When it comes to home décor for Indian wedding, sky is really the limit. You can either spend lakhs of money or end up wisely saving some big bucks. All you need is some easily available décor items, some creativity and your friends and family helping you build the fort. Looking for affordable and creative ways to deck up your house? Let’s take a look at these easy ways to transform your humble abode.

Here’s How to do the Perfect Home Décor for Indian Wedding

Make the Best of Locally Sourced Flowers

Whether you’re getting married in an intimate ceremony or having a big fat Indian wedding, flowers are an inseparable part of Indian festivities. Instead of buying all the expensive and artificial accessories, you can make the best of locally sourced flowers. Gajra, marigold flowers, roses, there are plenty of options you can choose from and get a local florist to deck up your house. You can go regal and deck up your house in all white flowers or get experimental and use vibrant colored flowers. From entrance to mandap and even pretty corners, everything can come to life with some fragrant flowers.

Make Rangoli Your Ornament

Another inseparable part of Indian festivities is Rangoli. Be it Holi or Diwali or any other festival, almost all Indian households deck up their homes with pretty and colorful rangoli. Home décor for an Indian wedding, too will be incomplete without a rangoli. Use bright, vibrant colors to make traditional designs or try something new and make the couple hashtag or hearts using rangoli colors. The best part is that while rangolis will make your house look beautiful, it will also be super easy to clean rangoli colors post the functions.

Wedding Signs for a Quirky Touch

Quirk up any home décor for Indian wedding by adding decorative signs around your home. This is one of the easiest, most doable DIY ideas. For example, you can hang a Bride-to-be board outside the bride’s room or a “masks are mandatory” board right at the entrance. For personalized décor ideas, you can use your couple hashtag to make a board or name cocktails after your family members and write them on a chalkboard near the bar area. To beautify the boards further, you can use flowers, caricatures or art forms like Mandala and knife painting.

Let Your Entrance do The Talking

The entrance to the venue, be it a hotel or at home, is one of the most important aspects of the wedding décor. To leave a lasting impression on your guests, you should make sure you pay close attention to the entrance. Traditionally, entrances were decorated using a toran, a door hanging made of mango or Ashoka leaves and marigold flowers. You can either make a toran using flowers or even use decorative accessories like candles, diyas, buntings or hangings. For a heavier look, you can deck up your entire door with marigold flowers and colorful drapes. Add fairy lights for a finished look.

Use Drapes for a Conventional Look

When it comes to wedding décor, old is definitely gold. One of the oldest, most timeless ideas for wedding decoration is to use colorful drapes. Almost all wedding décor vendors use drapes in some way or the other. This versatile piece of decoration can be used to deck up the mandap, any room, staircase and even the entire building from the outside. Use drapes in bright, vibrant colors and add flowers and lights to complete any wedding décor look. One of the more contemporary uses of drapes is to make tents if you have a home garden or a big terrace. This is great for a boho themed pre wedding function or even a bachelorette party.

Use Pots or Vases to Deck up Pretty Corners

Any home décor is incomplete if you leave out the corners. They don’t really need any fancy decoration items. You can use any household pots, vases, containers to decorate the corners in your home. If you’re pots or vases are tall, use flower bunches for ornamentation. And if your containers are wide and shallow, you can use floating candles and flower petals. You can even get pots and paint them yourself according to the theme of the party. Remember, do not clutter the corners or hoard everything in one corner. Sometimes, less is really more. Keep the rest of décor in mind and try coordinating everything.

Don’t Forget the Lights

Now this is something you cannot do without. Lights are without question an inseparable part of wedding décor. Lights complete the look of your house in the truest sense. From fairy lights and string lights to bulbs and lanterns, a generous amount of lighting is the key to a good ambience. Deck up your walls, entrance gates, room arches and the plants in your balcony with fairy lights and lanterns. You can also get creative and put some fairy lights in masor jars and beer bottles and keep them in corners or on tables as centerpieces. For a traditional look, you can also use diyas to light up your rangoli or your entrances.

Use Accessories like Dream catchers, Umbrellas & Buntings

For a chic, theme based home décor for Indian wedding, you can use accessories like dream catchers, buntings, pom poms, umbrellas etc. These accessories are easily available in the markets and can even be made at home. Use bright colored buntings, pom poms or other items for a vibrant and off beat décor. A popular trend these days is to use umbrellas and origami flowers to deck up the entrance for mehendi functions. Similarly, for the wedding, you can use dream catchers and tassels in softer, pastel shades. Use them creatively, and these accessories are sure to grab everyone’s attention.
