Wedding Budgets

Indian weddings are known for their splendor and elaborate arrangements. A wedding being an expensive affair needs a careful, well though-out budget. A budget plan is essential in order to plan a successful wedding. Since money matters the most, having a rough estimate of the expenses (and sticking to it) helps a lot in accommodating the unavoidable unexpected expenses at the last moment.

Also one should split the budget for different expenses in a prioritized manner. This helps in knowing how much one needs to spend for what.

The other ways to control expenses during a wedding are by having a limited guest list, asking artistic friends to double up as mehendi artists and photographers, not including too many exotic food items in the menu among others.You can always go beyond your budget,but keeping the expenses within the budghet is a special art to be learned.so lets plan ur budget frsit before making some wdding arrangements,that will make ur wedding experiences more beautiful.

Getting Married in India

2008/04/12 11:45 | Hiren | General

Indian wedding arrangements are highly sought after all over the world due to their interesting roots and customs, with rituals and traditions that have not changed since they were first handed down by their long lost ancestors. Wedding arrangements in India have captured the fancy of people from overseas due to their diversity and colorfulness.

An Indian Wedding ritual consists of several unique and interesting steps, for starters, the day before the actual wedding ceremony itself, the palm and feet of the bride are decorated with “mehandi” or what is essentially henna tattoo. At the same time, the groom’s party will erect a canopy with flower decorations at the place where the wedding will take place.

The actual wedding day is marked with the bride and the groom performing sacred rituals in their respective homes, while their bodies are anointed with sandalwood paste and oils, which signifies a cleansing of the body, as well as softens and gives the body a fragrant smell. Afterwards, they are bathed while Vedic mantras are being chanted. Come nighttime, the canopy will serve as the wedding stage using flower decorations and a symbolic fire as witnesses while the marriage ceremony is going on.

The traditional wedding dress code for Indian weddings is admired by people due to their elegance and cost. Bridal lehangas that complement the bridal mehandi are usually very expensive, and not as easily bought as traditional western wedding gowns. The exclusivity of the rituals and the elements is what makes Indian weddings desirable to people overseas.
