Food that you want to see for your Wedding!

Your wedding menu!

Majority of the guests at your wedding will remember only the food that was served on the day. Therefore, a proper reason for you to pay attention to the menu card of your wedding.

With Indians being experimental with food preferences, we have a larger scope in terms of cuisines. One can choose from traditional north Indian or south Indian cuisines to continental, Chinese, Thai and even Mexican. You can pick a food theme for your wedding too.

Food is on top of the wedding planning list especially in north of India. Weddings in Delhi are known for their exquisite food options. Delicacies like dal makhni, tandoori chicken, malaipaneer or pindichole are always on the wedding menu.

We can always plan a three course meal that takes care of major food preferences especially what the bride and groom love. It can include starters, main course and desserts. Each category having a minimum of five to three different food variants. Also, the presentation of the food stalls is of great importance as they attract your guests and urge them to try more options. Sometimes the food stalls are decorated in a way that they add to the wedding decorations.

Couple of suggestions basis the mass food preferences at the Indian weddings.

The North Indian extravaganza – this primarily includes all the popular dishes at the weddings and is a great package for those who prefer for a traditional wedding. It has great options for both vegetarian and non-vegetarian. You can also choose from Punjabi, Rajasthani, Pahari, Kashmiri or Lucknowi cuisines.

Chinese platter – The food options listed here are primarily for the starters as they are preferred by all and are filling. People tend to eat more of starters and less of main course. Dishes like chilli chicken, honey chilli potato wedges, spring rolls and soups are loved.

Dessert delight – What is wedding without sweets! You can explore plethora of options ranging from traditional mithaai and halwa to ice-creams, cakes and chocolate mousses.

Hope this article gives you some points to begin your wedding planning. Share your thoughts with us. See you at the wedding! Happy eating!

Planning a Theme for Wedding in Delhi

Wedding planning is a tough task and deciding a theme for the wedding is just the beginning of this mammoth job. Secretly all of us think about weddings. Not just our own wedding but also when we are attending one. So where are you headed to this wedding season?

Talking about weddings, one cannot miss out on weddings in Delhi. Be it the charms of ChandniChowk where a majority of the shopping happens or the scenic locations like HauzKhas where pre-wedding shoots take place, Delhi is dazzling.

In recent years, we have seen a shift from our regular classic band-baaja weddings. Couples prefer various unique and beautiful wedding themes for their special day that makes their wedding unique and special in their own way such that people remember them forever.

And trust us, planning a theme for a wedding in Delhi is more than replacing the traditional marigold with plush orchids, because we are so captivated by #Virushka and #DeepVeer. Aren’t we?

So here we list a few tips for all those who have wedding planning on their mind.

Decide upon a wedding theme

You can choose from a number of wedding themes as per your liking. From ‘Fairy Tale Themed Wedding’ where you can write your own happily-ever-after story to a ‘Green Wedding’, which reflects you as a couple who is sober and closer to nature.And it all matches your budget too. With the right wedding planners, you can have your dream wedding planned in no time. The wedding destination, bride and groom outfits, wedding decorations, menu and everything on your wish list.

Basis the trends we have some suggestions for you.

What to do-

Lighter shades are in. Being subtle is the new trend in Indian weddings. Colours like pink, peach, mauve or cream are preferred. However, too much of flowery appearance can be avoided. We can always work with duppattas and other draping material for the décor. The bride & groom outfit can be worked out accordingly so that it doesn’t merge with the décor and still be in the theme.

What is a wedding without the right lighting arrangement? Here we suggest you use a mix of light sources like rice lights, earthen lamps, candles, and glass reflectors. As the wedding night grows, it makes the ambiance more warm and peaceful. Especially for weddings in Delhi which happen to be mostly in winters, these can do the magic.

Controlling food wastage at our weddings. The best way to do is to decide upon a good, unanimously approved menu. The extra food can be given to the needy after the function is over.

What NOT to do

Being loud is allowed but to an extent. Weddings in Delhi have been always been in news both for good and bad reasons. Undoubtedly we have grand weddings but let us choose more peace-loving wedding themes which aim at eliminating the burning of firecrackers and reduce both air and noise pollution.

Let us know your thoughts too. Contribute to the ideas in our comment section. See you at the wedding! For more visit

Hunting for the Unicorn Bride

My biggest challenge is connecting with the right brides…how can I find brides who understand the investment going into their wedding flowers/photography/video/catering/fill-in-your-service]?

Brides who understand the investment necessary to do what you do as well as you do it?

You’d have better luck hunting for unicorns. 🙂

Seriously, most brides have NO IDEA how much a wedding costs, let alone how much it costs for the highest quality they see on Style Me Pretty and My Fair Wedding.

The only ones who understand the “investment” are probably wedding pros themselves.

Rather than finding brides who understand the “investment” involved in what you do, you need to find brides who value it enough to pay for it.

It’s a subtle, but powerful, distinction.

The real value they’re paying for is always emotional.

Having those gorgeous flowers means something. It’s remembering the hydrangeas in Grandma’s backyard, reliving that night in the rose garden where they had their first kiss, or imagining how special she’s going to feel in that moment with lush, one of a kind floral arrangements surrounding her.

Now that we’ve got the unicorn fantasy out of the way…

Here’s how you can connect with the couples who will pay more:

1. Clearly identify who you’re looking for.

What style of wedding are they planning? What venues do they choose for the ceremony and reception? Where do they live/work/go to school?

2. Specialize in providing an experience just for that ideal couple.

Use the words they speak to describe the problem and the ideal wedding they want to describe what you do on your website and in your marketing materials. Display photos and videos of couples like them so they recognize themselves.

When you specialize, your value immediately increases for the couples who want exactly what you do.

3. Once you know who they are, find out where they go, both online and off, and meet them there.

What wedding planning websites do they visit? Which wedding professionals do they hire? What local organizations do they belong to? What clothing stores do they shop in?

If you aren’t sure where to start, most often, you (or your spouse) fits your ideal client profile. You can also survey your current and past clients to learn more, and be sure to ask them when you meet in person.

It starts with knowing who you want to attract and climbing into their shoes so that you can think like them and communicate the experience they want in a way that connects.
