The Hindu garland ceremony marks the onset of the wedding rituals.  It is the first custom where the bride and groom finally get to meet. Everyone is excited when the couple exchanges garlands. So don’t you think? Efforts should be made to make this moment a memorable one. Gone are the days when a garland ceremony was conducted in a generic manner.  Now, people want to capture every second of their wedding and the jaimala ceremony is not at all neglected. In this blog I have listed some unique ideas that will definitely make this ceremony, the highlight of your wedding.

 

Scavenger hunt

Now this may seem a bit weird but trust me, real fun begins here! If you are someone who loves mystery and adventure you must plan and garland scavenger hunt where both the bride and groom are supposed to find their respective garlands with the help of some clues before actually exchange them. This can be planned by your friends but don’t make it way too hard for the couple. Also, hide the garlands somewhere near the  stage as it won’t be possible for the couple to search the venue.  This activity can also include the guests for they can help the couple in finding the garlands.  Don’t forget to get creative with the clues.

Fireworks

If you want to make the ceremony magical or fairy like, you must  add some fireworks. Nowadays customized fireworks that leave messages in the sky are also available.  This will be enjoyed by everyone and your photos will definitely come out great. Get fireworks that are less noisy and are brighter.  The best option would be eco-friendly fireworks as you might have to use a lot of them.

A Revolving stage

A basic stage is way too cliché. If you want to add some drama,  a revolving stage is the one you should opt for. As the stage  is hydraulically  lifted, the ceremony will be conspicuous to all the guests.  Mark the spot where the couple will stand so the weight is disturbed evenly and there is no chance of misbalance. Fireworks can also be added but don’t forget to check all the equipment before the main ceremony so that it happens smoothly in one go.

Over a bridge

If you are planning your wedding at a farm house and that farm house or an outdoor venue  happens to have a small bridge,  make sure to use it for the garland ceremony. For this you don’t have to arrange an extra stage and the bridge will make the ceremony clearly visible to everyone. Decorate the edges of the bridge with tons of flowers and fairy lights to make it aesthetic. Floating candles can be put in the water under the bridge to complete the scenery.

 

I am sure,  by now you must have picked your favorite idea for the wedding. And trust me! These are not that hard to get right as such ideas are a hit these days. So get inspired, as a great jaimala  ceremony will surely make your wedding the talk of the town.
