Tilak Décor

The tilak ceremony is held mainly at the groom's residence because according to the Hindu custom only the groom is formerly engaged so the tilak ceremony is only for the boy and not for the girl but gifts are exchanged between both the families. In some caste it is called the Chenkai Ceremony. Traditionally, the bride and her mother do not attend this ceremony; mostly the male family members and relatives of the bride attend the function. In many families they celebrate both the tilak and engagement ceremony together. Since the ceremony takes place at the groom's house so it is beautifully decorated for the occasion.

Home decor can vary depending on the theme of the wedding, budget of the wedding or the personal taste. It look can be made very traditional by using Indian ethnic colors like orange, red, maroon or bandhni drapes along with gold tissue surrounding the entire living area or the place where the tilak ceremony will be held. The same decoration can be carried on to the entrance and the lobby of the building. For the traditional look decorative kalash can be used ai the entrance. Fresh flowers like marigold, gerberas, and roses can enhance the overall appearance of the traditional look. Mostly for tilak ceremony people prefer ethnic Indian décor. But this décor usually varies according to the regions as each region has its influence on the décor. The trend these days is theme décor like royal look, fairy tale look, paradise look and many more. So if the wedding is theme based than the décor should be according to that.
