What is a haldi?
Haldi in Hindu weddings and maiyan (or vatna) in Punjabi Sikh weddings are the ceremonies where family members apply a turmeric paste to the bride or groom before the wedding, for blessings and a glow on the day. They are usually relaxed, daytime and full of yellow.
Most happen at home or in a garden. We help with the parts that make them feel special: yellow and marigold decor, folk singers, a dhol to finish, and photographers and videographers to capture the colour.
Where it works best
Step 1
Yellow and marigold decor with a seat for the bride or groom
Step 2
Folk songs while the family take turns
Step 3
Dhol to lift things once the ceremony is done
Step 4
A photographer and videographer for the close-ups
Tips from our team
- 1
Dress for mess
Turmeric stains. Old clothes in yellow for family, and covers for floors and furniture.
- 2
Shoot in daylight
Haldi photos look best outdoors or by a big window. Plan the timing with your photographer.
- 3
Keep it short and fun
A focused hour of ceremony, songs and dhol keeps energy high before a busy wedding week.
