Remember movies like Band Baja Baarat and Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai and their grand wedding decorations? You can also have a Bollywood wedding inspired décor for your own wedding. From classy to royal, Bollywood has done it all. Choose any one of them and get married in style.

Another thing that you can do is set a Bollywood inspired theme and decorate the venue with movie posters or give it a red carpet feel.

2. Plan a grand Bollywood style entrance

The bride and groom’s entrance is a big part of a wedding. You can easily give it a grand spin by adding a dance performance for the couple on any trending top 20 new song options that fit the vibe you want to create.

The groom can enter on Tenu Leke Mein Javanga from the movie Salam E Ishq. The bride can dance to catchy songs like Kala Chashma and enter the venue. They can also enter sitting in vintage cars, a lotus carriage or, for a full on Bollywood shaadi effect, the bride can enter on a horse!

3. Pose like royalty

Wedding pictures are the only way to keep the memories of a wedding alive even after a long time. They are the treasure we are left with after the celebrations are over. Bollywood has always inspired us to behave like royalty and feel like kings and queens.

You can easily add a Bollywood wedding feel to your wedding by getting your pictures clicked in royal poses that will live on forever with you. Apart from these, you can get a pre-wedding shoot on a scooter because we feel movies have made them sexier for us.

4. Bollywood loves destination weddings

It’s not only Bollywood movies like Shandar and Student of the Year that have given us the idea of having extravagant destination weddings in exotic locations like Bangkok, but also the real lives and weddings of these stars.

Recently, we saw a few big fat Indian weddings in Italy and Udaipur, giving us major life goals. Now, we know not everyone can afford these weddings, but you can have own Bollywood wedding in any destination of your choice away from your home.

5. No Bollywood shaadi is complete without a dance off

One thing that Bollywood has given us in abundance is upbeat songs, catchy dance moves, and the brilliant idea of a dance off competition between the bride and groom’s family. Nothing is more typical and fun than facing off in a dance battle and coming out as winners.

If you were looking for ideas to turn your wedding in a Bollywood wedding, you have to organise a competition and dance to the latest songs! You can add Bollywood related gifts like posters, or movie hampers!

6. Add Bollywood-inspired games to your wedding ceremonies

We all remember the Antakshri scene in Hum Apke Hain Koun! We loved the flirty nature of the game in the movie. Madhuri’s character, Nisha, uses it to express her love for Prem aka Salman Khan. It was also used in another movie of Salman Khan called Meine Pyar Kia. You can do the same.

Add games like Antakshri and dumb charades to your Haldi or Mehndi function to make it a part of your funky Bollywood wedding. You can even make them a competition between team groom and team bride. These games will not only increase the fun quotient but also allow everyone to bond in a more relaxed environment.

It is very easy to have a typical big fat Indian Bollywood wedding using these ideas that are inspired by the movies and the real life of Bollywood actors. If you have any more ideas, let us know in the comments section below!
