4. Enter in style under a shaandar phoolon ki chaadar
When we talk about popular bridal entry ideas, the first thing that pops into our head is a bride all dressed in her bridal lehenga and jewels walking down the aisle under a beautiful phoolon ki chaadar. Yes, that's how synonymous a phoolon ki chaadar is to an Indian bride's entry. Especially for all the North Indian brides! While some are picking traditional dupattas strung with kaleeras for their bridal entry, others are infusing the charm of voguish umbrella phoolon ki chaadars & those woven with multi-hued flowers, tassels and other fancy adornments to their entries.
And while you can always ask your decorator to get you one of the quirkiest phoolon ki chaadars, but if you want to add some personal touches to it, how about you DIY your phoolon ki chaadar at home? It's super fun and doesn't burn a big hole in your pockets.

6. Dance your way to the mandap
Dancing brides are the prettiest! Especially these brides who refrained from acting all coy and sashayed down the aisle shaking a leg with their girl gang and family members. While some opted for peppy Bollywood numbers for their bridal entry, others chose soft & romantic tracks to dance on and even dedicated their bridal entry performances to their beloved partners.
If you too want to make a sizzling dancing bridal entry on your wedding day, begin with choosing the right song. Be particular with what beats & tunes you're picking so you don't end up goofing up last minute. Once you're done doing that, see if you need some props or accessories. Like if you've chosen to make a bridal entry on the song 'Kaala Chashma' make sure you pick a pair of black aviators to wear along with your bridal lehenga to do full justice to your act.
