The lotus is, indubitably, a special flower. With its symbolic connotations of endurance and chastity, the flower has entrenched itself into the tradition. When it comes to weddings, these soft, velvety blooms are a familiar sight, used amply as they are in marriage decorations. When it comes to the mandatory wedding garland, these prized florals hold a place of reverence and make for gorgeous designer pieces that blend traditional significance with contemporary style harmoniously. Let’s take a look at the stunning range of wedding varmala that can be fashioned from lotus flowers.

 

These garlands make use of fully bloomed lotus blooms that appear all the more distinct because of their lush jewel tones and volume. Captivating in their simplicity, these whole bloom lotus garlands are the choice of the modern couple and of those who lean towards a minimalist aesthetic. They’re a sight to behold in both a pastely, earthy pink and a lovely, soft and vibrant baby pink.

 

 

This proper pink flower garland looks incredibly delicate and stylish, thanks to the subtle tweaking of the petals for a fuller, wide-open look of the blooms, giving them a different texture. Such a floral piece is well-suited for the wedding reception as well.

 

 

These lux garlands are more on the extravagant side with their intricate make. Best paired with jasmine and tuberose for a frilly texture, they make use of golden tissue flowers and greens as accents. These traditional pieces are very popular as varmala and can also be clubbed with another, lighter garland for the double varmala look that appears ostentatious and just right for the big fat Indian wedding spirit.
