Common Mistakes Couple make When Planning the Wedding and the Tips to Avoid Them

Every couple plans a lot for their Wedding which is no less than the most beautiful events in their life. Even with so much planning, it is very easy to step into a few pitfalls through this.

For this post we are discussing common mistakes couples make when they plan for their “D-Day” along with the tips to avoid them:

Money wasting

We know when it comes to the wedding; people get a bit of spendthrift. Everyone dreams of this beautiful event for so long that when it finally happens, we try to make sure that nothing lacks.

Also, don’t forget the vendors as they will just advise you and make more and more profit from you. It goes like that since forever. Hence you need to be considerate and careful. Make sure you are not spending money where you don’t need to. It can be over the expensive bridal outfit and jewellery or over having a luxury car at your wedding and reception when you’re at the same location.

Overlooking the wedding ceremony

Some of you might get, “WHAT” as of how can one overlook the wedding ceremony at the wedding. But there are many couples who just focus on the reception without forgetting that it’s the wedding ceremony which is the main event. Reception is just celebrating this unison. So make sure you don’t fall in the pitfall without giving enough thought for the wedding ceremony. Make sure you have the right seating arrangement, music, readings and everything else. You want to make sure that you cherish these moments forever as it is then when you say your vows and tie the knot officially.

A wedding without any personality

Yes, there are times when you go to a wedding which is devoid of the personalities of the couple. It’s not necessary to have a theme wedding but a lack of personality in the wedding make it one of the many gala events, nothing special or more than that. Do a little research and unfold your creativity to add unique charms to your wedding. For such an important day of your life, make sure you plan something that reflects your life.

Not having a back-up plan

“It could never rain on my wedding day”, “what’s the need of emergency bridal kit”, these are some of the common thoughts couple have. That’s where they forget to plan for the things that might go wrong. Therefore you always need to have a contingency plan. For instance, you need to ask your vendor to make necessary arrangements as in an alternate location if there is rain. You can even have your bridal emergency kit for any last minute touch ups and snafus.

Without indulging your better half

We are living in the 21st century. So don’t let the fact to be just delegated to the bride. You both are getting married and hence you both should take active and equal participation in wedding planning. Take out some time to talk about the new ideas, make pointers based on research together, accordingly you can set wedding related goals and even keep a track on them. You are about to start this new journey together; so, include your better half in anything and everything.

In the end, don’t let yourself bogged down over little details and later regretting not spending enough time on what’s really important. Breathe and relax, the accidents or any mis-happening tend to become the funniest and cherished memories of the wedding.

5 Tips that will help BRIDE-TO-BE in “Rocking” her Sangeet Ceremony

Brides of the 21st century are breaking all the stereotypes. Gone were the days when they were just sitting and smiling while the whole family and friends are enjoying and dancing on their Sangeet ceremony. Now they take the lead in every step and then be it in choosing the designs for their Indian wedding cards or dancing their way on in their Sangeet ceremony. But as you need planning for organizing all these events, you need some planning tips for yourself too so that you can make the most of it.

Therefore, for this post we are sharing with your some tips that will help you in “rocking” your Sangeet ceremony:

  1. We all know how much we appreciate those Lehengas with heavy embroidery or stonework. There is no doubt that they look absolutely amazing but they won’t allow you to dance freely. Therefore as per your choice of outfit, you can go for some lightweight bridal outfits. They are very trending and let’s not forget the ease they offer while showing your “SWAG” on the dance floor.

2. Also don’t you think that you dancing on those several feet high inch heels is a bit risky unless you are Bey once obviously. Instead of those high inches heels, you can go for sneakers or even barefoot while dancing. Also not just for dancing, you can choose flats for the rest of the ceremony as well. Indian ceremonies are long events. Bearing the pain for so long will only make you feel all annoyed and tired. So, ditch all those stilettos or high heels get all ready to “SWING”.

3. The same thing goes with your make-up as well. You should stick to very light and breathable makeup. The last thing you want is to look all drained out and sweaty after that heavy makeup has its free fall with your dance. Also, don’t forget Indian has a very moderate climate and you will be all drained in sweat after your dance. Therefore wear light and sweat resistant make-up that doesn’t wash away as you make your move from one song to the next.

4. Another thing to take care of is your hairstyle. We all love open tresses as they go along with anything and look absolutely spectacular. But unfortunately, for a solo dance, try to make a half updo or pin them up using pins. You can ask the stylist to go for the hairstyle that can keep those tresses away from your face. In this manner, you look beautiful before and after the performance as well.

5. Lastly, be very particular when it comes to making the song choice. You can go for trending songs or choose any of your favorites from classics. But make sure the song goes with your personality and with the mood of the event as well. You can go for fusion as well, swinging on beats dedicated to different members of your family and for the love of your life.

As much as you await the presence of your guests on your big day, they too cherish the wedding invitations sent by your equally. Many couples are choosing the digital invites over traditional wedding cards but that doesn’t mean that the latter has lost all its charms.

Indian culture is considered on the richest amongst all and probably the little inclination of ours towards traditional practices is appreciated by everyone. Taking that into context, for this post we are discussing some beautiful ideas you can use in your Indian wedding card to add more traditional and personalized charms:

1. ADDING STORYTELLING ELEMENT IN YOUR INVITATIONS

Everyone is looking for ways in which they can make their wedding signifies a part of them at the best. From getting the outfit customised by adding the wedding Hashtags to choosing some quirky yet personal locations and ideas for wedding photos, they are very particular about every element of their wedding. So, why not use the same for the wedding invitations and add the storytelling element in it. It can be a caricature or a doodle or anything you can relate with. There are many elements that can describe the journey of the couple and give the sneak peek of the wedding ceremony to the guests.

2. COMPLIMENTARY CHOCOLATE AND DRY FRUITS PACKED WITH WEDDING INVITATIONS

There is no doubt that the little wedding gifts when sending with wedding invitations are highly adored. And for this gift, what could serve as the better option than a box of homemade chocolates or little jars or pouches of dry fruits. They are surely counted amongst the mainstream but are equally appealing to every recipient. Other than that, sending dry fruits with wedding cards is one traditional practice followed in India for so long.

3. TASSELS IN INDIAN WEDDING INVITATIONS

Don’t we all just love this little detailing that can accentuate any wedding invitation? The tassels, when added to Indian wedding invitations, give it a look that is the blend of traditions and modernity. It can make the wedding invitation design look more authentic. With this simple and elegant detailing, you can add the flair which your Indian wedding invitation is lacking somewhere.

4. FANCY WEDDING INVITATION BOX

Some of the couples like to have everything simple and sorted while others like to go a little “extravagant” when it comes to marriage invitations. And what could be more pompous than a fancy wedding invitation box? This idea is very fancy and excites the guests more than those e-Indian wedding cards.

5. MOTIFS ON INDIAN WEDDING INVITATIONS

Motifs have been an indispensable part of wedding invitations for so long. They are considered substantial in wedding designs. The most common motif used in many Hindu wedding invitations is the motif of Lord Ganesha. This motif not only looks spectacular but is believed to be the mark of an auspicious occasion and a happy beginning. This motif has its own traditional charms and is surely one of the best elements you can add in your invitations.
