Indian wedding and weddings in the west – a comparison

Posted on April 26, 2013 by scrolladmin

One concept and different ways to celebrate the same – The Marriage celebration. There are many ways in which this wedding ceremony is celebrated all over the world. Some people prefer to celebrate it really large and loud on the contrary others keep it simple and sober.

Indian Wedding in West

Although there is a difference in celebration according to the country as well like if we talk about a country like India – The word itself means lot of celebration, masti time, a week full of celebration and most awaited occasion. In western culture nothing like this happens they prefer to keep this day very simple and a very limited list of friends and relatives is there and it’s a single day celebration.

Indian Bridal

There are many differences in the way of celebrating this big day but the purpose is simply one that is bringing two souls together for life time. If we give a look to the differences in these wedding –

Guest List– In an Indian wedding there is a huge gathering on this occasion; this is the day when all the near as well far relatives will gather together, this is the biggest celebration in ones lifetime. In western culture very limited guest list is there which comprises of very close relatives and friends.

Duration – An Indian wedding starts and lasts at least for a week’s time and this week comprises of various rituals which are performed each day. A western wedding is some hour’s celebrations.

Invitation Cards– One can easily differentiate in invitation cards with a single look as these are so different. The Indian wedding cards are very traditional and holy in their nature and carry detailed information where as western wedding cards are just like any other invitation cards and very limited information is there. They prefer to add the bride and groom pics on the invitation where as same is not done in an Indian wedding. In addition to this there are a variety of these available in India, right from the royal and regal scroll invitations to modern day designer invitation cards, there is a card for everyone.

Outfits – There is a huge difference in the outfit as well as the ambiance of Hindu wedding the place is very traditionally decorated and long with that the outfits which the bride and groom wear are really very traditional where as the outfit for a western wedding is a gown.

Rituals – Indian wedding is full of many rituals which needs to be followed every day where as in an western culture there are no rituals just a commitment in front of a priest and it’s all done.

Venue – Indians always calls for a big venue and good decoration whereas the venue as well as decoration part in a western wedding is very simple and small. Mostly these weddings take place on beaches and churches.

Thus there are many differences in these weddings as every civilization follows their own rituals. But Indian weddings are very much appreciated all over the world and people prefer to opt for a Indian Hindu wedding concept. Even the people in western countries are opting for this type of concept. There are some good things which are there in the western weddings which we also need to add but after all  this is a good symbol for the Indian culture as this is growing not only in there own country but also in western culture.

One such important gift of nature is betel leaf apart from its various medicinal uses it has great importance in Hindu weddings as well. It is an important and auspicious symbol in the weddings and is used in various rituals. The leaf is considered pure and stands for freshness.Betel Leaf in Wedding

In Bengali weddings the bride covers her face with betel leaves and holds her in two hands; the leaf completely covers her face and this is her first step in the process of wedding. In fact, betel leaves are used to initiate weddings; both the households exchange betel leaves when they confirm the wedding. It is at this time that date and venue are fixed for marriage and then the scroll invitations or wedding cards are sent out for printing. Furthermore, when the bride’s side send gifts to the groom’s family they send a basket of red roses decorated with betel leaves this symbolizes purity and happiness. Betel leaves along with flowers add grace to all the gifts and their fragrance is good too. These are also consumed after the meals as they are soothing for the throat and a delicacy to consume. An Indian wedding is considered incomplete without paan and the counters are set in all weddings.

Even wedding cards such as scroll invitations are designed in betel leaf shape and sometimes there are designs on the cards as well. Hindus have a ritual where the betel leaf is tied on the head of both the bride and groom and is later exchanged. These leaves are to be tied throughout the pheras and even at the time when bride reaches her new home. These are kept in puja also and the priest performs all the rituals with these leaves. They are kept in vessels and every now and then the priest pours water through these; they act as the agents of purification and it is believed that the water sprinkled through them makes the place pure and worth worship.

Weddings are considered to be acts which are witnessed by gods themselves and they come to earth and bless the couple; the place where wedding takes place is sanctified and betel leaves play an important role in purifying the same. No puja is complete without the betel leaves.

They are used in all rituals and are integral part of Hindu Pujas. They are considered important because of various other uses they have; they are used in desserts too. Many ice creams and sweet dishes are made out of betel leaves and their taste is mouth watering. Even kids relish the taste and like meetha paan and other sweets made of them. Betel nut is an important delicacy of Thailand and many Thai dishes comprises of betel nut. It has extended its reach not only in Thailand but many other countries that could not resist its tempting taste. Even restaurants these days serve betel leaves at the end to provide a quality and good taste to their customers. Betel leaf has found place in many confectionary items too. The leaf is being used in many things and it has become as important in these things as it is in the weddings.

How Scroll Wedding Invitation Cards Gave A Royal Touch To My Wedding?

Posted on February 21, 2013 by scrolladmin

I was always fascinated towards the stories of kings, queens and fairies from my childhood. I believed that my prince charming would come and sweep me off my feet. Times flies quickly, my prince charming did came, I feel in love in the first glance, now we are engaged, wedding date too is fixed. Now it was time to start making arrangements, being the only daughter my parents wanted this to be royal affair.

Like every girl, I had dreams about my marriage. I find everything about this union of man and woman wonderful, the customs, rituals, beautiful decorated place and most importantly the religious chants amid which the wedding take place with the priest explaining the meaning of each vows to the couple. This journey of selfless love and undying commitment is the blissful moment in a couple’s life. I wanted to start the journey on the right note and wanted to make sure I get what I want.

I always noted that people make sure everything about the wedding is perfect, but one thing where they compromise is the wedding invitation card, I feel it is not a mere way for officially announcing about the upcoming ceremony, but also tells the invitees what to expect. A good invitation card will not only make them happy and privileged, but they are going to remember the event forever.

I have heard a lot about Online Indian Wedding Card Store, so started my hunt from here. First, I entered exclusive card section, the cards were amazing, depending on the card materials like self textured shimmery paper, velvet cloth, wooly paper, and gemstones were used. Clicking more details displayed the complete information such as a code, weight, price, size, information about the paper and the production time. I was enjoying stay on the online card store; next I moved to Laser invitation cards, lately I have been a hearing a lot about it, so here was my opportunity to see them, I was awestruck by the captivating designs on the card, they looked simply incredible and refreshing, it would be right to say these laser cut invitation cards are the flair of the season.

Finally, I moved to scroll section, a simple look on the front page was enough to take me to the era of kings and queens; my heart said this was what I was looking in my wedding invitation. I looked at each card meticulously, went through the details and watched the video.

Although I found all the cards to be captivating, my final choice came up on one scroll wedding invitation made out of purple handmade silk paper and craftily put on a satin gauze cloth with silver design bars on all sides. The casing was an artistic combination of silver textured sheet and purple handmade silk paper; exotic embroidery and Zari work along with Silver Zari ribbon for fastening further enhanced its beauty. I was kind of thrilled after choosing my own marriage invitation card, further I went to order an elegant Thank You Card for genuinely thanking the guests for gracing the occasion.

The cards turned out to be exactly the way they looked on the net, majestically royal. I got a lot of appreciation for the choice, but I whole heartedly knew it would not have been possible without Indian Wedding Invitation Card Store.
