These decorations are not restricted only to the venue, rather they run throughout the wedding schedule starting from the invitation cards, the entrance of the marriage halls to the actual interiors where the wedding will take place, the dining hall, even to the food choice and the thamboolam and return gifts to the invitees. Even the choice of gifts (seeru varisai) is influenced by the theme!
While the basic setting is one of auspiciousness with intrinsic colours of gold and maroon running as a recurrent theme with lots of flowers added contributing to this feel, people are going beyond these traditional colours to evoke a mood of festivity, looking out for options to make this occasion memorable.
One such theme is the Radha-Krishna motif with the peacock feathers' colours running concurrently throughout the mandap. The basic colours of blue and green and their hues are used to decorate the marriage hall, with the background colour being blue and gold added for symbolizing auspiciousness and prosperity.
If you want a royal look then the props have to befit royalty. Primary colours would be red and gold and both the bride and the groom will sit on thrones set up on a raised dais. The ambience would be one of a durbar of a king.
Another common theme is having a red or maroon backdrop with flower decorations to augment that rich look. Besides exuding freshness, these flowers emanate a pleasant fragrance keeping the hall sweet-smelling. Nothing like fresh flowers to keep a room fragrant.
Planning a spring theme - use lots of flowers. Flowers symbolize prosperity and bountifulness. They give a spring feel and exude warmth. Also, they are readily available and can be used innovatively. There could be flower curtains, bouquets fixed to walls, pillars - the options are immense.
For that ethereal look, erect temporary gold pillars, drape net and gauze meshes and transparent veils for a surreal atmosphere. After all, it is said that marriages are made in heaven!
If you want it hassle free, then hire out colour shamianas - there are plenty of mirror worked, zardosi embossed, and bhandini printed tents in different textures available to give a mela look.
Ice carvings and sculptures are quite common in most weddings. So are vegetable carvings and designs. Besides being eco-friendly, these methods also provide an outlet for creativity and imagination and also sending a social message.
Decor and theme based decorations are a fad in today's society due to various influences. These can be done in any budget and the expanse is defined by the availability of funds. But the most important thing is that marriage by itself is a happy occasion. Nothing can detract the joy out of it. The frills are just tools to magnify the happiness - measures employed to augment the wedding bliss.
So, the importance of decoration is that besides giving a look of prosperity and auspiciousness, it also makes the guests feel welcome and hospitable. This feeling of happiness creates an aura of goodwill and good luck to the couple which is essential for them who are entering a new phase of their lives for posterity.
