Indian Wedding Invitations Can Vary In Styleby Phoenix DelrayIndian wedding invitations come in different types but most are a bit more distinctive than traditional American style ones. These types tend to have quite a bit more embellishment as reflected in all the other aspects of South Asian style weddings. These types of weddings feature a lot of style and interesting detail in almost all aspects. The decor will feature traditional elements like religious icons, canopies or other things unique to this style. The clothing that the bride and groom wear will be a specific style and full of colorful detail. Unlike American brides who wear white dresses, Indian brides will generally wear colorful outfits that are usually composed of three separate garments. Their clothing will be covered with embellishment like embroidery, stonework or other details. The bride may wear very ornate jewelry such as earrings, bracelets, anklets or a dangle that hangs over her forehead. Other details often include mendhi. This is a hand painted design that uses henna, a plant based coloring. The designs for these are generally found on the hands and feet of the bride. Some couples will choose to use traditional scroll wedding invitations. These represent a royal style called Farman and have been used for centuries to capture the attention of the invitees. This type makes a definite statement. Some of these may be made from handmade papers, vellum or velvet. Because these can be more expensive that other types of invitations, they may not be suitable for all couples.
Other couples will want traditional styling in types that can easily be mailed. These are not usually the bland white, ecru or ivory found in most places that handle wedding invitations. These may be bright colors such as magenta with golden scroll type embellishment. Many of these modern Indian wedding invitations will be brightly colored with lots of rich detail like leaf motifs, scrolls or other designs that will also be carried over onto the envelope. A third option for Indian couples that are getting married in the United States is to find a hybrid version. While they may wish to honor their background, they may also want something a little tamer than the traditional styles. These couples may decide to select a style that has a white, or off white, background but has traditional motifs for design. Many times couples can find products like these at the sites that have traditional clothing. These sites can be a wealth of information about finding all the right elements to help make the event very memorable. Indian wedding invitations are just one of the many products people can find here.
