So, here we are listing down some uber cool western traditions for your guests to fresh their eyes with. Game up your wedding soiree by incorporating these to your traditional wedding and make it look off-beat and hatke!

Rehearsal Dinner aka party-before-party is an immensely popular modern concept which involves immediate family members of the Bride & the Groom and is a great opportunity for both the families to spend time together before the tedious tasks of ceremony begin. Bride and Groom give a vote of thanks to those who helped them in their wedding preparation and is a great way of interaction, for that, it tone downs the pressure of the upcoming nuptials.

Walking down the aisle is one of the key moments of life, it involves a kaleidoscope of emotions, now, we have all seen brides walking down the aisle in a western wedding but for an Indian groom to walk down the aisle after the grand entrance of baraat can level up your wedding game. Ask your wedding planner to arrange a walkway for you where your parents shall escort you to the mandap, making it look like no casual affair.
