Indian Wedding Songs

November 11th, 2011

An Indian wedding is a union of two individuals for life. It is a union of two families and a union of two communities. A wedding is a celebration, a festival, and above all it shines with all the colours of a rainbow.

Indian weddings in India are different than in Britain mainly due to the huge difference in the weather, space, facilities and availability of a support network.

Owing to the fact that an Indian wedding is not just a one day event there are several important aspects of the celebration. One of them is music; more specifically, traditional songs. An Indian wedding would not be a wedding without songs. In Britain Indians celebrate with music, mainly Bollywood songs played loudly on DVD. The type of song also varies depending on the event. For example, if it is ‘Mehdi’ (Henna), then songs will be related to henna. Whereas, if event is ‘Sangeet’ and dance then again the songs played will be in line with that.

In India, in ‘Mehdi’ approximately two hundred ladies and 50 children gather in the evening.

Food will be served to every one including the male members of the house and once the meal is over the men will be asked to leave. Then a group of singers sing traditional wedding songs beginning with all kinds of songs with many lyrics which are very emotional and moving. Consequently, it is not uncommon for many women to cry. The way on which the singing is arranged is also significant; one person will lead then the remaining ladies will repeat the same line in a chorus.

This could go on for two hours then the young friends of the bride will perform a dance to Bollywood music for hours one after the other. Sometimes even men will enter in ladies costume; wearing saris and sitting at the back.

This is the real fun of a wedding. Everyone enjoys the night, including the neighbours! No one complains about this even if it lasts until 3 in the morning. However, if this event takes place till late then your neighbours will be first one to give you hard time unless they have been fed well or unless they are sitting in your party too!

The joy of weddings; the fun and the real charm of the event, especially of Indian weddings is music. Without this it it isn’t a wedding.

Choosing Famous Wedding Songs

November 10th, 2011

Wedding events are indeed one of the most important occasions in every couple’s lives. Thus, it will not be hard to understand why couples would really want their wedding day to be outstanding and special. Every details of the wedding are very important. The same goes with the couple’s choice of soundtrack. The couple’s choice of music will determine the mood of the occasion. The music can affect the ambiance of the wedding in one way or another. Although music is often times over looked, couples must not fail to understand that the music can be able to distinguish their wedding day from any other couple’s wedding.

To help you choose the songs to include in your play list, it will be best if you divide the event in to major parts such as the prelude (music played before the wedding ceremony), processional ( played during entrance of the bridal entourage), interlude (played at any transitional times during the ceremony), special ceremony (played during specific highlights in the ceremony such as lighting of the candle), recessional (played during the last part of the ceremony), postlude(played after the recessional to entertain the guests as the couple departs), and reception.

For the reception, you may choose from a wide variety of wedding songs. This is the part where the formality of the wedding is supposed to end, thus the couple and the guest may be able to relax and enjoy. This is where the couple may be able to showcase their creativity in their choice of music because there are no more restrictions. The music played during the reception will usually reflect the couple. The play list should coincide with the theme of the wedding. To avoid confusion, it may help to limit your choice of music to the concept of your wedding, but make sure that the uniqueness and the creativity should be maintained. You need not follow the traditional types of music. Besides, your wedding day is your very own special day, so do not limit yourself. Dare to be different and give your guests a blast on your big day!
