Haldi Ceremony

10:00 am - 1:00 pm

Yellow is the traditional color for Haldi, symbolizing prosperity and happiness but feel free to wear any vibrant colors. Be mindful that the ceremony can get a little messy with turmeric paste, so consider wearing something you don't mind getting stained. Here are some outfit suggestions: http://pin.it/62Nv9PtTI

**What to Expect** The Haldi ceremony is a lively and fun-filled event where turmeric paste (known as haldi) is applied to the bride and groom by family and friends. The turmeric is believed to bless the couple with good luck, glowing skin, and ward off evil spirits. As guests, you will get to participate by lovingly applying haldi to Sam and Steve. It’s a playful event, so be ready for laughter, some smudging of turmeric, and lots of candid moments!
