A Journey of Roots, Rituals &Â Reunion
Travelling from the UK to India for a wedding is an emotional return to heritage rather than a single-day event. Indian weddings unfold over multiple days, often hosting over 100 guests across pre-wedding, wedding, and post-wedding celebrations. These extended gatherings allow families to reconnect, honour traditions, and celebrate togetherness at a pace that reflects their cultural depth.
India’s Enduring Appeal for Destination Weddings
A destination wedding in India is defined by its diversity, ranging from royal palaces to contemporary 5-star venues. Every ceremony is layered with ritual, music, decor, and regional cuisine, creating experiences unmatched elsewhere.
Day 1: Pre-wedding Celebrations
The Mehendi ceremony adorns the bride’s hands with intricate henna, symbolising prosperity and joy, followed by a lively Sangeet evening of music and dance. Particularly popular in North India, Punjabis also celebrate a similar gathering known as Dholki, fostering early bonding among families.
Day 2: The Sacred Wedding Day
- The morning begins with Haldi, where turmeric paste is applied to the couple as a symbol of purification, blessings, and auspicious beginnings. Friends and family traditionally wear shades of yellow and orange, setting a festive tone for the day.
- The groom’s procession, known as the Baraat or Ghodi in some communities, follows next. Traditionally arriving on horseback, modern grooms may opt for luxury cars, accompanied by music, DJs, or live bands as guests join the procession.
- The Milni ceremony formally unites both families as elders exchange garlands and symbolic tokens, reflecting mutual respect and acceptance. This moment is often highlighted by the meeting of both fathers, signifying the joining of two households.
- The Vivaah solemnises the marriage through sacred rituals such as Kanyadaan, Jaimala, Mangalsutra and Sindoor, and the Saat Phere, where 7Â vows are taken around the holy fire. These vows represent shared responsibilities, companionship, and spiritual unity, concluded with blessings from elders.
Day 3: Post-wedding Celebrations
The reception evening brings the celebrations to a refined close with curated dining, decor, and entertainment. This is followed by Vidaai, one of the most emotional moments, as the bride departs with blessings, often carrying her trousseau filled with keepsakes for her new journey.
Why India Continues to Inspire NRI Weddings?
A destination wedding in India offers more than spectacle; it provides a meaningful way for families abroad to reconnect with their roots. Rituals passed down through generations, combined with professional hospitality, transform weddings into deeply personal cultural homecomings. These celebrations leave families with memories shaped by identity, joy, and belonging.
