At Twickenham House & Hall, we celebrate the beauty of these cherished traditions by providing a luxurious venue for couples seeking an unforgettable Indian wedding experience.
Pre-Wedding Ceremonies
The wedding festivities typically begin with pre-wedding rituals that set the stage for the main event:
Roka/Engagement Ceremony: This marks the formal commitment between the bride and groom’s families.
Mehndi Ceremony: A joyous gathering where the bride’s hands and feet are adorned with intricate henna designs, symbolizing love and prosperity.
Sangeet Night: A lively musical event where family and friends come together to dance and celebrate.
Haldi Ceremony: A sacred ritual where a turmeric paste is applied to the bride and groom for blessings and glowing skin.
The Wedding Ceremony
The wedding day is a magnificent affair, featuring elaborate rituals and traditions.
Baraat: The groom’s grand entrance on a decorated horse or luxury vehicle, accompanied by music and dancing.
Mandap Ceremony: The wedding takes place under a beautifully decorated mandap (canopy) where sacred vows are exchanged.
Mangal Pheras: The couple walks around the holy fire (Agni) seven times, symbolizing their promises to each other.
Sindoor & Mangalsutra: The groom applies sindoor (vermilion) to the bride’s forehead and ties a mangalsutra (sacred necklace) as a mark of their marital bond.
The Beauty of Indian Wedding Attire
Indian weddings are synonymous with dazzling attire and opulent jewelry. Brides typically wear richly embroidered sarees or lehengas in colors like red, gold, and maroon, symbolizing prosperity and happiness. Grooms often wear sherwanis or elegant suits, complemented by a turban or safa.
