CAN THE VIBE OF A HOMETOWN MAKE YOU FEEL CONNECTED BEFORE THE FIRST RITUAL BEGINS?
When a hometown feels like a warm memory and culture greets you before the family does… That’s when you know — this celebration began long before the date was set. The couple wanted their guests to experience a glimpse of their hometown staycation — not just through the invite, but in every welcome moment, from room settings to heartfelt hellos. Here’s the final inspiration board we had so much fun curating after endless cups of coffees and countless brainstorming sessions.
Kumaoni House
A traditional architectural style native to Uttarakhand, Kumaoni/Baakhli houses are built using locally sourced stone, mud, and wood, reflecting sustainable living. These homes embody the warmth of pahadi culture, often passed down generations as symbols of rootedness and resilience.
Monal
A vibrant symbol of Himalayas, the Monal reflects the natural beauty and cultural pride of Uttarakhand.
Postal Stamp
A personalized keepsake capturing the couple’s story in a timeless, stamp-sized frame.
Bhuli Art
This traditional local art form, rich in cultural significance, showcases the region’s heritage through vibrant, intricate designs, bold shapes, and vivid natural color inks.
Tibetan Flags
Colorful prayer flags fluttering on Dalai Hills symbolize peace, hope, and spiritual harmony amidst the serene Mussoorie landscape.
Handwoven shawls
Intricately handwoven shawls adorned with regional motifs reflect Uttarakhand’s rich textile heritage and the craftmanship of its mountain communities.
The main wedding invite should feature any of the favorite flowers of either Bride (Polygonm amplexicaule) or Groom (Blue poppy) and a traditional-style border inspired by classic invitation cards, but without any foil detailing, maintaining an overall minimal and elegant personal aesthetic.
