Weddings are a wonderful time for self expression. It’s the one day when it’s expected for the bride to have the spotlight on her. That’s why it is so important that the wedding day reflects her personality, sense of style and even culture. Choosing to celebrate their heritage, many brides include customs and traditions that uniquely personalize their special day.
For Indian brides, a wedding rich in tradition joins not only the couple, but their families and communities in a vibrant celebration that can span over several days. Since the elephant has long been a proud symbol of Indian culture, it’s no surprise that it is a popular wedding symbol, as well, that is often celebrated in the elaborate decor and used as Indian wedding favors.

- Elephants are a sacred animal in India, and the union of marriage is also sacred.
- Elephants represent loyalty, wisdom, and longevity—qualities of a good marriage.
