Picture yourself as exchanging your wedding vows dressed as an Indian Maharaja in his traditional finery, your bride beside you looking stunningly beautiful in a wedding outfit painstakingly embroidered with gold and silver threads, and resplendent in handcrafted jewellery. Your family and friends looking like aristocratic courtiers, seated on ornate period furniture emblazoned with royal crests, the antique crystal chandeliers tinkle in the cool breeze, while outside, gaily caparisoned elephants raise their trunks in a salute to the newly married couple.

The wedding over, you proceed to your royal suite in a fairy tale palace as faithful family retainers bow in obeisance.

Just a dream? Now we can make this dream come true – without ever taking away the dreamlike quality of the experience!

Travel House Royal Indian Wedding Service conceptualises exciting themes to match your venue and number of guests so as to create an event of a lifetime for your marriage.

Mughal Durbar Style Wedding
Go back in time into India’s regalpast, experience the ambience and opulence of the great Mughal Emperors. Beautiful hostesses welcome each guest by sprinkling attar (perfume) and flower petals, liveried retainers usher them courteously into the royal Dining Hall where the tables groan under the weight of  an array of scrumptious Mughal delicacies, served in a manner that truly befits royalty. The guests are attired in traditional Pagris (Turbans) and silken Kurtas (Shirts), while the groom is dressed in an embroidered designer Sherwani (long tunic).

Maharaja Style Wedding
A grand procession of gaily decorated camels and elephants welcomes you and your guests; hostesses dressed in colourful Rajasthani costumes honour each guest by performing the traditional, ‘aarti’ ‘tikka’ and garlanding ceremonies. Accomplished musicians meanwhile play poignant tunes on the obligatory Shehnai (an oboe like wind instrument); folk dancers twirl and posture to timeless tunes that invoke the blessings of the gods for an auspicious wedding; the plethora of dishes, prepared by highly experienced chefs taste like manna from the heavens. Does one need to say more?

Rajput Style Wedding
The Rajputs (literal: offspring of kings) are the principal warrior race of Rajasthan (literal: land of the kingdoms). In keeping with their name, they still follow aristocratic ceremonial practices. Rajput weddings are reminiscent of the kingly style of a proud warrior race. The bridegroom’s party reaches the venue of the wedding with the bridegroom riding a white mare and preceded by a brass band playing lively tunes while retainers carry mashaals (flaming torches) to light the way. The bride and her friends have meanwhile participated in the mehendi ceremony where their hands and feet are temporarily tattood with Henna (an oriental herb) in intricate motifs. The religious part of the ceremony is done under a floral mandap (pavilion) that forms a sacred space.
