The first and foremost ceremony that takes place in Indian weddings is Roka or in some parts of India, it is called Misri. A Roka ceremony is the official announcement that the wedding is fixed after the boy and girl agree to spend their life together. In simple words, it’s the official stamp where the couple and their families get together and finalize the wedding. In most parts, the Roka ceremony is held at Bride’s house but some people celebrate this ceremony on large scale and invite their friends and family.

Roka is considered the first step towards a happy married life where the families pray for the new couple by performing Pooja and exchanging gifts symbolizing acceptance of the match. The Roka ceremony takes place a few months before the wedding as the period gives time to the family for all the preparations. Well, no party really ends in India without full-on music and dancing that’s why people prefer wearing lightweight Ethnic wear, whether the bride or groom or the guest.

For brides, the best choice would be Anarkali or Sharara suits in bright or pastel colors according to the function and as there is a huge line of ceremonies to follow, the bride should wear something girlish with intricate embroidery and at Andaaz Fashion, we have the perfect collection of Party wear attires that are not just unique but affordable as well.

Jagran or Chauki

Mostly in North India, Families get together for pre-wedding rituals and start the wedding ceremonies with the name of their idol. The families pray to god for the happiness of their children and take blessings to have a positive and happy atmosphere throughout the wedding functions. The ceremony starts with the name of Shree Ganesh with the family offering the first wedding invitation to him followed by Mata ki chowki. With the name of God, the family proceeds with further ceremonies. As this function goes on for the whole night, the bride should go for outfits that are fancy yet comfortable and the best choice here would be Patiala suits, Palazzo suits, or sharara suits.

Engagement or Sagai

The engagement ceremony is quite similar to Roka but on a very large scale, the families of the bride and groom throw a huge party in the celebration of the wedding where the couple exchange rings, and other customs are also performed like Chunni Chadhai for bride and Tilak of the groom. This ceremony tends to happen 2-3 days before the wedding followed by Mehendi and sangeet. Some people merge Engagement and cocktail parties together so the bride should go for outfits that fall perfectly for both the events like Floor sweeping Anarkali or Gowns that will give a pure princess look to her.

Most people combine Sangeet and Mehndi function together or can be held separately as well, Mehndi is yet another traditional yet exciting pre-wedding ceremony. This custom has become such a huge part of the wedding ceremony that you can’t imagine a wedding without a mehndi function. Mehndi is said to be one of the most important sixteen adornments for women popularly known as “Solah Shringar”. Gone are the days when certain aunties and sisters were in demand around the family and neighborhood for their expertise in Mehndi designs. Now people hire professionals for bridal mehndi. For Mehndi functions, floral jewelry is in trend, brides prefer fresh flower pieces of jewelry specially made from scratch to exaggerate their mehndi looks.

Haldi and Chura Ceremony

In North India, Haldi and Chura ceremony often takes place together on the morning of the wedding day, this ceremony mostly takes place among family and close friends in Punjabi traditions. In the Chura ceremony, the bride’s Maternal Uncle brings Chura for the bride that she wears for a year or half after her wedding, Chura is a set of red and white bangles that signifies the newly married bride. Followed by the Haldi ceremony, Haldi is said to be really healthy for the skin and make it glow. In this ceremony, an Ubtan is made out of besan and haldi, especially for the bride and groom that is applied on their face and body and it can be whole a lot messy for them that’s why comfort is the first thing one should seek in the outfit. The best color to wear at this function is the yellow salwar kameez as it brings out the beauty of the ceremony.

After months of preparations and waiting, comes the final day. the day where both the bride and groom along with their family finally unite and become one. This is indeed the most emotional time for the bride’s side as they have to let go of their daughter to be a part of a new family. The couple exchange flower garlands under a mandap or wedding alterations where a fire is kindled, the fire is kept as a witness for the pure reunion of the couple. The bride’s brother gives three fistfuls of puffed rice to the bride that she offers to the fire as a wish for his sister’s happy marriage followed by “saat phere” where the couple makes seven circles around the ceremonial fire, each round signifying a specific blessing they request of the god. The wedding ceremony is the final and the most important function in all. Gone are the days when bridal lehenga choli only surrounds hues of red.
