It is now time for the baraat from the boy’s side to make a special entry at the wedding. More than just sitting on a horse or coming by car, the baraat along with the groom has to make an appearance pretty unique and impressive. This is a fun thing to do, and with a healthy dose of competing with what the girl's side can come up with as well - all in the name of healthy fun mind you. Grooms and their entourage these days have unique ways of making an entry into their own weddings, and we shall show you a couple of them that would make your imagination run amok and stir creativity for the same. Here are some unique ways to think about, and if you have your own thoughts, do let us know!

1.    Incorporate various cultural elements from another land

If you believe in more is better, maybe then you could think of having another cultural element thrown into your wedding. For example, organise a dragon dance at the baraat which would lead you and your entourage all the way to the bride’s house. It would be a fun thing to have a different culture infused into an Indian wedding, and this would also be a very memorable and an unique experience to have as well. Makes a good impression on the in-laws!

2.    A buggy entry

With the help of local buggies, get them invited and involved in your wedding. Dress up the buggies in vibrant shades of flowers and fabrics, and seat your baraatis in them. As a groom, you too sit in a special buggy with your best man, and lead the baraat to your bride’s house. Play Bollywood music along the way to cheer up the mood around and to enhance the scene too. This would make for a very funny yet sassy entry, your wife would remember for life.

3.    The good old cycle ride

This is one baraati entry for the groom and his entourage that would remain evergreen and popular; it never fades out and never will. The good old cycle can be a vehicle for the whole entourage to travel in; only those who can manage the same and keeping the distance in mind as well. Keep ringing away on the metal ringers to announce your entry the moment you land at your bride’s place.

4.    Tasbla dhol baraat on a mini truck

The big fat Indian wedding is not without its shor sharaba and naach gaana, and this time if the distance is too long to cover, one could think of hiring a mini truck to ferry the baraatis from the grooms home to the brides place. Have plenty of music around to pep up the mood and to keep the cheerful glee alive.

5.    Biking all the way

For his love of bikes, the groom and his entourage decided to take their bikes all the way to the bride’s house. Call it his passion or second love, a biking ride entry by the groom and his baraat speaks of power and passion. Quite an impressive way to tell the girl you are here to swoop her off her feet, we say. Who needs the horse now, when bikes can do a better job at making hearts beat faster!

6.    On an auto rickshaw

Gather a couple of auto rickshaws and dress them up fine and nice for the baraat to get into. Place pictures of the people from the baraat onto the auto rickshaw and flowers in plenty. This would make for an ideal baraat entry in the evenings; quite an eye-catching concept and a quirky way to tell your bride you are here to marry her!

7.    A Rajwada entry

Make the baraat entry one that befits the likes of the Royals. A Rajwada style entry is what you should have, with flags fluttering down the aisle you would walk on, to get to your bride. This is an elegant way to make an impression, and it speaks of high tastes in life as well.

8.    Walk in with the bros

There would always be a bro-friend or a brother around that accompanies the groom and leads the entourage. Maybe play or re-enact the SHOLAY brotherhood on a double scooter this time and head on to the bride’s house. The rest of the baraat could come on horses or cars, following the brother and the groom.

9.    Get on the dancing shoulders

Whilst walking into the bride’s house with the baraat is one way, getting onto dancing shoulders and being ushered into the bride’s home is a fun way to begin the wedding. Have your strongest friends and male relatives dancing around, and you perched on two of their shoulders. The music should be pepped up and fun to play with, and the rest would be magical as it unfolds.

10.    A Royal ride

Back in the days when maharajas got married, they had elephants transport them to the girl’s house. In this day and age, the same can be arranged too, with all permissions in place. A Royal ride is a must, if it is a destination or an intra-city wedding. The groom and his best man can sit on the elephant, whilst the baraatis walk by the elephant which is being managed by the mahout.

          Here were ten awesome ideas for an amazing wedding entry to make, which the groom and the baraatis can think off. The idea is to have fun whilst making an entry into the bride’s house at the wedding. An impression in the right way to create is a must, which is why we urge you to think out of the box. You can also blend in an old-school way with the new, and make a magical baraat entry to impress one and all.
