Bollywood is known for its action-stunt scenes, romance in the mountains of Switzerland, happy endings, song and dance… and of course, the grand weddings! Exploring the various diversities in society, Bollywood movies have thoroughly researched on the “big fat Indian wedding” culture where everyone comes together to admire the bridal-wear, wedding decorations and traditions, themes, locales and destinations. Here is a list of some grand Bollywood movie weddings to love and dream about –
The Lavish Weddings In Aisha (2010)

An upper-class wedding culture and the wedding scene from “Aisha” go hand-in-hand. Everything’s so classy, posh, elegant and done up in pastel colors, that even the character’s (played by Sonam Kapoor) late entry to her aunt’s wedding can’t mess up the beautifully organized party. Moving on to Lisa Haydon’s wedding scene, we love how everyone’s carrying off the pale cream and gold-colored Malyali sarees with such grace and class and we can’t help but shake a leg to “gal mitthi mitthi bol”.
The Vintage Wedding In Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011)

A fun and flirty garden-themed wedding is what we see in this movie, as you dance along to the song “Suraj Ki Baahon Mein”. With lovely flowers, a sunny afternoon, the Moroccan setting, family and intimate friends, and a white dress, and a perfect photographer – what more do you need to make your vintage wedding a dream wedding?
The Ideal Rituals In Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (2013)

This movie is an absolute treat for those who are planning an awesome destination wedding. The haldi session on the occasion of Aditi’s (Kalki Koechlin) marriage, makes us go ‘aww’ with the magnificent Oberoi Udaivilas backdrop. Talking about the ‘wow’ destination wedding in an iconic palace hotel, you will love the dreamy look and feel of the place. And how can we forget the bridesmaid speech by Naina (Deepika Padukone) at Aditi’s lavish cocktail ceremony just before we groove to “Badtameez dil” followed by the Sangeet where Naina and Bunny (Ranbir Kapoor) dance to “Dilli wali girlfriend”?
Simplicity And Grandeur Merged In 2 States (2014)

When north meets south – you find an eclectic blend of bright and pastel colors, loud music and temple music, ‘naach-gaana’ and traditions – as in the movie adaptation of Chetan Bhagat’s book of the same name, 2 States. The fun-loving Punjabi ‘baraat’ travelling from Delhi have a complete culture shock at the traditional beauty of a Tamil wedding ceremony in Mahabalipuram. Ananya (Alia Bhatt) looks the quintessential overjoyed bride as she walks up the temple steps, adding to the simple beauty of the occasion.
The Royal Wedding In Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016)

The most heart-breaking scene from the movie is when Aryan and Alizeh are separated and Aryan sings “Channa mereya”. However, we can’t help but gasp at the true-blue Nawabi wedding beauty. Dressed in splendid jewelry and attire, Anushka’s character does true justice to the royal atmosphere around her wedding ceremony.
No matter what, these Bollywood wedding sequences will continue to be an inspiration. Be it a desi wedding or an artsy one, we just love the happy vibes radiating from them!
