Beads & Ballerinas


Decorations at a wedding I attended today. The caterers/wedding planners do this with their business cards placed close by. They also do ice sculptures and animals and birds carved out of vegetables. I saw a dolphin carved out of a bottlegourd.

    Very pretty! Do they just arrange these on a table? And did you take a picture of that bottlegourd dolphin?

    All you need is truck load of moolah in India, you can literally live like a king and Queen! Lovely colorful deco, shows lot of effort to make a wedding grand. Beautiful.

    Is the decoration permanent on the plate? It would make a colorful wall display.

    Pretty!!!! This reminds me of my wedding.. The Caterers did something of this sort during our reception. But I hardly had any time to look at them

    lovely thali arrangements - but where were these put up?
    Asha is quite right - you have the dough, you can get anything done - including SRK or Shiv Sena to come and dance at your wedding ;P
    I hope i don't get traced and beaten up for saying that!

    Sig, no, there was quite a crowd of people there and I didn't want to ask them to move. Yeah, I've only seen them arrange these in plates on a table, not anywhere else.
    Asha, true. This is a feature in most weddings I go to nowadays.
    Jaya, I don't think so, probably they just throw it away. I really don't know.
    RV, they didn't even let me eat during my own wedding - ultimately, someone got me ice-cream!
    Sreelu, never been to one of those rich Hyderabad weddings? :) It's not exactly this kind, but I've seen lots of unusual stuff there, with all the competition
    Mamatha, they are just displayed like this - think the beads are stuck.
    Nandita, :-D let us hope not.

    Rachel, Arundhati, thanks!
    Siri, ask them to arrange this - I'm sure it's easily done and Hyd probably leads in all this, more than this city!
