A Budget Is Essential For An Indian Wedding

• Indian weddings are large affairs and can involve
  family and friends coming from distant shores for
  the various rituals that take place before the
  wedding and on the big day itself. Some people
  today hire a wedding planner to take care of a
  lot of the tasks involved in planning a wedding,
  but in India weddings are still largely
  considered to be a family affair with members of
  the extended family sharing the responsibility of
  planning and executing all the various jobs that
  go to make up the whole.

• One of the most important tasks is the decoration
  of the wedding venue itself. An Indian wedding
  backdrop forms the setting for the most important
  day of the lives of the bride and groom. A lot of
  thought and consideration must go into the décor
  of the venue, starting with draperies, the
  wedding stage, the mandap, the flowers, and even
  the lighting. All these can have a big effect on
  the overall appearance of the day. At Kenza
  Creations, we are renowned for the amazing décor
  we produce for weddings across the country, in
  venues far and wide, and we will always work
  within your budget.
• It is essential to have a budget for every
  wedding, and also a checklist. If you dont set a
  budget, it is so easy to go way beyond the amount
  of money that you can really afford to spend. OK,
  the day is not going to be cheap far from it.
  But you dont want to spend the next ten years
  paying for it. In fact, Indian weddings can be so
  costly if you dont set a budget or even if you
  do that many couples start a savings account on
  the birth of a daughter for that precise purpose,
  even though it can be 25 years away.

• Budget And Checklist
• You need both a checklist and a budget sheet. On
  the budget sheet you should allocate what you
  consider to be a reasonable amount for each area
  of the wedding, because that will help you to
  keep the expenses in check. It also means that if
  you overrun on one item, you may well be able to
  cut down on another one so that the overall cost
  remains viable. It is very important to keep
  track of expenditure as you go.
• You need to choose a central colour scheme for a
  wedding, and all the decorations will be centred
  on that particular colour or colours. Favourites
  today for Indian weddings are red and gold, red
  being a traditional choice for the brides
  wedding dress. Other popular colours are pink,
  lavender, royal blue, and green.

• When it comes to drapes and canopies, the
  standard colours are often yellow and red, which
  will match well with red and gold. Draperies can
  add character to the venue and can be
  interspersed with flowers and lights.
• Flowers, of course, are an essential in any
  Indian wedding, and these can range from strings
  of marigolds to orchids and lilies. Roses are
  also popular, so you could go for red roses mixed
  in with white jasmine, for instance. In order to
  keep costs down, you should use flowers that are
  in season in the UK because if you settle for
  flowers that have to be imported, the cost is
  going to rocket.
• The stage, of course, is where the bride and
  groom are brought in to meet the guests and seek
  their blessings. This is one thing, along with
  the mandap, where you can really go to town with
  the drapes and flower arrangements. It may be
  that you need to cut down on the budget
  elsewhere, but you can be excused for spending
  more on the stage and mandap.
