Things You Get To Hear in Every Bengali Wedding

by Alexander A. Digital Marketing Consultant

There are many other occasions to host and organize apart from just the actual wedding for a Bengali marriage. Depending on whether you represent the bride's side or the groom's side, the type of wedding events pre and post the D-day will be different.

A traditional Bengali wedding starts with the 'aiburobhaat', the day before the wedding, 'bashi biye', the day after, and 'bou-bhaat' when the new bride serves the elders in the family in her in-law's family. And of course there is gaye holud on the morning which basically marks the beginning of the day's events. Nowadays, Mehendi and Sangeet and Cocktail receptions have also become a part of a Bengali wedding, even though these were traditionally North Indian customs. Each of these occasions requires a separate ambience, where different rituals are followed along with different forms of arrangements. If you wish to celebrate all these events, you have to be prepared for all of them separately.

When you hire a bengali wedding planner in Kolkata, you have to find out if you want them only for the marriage reception party or do you want them to tackle all the rituals and functions associated pre and post the main event.

 

·         Aiburo Bhatt (treating the groom and the bride on the day before wedding)

Any Bengali wedding, or for that matter any wedding is basically the traditional way of saying let's eat good food! However, this ritual of Bengali weddings is really amazing as it involves treating the bride and the groom with their favorite dishes before they tie a knot. It basically marks the last meal of bachelorhood and holds a special thing for every mama's boy or daddy's little princess!

Today's Bengali wedding shenanigans are not just about the treat. It is often also clubbed with Mehendi and other performances, much like what you see in some North Indian weddings. Couples who plan for a Bengali destination wedding must keep in mind that arranging all the nitty-gritty of a traditional marriage can increase the destination wedding cost. So for such arrangements, you need to have a heart-to-heart discussion to work out the budget and plan accordingly.

 

·         Tatwa

This is basically an array of gifts which are exchanged between both the families. The planners can help you arrange for pack the gifts in unique ways as that is what makes the "tatwa" special. Fish and sweets are signature part of this exchange and it is in fact a tradition where the groom and the bride's family can showcase their creative minds to make the gifts look different and artistic. The friendly turmoil between who-did-best will always be a special part of any Bengali wedding!

 

·         The main event

There is altogether a different excitement about the ulu dhwani! Every state has its different ways of celebration and for Bengalis, the bride hides her face with betel leaf and her brother lifts her up to the stage. The bride and groom exchange garlands before sitting in front of the priest and continue with the rest of the ritual.

 

The reception and the other events are more of a party which nowadays is often celebrated in a millennial way. The themes, the cocktail parties, the various other entertainment shows - the bou bhaat is now more than just celebrating the day with the bride coming into a new house but involves many other sophisticated programs for entertaining the guests.

Bengali wedding like every other marriage is about celebrating the love and hope of the newly tied knot. And to get these things done in a picture-perfect way, you need to have expertise. The wedding planners across the city can help you get it done impeccably.
