What do you think about such a vintage born idea that can allow you to hear the thoughts of the guests about how the wedding went, their blessings, jokes, and maybe some secrets if you install a phone booth, decorate it with flowers and something vintage like candles or Chinese vases, and station a telephone inside it that actually records everything.

Now for the final shot, our bride can now pre-decide some earthy hues such as deep reds, oranges, gold, and white, or for a royal look, add up some heavy jewelry for the wedding day with a beautiful crimson red dupatta and embroidery, and for the icing on the cake, ring up some local sitarist, tabla player, or DJ who can play all old Bollywood songs and create a type of perfect vibe. Sometimes people opt for ghazals and qawwali since they are perfect for lifting the vintage feel. Last but not least, for a grand entry, a vintage car entry will be an epic choice, but there is more. A traditional palanquin entry will give off that royal touch to the bride’s entry when all eyes are on her. A horse-drawn carriage entry will end up with a fairy tale entry that won’t go off the hot list for gossip for years.
