Wedding guide
’Tis the season of scorching heat and weddings! Brides, grooms and their families running from pillar to post to make the biggest day perfect. From venue to food to clothes, everything needs to be not just the best, but also apt for the hot season. If you are planning to tie the knot and want to get everything right, all you need to do is calm down, sit with a paper, your partner and family members and get started.
Since you will be getting married in some of the hottest months of the year, all things bright and vibrant will set the tone right! This is the best time to indulge in all things Bohemian, Tropical or Nautical — dream catchers, fun stripes, and flamingoes are always a win!
“Choosing which season to get married in is a big decision. If you picked summer for its warm, sunny days, honour that choice with summer wedding invitations that reflect the time of year. Summer is the best time to experiment with fresh colour palettes and quirky themes! The theme must be carried forward throughout all communication,” says Dhruvi Doshi of Dhruvi Doshi Designs.
When it comes to summer weddings, venues, along with other things, play an important role.
Opt for a venue that not only provides respite from the heat but also helps you get some of the best clicks of your big day. Today, photoshoots are an important part of any celebration—be it wedding, birthday part, pregnancy or anniversary.
From the brightest sunlight to the moodiest sunsets, depending on the look you’re going for, natural lighting will play a huge role in the colours, shadows, and overall tone of your photos. “For summer weddings, the ideal time to keep photoshoots is early morning and evenings. The attire should be casual and the couple should opt for comfortable clothing. You should avoid keeping your shoots between 12:00pm to 3:00pm as the sunlight is hard. For locations, you should pick a location which offers best of both the worlds—indoors and outdoors. You must go in for minimalist shoots and have mist fans at all your events. The mehendi party could be combined with a pool party since everything is open now,” says Megha Israni, founder of Israni
Photography & Love And Memories.
Echoing similar sentiments, Nidhi Sahi, founder of Enjay events, adds, “In India we have most hotels that have indoor venues as well so you plan few functions out but always have an option of indoor. You should also cover the outdoor areas in the afternoon and offer relaxing services as foot massage and spa to guests. In India there is a lot you can do so guests are involved and don’t feel the heat such as several of the points above.”
