Diwali is a festival full of lights. You cannot ignore this element when you’re thinking about Indian weddings. From fairy lights and sting lights to bulbs lanterns and candles, a generous amount of lights is the key to a lit celebration. For traditional ways, you can use diyas as well at the entrance.
