Ways to Have a Bollywood-Inspired Wedding

Include a Bollywood Theme

Make your engagement party or the cocktail party a lot more interesting by asking people to come dressed like their favourite Bollywood characters from iconic films. Or you could also choose an era, such as the 90s – and ask people to seek inspiration from it, telling them to turn to the hits from those times such as Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge.

Dance to Famous Bollywood Tracks

For your sangeet, ensure that all your relatives pick songs synonymous with Bollywood. You can either choose to go retro or keep things contemporary or even mix everything up. Make sure you ask your choreographer to incorporate famous dance steps into your routine to treat everyone to a sense of nostalgia. It’s a great idea to re-watch certain clips and go over them again with your family. It’ll be a lot of fun too!

Have Fun with Old Films

You could include this as a part of the entertainment section. Hold screenings - a mash-up of famous scenes from old movies or enact them with your fiancé (e). It’ll be a lovely little surprise for your wedding guests. You can even choose to screen a couple of movies with the extended families for a fun relaxed night during the festivities.

Photo-Booth Tales

There’s a lot you can do in this department. Choose legendary dialogues from Bollywood films and put up placards everywhere coupled with fake moustaches and more. You can ask people to pose with them. There are several options for you to explore – you can even select funny placards with famous Bollywood personalities on them. It’ll give plenty of room for a lot of fun for the wedding guests and crazy photographs for the wedding album.

Seek Inspiration from Your Favourites

There are many ways to get this done. Either include popular wedding games from some of the best Bollywood films or include special curated tracks for all your ceremonies especially the mehendi and sangeet ceremonies. You can also choose to have your outfit customized by seeking inspiration from some of your favourite Bollywood heroines. Remember that you don’t need to worry about the rules too much – this is your wedding and you should have fun with it!
