Eternal Flame
Love is the eternal flame that forever burns bright. Celebrate your eternal love with the rich colors of red and gold.

Bouquets of red roses and even red chair covers with gold tie backs are the perfect finishing touch. Turn up the heat at the reception with red and gold table cloths that sizzle under the flickering flame of red heart-shaped candles accompanied by rose petals scattered along the table and a heart-shaped box of rose soaps as a favor for your guests.
Bollywood
Trip the light fantastic at your reception with a celebration of Bollywood. After all, you’re the star and this is your day.

It’s a great theme for a fashion-forward, contemporary bride. And don’t forget to add a little glitz to the tables with elegant wedding centerpieces and monogrammed favor boxes.
Lucky You!
Since elephants are the symbol of good luck, prosperity and longevity, they can make the perfect theme for your Indian wedding. Enhance your theme with elephant carvings on the mandap, elephant statues and miniature “Good Luck” wooden elephant favors, which bring power, strength, patience, wisdom, energy and good fortune to your wedding guests-attributes we’d all love to have. An expert florist can even create an elephant-shaped masterpiece out of flowers for a grand entrance.
Natural Beauty

Against a picture-perfect canvas, decorate your mandap with beautiful floral arrangements and fabric that can flow with the breeze.

Place a covering on the ground and invite guests to sit on colorful pillows instead of chairs for a different view of the ceremony.

Single and double domes can truly customize the look, along with luxurious lighting. Make your royal entrance as the queen for the day as you celebrate your heart for your homeland.
