Indian wedding is grand, colourful, and musical and reflects the culture and tradition of the place. Planning an Indian wedding can be a daunting task with numerous details to be looked after. An important factor that effects the planning of the wedding is the season in which the wedding is being held. The planning differs and is based on the weather of the wedding. India enjoys extreme climates; the summers are hot and dry while the winters are chilly and dry. Many couples prefer tying the knots in the winters as there’s no sweating, perspiration and exhaustion involved and it’s also more romantic and cosy. As it is, an Indian wedding involves an endless series of rituals, plus the bride and groom dresses up elaborately in heavy and gorgeous dresses which add to their exhaustion. Planning a winter wedding needs precision. Here are some tips that you might find helpful: 1. Choosing the right wedding dress: The wedding attire should be one that not only accentuates the beauty and charm but also keeps the bride and groom warm. You can opt for heavily embroidered lehenga or gorgeous designer saris, the bride can go for a heavily designed ‘sherwani’. A good looking shawl should be used if the temperature is very cold. 2. Invitation cards: You can add the flavour of the winters in your wedding cards as well. You can choose designs and graphics that are based on the season. As an envelope to the card, you can use a lovely box covered with wool or a decorated woollen wrapper. You can buy wedding cards from shops or make them by your own (only if the number of guests is small). However, there are some agencies that make handmade wedding cards. You can hire their services. Make sure you choose one that’s reputed and well established. Visit here to know more about such agencies. 3. Drinks to go: Winters give the permission of drinks in the wedding, so many religions forbid it. If it’s OK in your religion, you can arrange for drinks that will also keep the guests warm. Red wine or a combination of wines will spread warmth across guests. But abstain any guest from being overly loaded. 4. The food: Serve your guests with hot and spicy starters, like kebabs, hot and spicy chicken, drum of heaven, or pakoras that are greatly savoured in the winters. It is a must that the main course be served hot as its winter. 5. Candles for warmth and ambience: Lighting candles around your wedding venue is a great idea for a winter wedding. It will not only create a lovely aura in the wedding venue but also spread warmth. But be careful with kids and keep fire extinguishers near hand. 6. For outdoor wedding: If you are planning an outdoor wedding, it is important that you make the necessary arrangements so that your guests don’t get frozen up. Rent few tents and make arrangements to keep it warm, like central heating to keep the atmosphere warm. Author Bio: Adam Sheppard is a renowned author.
