If you’ve ever attended an Indian wedding, you’ve probably noticed flowers like these gently suspended in the air — strung together in delicate lines, moving softly with the breeze.
But these floral strings are far more than decoration.
In Indian celebrations, flowers — especially marigolds — carry deep symbolism that dates back centuries.
Marigolds are considered flowers of prosperity, purity, and positive energy in many South Asian traditions. Their vibrant saffron and golden tones are believed to represent the warmth of the sun, life, and the promise of a new beginning.
Because of this, they appear almost everywhere in wedding celebrations:
✨ draped across mandaps
✨ woven into garlands
✨ hung in strings like these to bless the space where celebrations unfold
The act of stringing flowers together also carries its own quiet meaning. Individual blooms are gathered and connected, creating something more beautiful and meaningful together than they could ever be alone.
In many ways, it mirrors marriage itself.
Two lives.
Two families.
Two stories.
Carefully woven together to create something new.
After photographing South Asian weddings for nearly two decades, moments like this remind us that what may appear to be simple décor often carries generations of symbolism and meaning.
And when couples understand the traditions behind the details, those moments become even more powerful.
✨ Tell us below:
Did you know marigolds carried this meaning in Indian celebrations?

Sometimes the most meaningful moments of a wedding trip happen when absolutely nothing is planned.
This photograph was taken in Mexico just as the lawn sprinklers suddenly came to life. What started as a quiet walk beneath the palms turned into laughter, running, and a moment neither of them expected.
And honestly… that’s marriage.
You set out with a plan.
A vision.
A timeline for how things are supposed to unfold.
But life has a way of surprising you.
Unexpected challenges.
Unexpected joy.
Moments that catch you off guard and make you laugh in ways you didn’t anticipate.
The couples who thrive in marriage are often the ones who learn how to do exactly what these two did in this moment — hold onto each other and run through it together.
After nearly two decades documenting South Asian and fusion weddings around the world, moments like this have become some of our favorites to capture.
Not because they’re perfectly posed.
But because they’re real.
And when couples look back years from now, these are the images that remind them what the beginning felt like — playful, spontaneous, and full of possibility.
If you’re dreaming about a destination wedding, remember this:
The place you choose will set the stage…
but the real story will always be the life you build together once the celebration ends.

What’s one spontaneous moment from your relationship that you’ll never forget?
