A traditional Indian wedding unfolds over 2–5 days of rituals, celebrations, and outfit changes. The most common format is a 3-day celebration comprising pre-wedding functions, the main ceremony, and the reception. Here's a detailed timeline to help you plan every hour.
9:00 AM — Venue setup with yellow and orange decor
9:30 AM — Bride and groom get ready (casual, haldi-friendly outfits)
10:00 AM — Haldi ceremony begins with elders applying turmeric
11:30 AM — Lunch served (light, traditional fare)
1:00 PM — Ceremony concludes; couple cleans up
> 💡 Pro Tip: Wear outfits you don't mind getting stained during haldi. Choose yellow, orange, or white cotton fabrics. Our styling team recommends coordinating the bride and groom in complementary shades.
