This Shaadi Season, Couples Are Saying Yes to Crochet Varmalas

With hyper-personalisation being one of India's biggest wedding trends, crochet jaimalas have become a sure-shot favourite for couples seeking bespoke, made-from-scratch garlands.

Ever wondered what happens to a couple’s varmalas after the wedding day? These special garlands, rich in sentimental value, mark one of the most meaningful moments of the ceremony. While some couples now preserve their varmalas in resin as cherished keepsakes, for most, the garlands sadly meet a different fate - discarded once the flowers wilt.

Enter the growing trend of crochet varmalas - handcrafted, everlasting, and deeply personal. Quite like the appeal of crochet flowers, these varmalas don’t fade with time. They become timeless mementos, preserving the emotion of the wedding day long after the celebrations end.

This year, crochet varmalas have been a hit wedding trend.

When 28-year-old Yamini Arora got married earlier this year, she discovered the concept of forever-fresh varmalas while scrolling through Instagram. She was instantly drawn to the idea, especially because of the permanence of these garlands.
