The Floral Foray

Think of weddings and the entire venue is redolent with flowers.

Enchanting to the eyes, the brilliant colour splashes breathe life into your clichéd ‘picture perfect’ moments. No wedding is complete without flowers, be it artificial or real. Indian wedding and floral decoration is synonymous and forms an indispensable part of Indian rituals. Floral décor is the life of a wedding, not only beautifying the entire venue in numerous hues and colours, but also emitting an aura of love and tranquillity. An elegant and well crafted floral décor sends across a poetic wave of romance and a sense of serenity that envelopes the environs. A symbol of creation and regeneration, flowers are also believed to bring good luck and calm the souls. They have evolved from being a meaningful decorative element to a definite expression of style and mood. This season it is all about the avant-garde floral décor that steals the show.

Over the years floral decorations in Indian weddings have witnessed enormous positive transformation, just like any other element involved in a wedding. “What started as a bouquet of flowers pasted on the walls with Indian Marigold strings, changed to stuffed and loaded décor with endless flowers stuffed in a single place or scattered on the floors,” shares Meeta Gutgutia, Ferns N Petals. With a change in taste and global influence the new age wedding is all about following the traditional rituals with a touch of modernity also flaunting your refined aesthetics. According to Mr. Gautam Vedi, Aura Events, New Delhi, “Flowers can hint both at the formality and the informality, set the mood, and add dimension of both sight and scent to an event.” Elegant approach with a delicate balance of different expressions, add persona to the wedding venue. It gives an illustrious appeal which cannot be matched by any other prop.
