Maharashtra Beach Wedding


Maharashtra has some of the most beautiful and eye-catchy places to visit, making it a favourite destination for tourists as well as locals.  I love the amazing coastline, where water wave touch the feet of high peaks of mountains, temples and adjoining villages. The miles of pristine beaches are one of the best places to celebrate ones’ beach wedding of his/her dreams. There are a number of places in Maharashtra, which offer quiet and exotic atmosphere for both Marathi matrimonial as well as honeymooning couples.

Five hundred miles of beaches running along the Arabian Sea have a number of luxury resorts or hotels where one can stay after having a peaceful beach wedding. Although the customs and rituals related to Marathi matrimonial are quite traditional and parents want their children to get married in a very traditional manner. However, with the changing trends and change in the lifestyle of youngsters, some of the couples also organize beach wedding after having traditional ceremonies.

In recent years, the couples from other parts of India have also been approaching Maharashtra for mesmerizing beach weddings. The sparkling beaches and exotic flowers can make the Marathi matrimonial a wonderful and unforgettable occasion. Beach wedding packages offered by the hotels and resorts are also very alluring and affordable that can make your dream true.

The best deals include full-service wedding packages, which also include offers for the family of the bride and groom. To have the best beach decorations and music, you can hire a wedding planner, leave the work on them, and enjoy a perfect beach wedding. The wedding planners are there to take care of the food and live music, all you need to do is to call your family and friends and cherish every moment.

To enjoy the local nightlife during the beach weddings, you can try some outskirt areas, which are less crowded, which are Marve, Manori, Gorai, etc. Morning or afternoon is considered as the most auspicious time for conducting rituals in Maratha matrimony

Bridal Trousseau of the Marathi Bride


Marathi community is very simple and the people believe in very less showoffs during the wedding ceremony. The impact of both north Indian and south Indian culture can be seen in the Marathi samskaras or sacraments and rituals. Morning or afternoon is considered as the most auspicious time for conducting rituals in Maratha matrimony

One has to look exceptional in his/her wedding attire and be a center of attraction. The Marathi bride and groom dress up very traditionally for the wedding rituals, and you can easily identify a Marathi bride by her wedding attire. A bottle green sari having a length of nine-yards, draped in a typical Marathi style distinguishes a Marathi bride from others. In Marathi matrimony, green is considered as the symbol of luck and prosperity.

Sari worn by the Marathi bride is green Banarasi or kanjivaram, having rich golden embroidered borders. The hair locks are properly tied on the back to form a bun, and is decorated by a bunch of white flowers, also known as gajra. The hairstyle of a bride is very simple, yet gives a very elegant look. Hands and feet of the bride are decorated with beautiful mehendi designs.

Gold jewellery is the preferred choice for the Marathi brides, but they also like to be decorated in pearls. Green sari, accessorize with a bindi, pearl set, a seven pearl earring and a nose ring made up of nine pearls add to the beauty of the Marathi bride. The most important bridal sign of the Marathi bride, according to Marathi matrimonial, is green glass bangles, also known as chuda, are worn with pearls bangles, which give a very bright and contrasting looks. A waistband made up of gold, a silver anklet and a toe ring are important part of the jewellery of a Marathi bride.
