Theme weddings are getting a way of life and Indian metros are already witnessing uncommon weddings like- Weddings in Amusement Parks, Weddings in Yachts and many more.

Candle light has been the most romantic theme for lovers worldwide. Imagine you exchange your vows a thousand candles around you. This happens not just in Bollywood movies and songs!

Shijo and Jacquline from Mavelikkara, exchanged their vow in such a romantic atmosphere. The entire hall was lit with 1500 candles coiled in gold and tumblers. The candled walls burned for 3 hours and there were no additional lighting in the hall! A fountain as a centre piece and a crystal pillar completes a perfect romantic backdrop for tying the knot!

Wedding backdrops are always thought of romantic, flowery or awe inspiring. But have you ever thought of getting married in a jungle amidst mountains, trees, tribals and water ways? Yes, Athish and Nima from Karunagappally, dreamt about their wedding in this way.

The wedding reception held at Royal Gardens, Harippad was set in a jungle theme. The guests had to pass through a 40 mtrs long tunnel right from the gate to the venue. Being a night event, the venue was dim lit, with artificially erected trees all around, and sounds of animals, insects and gurgling streams instead of music. Tribal men dressed in a niche greeted the guests and danced in the backdrop with jungle sound effects. The entire 4000 sq ft venue had several jungle niches and streams, and the couple were seated under a huge mushroom.

The theme doesn’t end with just settings. A jungle café served several traditional dishes which were carefully picked. The couple was thoughtful even about the wedding invitation; it was a wooden invitation

We speak contemporary everywhere; for our buildings, interiors, music and even fashion. Can a wedding theme be contemporary? Yes, says, Akash and Neil from Kochi. Their wedding held at Hotel Le Meridian, Kochi was based on a demand of a contemporary theme.

Contemporary designs are either asymmetrical or funky. A contemporary wedding was planned for the couple with a decor which is far from the usual floral patterns and arches. The stage design replicated a contemporary interior and so were the niches which are complete with pyrotechnics and performances. The variety entertainment stages were also selective which included the first ever bubble dance staged in Kerala by Russian artists.

As each year passes, weddings in India seem to become more and more over the top. So in the days coming can we expect Kerala weddings happening in private helicopters, houseboats and yachts soon?
