New Delhi, June 30 (IANS) Do you dream of having a monsoon wedding -- but are scared of rain playing spoilsport? Just prepare a back-up plan in advance to welcome the showers, says an expert.
Surruchi Joshhi, Founder and Director at wedding planning company Raas Luxury Weddings, shares a list of dos and don'ts for a monsoon wedding.
Dos--
Plan a rain dance party as part of your pre-wedding event.
Seating becomes difficult to arrange in the rain, bean bag seating setup is perfect especially among youngsters.
Beautification should be done using neons, flowery drapes and ribbon décor. They will suit the ambience.
When it is monsoon, dont shy away from having a monsoon-based theme in your stationery. Starting from your invitation cards to the giveaways, monsoon is the key to design.
Rains create a need for you to wear fresh coloured lehengas. Peach, subtle gold, rose pink, tomato red are the colours of the season.
How good is an umbrella as a giveaway to your guests? Bangles, sunshades have become common giveaways.
Your guests would need to wrap up their phones and belongings while in the rain, so arrange for plastic or rather personalised waterproof bags.
Rain proofing is an absolute necessity if you are not planning your wedding in a banquet. But a banquet should definitely be the first choice.
Don'ts--
Your make-up should not be based on a heavy foundation. It wont just keep up.
Decorations based on warm colours are a big no-no!
Dont have flower-based decorations, prefer parachute material gazebo, floral prints in the drape and artificial flowers.
Heels dont go well with rains. Juttis/floral mojaris are what's in vogue.
For your mehendi, dont go for heavy real flower jewellery, instead prefer tiaras, or gotta jewellery.
