Weddings are probably the most awaited day of any couple’s life. The preparations start well in advance (almost a year back in advance in some cases); and why shouldn’t they! There is so much planning to do, so many events to arrange and people to invite. Add to that the shopping sprees for gifts and dresses; and you have your calendar overflowing with appointments and trails. Contrary to popular belief, the UK market offers abundant choices for Indian wedding purchase whether you wish to buy a bridal lehenga or hire Indian wedding DJ in London.

For inspiration, one can easily take some remarkable cues from Bollywood, the Indian cinema! Here is a list of top 6 movies you should add in your pre- wedding playlist!

1. Band Baaja Baarat- What this wonderfully energetic movie with funky dance numbers like ‘ainwayi ainwayi’ and ‘dum dum mast hai’ taught us about marriages is that you require stupendous decorations and equally stunning DJ setups to make any weddings an instant success with guests!

2. Jodha Akbar- Watch this period drama for ah-mazing jewellery inspirations and ideas. The classy bridal ...
... look of the beautiful Aishwarya Rai Bachchan with heavy neckpieces, bejewelled maangtikas and chunky waistbands is every bride’s ultimate dream!

3. Hum Apke Hain Kaun- Enjoy this movie with all your gal pals and dance to the tunes of ‘deedi tera dewar deewana’ on the sangeet night. This classic movie is an all time favourite among soon-to-be-brides and their girlfriend gang just for its fun and quirky way of representing what exactly happens in Indian weddings.

4. Monsoon Wedding- How can we complete our list of movies to watch for wedding preparation without this timeless piece from one of the finest director’s of Indian cinema, Mira Nair. Consider this as the ultimate Indian wedding bible!

5. Vivaah- Relate to the pure and innocent sentiments attached with each wedding ritual and revel in the sacred bond that is marriage with Prem and Poonam’s extraordinary love story.

6. Devdas- Yes, we have included this movie in the list. Baffled? You wouldn’t be, once you set your eyes to the spectacular outfits worn by female leads throughout the entire movie. From Kolkata style sarees to heavy maharani lehengas; it is a visual treat for every bride’s eyes!
