The Outburst of Emotions for the Bride
Wedding is certainly one of the biggest days in a girl’s life. It brings along with it lots of excitement and happiness. But, it also brings along a sadness of too. In simple terms, it can be said that a wedding brings mixed emotions in a girl’s life.
When, a girl’s marriage is fixed, she gets really excited. But, at the same time, she gets nervous too. The excitement is all about entering into a new phase of life, taking new responsibilities etc. The reasons behind nervousness is how they are going to adjust to this new life. The courtship phase is quite an interesting phase. You get to go on dates, have late night long chats and lots of sweet talks without the fear of being caught or seen by your parents or any other relatives or friends.
When it is time for wedding shopping, bewilderment surrounds the bride-to-be. What to buy? What not to buy? Which jewellery is trending. Which hairstyle will look good on her? Which venue to book for wedding? What should be the menu? And, the list goes on. Decision fatigue is another emotion which a bride-to-be faces during her wedding shopping. What if her dress looks too red or too white? Which songs to choose for the performance and so on.
It is the complete moment of joy, when the bride is close to tying the knot with her groom. She knows, her day dreaming phase is over. The day for which she has dreamt since her teen-age days is finally here. No more confusion regarding what costume to wear or what jewellery to put on. Now it is time to take wedding vows and get the last name of your groom. It is indeed a very joyous moment for every bride.
Panic is another emotion which a bride often faces during her wedding celebration. She can literally panic about everything and anything right from her dress not reaching on time to her mehndi not being perfect.
However, this joyous moment is followed by a sad moment when the bride realises that she no more will share the last name of her father. She now has to leave the house of her father and take responsibility of a new home. However, amidst this sadness, there is bit of happiness too that she would now be leaving with her soulmate who will take care of her with love in both good as well as bad times.
In the end it can be said that a wedding is not just a union of two souls or families, it is also the journey of the bride from the arms of her beloved parents to the arms of her husband. This journey is quite an emotional one which comprises of happiness, sadness and lot of other emotions in between. However, feeling up and down is quite a normal thing for a bride and this is what makes the entire journey very interesting.

When a bride walks the aisle, it is an AWW moment not just for the guests but for the groom as well. After all, nothing can compete the beauty of the bride in her wedding dress. Groom too looks dapper and elegant but it is the bride who manages to grab most of the eye balls. However, the groom does not seem to mind it.
Whether it is the groom or the bride, shopping for just the right wedding dress involves lots of choices and confusion. When it comes to the colour of the wedding dress, the most common pick is red. As per Indian traditions, red is considered to be the colour of love, commitment, strength and bravery and hence bridal lehenga-sarees are often red in colour. Not just for the bridal dress, red colour is also very popular for the groom’s attire, wedding decorations etc. Why shouldn’t it be? After all it is auspicious as well as attractive.
Ivory colour has always been the first choice of grooms as it makes them look both stylish and smart. However, over the years, this colour has occupied quite a permanent place in the bridal lehengas as well. Ivory colour when contrasted with other colours such as beige, maroon or other vibrant colours makes both the bride as well as the groom look simply amazing.
When it comes to grooms, colour choices are often limited. But this is not the case with brides. Apart from ivory and red colour, brides can also give a try to green colour. This colour symbolises beginning of a new chapter in the lives of bride and groom. Moreover, green can blend with any other colour and reflect positivity.
For the wedding day, nothing can beat the elegance of the traditional look. Also, you do not get to wear a desi outfit every now and then, especially men. So dear men, why to opt for wearing suit for your wedding day. However, for your reception a blue or black suit with a matching bow or tie can give you dapper yet stylish look.
Bride and groom are surely the most important people in a wedding. After all, it is their wedding. But their friends and siblings cannot be ignored. They also leave no stone unturned in dressing gorgeously especially when they are single. No one knows, when someone’s heartbeat will stop looking at them.
At the end, one thing that can be said about an Indian wedding is that it is not simply a wedding but a huge celebration that lasts almost for a week. There are lots of rituals like mehendi, haldi, sangeet etc. and all of these rituals are performed with great joy and excitement. It is surely a big in a bride and groom's life but enormous amount of happiness can be observed on the faces of their friends and relatives as well.
Wedding surely brings two hearts together that beats as one. But not to forget, it also brings two families together.
