Traditional Indian Wedding: Dispelling myths & Tips on How to Budget a traditional Indian Wedding:

You have popped ‘The Question’ & the answer was “Yes, I will!” Now you are planning a wedding and the question is what kind of wedding to have? If you are the kinds, who like colors, rituals, traditions & flamboyance then the Indian wedding, is the perfect way to celebrate the biggest occasion of your life.

If you still have apprehensions and are wondering that Indian weddings are rudimentary and boring then you really, need to check your facts twice. The Big Fat Indian wedding has changed dramatically. From an elaborate traditional affair that involved the family and community for days at a stretch, it is now as much a celebration of beauty & romance and an occasion for friends/family to get together and have a great time. I have noticed that earlier Indian weddings were about the best five star hotels, a heavy designer lehenga (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_dress#Lehenga.2C_choli.2C_and_odhani) & chunky jewellery with elaborate invites. Today, all this has been fine-tuned to a different level and the ceremonies have a modern twist. The functions now include more fun, and are events that are more social. In fact, off late even the guests get all the pampering with shopping expeditions, Folk performances, desert safaris and cruises, as part of the wedding entertainment.

To add to the twist, dance choreographers are either coming in for on-stage performances or training the family members for a dance night (sangeet). Community and regional origins are no longer a parameter for hosting a wedding function. Thanks to the ellaborate portrayals in Indian cinema, you can enjoy every aspect of the marriage in a unique way.

Ok, so you are sold on the Indian wedding. However, are wondering what is a Traditional Indian wedding and how big a hole it will burn in your wallet? Let us start with what Tradition Indian (Hindu) wedding must are. Commonly a traditional Indian wedding is a three-day affair with a host of events.

1. The ceremony starts with offering prayers to Lord Ganesha.
2. This is followed by The Tilak, (the sacred mark on forehead) ceremony. Following the Tilak is the Mehendi Ceremony. Tilak & mehendi are hosted on a single day mostly.
3. The next function is the Sangeet: This is a entertainment evening where family members and Artistes perform to music ranging from Bollywood to folk.
4. The next function is the wedding ceremony.
5. Last but not the least is a Reception dinner.

(You can read more about The Traditional Indian wedding on my soon to be launched website: www.theroyalshaadi.com)

Hence, at the least one needs 3 to 4 days to host a truly enjoyable & memorable traditional Indian wedding.

How to budget a traditional Indian wedding:

1. Keep in mind that you are talking about 3 days of fun & frolic hence the budget must be planned day wise & function wise

2. The first thing to be decided is the number of guests per day + No. of rooms+ No. of meals per day per guest (Meals apart from the ceremony meals) + Transportation & ceremony venue/venues

3. One of the foremost in your budgeting is setting up an amount for The Bridal trousseau/groom’s attire & Jewelry/accessories for bride and/or groom ; invitations & announcements, Music, photography & videography, gifts for relatives

4. Next comes the budgeting for ceremony lunches & dinners

5. Please put aside a separate budget for Flowers/ décor/lighting

6. If you are not cutting corners then set aside a good amount of money for entertainment & wow elements!

7. Last but not the least don’t forget your wedding consultant fee!

For a common man, the great Indian wedding is an enticing dream world. Every girl’s heart nurtures the dream of marrying off amidst pomp and flamboyance. The ostentation and hype that an exotic designer wedding enjoys doesn’t come without a cost. Yes the grand-traditional Indian weddings come at the cost of your fortune, if you are not Midas or a treasure owner. Briefly, a great Indian traditional wedding for 200 guests will not cost you less than $ 150000!

The Different Types of Jewelry Loops and Clasps

Checking with vendors' offerings and with the very knowledgeable salespeople at my work, I could find no particular "name" for a necklace like you described. Various styles of necklaces do incorporate a clasp as part of the decorative lower part but these are not what you are looking for. These are the "lariat" styles in which one end of the chain is longer than the other, fitting through the shorter end.

My suggestion for a front mounted clasp and pendant:

Any competent jeweler should be able to modify a chain to do like you want. The catch to the clasp situation is having an attractive clasp arrangement so all works together to look nice on the neck. If looks are not important, then any sturdy clasp will work, such as a 'lobster claw' or a sturdy 'spring ring' clasp.

One alternative to the regular clasp styles is the folded metal wire 'hook style' clasp. The wire is bent into a loop so the open end is slightly against the other side, making for a neat friction fit where the pendant loop is slid into. An example of this style is on the following website. Scroll down and on the right side you will see 'NBd109 Aquamarine nugget' in a description. Look at the clasp. This is a simple folded wire hook arrangement.

Using this style of clasp, a pendant may be permanently attached to one end of the same style (with the hook soldered shut) and then the other side may be slid onto the pendant loop to fasten the chain together.

Using Spring Ring and Lobster Claw Clasps: These are the typical clasps used in necklaces. The lobster claw style is superior in strength.

For clasp like this to work properly, the pendant will need a loop going the correct direction. Imagine that the cross pendant is placed flat on a table surface. The loop on the pendant should lay flat also. In other words, the front view of the pendant will show the 'looking through the hole' view of the loop on the pendant.

One side of the chain is attached permanently to the loop (left flexible, of course, attached with another loop of metal) and the clasp will be attached to the loop. With the loop on the pendant facing as I described, all will hang properly. Obviously, if the loop on the pendant faces the other way, like it would to simply slip over a chain, the pendant will be pulled sideways when the clasp is attached.

As an alternative to changing the loop already on a pendant, an additional loop may be formed and soldered shut, going through the pendant loop. This will give the pendant more 'movement' when worn and will take care of the direction problems.

Ask a jeweler: As I said before, any jeweler competent enough to solder sterling silver should easily be able to take a chain of almost any style and modify it to have a 'front' closing clasp which on one way or the other attaches to the loop(or loops) of the pendant. The attractiveness of the overall piece will depend on the clasp used.

It is possible to use two clasps of a decorative style with one on each side of the pendant loop. The hook style clasps work quite well visually but are not as secure as spring loaded types like the lobster claw. Still, the hook style might be best for appearance sake. These solutions will keep the clasp and the pendant in front without the problem of 'roaming clasps' that wind up somewhere on the collar bone or so when worn.

All about a great Royal Palace wedding:

Imagine a wedding amidst architectural marvels built centuries ago. Imagine celebrating the biggest occasion of your life inside splendid structures from the past that stand strong even today. Taking your vows in scenic settings that exhibit magnificent charm and exuberance could be quite a thing.

Let me describe a typical Indian Royal Palace wedding to all you to be married couples. A typical Indian Royal Palace wedding starts with the Baraat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baraat). Its not a regular Baraat that we are talking about. The Groom sits in an elaborately decorated elephant and following him are friends and family in a Royal Procession. The procession is a very elaborate display and in order for you to understand it better, below is a brief description of the various items in the procession.

1. The Groom’s Elephant: The elephant with the Groom heralds the official start of the Royal Procession.
2. Pahalwan Ka Hathi : Elephant with the Royal Wrestler- It is symbolic of Hanuman (Monkey God-Chief of the Army of Lord Rama).
3. Royal Band: Now comes the Royal Band.
4. Top Gadi : The Royal Cannon with cart is carried by a pair of oxen.
5. Decorated Elephants: There are two decorated elephants with exquisite cloth hangings.
6. Camel with Jujurba (Camel Guns)
7. Victoria Buggy : The horse driven Victoria.
8. Decorated Camels : These camels are decorated with gorband (Jeweled Fixtures).
9. Goda Sawar : Horses decorated with saddles, harnesses bids etc.
10. Chob Dars : Silver staff bearers. These foot soldiers announce the Royal Message.
11. Mahadol : Covered Palanquin with a single bar.
12. Pinjas : Palanquin with a single bar with the seat having movable sliding doors.
13. Palki : Palanquin with two parallel bars used with no veil.
14. Rath (Roshan Chowki): Oxen driven carriage caring musicians.

Once the Baraat arrives the wedding venue, (A Palace/Fort) comes the Reception of Baraat. Exquisitely dressed women showering flowers and ittar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ittar) receive all the guests. Post this, traditionally dressed men & women garland the guests and offer welcome drinks.

Men with burning torches line up the walkway, there are folk performers and exotic dancers wooing your guests all evening. To enhance the evening a full-blown laser show with fireworks is a common element. The Palaces are mostly decorated for weddings using flowers, drapes and lights and to enhance the look a lot of antique furniture and decorative items are used.

The highlight of Royal Palace weddings is the variety and number of dishes served and the way food is served by Royal service members. It is mostly a sit down dinner arrangement and food is served in silverware.

Do you still have second thoughts about choosing a Royal Palace Wedding?

Great Tips for your Bachelor’s party.

I realized off late I have been doing all the stories focusing on the brides wherein grooms have equal importance in the Wedding affaire. Hence, today I am writing a story focusing on the Grooms to be and what better subject to pick than ‘The Bachelor’s party’.

Just a few months back I attended a bachelor’s at The Steam- the lounge of Taj Rambagh Palace (http://www.lhw.com/property.aspx?propertyid=446&Ext=Goberudv&gclid=CLiArNH4kZMCFQvWbgodLgUB6Q). This was a glorious event. One of the prime reasons for the bash to be a great success, was the fact that the venue was great. This lounge bar on wheels is the finest watering hole in town. Its Mediterranean ambience is cozy and intimate despite being zesty with low-slung couches, snug seating and plenty of space to relax and unwind. Lesson number one for planning a bachelor’s party, do not compromise on the venue.

To add to the high spirits, there were exotic Russian & Arabian dancers. (Nothing cheap or vulgar but very elegant girls dancing to lilting music). However, I left early so I missed witnessing all the fun the boys must have had. Lesson number two: Enhancing the evening is necessary; entertainment must be added to all the spirits.

The snacks and the selection of drinks were excellent. The organizer made sure that there was something for every one. There were wines, beer, scotches, liqueurs, shots, irresistible mocktails & cocktails and snacks comprised of world cuisine: Lebanese, Mexican, Italian & of course Indian. Lesson number three: Plan well for the food & drinks. Make sure you know your guests well and keep their taste in mind.

Last but not the least; make sure that your wedding planner gets all licenses and permissions for hosting the event so you do not run into a legal fiasco. It is necessary to acquire a liquor license, music license, police permission and ensure the venue has measures to combat mishaps from fire or electricity and of course the friends who get drunk. Please clarify this part with your planner before finalizing an event.
