15. Punjabi Pomp
We all are aware of the fact that zest that Punjabis bring to any occasion is quite marvelous. You should definitely try to organize your wedding sangeet with a Punjabi theme. You can welcome your guests with a glass of lassi along with dhols and bhangra dance and foods dipped in ghee and spices.
