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.

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.
Frequently asked questions
Do venues around Newton Stewart have sound limits for dhol or music?
Many hotels and country houses set a sound limit or an end time, and some ask for unplugged dhol indoors. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we will check its rules before we confirm anything.
Which postcodes around Newton Stewart do you cover?
All of DG8, including Wigtown, Creetown, Whithorn and Garlieston, plus the rest of Glasgow and nearby Kirkcudbright, Stranraer, Castle Douglas and Girvan.
