Do's and don'ts for monsoon wedding
Mail This Article
A lot of people love the thought of getting married during monsoon, but there are some things one needs to keep in mind to make it a perfect affair, say experts.
The do's
» Keep the wedding function indoors. Book a hotel, hall or palace - as your budget permits - but there must be a solid roof protecting your guests from the showers.
» Those with a creative bend of mind can treat the season as a blessing, and plan a rain dance party as a pre-wedding event.
» The wedding outfit can be matched with the theme of the season, opting for colours like peach, subtle hues of gold and pink.
» Accessorize the wedding favours with umbrellas, cute raincoats and other rain-wear gears like flip flops.
» Keep a balanced approach towards the number of hot and cold beverages.
The don'ts
» Monsoon is a bad time to wear heavy make-up. Even waterproof make-up needs constant touch ups. Consult a professional make-up artist regarding high quality water-proof make-up that will last longer and cause less mess.
» Avoid heels and stilettos. Opt for wedges. Jutties are also back in trend and can go well with attires like lehenga.
» Unless you wish for the hem of your dresses to be lined with brown/black grime, do not opt for floor length gowns, suits, anarkalis and designer dresses.
» Flowers tend to welt quickly in the humid weather, so one should ideally avoid flower-based decorations. Instead try drapes and gazebo.Artificial flowers can also be a great option if you like them.
