I was looking for inspiration when designing a friend's tattoo and on a whim started looking up pictures of Indian Bridal Wear. I was completely floored by the beauty of their jewelry, dresses, intricate designs, everything.
"India is a land steeped in culture and traditions. It therefore comes as no surprise that marriages in India are marked by a lot of customs and traditions that are religiously followed to this day. The Wedding Traditions in India are an impressive manifestation of the rich cultural heritage of the country. Interestingly this country is known as much for its unity as for its diversity and this variety is implicit in the Wedding Traditions in India as well.
A series of rites and rituals are followed not only on the day of the wedding but also before and after. However these rites and rituals that are followed are not one and the same throughout the country. Different regions of India follow different customs and each of these customs hold a special meaning and significance. There are some though that are common and the underlying intention of all these customs is the well being of the couple, their happiness, harmony and prosperity."
