Romika's Wedding poster

My good friend and workmate Romila's sister is getting married next month. Hindu weddings are huge!!!! With pre wedding, wedding and post-wedding rituals that can take several days and even weeks to complete. As an onlooker these events are so much fun as there are alot of laughing, joking and dancing.....dancing like Bollywood movies. But it can be very tiring especially for the bride-to-be from heavy outfits, to henna and tumeric.....by the time she finally gets married....the poor girl needs a holiday to relax!
As such the bride's home is decorated with an assortment of things. One of the things needed are a welcome sign that gets put up next to the front door of the the home. This sign (these days like a poster) shows the bride and grooms name.....just incase you forget who the bride is marrying....nah I dont know the full reason behind it....so I had to do one for Romika. Here are picts from start to well almost finished, I had Romila take it home and add more glitter to it before putting it up.
