The beautiful journey begins

• The first and foremost ceremony that takes
  place in a Punjabi wedding is the roka. It simply
  indicates a confirmation from both the families
  that the alliance is fixed. As a part of this
  ceremony, both the families exchange gifts,
  sweets and dry fruits with each other. The
  soon-to-be couple is also given gifts and money
  as a part of shagun, by their parents.

sagan ceremony

• After the roka and just a few days before the
  wedding day, the sagan ceremony takes place. In
  this, the rituals of tikka and chunni are
  followed. Herein, the brides family visits the
  grooms house and gives gifts to him and his
  family. Afterwards, the brides parents
  apply tikka to their future son-in-law. And then,
  the bride-to-be is presented with a red or
  pink chunni (veil) and ornaments from her future
  in-laws.

The ever-gorgeous chooda

• No Punjabi bride can ever be considered
  complete without her chooda. It is a dazzling set
  of 21 red and ivory bangles, which is gifted to
  the bride by her maternal uncle. An important
  part of a Punjabi brides solah
  shringar, chooda is believed to bring good luck
  for the newlywed couple.

The stunning kalire

• Another important part of the solah
  shringar of a Punjabi bride, kalire are the
  beautiful umbrella-shaped hangings tied on the
  brides chooda by her sisters and
  cousins. Kaliresignify their good wishes for the
  bride, and there is another very interesting
  ritual attached to them. The bride shakes her
  hands over the heads of all the unmarried girls
  in the family, and it is believed that the girl
  on whom a part of this kalire falls, would be the
  next to get married.

Mehendi and sangeet

• Just like any other big or small function of
  a Punjabi wedding, the mehendi ceremony is also
  celebrated with a lot of energy and excitement.
  In fact, the celebrations are doubled as
  the mehendi ceremony is usually combined
  with sangeet. While the mehendi is applied on the
  brides hands and feet, women in the family sing
  Punjabi folk songs. And, the family members dance
  to convey their joy. Other female members of the
  family also get the mehendi applied on their
  hands.
