You will understand culture of different communities and states in India which is slightly different from others (although all follow Hindu wedding which is generally based on Vedic wedding customs) in terms of style of cloths, jewellery style, accessories and make-up. Watch following selected episodes which are picked up from EAST, WEST, NORTH and SOUTH (regions of India) style Indian bridal makeovers to understand each wedding style, make-up and culture.
In India it is believed that marriage is not only between bride-groom but also a lifetime joining of bride and groom’s families/relatives. Families and close relatives from each side try to reach wedding place one or two days in advance. Families of both sides play an integral part in planning and execution of the wedding. In order to know each other better, there are some wedding rituals (Mehendi, Haldi, Tilak,etc) including dance and song performances.
So, songs and dance are an integral part of Hindu/Sikh wedding rituals. Bride and groom side families take part in dance. Songs are full of fun, teasing, love and praise for each other. This is also reflected in Bollywood/Indian movies. Here are some of the famous Bollywood wedding songs. People watch dance these steps in movies and try to imitate in their wedding dance performances.
Here are some of the clips showing bride, groom and their family dancing on Bollywood music in actual wedding. Families may hire professional Indian dance choreographer or they learn steps from Indian movies as given above. Have fun 🙂
P.S.: I will update this list as soon as I get more clips with English subtitles.
