Indian Weddings are known for their grandeur and decoration plays a major part as it has to be a feast for the eyes. Not to mention, flowers make up for most of the decoration, hence it’s very crucial to decide the kind of flowers you want on your big day. You must consider the theme of the whole décor and also the durability of the flowers, especially when the venue you have chosen is open and directly in the sun. Mostly, bright colored flowers are preferred for an Indian wedding but now many brides opt for delicate flowers in light and cool colors. All thanks to Anshka and Virat’s wedding!
