Be Inspired by Tradition :: Cultural Weddings


I love cultural weddings, I guess becasue there is a part of me that is totally a traditionalist. Which cultural weddings are full of, tradition. Love it. So to help all you soon-to-be-brides who are planning the ever challenging "Cultural and Traditional" wedding, specifically an Indian Wedding, here are some helpful links to assist you in your planning.


Hindu Wedding Facts | Hindu wedding ceremonies are traditionally conducted at least partially in Sanskrit, the language in which most holy Hindu ceremonies are conducted. The local language of the people involved is also used since most Hindus cannot understand Sanskrit. They have many rituals that have evolved since traditional times and differ in many ways from the modern western wedding ceremony.

Indian Wedding Facts | Indian weddings are very bright events, filled with ritual and celebration, that continue for several days. They are not small affairs, often with 400-1000 people attending (many of whom are unknown to the bride and groom). Though most Indian marriages are arranged, some couples in urban areas have love marriages. The true Indian wedding is about two families getting wedded socially with much less emphasis on the individuals involved.

Muslim Wedding Ceremony Traditions | Muslim wedding is divided into pre-wedding, wedding and post-wedding rituals. Pre-wedding rituals largely involve the exchange of sweets, fruits and visits to the bride and groom's houses. The pre-wedding rituals increase the level of excitement among the families of the bride and groom, who keenly look forward to the wedding day. The wedding is organized in an elegant and charming way, while the culmination of the entire ceremony, known as post wedding rituals, is special in its own terms.

Buddhist Wedding Ceremony Traditions | Buddhist Religion is known for its simplicity and the same is reflected in its wedding ceremony also. Unlike most of the traditional Indian wedding, the Buddhist wedding is very simple, without any pomp and show. In fact, the Buddhist wedding does not even include any complex rituals. The Buddhist marriage is based more on faith and belief than any religious foundation.
