any questions anyone may have. Go ahead, people, don't be shy! If anything is missing or I've gotten something wrong and you notice it, please go ahead and correct me or add on, it'll be much appreciated.

Occasion Suitability: These sarees are ideal for North Indian weddings and grand celebrations, offering a majestic look.

Why Buying Bridal Polki Jewellery Online Makes Sense?

One of the most significant items in Indian weddings happens to be bridal jewellery. It is not just an adornment brides wear to look beautiful; it is a symbol of the heritage and opulence that weddings are pretty much about. And when it comes to making choices of what jewellery one should go for, polki jewellery, due to its unceasing charm, holds a special place in a bride’s trousseau. This handcrafted jewellery, set in uncut diamonds, exudes enduring charm. Today, with the convenience of digital shopping, more brides are opting to purchase bridal polki jewellery online, and here’s why it makes perfect sense.

Shopping for polki jewellery online in India offers access to a vast array of designs that may not be available at a single physical store. Online platforms showcase exclusive collections from renowned jewellers, making it easier for brides to find unique pieces that match their bridal attire perfectly. Whether you are looking for a grand choker, an elegant maang tikka, or a dazzling pair of earrings, online stores present a variety of options curated for every taste and style.

The Art of Pelli Poola Jada: Where Culture Meets Elegance

In the vibrant tapestry of Indian weddings, few elements embody tradition and elegance as beautifully as the Pelli Poola Jada. This exquisite hair adornment, crafted from fresh flowers, holds a special place in the bridal trousseau, especially in South Indian weddings. Rooted in deep cultural significance, the Poola Jada not only enhances the bride's beauty but also symbolizes prosperity, happiness, and new beginnings.

Everything you need to know about Poola Jada 

The Cultural Significance

The tradition of adorning the bride's hair with flowers dates back centuries and is deeply ingrained in South Indian customs. In Telugu and Tamil weddings, the bride's long braid is beautifully decorated with an array of fragrant flowers such as jasmine, roses, and marigolds, woven intricately to create stunning designs. The Poola Jada is more than just a decorative element; it signifies the bride's transformation into a married woman, representing fertility and divine blessings.

Designs and Patterns

Over the years, Pelli Poola Jada designs have evolved, blending tradition with modern aesthetics. Traditionally, the adornment features concentric floral arrangements that cascade down the bride's braid, often interspersed with gold or pearl embellishments. Modern brides, however, are opting for innovative designs that incorporate themes such as peacock motifs, temple jewelry patterns, and personalized initials.

The Craftsmanship

Creating a Poola Jada requires meticulous skill and artistry. Florists and artisans spend hours meticulously selecting fresh flowers, ensuring they complement the bride's attire and overall wedding theme. The process involves weaving flowers onto a base thread, layering them in intricate patterns to achieve a visually appealing and long-lasting effect. The fragrance of the flowers not only enhances the bride's aura but also adds a divine touch to the wedding ambiance.

Modern Trends

While the essence of Poola Jada remains rooted in tradition, modern brides are embracing variations to suit their personal styles. Some prefer artificial flowers for durability, while others incorporate crystals and beads to add a touch of glamour. Additionally, brides are experimenting with color combinations beyond the conventional red and white, opting for pastel hues and vibrant shades to match their bridal ensemble.

Conclusion

The Pelli Poola Jada is a timeless symbol of tradition, beauty, and cultural heritage. Whether traditional or contemporary in design, it continues to be an essential part of a South Indian bride's wedding attire, beautifully merging culture with elegance in every bloom.
