The first ceremony in any Guajarati wedding is Sagai. Exchange of rings and the union of two families become official in this. Make sure your wedding photographer is there to capture all the emotions that would be felt for the first times by both the families including the bride and groom.

Next is the Mangal Mandap puja, which is considered to be an auspicious and very importantceremony. In this, both the families worship Lord Ganesha and seek his blessings for a happy future.

Hereafter, finally there is the wedding day for which both the bride and the groom waited breathlessly.For the groom’s side it begins with the Jaan. Don’t forget to tell your videographer to gear up well, because it is time for them to capture the most enjoyable and entertaining part. The groom’s side would dance there heart out on music and would play garba till they reach the wedding venue, where another fun-filled ritual awaits the groom. The mother of the bride is all ready to pull the nose of the groom in spite of his best efforts to avoid that.




Lastly come the moments for which everyone has been eagerly waiting- the wedding. And, hence begins the rituals of exchanging garlands known as “Jaimala” followed by Kanyadaan, Hasta Milap, Varmala, Magalpheras and Saptapadi. In midst of all these, the tradition of JutaChurai takes place, where the bride’s sister leave no stone unturned in hiding the groom’s shoes. With most part of the wedding coming to an end, it is now time for the bidaai of the bride.


There are countless emotions, sentiments and overwhelming moments that complete a Guajarati wedding. The day might get over, but thanks to the professional photographer and videographer who have filmed and captured your big day, it will stay the way it was for eternity.
