Why Is Organizing Your Indian Wedding Not A Walk In The Park?

 

Many of us do not realize the need for a wedding planner until late. Many of us still believe that if we could plan well in advance, we could get everything fixed at the right time. However, you will agree that we all need support from family, friends, and vendors. Indian weddings are one of the most complex and elaborate events to manage.

So, if you have already seen someone conduct their son or daughter’s wedding single-handedly in the UK, congratulate them. Why? Because it is a project by itself. However, in the UK, you also have professional teams of wedding planners. You can go for hiring Wedding Chiefs for Indian wedding planning. They have special teams for each client and will devote their entire time and focus on arranging your wedding with special care.

The Challenges You Might Face

  • The Guest List: In an Indian community, a small wedding would have around 500 odd guests. It means you have to decide this first, and based on this, you will be able to manage the budget. However, if the wedding is going to be in a different destination, consider those guests who cannot afford that. If you are planning a destination wedding in India itself, where do you want that large army of guests to settle down? Such questions are always going to be centered around these guests. So, do not delay in preparing and prioritizing the guest list.
  • Locating the Venue: Now that you have decided on the guests, the next would be to know where to have the wedding. Will it be in India, the UK, or at an exotic location of your choice? How many of your relatives and friends will be there if it is in the USA? Also, how much are you aware of that venue and the local laws? These will be too much of a hassle if you know nothing about the local areas. How do you want the venue? Should it be in a sprawling mansion or the open facing the beach? You need to check every little thing before you even visit the venue in person.
  • Know the Affordable Suppliers and Vendors: Next point to focus on would be where to get the florists and decorators, caterers, beauticians, and priests. Many people believe in having priests and ministers from their country or religion. Did we also mention that you have to hire the best photographers and have the bride and groom ready for a dreamy photoshoot?

What makes Indian weddings even more hectic is the diversity in Indian culture. There are several sects and communities with intricate rituals, and everyone wishes to enjoy those, even if they live thousands of miles away from India. Hire a professional wedding planner to ensure you do not lose all of your sleep and some hair in getting a wedding done.
