Planning a Fall Wedding.

If you have planned a fall wedding and want to ensure that it is organized seamlessly, then you can either choose one of the best Indian celebrity wedding planners in Delhi India (if you have the money to spend!) or you can follow the steps we have stated here. A fall wedding is a favorite for many people as in this season you will neither feel too cold or too hot and the climate is just perfect to organise either an indoor or an outdoor wedding.

When and at what place to host a fall wedding

The first point that you should take in your planning process is which month you want to organise the wedding ceremony and at what place. Many well-known wedding planning services companies in India can give you detailed instruction in this matter after considering your likes. The amazing thing about fall weddings is that you can choose from a range of venues in and around your city (as you don’t have to worry about the winter chill, the rain, or even the hot and humid climate). When we talk about the fall weddings, then we generally consider the September, October, and November months.

The weather

If you are planning to organise your wedding ceremony in September, then the chances of a heat surge following the date of your wedding are very high which can lay awry all your plans. Therefore, in this month, you should try to organise your wedding ceremony indoors only. When you are planning for a fall wedding, then you must keep a close eye on the weather. If you are living in the northern part of India, then the month of November can bring in a lot of chill in the late evenings for which you must take adequate preparation so that your guests are comfortable and enjoy your wedding ceremony. You should also take into account that at certain times in October and November a slight drizzle may fall which can again make the guests uncomfortable so you must have a backup plan which can be an indoor facility or a big shamiana under which your guests can sit comfortably to watch the marriage ceremony.

Decoration

For a fall wedding, you should go for floral decoration which will give your wedding venue a fresh feel. You must give the orders well in advance so that you get the flower of your choice to decorate the wedding venue and make it truly eye-catching.

These are just some of the points that you must keep in mind when you are trying to organise a fall wedding ceremony which your friends and families will love to remember.

The placid lemon yellow is sure to find its perfect companion in the fiery saffron.

MINTY DELIGHT – Ditch the basic blues for your Mehendi and introduce a soothing touch to the color palette using some unique shades.

SILVER WAYS –Red is used as the prime color at every Indian wedding, if you’re looking for a break from the known choose this idea as a trendsetter.

Decorate the venue with glamorous silver trinkets here and there while you and your partner show off the beautiful Blue dresses bought for the event.

PEACHY PURPLE – Receptions are all about food, party, and awestruck garments worn by the countless heads.

WEDDING CEREMONIES.

Indian weddings aren’t just about the pheras and getting engaged to the love of your life, to get married one must perform six other ceremonies packed with culture and rituals! Indian weddings typically last between three to four days ending with an extraordinary Roka ceremony. The various ceremonies keep us close to our roots. Throughout these days, both the families involved celebrate traditional ceremonies along with their relatives and friends. Food, decoration, glamorous dresses, and relationships are seen to flourish during times of gratification and enjoyment. Let’s peek into the different Indian wedding ceremonies!

PRE-WEDDING CEREMONIES: –

ROKA – Roka is considered to be the official meeting attended by the family of the bride and groom to start the wedding preparations. A priest accompanies the families and decides on the date of marriage and other rituals. The bride and the groom give consent to marry each other and a healthy exchange of fruits, sweets, and gifts is seen.

ENGAGEMENT – A few months before the final knot, the family of the future bride and groom meet, and an exchange of rings is followed. Typically, close relatives and friends of both families take part in this ceremony. The father of the to-be bride and groom seeks the happiness of their wards and officially announces the wedding to the world after the exchange of wedding rings between the love birds.

MEHENDI – A day before the wedding traditional henna dye is applied on the hands and feet of the bride in beautiful designs. In some parts of India, the groom also follows the henna ceremony. While the bride gets her Mehendi done by a professional henna artist along with other females at the party, other relatives tune into some party music and dance their hearts away. The darkness of the dried Mehendi is connected to the love between the would-be couple in some places.

SANGEET – Music has been a way of finding peace and happiness during stressful times. The sangeet ceremony which is celebrated a few days prior to the wedding adds to the fun of the union between the two families. Friends and relatives from both the families of the bride and the groom prepare dance numbers and choirs. A jolly battle of thumkas is observed over the evening which brings the families closer to each other.

HALDI – Indians are always a step further when it comes to enhancing their beauty and inviting positivity in their lives. The Haldi ceremony does just this. A watery paste of turmeric or Haldi is applied to the bride and the groom in their respective homes on the morning of the wedding ceremony by their family members. Both the individuals are blessed by the Haldi appliers with prosperity and happiness forever.

POST WEDDING CEREMONIES: –

VIDAAI – The saddest ritual in the whole wedding is probably the Vidaai ceremony where the bride finally leaves for her new life with her husband. In this ceremony, the bride throws a hand full of rice over her shoulder which is caught by her mother. This ceremony symbolizes that the bride returns whatever she has consumed from her parents. Though we can truly never return the favor of our parents, this ceremony is widely honored across India in teary eyes.

GRIHA PRAVESH – After the Vidaai ceremony the bride and the groom arrive at the home of the groom where there are warmly welcomed by the family of the groom. The bride follows a ritual where she pushes a Kalash filled with rice with her right foot and steps on a dish containing a mixture of malta and walks into the house. This symbolizes that the new bride brings joy and prosperity with her.

GAMES- Many games are played after the bride enters her new home to break the ice between her and her new family members. The bride and groom are placed in different teams and asked to play games against each other. This is a fun ritual that celebrates the union and welcomes the bride into the groom’s family.

RECEPTION – The reception is the formal welcome of the bride into the groom’s family. The groom’s family throws a fest which is attended by the family and relatives of both the families and is celebrated with dancing, music, feasting on food, etcetera. Though this ceremony does not have specific rituals, it is a fun way of welcoming the bride into the new family.

ASHIRWAD- The Ashirwad ceremony is celebrated all across the country after the reception where the family of the bride visits the couple after their marriage with sweets to bless them for their future. The bride and the groom touch the feet of the elderly and seek their love and support. The day is spent feasting on food offered by the groom’s family and getting to know each other.

PAG PHERA- The pag phera ceremony is celebrated by the Indians as an auspicious event. The bride is accompanied by her brothers and cousins back to her own house after the wedding where she stays for three days. After the completion of the third day, the groom comes to get her back to the in-laws which marks the end of the vast Indian wedding rituals.

EASY WAYS TO MAKE YOUR WEDDING PHOTOSHOOT AND WEDDING FILM TO STAND OUT.

If you do not want to regret looking back at their wedding photoshoot because it’s ‘too basic or artless’, you are in the right place. Photographs are the most important ingredient in the recipe of wedlock. You get hitched only once, but the photographs stay with you for an eternity. When you are in your 70’s with your spouse, would you not want to view a unique wedding photoshoot that flawlessly expresses the bond you and your partner have had since day one?

Here are a few approaches to have an exclusive Wedding photoshoot and film!

PRE-WEDDING PHOTOSHOOT: – 

  1. You and your partner can mimic the first picture taken together in your candied days for a wedding photoshoot. Wear your wedding attire and imitate the posture in the bygone snapshot with your companion. Finally, make a collage with both the pictures against each other. This will unveil the lasting venture you both have been through, the tempests you have passed by lingering together for all these years!
  2. Yearning for a unique pre-wedding photoshoot should not have to make your travel to a new destination, this beautiful image can be snapped on your terrace! Travel to your terrace at dusk and hold a piece of slate with your wedding date on it. Let the photographer capture this exquisite moment as the setting sun reveals a crimson sky and you both look into each other’s eyes while holding the date of your eternal union!

POST-WEDDING PHOTOSHOOT: –

  1. Framing the moments for the onset of a timeless odyssey after the wedding is just as necessary as the pre-wedding snaps. Print a sign with the surname you and your beloved will be sharing till the end of time, for instance – ‘MR. AND MRS. IYER’. Voyage to the nearest park with the sign, your partner, and the photographer and frame another novel commencement!
  2. How would you like if just a picture could represent all that you and your spouse have been through? This easy plan will do just that. Capture various images with your partner depicting the diverse junctures of your relationship through the years. Subsequently seek a photoshop retoucher to edit the varied snaps into an ultimate one. And you will have the post-wedding photo of your dreams!

WEDDING FILM: – 

Having the ultimate wedding film is the desire of every newlywed duo. And this awestruck angle will only add to your countless wedlock souvenirs! Apart from churning up an hour-long wedding film, make a sixty seconds video embracing the nitty-gritty of the wholesome event. Ask your wedding videographer to capture a few candid shots of the betrothal and club them up in the wee video. For instance – when the bride-to-be walks into the venue, decked up in her breathtaking attire and her eyes meet the groom’s while all the family breaks into cheers!

These out of the world ideas are bound to set your wedding photoshoot and wedding film apart!

A great experience in Rajasthan

Rajasthan is one of the most popular places in the list of the top destination wedding planners in India. This beautiful state with a rich heritage and innumerable exciting places offers you a great opportunity to organize your wedding ceremony there. Some of the best Indian wedding planners recommend Rajasthan if their client seeks a royal wedding-themed ceremony. As one of the well-known wedding planners in Delhi, we also have experience in organizing a beautiful wedding ceremony at the amazing looking Umaid Bhavan situated in Jodhpur. It was a great experience and we were happy that we could fulfill the wishes of our clients to the tee and gave them a fairy tale wedding setting that they and their guests will remember for a long time to come.

The planning: Both the bride and the groom’s families were NRIs and were looking for a wedding ceremony that will help them connect with their roots in more ways than one. As both were originally from North India, we suggested Umaid Bhavan as one of the places where they can organize their marriage ceremony. After looking at the photographs depicting the layout of the Umaid Bhavan they agreed to our proposal and gave us the go-ahead to organize a beautiful wedding ceremony that would be a blend of natural, laid-back with the backdrop of royalty ensuring fun in all the best ways possible.

The inspection: Once we got the green light, then we started the planning process. The first was to take the parents of the bride for sightseeing of Umaid Bhavan. This was to give them an idea of what to expect on the D-Day. The parents were awestruck and fully approved the choice of their daughter and would-be son-in-law of this great Palace as a venue for their marriage ceremony. After the seal of approval from the parents of the bride, we booked the Umaid Bhavan for three days; pre-wedding night, wedding night and the reception. To bring some variety we suggested that they select the Taj Hari Mahal in Jodhpur for the Mehndi ceremony and the beautiful Meherangarh fort as an ideal place for organizing the Sangeet ceremony. After they visited these two places they again wholeheartedly agreed with our choices.

Mehndi: For the Mehndi ceremony, we opted for a fun atmosphere at the Taj Hari Mahal so that the guests can enjoy their time there. For this ceremony, the bride wished to decorate the venue with colorful umbrellas and flowers for a mela theme. As a wedding planner, we wanted to exceed her expectation so we decided to surprise her with royal shamianas, shamadaans and beautiful crystal chandeliers. For the bride, we created a beautiful -looking enclosure that gave a lounge-like feel. To make the occasion truly memorable, we in consultation with the bride’s parent gave the guests a few gifts to remember the occasion which included bangles, ittar, dupattas, and mojris.

The main affair: The marriage ceremony was a beautiful affair with the marble structure of Umaid Bhavan forming a great backdrop. The entire wedding venue was decked with myriad colors of the flower. To give this marriage touch of royalty, we also arranged the groom to arrive on the back of an elephant. The bride wore a beautiful red saree that was decked with ornaments making her look simply stunning.

The reception: For the reception, we in consultation with the parents of the bride made it a black-tie event and decorated the entire venue with fairy lights and beautiful tall table centerpieces.

The Sangeet Ceremony: The Sangeet ceremony at Mehrangarh fort was a truly memorable event. We have invited many folk dancers and well-known singers from Delhi to entertain the guests. For decoration, we relied on a blend of traditional Rajasthan along with some modern colors.

Overall, every single guest along with the wedding couple and their parents were all praise for our efforts and thanked us for making their marriage ceremony truly memorable.
