Wedding File 2 :Pooja

I think the last post I wrote before the wedding was on the pooja morning and I write the 100th post today about the pooja....

I think what I wrote pretty much sums up that day : "Craziness starts today! I am kind of enjoying sitting back and relaxing while I see my family members running around getting the house ready for the pooja.

Wedding jitters have finally set in. I was numb since the last few weeks but I guess seeing a big tent erected in front of your home kind of puts things in perspective. So every time I feel I am going numb I peek outside at the tent.

Its kind of exciting seeing your home all decked up knowing that behind the beautiful outdoors there are hidden wardrobe stuffed with things that shouldn't be seen."

Pooja turned out to be pretty good although since I am not so religious I slipped out in the middle and came back at the end ;P

This is one of the Saree's I designed

Home Decor for the Wedding

"Ghar ko dulhan ki tarah sajao" becames a famous line near Diwali and its more prominent when there is a wedding that follows it!

An Indian wedding requires the house to dress up as well!

You can use either :

Flowers 

No wedding is complete without flowers! Just make sure if your using floral decoration then use the real ones on the D-day only, so that you don't have to keep buying fresh flowers everyday and otherwise we have such lovely artificial flowers available in the market at all rates!

Earthen pots and Flowering Plants

Potted plants are ofcourse the most environmental friendly way of decorating your home for the wedding. You can choose from having plain soil colored pots to load colorful ones!

or just add these decorative things around the house

Potted flowers can ofcourse vary but I personally recoomend Genda phool coz they dont welt easily and stay 'in bloom' for a longer period of time

Drapes

Drapes doesnt mean just curtains, although do make sure your curtains are pretty and clean. Drapes means drapping layers of fabric across the house front to make it look festive. Ask your tent guy for this. It is the 'in' thing to do!


Colorful Lanterns

Or to make your home a fun place add a lot of colorful lanterns!!!

Add colors all around the house!
Follow a theme or just have a mix of loud jewel colours.

'Shadi ka ghar' should look like one!
